A teacher applies a current and comprehensive

repertoire of effective planning, instruction, and

assessment practices to meet the learning needs of

every student.

​

Planning and designing learning activities that:

 - address the learning outcomes outlined in

programs of study; I have now created two lesson plans using the programs of study as an outline for my lesson.

​

Pictured is the lesson plan I taught in my Grade 2 Practicum class in Winter 2022.

​

Although there are many things I can still improve on, I believe that this lesson plan is extremely important to include. The lesson went much better than I anticipated it would, and I was extremely satisfied with the way the students understood and engaged with my lesson.

​

 - incorporate a range of instructional strategies, including the appropriate use(s) of digital technology, according to the context, content, desired outcomes and the learning needs of students; I have learned many educational websites in EDTS 325 that provide meaningful and appropriate use of online tools.

​

Pictured is a video assignment I created using EdPuzzle. If you click on the image, you can watch the video to see how it works. 

​

 - build student capacity for collaboration; In my 3rd year practicum, I created a Jeopardy-style game for review to wrap up our unit before moving on to our final activity.

​

Pictured is the board I created that prompted students with categories and points that they were prompted to answer in their groups.

​

My students loved this activity, they were able to use teamwork to come up with answers. They enjoyed the competition but also worked with applying the content provided. 

​

 - incorporate digital technology and resources, as appropriate, to build student capacity for:

1. acquiring, applying and creating new knowledge;

2. communicating and collaborating with others,

3. critical-thinking; and

4. accessing, interpreting and evaluating information from diverse sources; 

In EDTS 325, we incorporated technology into lessons to create meaningful learning that is relevant, engaging and informational.

​

Pictured is an assignment I made using ThingLink.

​

If you click on the image, you can see what I did with the tool. I was able to provide information and question students at the same time, while making the content feel like a video game.

           

Using instructional strategies to engage students in meaningful learning activities, based on:

 - a knowledge of how students develop as learners; In EDTS 325, we learned how to create meaningful lesson plans.
