Assessment: Student Prompts/Teacher Directions
Effective Pedagogy: Best Practices (Benchmark Assessment)
1) Part I: Curriculum Unit Plan
a) Identify, analyze, and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies the mentors used to support classroom learning. Reference strategies from research and coursework (explanation, interpretation, application, perspective, empathy, self-knowledge).
b) Design a complete instructional unit, comprised of 10 lesson plans, in your subject area. Decide on an effective lesson plan format; design the essential elements of the lesson to be taught, including key objectives, rationale, activities, and materials; design appropriate assessments; and complete rubrics to both grade the lesson plan format and given assessments. Present and defend the unit to a mentor teacher. Seek guidance on how to improve it.
c) Revise the unit using the input of a mentor teacher. Using the revised unit, teach three of the unit’s lessons to a group of students (use a practicum class or teach one student in a tutoring environment).
2) Part II: Reflective Essay
a) Throughout the practicum, you have observed your mentors (three in all). For this reflective essay, analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies your mentors used to support classroom learning. Reference strategies from research utilized for this assignment.
b) Compare and contrast:
i) How the teacher’s strategies coordinated with research findings.
ii) How the classroom teacher implemented these strategies.
iii) How you may facilitate the same strategies in your future classroom.
c) Select four best practices from your coursework and research. After critiquing each for guidance, create and teach your own lesson (use your practicum class or teach one student in a tutoring environment).
d) Construct a 1,500-1,750 word essay reflecting on and evaluating the classroom teacher’s use of a best-practice strategy in a lesson that you observe. Then, reflect on and self-evaluate your own use of a similar strategy when teaching students. Be sure to answer the following questions regarding both situations.
i) Did the implementation of the strategy unfold smoothly and effectively? Why or why not?
ii) Evaluate what element of the strategy was most effective to student learning.
iii) Evaluate what aspect of the strategy was difficult to facilitate. Did it negatively impact the overall success of the lesson? How?
iv) How did you evaluate the level of student engagement during the strategy?
v) How would you suggest the strategy be modified to make the lesson more effective?
vi) Defend your use of, or your rejection of, this strategy in the future.
e) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the GCU APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
f) Have your classroom teacher complete the Classroom Teacher Evaluation Form and return it to your instructor.
g) Submit the benchmark assessment to your instructor by the end of Module 8.
