OSTP 5.5 Rationale: Why is this important? Improved student behavior because I will be walking around more frequently. I will become more student-focused and learn where their problem areas are by not being diverted to other things during class. Steps and resources to attain goal Step 1 – Avoid my desk area and external distractions such as paperwork during class. Move about the room instead. Step 2 – Rearrange student desks to increase engagement with lessons. Step 3 – Check periodically for individual student progress and understanding. Step 4 – Prepare videotape of class session to mentor or be observed by mentor to check progress. * If taping, reserve camera for use in class. * Observe a teaching colleague other than my mentor and study his/her movement around the room and activities during class.
