M8 U3 Activity 1: InTASC Standards 1, 2 and 3 Video and Reflection
Project Description
Overview Understanding individual differences and diverse cultures and communities helps teachers develop inclusive learning environments that support each student in meeting high standards. Teachers should bring the cultures of their students into the classroom so that students see themselves and their families in the curriculum. In addition, curriculum and instruction can build on students’ cultural and lived experiences to create meaningful and authentic learning experiences to help them learn. In this activity, you will submit a video to demonstrate Standards 1, 2, and 3 that all deal with your interactions with students. Your reflection should discuss the strategies you used to meet the elements of the rubric criteria and discuss how you will meet criteria in future lessons that were not present in this video. Performance outcomes
Candidates record their teaching practice as a means of examining and reflecting upon their practice.
Candidates understand individual differences and diverse cultures and communities.
Candidates create inclusive learning environments in their classrooms.
What will you do?
Review Standards 1-3 in the ‘TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric’ and ‘Ways of Thinking about the Clinical Practice’ documents. Also, review the ‘Tips and Strategies for Clinical Practice Lesson Submissions’ in the Activity Resources.
Write a detailed lesson plan for the lesson you plan to record. You must use the TEACH-NOW lesson plan template. Your lesson plan should clearly identify how you are using previous data to drive instruction through differentiation and next steps. Your lesson plan should clearly indicate where Standards 1, 2, and 3 on the Learner and Learning, i.e., Learner Development, Learning Differences, and Learning Environments are addressed.
Video record an entire lesson based on the lesson plan. Make sure the audio and video are both clear and understandable. The video should demonstrate that you understand all elements in the first three standards.
Edit your video to the 15-20 minutes that best relate to Standards 1, 2, and 3. Include the beginning of the lesson.
Annotate the video (or write in a separate document with timestamps recorded) where elements of Standards 1, 2, and 3 are addressed.
Write or record a reflection on your lesson (approx. 500 words or 3-5 minutes) detailing what you learned about your teaching practice by watching your video. Reflect on how each element of the lesson went and what you would do to change the lesson (if anything) if you were to teach the lesson again. If you feel you would need to reteach the concept, please mention that and tell what strategy(ies) you would use to reteach. Your reflection should be a deeper analysis of each aspect of the lesson instead of a simple recap of what happened. Include both what you did well and what needs improvement. If your video does not demonstrate how you met each element of Standards 1-3, discuss how you are meeting those elements as part of your reflection. Note: If your instructor feels you need to demonstrate growth based on feedback, they may request that you resubmit videos later in the clinical portion of the program.
Make a video or audio recording of your debriefing session with your mentor. While audio is allowed, video is preferred.
Save your videos in the YouTube Video library by clicking on the Upload to YouTube button on the Submission page. Label each video appropriately to help your instructor find the relevant videos.
Report requirements
Edited and annotated video of your teaching based on Standard 1-3 on the Learner and Learning
Lesson plan for the lesson taught in the video
Comprehensive reflection about how you demonstrated in the video that you met Standards 1, 2 and 3.
Video or audio of debriefing with your mentor
Notes Your instructor will indicate whether all 4 sections of your assignment (i.e., lesson plan, video of lesson, video of debriefing with mentor, and reflection) have been submitted. The activity will be marked incomplete if all 4 sections have not been submitted.
