Humanities Homework Help

Collaboration between peers and professional educational colleagues is one of the best ways to support all students throughout their educational journey. Understanding and observing instructional practices of colleagues allows curriculum experts to collect data that can be shared with the instructor to promote student academic success.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Observe your mentor teacher during whole group or small group instruction for a minimum of two lessons. Your observations should include the students administered the learning style inventory in the Topic 2. Take note of how the teacher differentiated the lesson for small groups and the individual students in your chosen group. Observe whether these students were prepared for the lesson and their level of interest in the material.

After each observation, discuss the following with your mentor:

• How did you prepare the lesson to differentiate instruction for individual students and groups of students based on learning preferences and learning styles?
• How did you ensure student readiness according to developmental and performance levels of students before and during the lesson?
• How did you promote student interest in the topic before and during instruction?
• What technology resources were used to aid in differentiating instruction, promoting student learning, and student ownership of learning?
• After the first observation, what changes will you make to future lessons based on the successes or failures of this lesson? Provide the mentor with suggestions based on your own observations.
• Following the second observation, what changes will you make to the lesson based on the discussion and suggestions from the first observation?

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of the lessons being taught and interviews. Describe how you would further differentiate these lessons for the students identified in Topic 2. How will you apply the concepts of student interest, ownership of learning, and differentiation to your future professional practice?

Submit your reflection and interview responses to the LMS.
