RDG 420 Wk 5 – Teaching Reflection
Due to current world events with the pandemic, if you can not or do not feel comfortable teaching a lesson to students face to face it is fine to teach the lesson virtually or self-reflect on a lesson you have taught students in the past or plan to teach in the future to complete this assignment. The same options are okay since it is now summer if you can’t find a summer school program to use for this assignment.
Gaining teaching experience in the field is a requirement for all elementary school teachers. It is also important for you to be able to accurately reflect on your teaching experience.
Reflect on your field experience teaching the lesson plan you created in the Wk 4 – Field Experience Lesson Plan assignment.
Write a 350-word reflection or create a 6- to 8-slide presentation summarizing your time in the classroom. Address the following questions in your reflection or presentation:
- How did having a lesson plan help you deliver your lesson? Why is it important to plan before teaching?
- How did you keep the student(s) actively engaged in the lesson?
- What was the most difficult part of teaching the lesson? How did you deal with this challenge? How might you deal with this challenge differently in the future?
- What was the most exciting and/or rewarding part of teaching the lesson?
- How would you change the lesson if you were to teach it again in the future?
- What other considerations would you make when writing a lesson plan in the future?
Document your field experience in My Time Log.
