Lenses for Observing

To be honest I think this article could have said what it needed to say in a shorter way, it seemed wordy to me but it did have some interesting points. 

In our observations today I realized at the end of the day that I had indeed not fully thought about what I was looking at, the classroom environment, the students/teacher and what was going on between them, and what the teacher was trying to get them to achieve. 

I had taken my own beliefs that I had formed about good and bad teaching (just like the article said) and I had brought them upon the teacher that I was observing in this particular classroom and made my own judgements about what I thought she should/not have done. At the end of the day when I realized what I had done (through having a conversation with the teacher after the students were gone) I was very surprised at myself about how quickly I had judged. 

This article will definitely be a big help as I keep it in mind at the rest of my Field Experience experiences!
