EDCI 498E: Supervised Teaching of Agricultural Education - 12 credits
Each student will complete 12 weeks of student teaching and develop a Student Teaching Portfolio (Teaching Experience) with your final grade determined by the university supervisor in consultation with the cooperating teacher.
Decisions regarding use of +/- grades will be made and communicated at a later time.
Requirements for a grade of "A":
A. Turn in time card and receive positive evaluations from both university supervisor and cooperating teacher(s) throughout the experience.
B. Demonstrate classroom competency by being in charge of the class, appropriately handling discipline, using class time wisely, and teaching educationally-sound lessons. You are encouraged to experiment with different teaching methodologies. You are required to teach at least one S.A.I. (Student Assisted Instruction) lesson and at least one Problem-Solving lesson during weeks 6-12 of student teaching. Growth is evident over the 12 weeks. Communication with others is professional and positive. On the day they come to observe you, provide your university supervisor with copies of your lesson plans for that day.
C. Complete the Student Teaching Portfolio with 90% or higher including daily neatly written/typed lesson plans. There is no set format required for lesson plans, but they must include these sections: Unit/Lesson Title Block, Student Learning Objectives and state learning standards met by lesson, Motivation, Teaching-Learning Procedures, Content Outline, Quizzes/Exams/Other Evaluations, List of References/Resources, and handout/PowerPoint/overhead masters. Lessons should include appropriate use of myCAERT evaluations and E-Moments. Example formats are on the YDAE website under “Academics” “Course Packets” It is suggested that you use a separate 3-ring binder for your lesson plans for each class.
Requirements for a grade of "B":
A. Turn in time card and receive positive evaluations from both university supervisor and cooperating teacher(s) throughout the experience.
B. Demonstrate classroom competency in the areas listed for an “A”. Weakness is consistently evident in an area and/or a variety of teaching methodologies were not used and/or growth may not be evident over the 12 weeks.
C. Complete the Student Teaching Portfolio including daily neatly written/typed lesson plans. The assignments need not be as complete, neat, or as carefully done as those that qualify for an "A." Portfolio grade is 80-89.9%.
Requirements for a grade of "C":
A. Turn in time card. Evaluations will be positive in general but will document areas in which improvement is needed.
B. Demonstrate classroom competency in the areas listed; however, one or more of the listed areas is lacking.
C. Complete the Student Teaching Portfolio including neatly written/typed lesson plans. Portfolio grade is 70% or higher. This is the lowest grade you can receive and still obtain licensure.
Requirements for a grade of "D":
1. Complete item A from above, but evaluations will not be positive. Classroom competency in several areas is lacking. Item C is incomplete.
If you do not complete your student teaching experience, you will receive an "F."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
EMERGENCY STATEMENT
In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. Ways to get information about changes in this course are: YDAE main office 765-494-8422, my email address btalbert@purdue.edu, and the course Blackboard Vista site at
ADAPTIVE PROGRAMS STATEMENT
Before the provision of classroom accommodations, students with disabilities must be registered with Adaptive Programs in the Office of the Dean of Students. Any student that is in need of special accommodations due to a disability should contact the Office of the Dean of Students, Adaptive Programs at (765) 494-1247. If you are eligible for academic accommodations because you have a documented disability that will impact your work in this class, please schedule an appointment with me as soon as possible to discuss your needs.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY STATEMENT
Purdue prohibits "dishonesty in connection with any University activity. Cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the University are examples of dishonesty." [Part 5, Section III-B-2-a, University Regulations] Furthermore, the University Senate has stipulated that "the commitment of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in any of their diverse forms (such as the use of substitutes for taking examinations, the use of illegal cribs, plagiarism, and copying during examinations) is dishonest and must not be tolerated. Moreover, knowingly to aid and abet, directly or indirectly, other parties in committing dishonest acts is in itself dishonest." [University Senate Document 72-18, December 15, 1972]
The first impression you make is important! Be genuinely courteous, cooperative, and sincere in your dealings with students, cooperating teachers, administrators, other faculty members, school employees, parents, and residents of the community. The ability to work well with other people and to maintain desirable working relationships is one that every teacher should cultivate and of which every beginning teacher should be especially aware. In the words of Dale Carnegie, from his book How to Win Friends and Influence People, there are "six ways to make people like you."
Rule 1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
Rule 2. Smile.
Rule 3. Remember that a person's name is the sweetest and most important sound in any
language.
