Describe your Instruction
I observed and discussed next steps on October 22, 2021, November 4, 2021, and November 11, 2021,Phone Conversations January and February 2022
What were the successes?
I was able to visit the 8th grade teacher’s resource room and observe 3 times and have 2 phone conversations. After each observation, we discussed the lesson. The teacher was always open to suggestions. The teacher was able to use content area vocabulary for teaching the word mapping strategy
What were the challenges?
The teacher was trying to move to the next morpheme before the students scored the 80% accuracy from the introduction lesson. The teacher did not use the wonderful resources provided in the training such as Google Slides and posters until prompted.
How did the two of you problem solve issues?
We talked about what went well and what could be improved. I answered questions, provided suggestions, and resources.
What adjustments did you make?
The teacher started using the Google Slides with cue cards as well as created folders for each student with the list of prefixes, suffixes, and roots (color coded). The reference sheets needed to be more manageable.
