    OBSERVATION Use the space below to record what happens during your visit.

    The class was very organized and the students all took an active part in all group work. After the introduction of the class agenda, Eric talked about the disorder map on the board and told the class how it would be used next week. He told them not to waste time copying it, take a picture if you want. He gave examples of how disorders and time play an important role in how one feels. Example: if someone dies in your family are you going to feel the same way in 2 weeks after the death compared to after 2 years. He also said this one reason he is not a therapist (with a big smile on his face). The bulk of the work in class had the students presenting their assigned personality disorder, (Eric filled-in when a member of the group was missing) giving very clear facts and good examples. Eric reminded the students to share their notes and that it should be one long note on the different disorders.

  • Eric ended the class by giving a quiz on Canvas. It was a test with 5 questions taken from a 20-question bank. Eric stated the questions would be selected (Canvas) randomly and he would not have to worry about kids looking around.

    GENERAL COMMENTS & REFLECTIONS What activities, resources, or strategies did you observe that you might be able to use in your class? The liked the group work and the count down timer on the wall to help keep the kids on task as they shared their disorder. The class was well planned and well paced to keep the students interest.

    FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATION After your observation, please email or meet to discuss questions or comments. I talked to Eric and told him I enjoy his class and mention the number of boys vs. girls and said it has always been this way. Confirming what he said at the faculty in-service.

    Note: A copy of the completed observation should be placed in the EIT portfolios of both the observer and the teacher. Additionally, the observer needs to provide a copy to Jeannie Quesada.
