GUIDE FOR REFLECTION TO DESIGN EVALUATION REPORTS Self-evaluation/ peer evaluation report ( select the correct one) This form is intended as a guide to help you organize your ideas when writing either your self-evaluation report or the peer evaluation report for your mate. The peer and self- evaluation report should be uploaded on the platform the same week the practice takes place. So as make the teacher in charge reflect upon her practice before the following class. Please, write a short paragraph for each headline. Remember to include them in the pedagogical folder at the end of the year. Please, don’t write a long narration, just write a report that is useful to your mate and the teacher to interpret what happened that day Institution: Class:-----------------------Student teacher in charge:--------------------Date:-----------------------Organization of the lesson: Students´ performance during the lesson: Use of materials and resources: Management of time (timing / pacing):

When writing the report, take also into account the teacher’s observation grid. Final report: They should not be just a regurgitation of what is in the report. They should be succinct, and focus on the reader's attention on the most significant aspects of your achievement as you see them. They should indicate your ability to reflect on your performance insightfully and honestly. You might write about - a significant development, in line with what the teacher has said in the report - special opportunities you took up during the practice - special features of the program you developed - areas of strength, or specialisation which you developed or applied
- aspects of teaching which you feel are particularly important to you - how the practice has extended your range of experience - your understanding of the complexity of the teacher's role, including extra-curricular commitments - your preparedness and enthusiasm for your first appointment Your writing should be structured coherently, professional in expression and in its use of language, error free, and use an appropriate and positive tone (this does not exclude touches of humour). It should also use gender inclusive language. However, try not to sound like a curriculum statement! If you experienced difficulties and these are reflected in the report, be honest about them, but couch them in terms of being a positive learning experience for you. Write about how you might 'do it differently' in your first appointment. Do not use your comments box to write 'thank-yous' to your supervising teacher and school! However, you can talk about the support and positive learning environment which was provided insofar as these contributed to your success.
