common assessment options include:

how someone is learning material
throughout a course.

and tests that evaluate

throughout a course.
6. Lesson Reflection
Reflection Makes You
Better
• The lesson reflection portion of a lesson plan
encourages teachers to take notes on how to improve
a lesson after it has been completed.
• By this point, your lesson has clear objectives, a plan
for teaching, and a way to assess student learning.
• But if you don’t critically consider whether you
succeeded, you’re doing a disservice to your future
students!
• When completing your lesson reflection, ask yourself
questions like:
• Did a part of the lesson take longer than expected?
• Was there a portion that students asked for a lot of help
with?
• Did students breeze through the information with no
problem?
• Were students engaged and interested in the lesson?
• Were the objectives met by most (or all) of the students?
