Well THIS was interesting. Addy listened to some of the questions the kids had and frowned a bit. One girl in particular seemed to be having a MOMENT. The Bellaire kid, that was. Tut, tut. Not tutting at the child,that is, the Healer got the mental tutting. Listening more intently she focused her eyes on the parchment, ears open for what was going on around the room. The Ravenclaw in her wanted to participate in this lesson as well, but the teacher and mother in her wanted to teach people the proper way to do things.

But.

For now she had a different task at hand. More evaluating.

Text Cut: BoG Observation Form

HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

BOARD OF GOVERNORS OBSERVATION

Observer: Who is observing the lesson?

Jacklyn "Addy" Hutchinson
Professor: Who is teaching the lesson?

Healer River Reed
Subject: What subject does this lesson fall under?

Potions
Topic: What is the concept students will learn about over the course of this lesson?

How to brew a potion of (as of yet) undetermined origin.
Objective: What are the 1 or 2 student learning objectives/goals that will be measured in this lesson?

Launch: How does the professor get the lesson started? What technique(s) did he/she use to engage students?

I understand that the Healer wanted to do something "fun" to start the lesson... but I found it a bit careless. He set up a scavenger hunt for them all to find fireseeds, stargrass, and Betony leaves. While I think it is a neat idea, I think that the likelihood of injury or contamination was too great. I have yet to see one student wash their hands since they came in. They have all gone to their workstations and thus contaminated all of their equipment.

Waiting to see if the Healer has them wash up since he had them do it before they left the room.

Instruction: How do diverse students engage with ideas/texts to develop their own understanding; what guiding questions does the professor ask; how is the professor promoting question generation/discussion; what activities are the students performing? In short, outline the lesson as you observe it.

-Starts lesson by directing them to leave the room to discover missing ingredients
-Has asked them all what kind of potion they think they might be brewing today after giving them a list of ingredients.
-Seems to be encouraging free thinking.
- The students are expressing that the directions for gathering ingredients were unclear. Healer Reed seems to think they were clear, but mentioned a "contingency plan". Why was that needed if he was clear? Will see how this unfolds.

Closure: How does the professor bring closure to the lesson?
