1A.4:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well-Structured Lessons<\/p>\n
During the fall CAP meeting, both my university mentor and my mentor teacher\u00a0granted me ratings of “Proficient<\/strong>” in terms of having well-structured lessons. Please refer to my lessons in the Painting with Complementary Colors Unit<\/a> for more information. This project was assigned to students in the winter and reflects my ability to develop well-structured and highly engaging lessons from the fall. My objectives were\u00a0clear and appropriate for students; most students were engaged with the lessons; and the quality of the final product show an improvement in students’ art skills.<\/p>\n Since the fall, I have continued to prepare well-structured lessons. Please refer to my lessons in the Collage Diptychs Unit<\/a> for more information. This project was assigned to students in late-spring and reflects my ability to develop well-structured and highly engaging lessons from earlier in the spring. I kept my lessons organized in a binder in order to reflect on their effectiveness, writing comments and suggestions for myself after each daily lesson.<\/p>\n 1B.2:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Adjustment to Practice<\/p>\n During the fall CAP meeting, both my university mentor and my mentor teacher\u00a0granted me ratings of “Needs Improvement<\/strong>” in terms of adjusting my practice to students’ needs. Please refer to my reflection<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0the Painting with Complementary Colors Unit for more information. This\u00a0reflection from my lesson planning in the fall outlines my analysis of\u00a0how the unit panned out and how I could use those results to determine progress\u00a0for future implementations.\u00a0One suggestion from the fall was to have more differentiated instruction based on continual assessments of student work for future projects.<\/p>\n Since the fall, I have used the information I gleaned from continual assessments of student work to add more differentiated instruction into my lessons. Please refer to my reflection<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0the Collage Diptychs Unit for more information. This reflection from my lesson planning in the spring outlines my analysis of\u00a0how the unit panned out and how I could use those results to determine progress\u00a0for future implementations.\u00a0Especially in the two collage lessons, you will find that I included multiple modes of presenting the content as a means for differentiating instruction so all students could access the information. I also was flexible in adjusting the final product of the unit for students as another means for differentiating instruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1A.4:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well-Structured Lessons During the fall CAP meeting, both my university mentor and my mentor teacher\u00a0granted me ratings of “Proficient” in terms of having well-structured lessons.
