Microteaching Feedback Timeline
Schedule a microteaching lesson, observation, feedback, and revision cycle.
Description
A microteaching plan lays teaching, observation, feedback and revision on one sequential timeline.
A microteaching plan lays teaching, observation, feedback and revision on one sequential timeline. This budget assumes those phases occur one after another.1
Schedule a microteaching lesson, observation, feedback, and revision cycle.
When to use Microteaching Feedback Timeline
Use this tool to schedule a microteaching lesson, observation, feedback, and revision cycle.
Prepare the lesson timeline, roster, observations or assessment labels requested. Use consistent units and exact identifiers, then choose comparison criteria appropriate to the activity.
How to use Microteaching Feedback Timeline and understand its results
- Prepare the lesson timeline, roster, observations or assessment labels requested. Use consistent units and exact identifiers, then choose comparison criteria appropriate to the activity.
- Enter startMinute, teachMinutes, observeMinutes, feedbackMinutes, reviseMinutes using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read phaseNames, phaseStartMinutes, endMinute. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| startMinute | Start minute | number | Required |
| teachMinutes | Teach minutes | number | Required |
| observeMinutes | Observe minutes | number | Required |
| feedbackMinutes | Feedback minutes | number | Required |
| reviseMinutes | Revise minutes | number | Required |
Enter finite start minute and positive durations for all four phases. Return phase names in teach/observe/feedback/revise order, aligned starts and end minute.
phaseStart_i=start+ΣpriorDurations; end=start+ΣallDurations Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| phaseNames | Phase names | list of string |
| phaseStartMinutes | Phase start minutes | list of number |
| endMinute | End minute | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Observation is scheduled as its own phase rather than overlapping teaching. No participant availability, feedback content or teaching quality is checked.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Lesson Study Cycle: Schedule a lesson-study plan, teaching, observation, reflection, and revision cycle. For a complementary task, use Workshop Time Allocation: Allocate a workshop period to mini-lesson, independent work, and share.
