MY.P - A2 Analysis Practice and feedback

Feedback

The feedback I provided in appendix 2 shows evidence of effective feedback. This is because I start off by acknowledging how the music introduced a welcoming feeling. The first impression of the lesson is essential to gain the whole class’s attention in order to have an effective teaching lesson. Given the time frame of teaching these lessons, I appreciated the delivery of the quality content provided by these teachers. Pointing out the positives at the start of applying feedback allows the person receiving this feedback to know what they did right before reading what they can work on in the future (White, 2007, p. 16). I suggested for more class discussions which helps emphasizes student engagement and obtaining new knowledge. The music at the start was good but the two teachers were trying to speak over the music which wasn’t effective communication; so, I suggest turning it down before teaching.


The feedback shown on appendix 3 was highly positive. Content discussion and class engagement was praised by as I wanted to reinsure that they started their second lesson on a high note. Expectations were discussed from start to finish which reflects on their strong teaching structure. I believe I provided effective feedback for appendix 3 although needed to provide more responses on how they can improve as teachers. By providing negative feedback, it helps to foster growth by increasing self-awareness and driving the person to individual success (Fletcher, 2018, p. 3). 


Appendix 5 effectively blends constructive criticism with positive reinforcement. I start by appreciating the class discussions, but I did suggest incorporating more praise during class discussions towards the students to help boost student confidence. I believe this is effective and constructive feedback where the teacher understands exactly what they need to do in order to successfully teach in future lessons (Jug, 2019, p. 248). I also included constructive feedback on their classroom management, I suggested a strategy to help enhance the student focus. My goal for this feedback was for the teacher to understand the importance of a safe learning environment where the students can learn in a positive way. 


Located on appendix 7, the feedback I provided is what I believe was effective due to acknowledging the positive elements throughout the lesson. I start by positively express the enjoyment that I had throughout this lesson. My background knowledge, class engagement and higher order thinking was heavily applied throughout this lesson. My aim for providing this feedback for the teachers was to praise and acknowledge how they have applied themselves for their final teaching lesson. This is why feedback is important, especially for teachers because they can improve each time that they teach (AISTL, 2017, p. 10).


The feedback provided in appendix 8 effectively highlights the strengths of the lesson where I also provided specific details for reinforcement. I start by positively acknowledging the lesson's excellence in fostering higher-order thinking by encouraging analysis, evaluation, prediction, and consideration of multiple perspectives during the Gallipoli topic. I also touched on with the feedback how well they managed the classroom with breakrooms for class collaboration emphasizes a well-rounded teaching environment, and the acknowledgment of cultural knowledge engagement adds depth and personal connection to the lesson.