Rule 4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
Rule 5. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Rule 6. Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely.
Student teaching is your opportunity to learn. Observe carefully not only what is done, but how. Be discreet at all times in talking to friends and outsiders about what transpires in the department and the school.
You should realize that the coming and going of student teachers causes some discontinuity in the regular school program. Even then, you are added personnel in the school and as such, you should have additional ideas to present for consideration that can be of value to the educational program. Endeavor to make some permanent tangible contributions to the department during your stay. Leave the department better than when you started your student teaching experience.
ADMINISTRATIVE RELATIONSHIP
1. Contact your cooperating teacher before your assignment begins. Confer with him/her on the procedure for reporting to the school. He/she may want to introduce you to the principal and superintendent. Otherwise, check into the office of the superintendent or principal upon arrival.
2. The local school administrators will expect you to become one of the teaching staff. You must be willing to accept obligations in terms of the total program. However, you are not there to do "odd jobs" that are not expected of other teachers.
3. Always remember the well-defined but invisible channels. Think no more of bypassing your cooperating teacher than you would of going directly to the school board without first going through your administrator. The cooperating teacher is your immediate supervisor.
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL PROCEDURES
1. Few of us will find a situation as perfect as we desire; therefore, use discretion in everything you do. Walk several miles in their moccasins!
2. Do not become involved socially with your students.
3. Never criticize one student to another, nor should you criticize your class, cooperating teacher, administrator, or your school to others.
4. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance from your cooperating teacher. If you do not know how to do something, say so and ask for help.
5. Suggest new ideas, but use tact.
6. Do not wait to be told what to do. Use initiative, but keep your cooperating teacher informed.
7. Personal appearance is important. Be neat and clean. Dress for whatever the occasion requires. Your attire should conform to community norms and professional standards for teachers; not college norms.
8. Demonstrate your willingness to work.
9. Learn all you can. Get all the experience possible.
10. Take criticism in the spirit in which it is offered. Suggestions will be offered for your professional improvement. Invite suggestions and profit by them.
11. Make no excuses. Do the job!
CLASSROOM, LABORATORY, AND FIELD WORK
1. First contacts are important. Your cooperating teacher will introduce you to each class. Be friendly and sincere, but reserved.
2. Learn the name of each student and as much about him or her as possible.
3. Prepare teaching plans carefully so they can be checked over by the cooperating teacher far enough in advance, so you can make any recommended change. No 11th hour preparation. This also applies to teaching aides, field trips, etc.
4. Endeavor to improve handwriting, board work, use of English, and spelling.
5. Do not talk down to students, nor go above their heads. Consider their age and experience. Check often to see that the whole class is following you. Study and learn from your cooperating teacher.
6. Maintain an orderly, business-like classroom atmosphere. Maintain proper control of your classes. Secure student cooperation, but do not try to do this by being "too easy" or overly friendly.
7. Laboratory teaching requires as much pre-planning as does classroom teaching.
8. Thoroughly plan field trips - what you want them to observe - and state objectives. Use observation guides. Evaluate the field trip later in class.
9. Be prompt in meeting all classes and appointments.
10. Demonstrate a professional attitude in all your contacts in the school and community.
11. Read Student Teaching Handbook, Purdue University (available at the Office of Field Experiences website: ).
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. You are expected to devote your entire time to the work of the agricultural education department during your student teaching period. Do not short yourself by being too involved in other matters.
2. Keep the desired records/reports, and submit them on time.
3. Whenever you leave school, or are absent for any reason, be sure to contact the cooperating teacher and your university supervisor, and when necessary, the school administration.
4. Return all items that you are using to their proper place.
5. Do not "pilfer" department files and take some of everything. Allow your cooperating teacher to share information with you.
6. Do everything to the best of your ability.
7. Do not feel hurt if your cooperating teacher does not have time to visit with you at times. Make a definite appointment.
8. How well you do your work and the manner in which you conduct yourself will grant a continuance of the privilege to place student teachers at this center.
9. Make arrangements for room and board in advance of arrival at the training center.
GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT TEACHING
TIME PERIOD: 12 weeks required
The student teacher is expected to attend all faculty meetings, FFA meetings, and FFA activities of your cooperating teacher. If possible, attend FFA activities of other agriculture teachers at your school and adult classes or young farmer classes.
Week 1: Visit school principal.
Make plans for SAE student visitations.
