Clinical Field Experience Week 5

Allocate at least 2.5 hours in the field to support this assignment.

At your field experience site, observe at least one lesson taught by   a certified grade 1-8 teacher. Look at the learning strategies and   activities utilized during the lesson. Make note of how students are   grouped during various learning activities.

Speak with your mentor teacher about differentiation. What   considerations are taken into account when learning activities are   differentiated for the students in the classroom? Use this field   experience to gather ideas for your lessons in Topic 6.

Based on what you have learned from your observations, address the   following questions in a 250-500 word reflection.

1. What were some of the learning strategies and activities     utilized during the lesson?
2. How were the students grouped     during the learning activities?
3. What types of things are     taken into account when differentiating learning activities?

GCU format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
