Varanasi Govt. High School, Kashinagar

Date: 19th January, 2012

Name of the teacher: Routhe Dilip Kumar

Topic: DNA

Materials used: black board, charts, computer

·  Micro lesson plan available but I was not able to have a look because of power cut·  Questions were posed to students which they answered confidently·  Students did not pose questions, which should ideally have been the case·  Students were divided into groups
[X]  Teacher had good knowledge of content but body language was wanting. Displayed a somewhat stiff attitude which I feel erected a barrier between the teacher and a student

Some of the problems from which the school suffers and which are acting as an impediment to the program are as follows:

·  Non-functional computers - 2 of them which needs to be formatted·  Frequent power cuts
[X]  Non-cooperative HM who does not understand the objectives of the program and seems to discourage teachers from attending training sessions and implement their respective work plans

[ ]  Critical Remarks

[X]  Preparatory plan was missing as I gave the teachers a days notice

[X]  Hard spots were addressed but the teacher could not come down to the level of the students while doing the same. Although he had a very good knowledge of the content, he could not come down to the level of the students, while delivering the same

[X]  Pedagogic technique - ABL. Teacher was not able to make the students think and did not give time for the same. He went a little fast

[X]  Although the students were posed questions, the transaction was more of a preaching rather than that of facilitating

[X]  Group formation, demonstration was done, but there was no clear role allocation amongst the group members

[X]  Project execution: Most of the steps were followed
