ECH 630 Topic 6 Assignment Clinical Field Experience D: Small Group Math Instruction
Educators now have a better understanding of how students learn, and through lesson implementation and reflection teachers can continue to develop their mathematical pedagogy.
Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Lesson Implementation
For this assignment, you will create a video using any video recording device. With your mentor teacher’s input, select one of the lessons you created for your benchmark assignment to teach to a small group of students.
Prior to your lesson, ask your mentor teacher or another individual to video record your instruction. In addition, if students are involved in the video of your instruction, you must receive approval from families to allow students to participate in this assignment. During your lesson, ensure you are answering questions from your students, asking questions that support critical thinking and problem-solving, and observing the understanding of each student (this might require formative assessments before, during, and after the lesson to determine if skills have been learned).
It is mandatory that the “Video Recording Instruction and Permission Form” be completed by the parent/guardian of each student prior to recording. If you do not get permission to record students, then record in a different setting to complete this assignment.
Use an online video platform such as Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. Be sure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submitting to the LMS.
Spend any remaining field experience hours observing the class and Helping the mentor teacher with instructional support.
Part 2: Lesson Plan Revision
After teaching the lesson, review your video and obtain feedback from your mentor teacher on how the lesson went.
Write a 250-500 word letter to your future self as a teacher and address the following:
What did you do well?
What could you have done differently?
Explain how you will modify your lessons to meet learning needs.
Describe how you will provide feedback to your students.
Explain how you would revise your lesson plan based on your own observation from the video, the data results received through the summative assessment activity, mentor feedback, and your teaching experience.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