Two days of observation, touring facilities. Continue development of
lesson plans. Complete development of first lesson plans---OVERPLAN.
Third day - begin teaching one class with cooperating teacher observing,
observe other teachers in the system.
Fourth day - SAE visit to student with cooperating teacher. Make plans to visit
two other agricultural science and business programs.
Week 2: First day - begin teaching a second class, visit a student on your own, and
complete record of visit.
Fourth day - cooperating teacher present about half of the time.
Week 3: First day - begin teaching a third class, visit a student on your own, and
complete record of visit.
Fourth day - important for the cooperating teacher to be where he/she knows
what is happening in the classroom, but to let the student teacher
handle it. Provide suggestions after class.
Weeks 4-11: Teach the full load of classes for at least six weeks, preferably for eight weeks.
Weeks 11-12: Finish student teaching portfolio assignments, arrange portfolio, upload assignments to TaskStream.
Weeks 12: First day - Begin dropping classes.
Fourth day - no class, visit principal, counselor, and other administrative staff.
Fifth day - return to Purdue - Student Teaching Evaluation.
The above are recommended guidelines. The specific activities of each individual student teacher may vary according to his or her preparedness and the needs of the local program.
Monthly Calendar, Unit Outline, Class Schedule, Discipline Plan, and Grading Plan
The following five exercises are provided to you as an aid in planning your overall student teaching experience.
I. Monthly Calendar of Events Due:
Develop a calendar with all the important school activities, FFA activities at the local, district, and state levels, important instructional events (trips, resource persons, etc.). Be sure to include workshops, teacher's meetings, etc. Your cooperating teacher and/or school may already have this.
II. Unit Outline Plans Due:
A comprehensive teaching calendar will allow you to focus on the unit at hand while preparing for upcoming daily lessons. By establishing both beginning and ending dates for instructional units, lessons will move faster and you will be less likely to get bogged down. Some school districts require you to plan your units ahead using a form similar to the one provided for you in this notebook. (See example of Unit Outline Plan provided.) Blank Unit Outline Plan forms are provided. Please prepare unit outlines for the classes you will be teaching during your student teaching experience.
III. Prepare Your Class Schedule Due:
The class schedule gives you and your university supervisor important information. Complete the information block at the top. Write the class names in the left-most column in the order they are taught DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. After each class name, write the order that you will begin teaching that class such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. Next, write in the beginning and ending times for each class. Make sure to include in the times when your lunch break begins and ends. Days of the week are included in the table for weekly activity days, block schedules, etc. For example, your school may have an alternate schedule every Wednesday so you would write the alternative schedule under Wednesday. For Block Schedules, you may use the days of the week columns to write the schedule for “Red/Blue” days or you may have to use multiple sheets to show your Block Schedule.
Your university supervisor may or may not have been to your school before and even if they have been before, roads may have changed or detours may need to be taken. Please draw a map (or use MapQuest or another web-based mapping system) from Purdue University to your school on the back of the paper and put the driving time (driving the speed limit).
IV. Discipline Plan Due:
In YDAE 440 you discussed discipline and classroom management as well as experienced discipline situations in your peer teaching. Chapter 14 of Talbert et al. (2007) is also a reference on classroom management. In consultation with your cooperating teacher, prepare a discipline/classroom management plan for each of your classes (no specific format is required).
V. Grading Plan Due:
In previous courses you discussed evaluating student learning and grading student assignments. Chapter 19 of Talbert et al. (2007) is also a reference on evaluating learning. In consultation with your cooperating teacher, prepare a grading plan for each of your classes (no specific format is required).

_________________ hours and minutes
Your Weekly Calendar and Lesson Plan Requirements
I. Weekly Calendar Due:
Every worker who performs non-routine tasks must have some sort of scheduling plan to avoid wasted time and unnecessary conflicts. These weekly calendar pages provide you with that management tool. Some teachers can fill out a calendar for an entire semester, while others go from day to day with no plan and seem to survive. You may find, in the years to come, that you operate in either style; but for the purpose of student teaching, you are to stay at least a week ahead in your planning. Your Unit Outline is the broad overview of objectives to accomplish, individual lesson plans are your tools for teaching the content, and weekly calendars are your planners for mapping out when and where instruction will occur.
