Intentional lesson planning requires teachers to reflect on previous lessons taught. Reflecting each day on the effectiveness of lessons taught will help early childhood educators plan and implement lessons that meet the needs of all students in their classrooms. Asking others to observe your lessons and recording yourself teach lessons can help you reflect on your teaching practices.
Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Review the unit plan you created with your mentor teacher. Select one lesson from the unit plan to implement with the class or a small group of students, using the student groupings created in Topic 2. Revise the lesson based on any feedback received from your mentor teacher prior to teaching the lesson. Record yourself teaching the lesson using any video recording device. It is mandatory that the “Video Recording Permission Requests” be completed by the parent/guardian of each student prior to recording. After the lesson, review the video with your mentor teacher and obtain feedback on how the lesson went.
Use the remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
In a 250-500 word reflection, address the following:
Summarize the activity and feedback received from your mentor teacher.
Were students engaged in the cross-content learning?
How effective was the use of the student groupings you created?
How did students respond to the arts integration in this lesson?
How did you meet the needs of the students based on the information in the class profile during your lesson?
What do you feel went well and what will you do differently next time?
