This assignment is Part Two of our Field Experience and serves as a practical foundation to our future teaching career.\u00a0The process of using SimSchool and completing a reflection (on SIM School) was similar to our other foundation course.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed the module\u00a0Classroom Management Grade 7\u00a0(single subject)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rationale for Assignment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a teacher candidate, having a variety of field experience settings is essential.\u00a0As general education teachers or special education teachers, we will likely have students with special needs or at-risk learners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally important, we will more than likely have to teach these learners within a co-teaching setting. Additionally, IDEA states that IEP teams must consider the least restrictive environment to meet the needs of a learner. In co-teaching, there are four major models. The first model is called\u00a0supportive teaching. Another model is known as\u00a0parallel teaching. The third approach is the\u00a0complementary model,\u00a0where we demonstrate a skill to the students in a unique way.\u00a0 Finally, there is the team\u00a0teaching scenario (which we will do solo).\u00a0In this model, we plan, grade, and teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This assignment allowed us to implement several instructional and behavioral techniques we learned throughout our foundation program and assess our ability to meet the teaching performance expectations. This includes designing instruction to meet all learners and using the cyclical and collaborative process to assess and refine instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assignment Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All you had to complete was the module that applied to what we will teach in the future (Multi-subject or Single-subject).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing the module, we had to upload the SimSchool Reflection (completed in SIM School) assignment. Basically, all we needed to do for this assignment was do the module Classroom Management Grade 1\u00a0(multiple subject<\/em>) OR\u00a0Classroom Management Grade 7\u00a0(single subject<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following questions were to be answered after we finished\u00a0teaching the classes\u00a0in this module. They were available for us to read before we taught to frame our experience and then return after teaching to answer them.\u00a0We were to teach each class for a minimum of 15 minutes, create a report for each through the Observations page, and review our results.\u00a0We had to answer all questions for this module to be marked as complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What classroom management strategies did the teacher use that you observed to be very effective or ineffective in your opinion?\n
