Today I observed John Doe's lvl 3 reading class. I really like how he leads his class, very casual and relaxed learning environment. He also uses the board very well. I think I learned a lot about how to start a class by just watching him. He wrote vocabulary words on the board even before the start of class and when a new word would come up, he would stop, write it on the board and give a definition. He also encouraged class participation by having he students spell the new words first and having them try to explain them. He explained the "Cornell" note taking strategy, something I had never heard of, and how to take good notes. His rate of speech was level appropriate and had visual aides to assist in explaining new vocabulary words. I think I will definitely incorporate some of his techniques into my own teaching lessons. I also like being able to observe classes like this online. Are there more available?
