3d -- Modify instruction to respond to preconceptions or misconceptions

At the beginning of my lessons, I like to ask my students a few questions to see what they know. For my supervisor observation #1, I asked my students if they knew anything about Women's History Month. We briefly talked about Black History Month, which was the month before. We looked over who Amelia Earhart was and what the students know about her.

In level 2, I taught a math lesson for my MT observation 2. I had the students go back and do a math problem from a lesson. When I was walking around, I saw that most students did not understand the concept. I brought them back to the carpet and we went over the lesson again.

Asking students questions about what they know about the topic.
