Co-Workers Teaching Styles

So since I was only working with Tony this past Saturday session, my reflection will be about his teaching style based on what I've observed from this Session as well as the the past few sessions.

I've noticed that Tony speaks up loudly whenever he's leading a lesson and also goes through the lesson thoroughly to insure total understanding. He also does a great job when he's working one on one with a student to answer a question or help solve a problem they're having with their project--he also doesn't hesitate to call me over for further help if there's something he's not too sure about.

Some things I noticed that he could improve on a little more are moving around the class more both when he's leading as well as when he isn't. I noticed that Tony tends to stay at the front of the classroom when he's teaching, and at the back when he's not. So that could be something he could work on, moving around while he teaches could grab the students attention more and really make sure that they are paying attention, and moving around while he isn't teaching could ensure again that the students are really paying attention and are not being distracted by facebook or games, etc. as well as be more available for those who may have fallen behing a bit or have questions pertaining to the lesson that the leading instructor might have missed or wouldn't really have time to stop for; so he would be kind of like the eyes in the back of the room for the instructor who's leading at the front and cant catch every little thing with the students.

But yeah, overall he's doing a great job as an instructor of course.