Write the Weekly Calendar information in pencil, so that after the week is completed you can write in what actually happened. Our school may provide you with a teaching calendar book, which you may use instead of the following pages, but make sure to include all required information. For example, entries for Fundamentals class for two weeks might be:
Monday: Intro to plant asexual reproduction, demo of types of cuttings
Tuesday: Notes on cuttings, Lab on leaf and stem cuttings
Wednesday: Lab on tissue culture using African Violet leaf
Thursday: Intro to plant sexual reproduction, Video on pollination
Friday: List of plants using asexual or sexual reproduction, Crossword puzzle
Monday: Notes on germination of monocot, Germination Lab (corn seed)
Tuesday: Notes on germination of dicot, Germination Lab (bean seed)
Wednesday: Jeopardy review game
Thursday: Quiz on sexual/asexual reproduction, Intro Factors Affecting Plant Growth
Friday: Limiting Factors Lab
II. Lesson Plan Requirements Due:
Lesson plans are a mark of a professional teacher. You are required to have and use daily neatly written/typed lesson plans. These can be unit lesson plans, “Cadillac” plans, daily plans, or other format that best meets your teaching style and students’ needs. Whatever format you use, it must include these sections: Unit/Lesson Title Block, Student Learning Objectives and State-Learning Standards Met, Motivation, Teaching Procedures, Content Outline, Evaluation Plan including copy of test and answer key, List of References/ Resources, and handout/overhead masters. Include CSAT evaluations and E-Moments as appropriate. Example formats are on the YDAE website under “Academics” “Course Packets”
An effective teacher is typically an efficient teacher. You are encouraged to use all lesson planning resources available to you. However, plagiarism is NOT tolerated at Purdue University, so you must properly cite all lesson plans that you did not develop. It is best to cite commercially developed lesson plans at the bottom of each page of the plan. Examples:
“Indiana Agriscience Lesson Plan Library, Unit A, Problem Area 1, Lesson 1, ( 2003, CAERT”
“Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum, Course 02.421, Unit 2, Lesson 2, Revised 1999”
“Lesson Plan Originally Developed by Jane Smith in YDAE 440/EDCI 498E, 2006”
Student teachers who wisely use their time during the first four weeks of the semester tend to be less stressed during their 12-week teaching experience. You should contact your cooperating teacher on a regular basis and take advantage of resources from your student teaching site and Purdue University TRC.

OBSERVATIONS OF PRACTICING TEACHERS
Every teacher has an individual approach to the classroom, and all experienced teachers can provide you with useful insight into the learning process. The techniques used by academic teachers and career/technical education teachers may sometimes differ markedly; nevertheless, there are benefits for you to gain from observing any experienced teacher. This assignment requires that you formally observe at least three different teachers: your cooperating teacher, a career/technical education teacher from any service area other than agricultural science and business, and a teacher of one of the basic academic disciplines.
These observations should be completed by the end of the first three weeks of student teaching.

SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE VISITS BY THE STUDENT TEACHER
Supervised Agricultural experience (S.A.E.) visits by the student teacher play a very important role in community relations and in classroom teaching. This experience should begin the first week of teaching. The student teacher should make a visit accompanied by his/her cooperating teacher the third or fourth day of his/her teaching experience. In addition, you should conduct at least five such visits alone. Record your S.A.E. activities in the log. The following are points that should be considered before and during an S.A.E. visit.
Things to be done before an S.A.E. visit.
1. Discuss the teacher’s and school’s philosophy about SAE.
2. Determine how the cooperating teacher evaluates students’ SAE programs and student progress in the SAE. How does the cooperating teacher grade SAE programs?
3. Prepare the necessary record sheets or visitations forms before visit.
4. Plan in advance a time when involved parties are available. (e.g. parents, student, employer, science teacher, others)
5. Discuss with the cooperating teacher the personal background of the student being visited. Know, as well as possible, the home or work situation.
6. Be properly dressed for the visit.
Things to be done during an S.A.E. visit:
1. Observe major production enterprises and/or placement operations connected with the training station. For exploratory and/or experimental SAE observe the environment, facilities, etc. in order to describe the situation and best assist the student.
2. Observe the environment in which the student lives and/or works. This often is helpful to an instructor in providing effective supervision.
3. Meet each student's parents or employer and become acquainted with them.
4. Identify the interests of those parties concerned with the experience program and seek their cooperation in making it effective.
5. Discuss with the student, his/her parents, his/her employer and others (if applicable) the experiences and/or projects which might be included in the student's supervised agricultural experience program.
