CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 2S
I will use real life examples in some of our lessons so my students can see how it does relate to real people. During open discussions I have them give me some examples of
these as well. This will allow me to know if the students do understand what I am trying to teach them.
5.2
My students are very young, and we do not use this but there is a website called Student News Daily.com. This site can be referred to this for some real-life scenarios, we
use the monthly calendar has what today is like national donut day. And this site has videos that shows how things are made to give more real-life scenarios.

I attest this submission is accurate, true, and in compliance with GCU policy guidelines, to the best of my ability to do so.
1.1
Each student is given chances to do some hands-on work for each lesson. We do have open
discussion and I have all their names each on popsicle sticks and pull one by one out to give all
an equal chance to participate in the discussion. This is the time when they can ask questions
and give opinions. Then we also do break into groups and do the workstations where they can
use manipulatives and do some role playing as well as work with their team on worksheets to
further their engagement.
1.2
I often speak with my mentor(Tara Beard) and the other second grade teacher(Mrs. Reardon).
We work on the lesson plans and come up with ideas to help the students better understand
the material and the activities to aid them in that understanding.
2.1
I do modify the assignment per the students’ abilities. For example, I do have four students who
leave the classroom at math to go to RTI for reading. Their assignment is usually modified to
just part of the assignment due to their abilities and not being present to get the group
interaction. I spend some time as a group with these students going over the assignment. And
have them demonstrate how to work the problems so I can see if they understand the material.
2.2
I have no English learners in my currant classroom. But if I did, I would do the lessons with them
in mind. For example, I would try to pair them up with a buddy that does speak both languages
and I would do my best to learn their language so that I could instruct them on the material. Or
their buddy could tell them what we are doing. I would try to have the students work on
learning English by having pictures posted on all items to help them learn the language.
2.3
For my lessons we use the google classroom, bitmoji and YouTube videos to help with
instruction and hands on. These offer some interactive abilities for the students to go to the
whiteboard and choose their answers or work out a problem.
3.1
I have a schedule that I follow each day and it is up by the white board so the students can see
what is next and be prepared. I have a clothespin that I move when we are starting on a new
subject and give them verbal ques as well. In our free time we always clean our desks and set
out our next lesson book to be prepared for our next lesson. In their free time the students do
rad and or take an ar test. They may play on Zern or Prodigy for math and or reading games.
3.2
I always try to provide a positive environment for my students with positive greeting each
morning. When I am ready to do a new assignment, I may say “All set” and the students will say
“You bet”, if they are not ready, they usually say not yet, and we do wait for all to be set. If they
are all talking out, I start to count by holding up fingers. This is the nonverbal communication
the know if I get to 10 no extra time on recess. Or if I cross my arms they know to set still and
pay attention to the lesson. I went over these at the beginning of my teaching , so they are
aware of the rules.
4.1
To help the students with prior knowledge I sometimes act like I do not understand how to do a
problem or what to do in English assignments. The enjoy showing me how these should be
done. The students helping solve problems shows me how much they already know. We also
enlist the help of KWL charts and reflective writing as well.
4.2
I strive to keep all the student’s accessibility to technology is fair and equal. We do not send
homework home, so their computer time is done at school. This will ensure that all students
have the equipment needed to do an assignment and ample time to do it in. I work to make
sure all is fair and flexible for the students to have a consistent, supportive, and safe learning
environment.
4.3
For this I teach one word at a time with explicit direction. Like for spelling we sound out each
letter in the word and put emphasis on the phonics as well. I enlist the help of sentence
fragments so the students can use prior knowledge as how these should end. We write daily in
our journals to help with mastering language. We have a word wall with sight words and power
words to help the students remember how they are spelled and used in a sentence.

I will use real life examples in some of our lessons so my students can see how it does relate to
real people. During open discussions I have them give me some examples of these as well. This

My students are very young, and we do not use this but there is a website called Student News
Daily.com. This site can be referred to this for some real-life scenarios, we use the monthly
calendar has what today is like national donut day. And this site has videos that shows how
things are made to give more real-life scenarios.
6.1
I strive to be open minded all the time with my students. I strive to teach unity to the students
with the help of YouTube, I do show videos on how people should treat each other, and we
have open discussion on these topics from time to time if an occurrence happens with students
not treating each other as they should. We do have a variety of assignments to help all students
understand our material as well.
6.2
I speak with both second grade teachers for advice on the exams for the students and how to
document their performance and progress in the grade books. I review the material and make
sure that the objectives are clearing communicated with the teachers to be on the right track
with my lessons.
6.3
I do modify the material for example, I have learned that to help the students that may be a
little diverse when taking tests, I always read the whole test to them. Some students on taking
the test on their own did very poor but when retook the test with me reading the material to
them they did so much better. We always review the material the day before the test and again
right before the test to make sure that my students understand what may be one the test.
7.1
One way to ensure the students reaches their goals is to at times with lesson provide them with
some choices. Not only does this give them ownership of their work but if they chose the
material, they are more likely to do better. I empower my students to write in their journals
daily, to be proactive in their learning and medication if needed are done as well.
7.2
I do work to provide multiple ways for my students to demonstrate knowledge through the
(think pair share ) techniques and allowing choices in some of their materials for a lesson.
7.3
The summative and formative assessments are done with quizzes, games, tests and the
activities and projects that we do daily basis. We also use exit tickets these will help me figure
out if more instruction is needed or can we move on.
8.1
I am there to offer support , to coach them, and always listen to them. Students do need to talk
and must feel like the adult they are speaking to is really listening. We do a circle time each day,
we all sit in a circle, and I will start the conversation off with a topic and pass it on to my
neighbor and they will answer and pass it off to theirs and so on. This will give me an
opportunity to see how my students are doing today and if all is ok with them by the answers
they give.
8.2
Some of my technology tools are the electronic grade book, this also allows for me and their
grownups to communicate with teach other. There are learning games such as Zern, Prodigies
and reading eggs. The tools for communication with the student’s grownup give me real time
reactions and feedback. The learning games gives me feedback on how the students in doing in
that lesson.
8.3
I use popsicle sticks to choose the student to help me with answering a question. This method
will ensure that all students get equal turns. We use open discussions daily on almost all
subjects. I like the TTQA method, where the students will turn the question around into a
statement when they answer the questions.
9.1
The school I am at does a reading assessment called the Star reading test. They use Maps
testing as well and running records. These were completed before I started here but I did get to
look over the results of the Star reading test. This shows the level the student is currently at in
reading.
9.2
As teachers we are always learning as well as our students. There is continual education for us
to grow as teachers. There are seminars and monthly staff meetings to keep everyone on the
same page.
10.1
One of the best ways to communicate in today’s world with families is through technology.
There is the google classroom that has emails, games and grades, attendance etc. There are
games for learning that the students can use and not realize they are even learning.
Communication is the key to building the relationship needed for each and every student to
excel as a student.
10.2
This is done through being an advocate for the students. It is my responsibility to make sure my
students have what is needed to ensure learning. To be a voice for them, to make their learning
not only creative but engaging where they will want to be in school to learn more.
