Characterisitic 5: Knowledge of Pedagogy
To show that i have mastered this characteristic, i plan on importing my learning cycle from our science methods class. This in-depth lesson plan will showcase my ability to come up with lessons and activities to both teach and assess student learing, all while meeting or exceeding state standards and objectives.
I also plan to include the tech toolkit that we completed as part of our SPED 360 class to prove that i have knowledge of pedagogy. This project will highlight my ability to differientiate instruction for students through the use of technology. i have also received feedback from my mentor teachers regarding each of these lessons which proves i have met their expectations as professionals in the field.
Characteristic 8: Reflective Practictioner
To show that i have met this characteristic, i will have a direct link set up to my blog page so that the panel can see just how often i reflect on my practices as a preservice teacher. i will also point out that each and every lesson plan i include in my portfolio will have completed reflection questions at the end to show that i am reflecting in the field as i teach. Finally, our teacher video will serve as a great tool for reflection in that i can learn from my mistakes, and reflect on the postive things i do when teaching at my PDS.
Allie,
What characteristics and artifacts are you going to discuss today?
Don't limit yourself to blogging here just when assigned. Answer those reflection questions at the end of your lessons and keep the answers here, that way you'll have record of them throughout your next two years.
ReplyDeleteJason, I also reflected on characteristic 1. I didn't even think about the Learning cycle as an artifact, but it most certainly is. You cannot teach the science concepts if you do not understand them!
