Evaluation for Throughout the next lessons students will be learning more content on the

Where to next? Artist assessment will be completed through class and homework.
Evaluation of your This lesson ran well as my first lesson and the students responded to the
planning tasks that they were issued throughout the class. On reflection I felt that
having a wide range of activities and tasks within the double lesson
assisted the students in staying focussed and on task for the whole
duration. As it was my first lesson with this group of year 8s I put a focus,
for myself, on the AITSL standard implementation of standard 1 (Know
students and how they learn) and spent time getting to know each
individual student as best as possible and learning names of the students.
Some adjustments and improvements I could add to this lesson would be
to have the ukuleles organised before the class starts as having to get them
all out, tune them and issue them to students took up time which would
have been better used to teach the students the ukulele. Another
improvement would be to use names more frequently within behavioural
management aspects of the class (however this will improve with more
teaching time with the students).