6. Check the student's S.A.E. records for completeness and accuracy.
7. Check to determine if the student's supervised agricultural experience program plans are being followed. Assist the student in making any necessary changes.
8. Determine the practices used by the student in carrying out his/her program and determine the approved practices needed.
9. Use the S.A.E. training center, including both farm and non-farm, as a teaching laboratory by discussing with the student any problem he/she has in connection with his/her program, by testing the student's understanding of the practices he/she is using, and by developing the abilities of the student in the performance of skills that he/she has not learned satisfactorily.
10. Discuss with the student additional approved practices and experiences which he/she may attempt.
11. Motivate and encourage students to carry on successful experience programs and offer guidance to incorporate practices not already implemented.
12. Discuss with the student, parents, employer, and/or others the possibilities of expanding the student's supervised agricultural experience program during the succeeding years.
13. Assist the student in evaluating his/her progress to date.
14. Counsel with the student and his/her family regarding the student's all-round development and plans for the future, including his/her role in FFA.
15. Don't be afraid to pitch in and help on a visit if the need arises.
16. Do not make the visit too long. Stay long enough to get the job done, but do not be abrupt.
Things to be done after an S.A.E. visit:
1. Record events that occurred during the visit. Note methods that worked for you and those that did not. Note any changes you should make going on another visit.
2. Discuss the visit with your cooperating teacher. Be sure to keep him/her informed of the events occurring. Seek his/her professional opinions and advice.
3. Plan for any necessary follow-up visits.

Constructing a Bulletin Board
Bulletin boards are located in virtually all public school classrooms. They serve as visual teaching tools, places to look up important information and event dates, tools to add color to the classroom, motivational tools, and other purposes. A well-done bulletin board enhances the learning experience, while a poorly done bulletin board can be a visible sign of other problems.
You are required to construct a bulletin board for your student teaching experience. The bulletin board should be located close to the agricultural science and business classroom or perhaps in the room itself. If bulletin boards do not exist in the school, then perhaps you could use a blank wall. Be imaginative!
In addition, you are encouraged to construct a recruitment bulletin board for future Purdue University agricultural education students. The high school agricultural science and business programs are an excellent source of students for the university agricultural education program. To make these high school students more aware of opportunities available in teaching agriculture, we want you to construct a bulletin board about agricultural education.
Topics you might consider could be "Careers in Agricultural Education," "Is Agricultural Education for You?," "Benefits of a Degree in Ag. Ed.," "Who is an Agricultural Educator?," "Agricultural Education Prepares for Many Careers," or "Areas of Teaching in Agriculture." You may want to combine some of these topics or develop your own.
Be sure what you do is professional and your bulletin board is eye-catching and appealing. Your university supervisor will want to see what you have created during one of his/her visits.
In the space provided below describe the bulletin board you created, and if possible, take a picture of your bulletin board and paste it in the space below.

Service Learning: Developing a Teaching Aid
An activity that can assist you and your cooperating teacher is the development of a teaching aid. Intelligent use of teaching aids will save a teacher time and stimulate student interest. Teaching aids can increase retention of information and explain concepts. According to Phipps and Osborne (1988), teacher-prepared aids have the following advantages:
1. They are designed to do specific jobs.
2. They are useable with facilities available.
3. They belong to the teacher or the school, once they are prepared.
4. They are understood by the teacher (p. 212).
During your student teaching experience, you will be required to develop a teaching aid. There is no best type of teaching aid, but it is important to develop an aid that can assist the local instructor and you in teaching a particular principle or concept. The teaching aid you develop is a student teaching assignment and will be left behind for your cooperating teacher to utilize. Following are examples of possible teaching aids:
1. Video on how to calibrate a sprayer
2. Laminated Tree Leaf collection
3. An electrical wiring board
4. Laminated Weed specimen collection
5. Video on conducting a nitrate test on a water sample
6. A collection of nails that is fixed to a piece of plywood and labeled.
7. A device to assist in assigning grades
8. An AgEd Department Website
9. A multimedia project on Landscaping
10. A hydroponics or aquaponics system
11. Futures market game with PowerPoint presentation
The above list illustrates the variety of teaching aids that you could develop. You should ask your cooperating teacher for their input regarding the selection and development of a quality teaching aid. The local program should supply the materials needed for this activity since the aid will be left with the local program.
