Feedbacks and reflections on microteaching

Feedbacks from colleagues

     Surprisingly, this microteaching has received lots of positive feedbacks from my colleagues. It has a  very good introduction and bridge, both learning and teaching objective are very clear, good knowledge and numbers, good communication skills, very hands-on, very animated presentation. One of my colleagues wrote that: “ can apply for a magician ‘s job!” The feedbacks are all very encouraging. Although I didn’t receive any “negative” feedback; this shows that the microteaching was very successful. I will take it as a compliment.

Personal reflections

     The reason that I had a relatively successful microteaching was that lots preparations had been done prior to the teaching. In my future teaching, I will take similar approaches. From this microteaching, I have learned that  in order to have a good and effective teaching lesson, one need to consider the following: Research and know the teaching material very well, and be the expert in the topic are that one will teach. Start the teaching plan as soon as it is assigned. Design which teaching strategy I will use. Moreover, having a backup plan ready all the time. Other factors that should be considered include the age group of the students, previous knowledge, learning skills of the students, and the diversity of the classroom.
