engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
Name of Artifact: Service Learning Reflection
Date: December 2016
Course: EDUC 230: The Exceptional Child
Brief Description:
I went to Isom Elementary School and observed a mild- intervention class
where students of all grade levels would come to get extra help in reading,
writing, and mathematics. I came to understand that A special classroom also
means students with low academic achievement and intellectual abilities in one
or more of the areas of oral expression, listening comprehension, written
expression, basic reading skills, mathematic calculations or spelling.
Rationale:
To document my understanding of Instructional Strategies, I have selected
to include my Service Learning Reflection. The teacher is committed to
supporting learners as they participate in decision making, engage in exploration
and invention, work collaboratively and independently, and engage in purposeful
learning. The teacher intentionally builds learner capacity to collaborate in faceto-face and virtual environments through applying effective interpersonal
communication skills.
