Teacher candidates can create effective instruction and meaningful assessments for all students based on required subject matter knowledge, state content standards, curriculum goals, and use of technology.
Artifact #1- Unit Plan on Story Elements
During my student teaching in Fall of 2010 I taught a unit on story elements. The creation of this unit included making lessons that implemented effective instruction techniques and meaningful assessments. I relied heavily on the Utah State Core Curriculum to establish the learning objectives for the unit as well as in the individual lesson plans.
Artifact #2- Lesson Plan on Editing
I created this lesson plan on editing rough drafts while student teaching in the Fall of 2010. This lesson plan implements all the components of SIOP. My SIOP accommodations show that I can create effective instruction for all of my students. The objectives for this lesson comply with what is found in the Utah State Core Curriculum. This lesson shows my ability to create an excellent lesson and use meaningful assessments while teaching the required subject matter knowledge.
