Teaching and Learning Process

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience. Planning, teaching, and reflecting are natural aspects of the teaching and learning process. This cycle allows educators to prepare for their students’ learning, teach, and then reflect upon the effectiveness of the teaching.

This field experience is designed to continue practicing the art of teaching while planning for instruction through reflective practices. Teach one or more ELA, social studies, or art lessons provided by your mentor teacher. Carefully review the results of any formal or informal assessments you administered as part of that teaching to evaluate the effect of your teaching on student outcomes.

Using any remaining field experience hours, assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class. Write a 250-500 word reflection on the assessment data collected from the lesson taught. Explain how you would modify instruction based on the data. Include an overall reflection of the teaching process, addressing any changes you would make to future instruction.
