Observed.
It went really well. WOW she tore that whole lesson apart!!! She was so honest and constructive. I felt that she believed I will make a great teacher. She told me I did things I never knew I did and wish someone told me. I flew through that material in lighting speed, I guess I was that nervous. I also say words that are way over their heads and I don't explain myself. I have to brake it down more and make sure they are with me. She said I had a natural ability to connect with the students, a certain humility. They all loved me instantly and did everything I said. My co-teacher told me I wouldn't get them to speak, but they were participating. The trainer said that I did too much teaching. I need to give up my power and allow the students time to do some of the learning. I was a little too old school lecture-esque. I did use a bunch of engaging visuals. She suggested I have some pre-written notes that they can fill in, 'cause apparently my handwriting is so god horribly awful, I know.
