  3. Clark Creek Elementary School • Opened in 2012 • 922 Students – Kindergarten through fifth grade • Principal – Dr. Jennifer Scrivner • Mascot: Red Hawks

  4. Math • Science DAILY SCHEDULE

  6. My thoughts and feelings as I began Candidate Teaching……… • FEARS!! • Feeling inadequate • Feeling anxious • Apprehension • STRENGTHS!! • Love of children • Love of teaching • WEAKNESSES!! • Time management • Class management

  7. DOMAIN I: Planning For Differentiated Instruction & Assessment • Participating in the co-teaching model, me and collaborating teacher would plan lessons together. • Planning lessons was based upon Georgia Performance Standards and Common Core. • We would discuss the students who needed extended help and would pre-determine groups based on that, as well as the pre-assessment • Differentiated instruction would be based on the individual students’ pre-assessment and students learning styles. • Post-assessments were given at the end of every lesson to determine growth and progress.

  8. DOMAIN I: Planning for Differentiated Instruction & Assessment Lessons 1.Multiplying Fractions with a whole number *2.Inches, Feet and Yards *3.The Water Cycle 4.Transparent, Translucent & Opaque

  9. Pre-Assessment Students were asked to fill in the table and then fill in the blanks to convert inches to feet and feet to yards.

  14. DOMAIN II: Providing For Differentiated Instruction & Assessment. Proficiency Evidence: Differentiation Inches to Feet to Yards: Differentiation

  15. The Water Cycle: Differentiated Instruction

  16. DOMAIN III: Proficiency Evidence: Inches to Feet to Yards Students pre and post assessments were the same

  17. Impacting Student LearningProficiency Evidence: Water Cycle Analysis Students were given the same pre and post assessments

  18. DOMAIN III: Proficiency Evidence: Use of Impacting Student Analysis for instruction • After reviewing the post-assessment scores, I would determine whether or not I needed to revisit the concept. Most of the time there would be a couple of the students who I felt needed a little extra work. When planning for our weekly lessons, we would implement extra help in the mornings with these students to make sure that they understood before asking them to move on. I would usually be the teacher who worked with them, and I would plan some hands on activities and engage them in discussions using the essential questions.

  19. DOMAIN IV: Professional Responsibilities in Support of Differentiated instruction & Assessment

  20. TEACHING PHILOSOPHY : THEN AND NOW! • My philosophy did not change that much, except that I see now that students have to be excited about what they are learning. And when they are excited about what they are learning, they tend to remember those lessons! When a teacher stands in front of the classroom and just speaks about the subject and the students are not able to experience things for themselves, they are not excited about learning. They seem to forget what you teach them unless you are letting them experience it by hands on learning. I now see where this is a vital part in the learning process of children. • My Teaching Philosophy

  21. CONTINUING PLAN TO DEVELOP AS A PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR • Continuing Education: • Master’s Degree? • Get Certified in Special Education • Gifted Endorsed • Continue to learn as much as possible about how to improve my teaching abilities in the classroom. • Teaching Certification: • Seeking full time employment in public or private school.

  22. Thank you! • Thank God for giving me the strength to work and go to school and reach my goal. • Thank you, the faculty and administration at Reinhardt University for putting up with all my questions and helping me to realize a life long dream. • Thank you to my husband and my daughters who stood by my me and encouraged me to endure to the end. • Family and friends who were understanding when I had homework and couldn’t socialize.
