M7 U1 Activity 2: Standards for Clinical Practice
Project Description
Overview You are now getting ready to begin the clinical practice portion of the program. In preparation for your clinical practice, you must understand the standards used to observe, evaluate and reflect on your teaching during the clinical practice. We will be using the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric based on the 10 InTASC standards to evaluate your teaching practice. To meet all objectives in Module 8, you will need to understand the ten Teach-Now standards thoroughly. You will discuss the Virtual Classroom and Discussion Forum standards with your instructor and cohort this week. Use this time to clarify doubts, questions, and ideas that you may have around each standard and how it will influence your clinical practice. Performance outcomes
Candidates discuss ideas, problems, and solutions in applying the ten standards described in the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric to their own teaching practice
What will you do?
Review the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric and the Ways of Thinking About the Clinical Evaluation Criteria documents and prepare your questions before the next virtual class.
As a cohort, create a separate Discussion Forum thread on each standard to keep track of the discussions related to each standard.
Write a post on at least one standard, explaining how you will apply it in your classroom during the clinical practice. Your Discussion Forum post should detail how you will apply the standard to the subject area and grade level that you will be teaching during the clinical practice. Include any questions about that specific standard. You may also share an idea of how to present this standard. You will be presenting this standard to your cohort in the Virtual Classroom in the upcoming weeks of your clinical practice. Your instructor will share a sign-up sheet to schedule your presentation session. Tip: Select a standard that you feel you can demonstrate well in the classroom or one that you think would be a challenge for you to demonstrate. This is an opportunity to research, learn, and practice teaching in the virtual classroom with your peers.
Comment on posts made on at least two other standards by your peers in the cohort. Your responses to colleagues should be relevant, thorough, and kind.
Review the discussions on the 10 standards in the Discussion Forum and write a summary of how you will apply all 10 standards to your teaching practice on this activity’s Submission page along with your selected standard for presentation.
Prepare to participate in next week’s virtual classroom discussion on the 10 standards of the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric.
