Session 1 - after observation

We reviewed PEERS Goal:


● Powerful: will this goal, when reached, make a big difference
in students’ lives?
● Easy: Is this goal simple, clear, and easy to understand?
● Emotionally Compelling: Does this goal really matter to the
teacher?
● Reachable: Has the teacher identified a measurable outcome
and strategy to meet the outcome?
● Student-Focused: Is this goal about student achievement,
behavior, or attitude rather than the teacher or strategy?
I then asked Mrs. Carzo a series of questions to hear her reflection on
how her lesson observation went. Her answers are in red.

1. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the worst lesson


you’ve ever taught and 10 being the best, how
would you rank that lesson?
a. I felt as though the lesson was good; some of my
kids could have had more engagement, but I do
think, overall, it was good. I would rate it a 6 or 7,
maybe. I also noticed that some of the same
students were trying to answer every
question/dominate the conversation.
2. What pleased you about this lesson?
a. I like that the students were answering my
questions and engaged, and I felt Students
understood what was being taught.
3. What would you have to change to move the lesson
closer to a 10?
a. I think I would like to ensure all students are
engaged because, you know, sometimes we have
a few students who dominate the conversation.
4. What would your students be doing differently if
your class was a 10?
a. Everyone actively engaged and participating in
the learning together.
5. Tell me more about what that would look like.
a. I want my students to actively work together to
answer questions during math discussions instead
of asking a question and waiting for students to
answer on their own.
6. Do you want that to be your goal?
a. Yes, I would like to work on that as my goal.
7. If you could hit that goal, would it really matter to
you?
a. Yes because I know I have taken my classroom
engagement and participation levels higher.
8. What teaching strategy can you use to hit your
goal?
a. We are going to learn about the Nominal Group
Theory and implement that with the help of you,
Ms. Knott! Thank you I’m excited to try something
new out with my students. Sometimes when
you’ve been teaching for a long time, you get
comfortable with how you teach, but your
students may benefit from shaking it up and
trying something new! So again, I am excited
about this!
Session 2 - Learning and Prepping
During this session, we discussed the Nominal Group
Theory and I answered any questions Mrs. Carzo had.
We also set up a time for her to observe me
implementing the new teaching strategy. Her
comments are written in red.
1. Let’s review this new teaching strategy, and please
stop me at any time if you have questions or need
more clarification.
a. Ok great, thank you!

2. So, this technique allows the teacher to present a


problem or question, Students (on their own or in
pairs) write down their ideas about how to respond to
the question or problem. All ideas are recorded by the
student discussion host. The teacher or student
discussion host directs students’ attention to each idea
and asks for comments. Students vote to identify the
best ideas. Sometimes, students generate criteria for
voting before they vote. The student discussion host
shares ideas voted on to the teacher and the rest of
the class.
a. Oh I love this! This will really help support my
goal of having everyone actively participate
during our math talks.
3. We reviewed a video example of the NGT. Mrs. Carzo
did not have questions regarding that.
4. Mrs. Carzo and I reviewed the Nominal Group
Technique Checklist together. After review, We
discussed what this would look like in her
Kindergarten classroom. She wanted to incorporate
the use of technology, so we decided to use Nearpod
as a way for students to share answers.
a. I think I will need to elect student leads and
ensure they understand their role. I love the
checklist - this allows me to ensure I am correctly
implementing it! Thank you for this! I also am
excited to use Nearpod, I remember we used it
some when we were virtual, so I am interested to
see how it works in this capacity.
