This document proposes a more structured approach to completing observation hours that provides consistent feedback to students. It suggests requiring 12 teaching lessons divided into 3 lesson units. For each unit: Unit 1 would receive no feedback, Unit 2 would use a teaching performance scale for emailed feedback after each lesson, and Unit 3 would use a "bug in ear" for live feedback during lessons. Student reactions and reflections would be collected after each unit and overall to gather feedback on the process. The goal is to improve feedback practice and connect lessons from one to the next for students.

1. Systematic Teaching
Feedback

2. My frustrations
• A need for Quality
Observation Hours
• Disconnect from lesson to
lesson
• Feedback practice differed
from student to student

3. Key Barrier
How do we require students to
complete observation hours in a
more structured manner that are
not part of a course?

4. Potential Solutions
 Require more lesson plans outside of
practicum hours
 Schedule lessons taught into units
 Develop feedback criteria that would be
delivered to each student following each lesson

5. Student Learning Objectives
 Communication - Demonstrated effective interpersonal
interaction (with students)
Activity Learning Outcome - Provide appropriate
congruent, specific, corrective, and positive feedback.
Provide complete and accurate demonstrations
 Critical Thinking - Employ appropriate analysis or
instrumentation to improve performance and motivation
Activity Learning Outcome – Highlighted areas on lesson
plan where feedback areas had been addressed

6. Proposal to Students
 12 teaching hours or 12 lessons
 Three – four lesson units
 Lesson plans required for each teach
 Reflections following each unit required
 Reflection following completion of all three units
 = 24 observation hours

7. The Breakdown
 Unit 1 – No feedback
 Unit 2 – Feedback from Qualitative Measures of
Teaching Performance Scale (QMTPS)
 Unit 3 – Feedback from Bug in Ear

8. QMTPS

9. Unit 1 – No feedback
Student Reactions

10. Unit 2 - QMTPS
• Feedback provided via email
each lesson
• Students were to address
feedback areas in following
lesson plan
Student Reactions

11. Unit 3 – Bug in Ear
• Feedback provided during the
lesson
• Two-way radio were used to
communicate
Student Reactions
