I found myself pausing the video, which I could not do in a normal observation. I think I need to use the form a few more times and get more familiar with the levels of Bloom’s in order to be effective with this observation form. I might also want to record the teacher my first few times observing to make sure I catch everything. Next time, I would also have a Bloom’s taxonomy guide next to me while observing as a quick reference tool. I think being more familiar with the collection technique, recording the lesson, and having a Bloom’s reference guide would help me better collect the date and provide better feedback.
I would still like to learn more about the other data collection techniques that the text mentions, and I would like to try each out in the classroom. I could talk with our district’s instructional coaches about various data collection techniques and how they are best used. I could then use my plan time or more online instructional videos to practice the data collection techniques. I think this would help me to provide more meaningful and detailed feedback as a leader and