There is general agreement among educators that people have short-term retention of about 20 percent of what they hear; 40 percent of what they see and hear; and 75 percent of what they hear, see, and do. By employing a teaching aid, you can improve the comprehension and retention level of students.
You are doing this as a service learning project. You are providing a service to your student teaching site and learning how to develop teaching aids yourself. Make sure to take pictures during the various stages of construction of your teaching aid. Be sure to bring your teaching aid to the last student teaching seminar to share with your peers. If your teaching aid is too large, please bring the pictures to share with your peers. Place a service learning report in your portfolio. The report should include:
1. Description and picture of the aid
2. Description of the process you went through to select the project you did
3. Reflection on impact of the teaching aid, things to improve, etc.
4. Reflection on how developing a teaching aid will impact you as a future teacher

JOURNAL OF EXPERIENCES
Teachers who regularly reflect on their practice tend to be more positive in their teaching and more responsive to needed changes. A journal of experiences provides both a means of reflection as you progress through student teaching and documentation of your goals, growth, and frustrations during this experience. You are required to maintain a reflective journal and at a minimum make weekly entries for both positive and problem experiences.
The style of this journal is up to your individuality. We would hope that your reflections take at least a paragraph or so to record. You may choose to keep your journal private, but provide in your portfolio a summary page or pages of the one most significant positive and problem for each week.

Impact on Student Learning Assignment
Effective teaching should produce a change in student knowledge, motor skill performance, or attitudes/value for agricultural science and business. In this assignment, you will show that you are an effective teacher by providing documentation of your impact on student learning.
Step One: Decide on a lesson to deliver to your students. Chose one that you created yourself. Develop behavioral objectives in the psychomotor, cognitive, and/or affective domains for your students to achieve. Identify the most closely associated Indiana Standards.
Step Two: Develop a formal assessment to assess the objectives from Step One. It is required that you use CSATracker.
Step Three: Use myCAERT to assess your students at the beginning of the lesson. You only need to assess one class of students. Record the results of your pretest.
Step Four: Based on the results of your pretest, decide on which objectives to focus on in your lesson. Describe the teaching methods you will implement to help your students learn the identified outcomes. Also, describe ways of adjusting overall instruction for individual students who (based on the results of the assessment) need less or more complex tasks. NOTE: if all or most of your students already do well on your assessment, you will not be able to show that YOU have an impact on student learning. So you need to choose another lesson to teach.
Step Five: Teach the lesson, which may require more than one class period.
Step Six: Use your myCAERT quiz/test again to see if your students learned what you wanted them to learn. Again, record the results of your posttest.
Step Seven: Describe, in a paragraph, how your teaching impacted, or didn’t impact, student learning. Discuss which teaching methods seemed most effective. If you didn’t impact student learning, describe why you think it didn’t. What would you do differently if you could do it again?
Step Eight: Based on the results of your posttest, if there were still any deficiencies in student learning, what other tasks/strategies could you employ if you could re-teach this lesson?
Submit to Task Stream a document that includes the following.
1. Lesson Plan
2. Pretest
3. Results of the pretest
4. Paragraph on ways the lesson plan was adjusted for individual students
5. Results of posttest
6. Paragraph explaining your teaching impact
7. Paragraph on how you would re-teach the lesson based upon the results of the pretest/posttest.
FEEDBACK FOR THE STUDENT TEACHER
Feedback from your cooperating teacher and university supervisor is critical to your professional development for a number of reasons. You need to know where your strengths and weaknesses are before you can take steps to improve your teaching. You deserve to know how you are progressing. Be sure your cooperating teacher observes your classes and provides you with daily/weekly feedback so you can follow your own progress. Your university supervisor should fill out an assessment form each time he/she visits your class.
Learning is a life-long process. As long as you are receptive to new information, you can continue to grow and improve your effectiveness as a person and teacher.
Just as plants cannot grow without nutrients, you cannot improve as a teacher without receiving information and feedback from others. Feedback is a circular process. The information you obtain about your teaching effectiveness gives you new ideas, new directions, and approaches to explore in the classroom and laboratory. Your growth as a teacher, in turn, enhances student learning and improves the feedback you receive.
Agricultural research has revealed that certain nutrients are essential for proper plant growth. Likewise, educational research has revealed that certain teaching behaviors are needed for student growth (acquisition of knowledge and skills). Teachers who can perform these teaching behaviors are generally considered to be effective teachers. The items included in the following feedback instruments are those identified by research as being characteristics of effective teachers.
