Assessing Your Science Teaching

The following questions are to guide you in reflecting upon and improving your science teaching. You might find them useful at the end of each lesson or after teaching a unit.

How did it go?

  • How well did the lesson/unit meet your expectations in terms of student engagement?
  • If the lesson/unit fell short of your expectations, what will you do to increase your students' participation next time?

What did they learn?

  • What evidence do you have that your students understood the science concepts in the lesson/unit?
  • What evidence do you have that your students learned new skills through your lesson/unit?

What would you change?

  • What classroom management changes will you make the next time you teach the lesson/unit?
  • What time management changes will you make?
  • What different hands-on materials will you use next time?
  • What alternative assessment techniques will you use the next time?
