I will do conferencing, observations and additional guided practice. During Independent Work time, I will offer guided practice based on formative assessment. Before the students are released for independent work, the students will be given the option for additional teacher guidance. Students will be allowed to stay in the gathering area, if they feel they need additional support. The teacher will further guide them on their individual work. I will conference with the learners and provide a teaching point to make their writing better. Learners will demonstrate their learning by sharing their writing, independent work and conferences, as well as reflective questions. The formative assessment is able to meet each students needs based on the
This will support students by working cooperatively with the teacher to increase their understanding of each requirement (Borich, 2011). Focus Student 1 (Above Proficient) was among this group that met or exceeded the standard in every area identified in the rubric. Additionally, student 1 will be provided enrichment activities to progress his learning. I will build upon their knowledge using strategies to increase my student’s understanding of how to prepare an informative explanatory text using topics that consider the audience. These strategies will assist them with providing credible facts and definitions, well developed points, and a concluding statement that is relative to the topic in their text.
She elicited parent to volunteer in the classroom. 4d – Miss Hannan participated in twice a week grade team meetings. She was an active participant at these meetings, discussing and sharing strategies and resources. During band concert rehearsals, Miss Hannan assisted students to help them prepare for the school wide event. Miss Hannan attended several district and school-wide professional developing training sessions on literacy, math, student engagement and mediation.
Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) is important to understand prior to implementing creative activities in your classroom because from the reading I liked a few points on how young children develop and learn and what is known about effective early education. First, knowing what is expected at each stage of a young child 's development is important, and it informs decisions about the best practices. Another key factor is knowing exactly what is appropriate for each individual child. Watching children play can give important insight to their progress and ability.
As I have learned how to conduct writing conferences, I know that the words that I choose to use will greatly impact my student’s learning. Questions such as, “What are you doing as a writer today?” will challenge my students to see themselves as writers and be able to think through their process of writing. (25) In addition, while teaching number talks, I have asked the question, “How did you figure that out?” (31).
Janetta has a goal of construct well-written sentences. To assess this goal, I would use a formative assessment. First, I would use a choral response to review what parts must be in a sentence. Once we have reviewed what makes up a sentence, I will have Janetta give examples and non-examples of sentences. If she is having difficulty with this, I will present Janetta with examples and non-examples, modeling how to write a sentence with five words including capitalization and punctuation.
By lesson 2 students are analyzing the text and what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text and how the central ideas build on one another to provide a summary of the text. They are also creating and defending their claims. This aligns with the common core standards, as students will be citing textual evidence to support their analysis of the text and creating and defending their claims. In lesson 3, I have chosen to show how the students are able to take the feedback they are given from their performance task draft and apply it to the performance task that they will be handing in to me and also apply to their work moving forward. This lesson is a peer-editing workshop that occurs after students have drafted their formal post-assessment for the unit.
These duties consist of curriculum modification, individualization of assessments, small group work, and pull-outs. Ms. Bryant also teaches a 6th grade resource
respecting people personal space) Group Instruction KFI’s instructions were given in a 1:1 format. KFI was able to sustain attention on tasks that she was familiar too and had minimal steps. The assessment was only conducted with KFI and other adults in the room, KFI has minimal group activities and the assessor was not able to assess group instruction. She was able to demonstrate all skill sets.
I get to work with two classrooms. The first classroom is children ranging from age six to nine. The second classroom is children under the age of six. I the student music therapist brings in different interventions and learning activities
I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.
Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).
Class Observation Summary #1 My two day observation took place at Summit Academy high school. It is a school of about 700 students located in the city of Romulus MI. The teacher, Mrs. Jill Carbone allowed me to observe the 6th hour class for two days for 60 minutes each day. This class is composed of 11 English language learners (ELL); ten of the students are Spanish speakers and one student is Urdu speaker.
The paper reflects on my experience during the teaching practicum. Initially, it analyses the strategies my Mentor Teacher (MT) adopted in her teaching and interaction with the students. Additionally, it analyses the techniques I employed to motivate, monitor, and manage students during my teaching practice. Finally, it discusses how I will improve my teaching in terms of instructional strategies, classroom interaction, objectives-activities-assessments alignment, and classroom management.
Evaluation of my time spent at a London Students Union Introduction This report will the evaluating my experience during my experiential learning practice. Experiential learning practice (EPP) in its simplest form is developing skills through practice, followed by reflection on skills gained and their use. EPP was popularised as an alternative to written and aural taught learning, it offered a different and new way of learning through practical skills (Lewis & Williams, 1994, p. 6). For my EPP I was working within the representation team for a London Students union, A charitable membership organisation that represents and serves the students of a university.
