SEC520 Clinical Field Experience C STEM Lesson Plan Implementation

Part 1: Lesson Plan Implementation

For this field experience, you will deliver your STEM lesson plan created during Topic 5 to either your whole mentor classroom or to a small group of students that your mentor teacher has chosen. (SEE ATTACHED)

Remember to focus on:

Method of teaching: Project-based, inquiry-based, or engineering design based

Strategies to develop cross-disciplinary skills and encourage engagement

Alignment of standards and learning objectives

• Fostering innovation and problem solving
• Use of technology and resources
• Part 2: Reflection
• Following your lesson plan implementation, meet with your mentor teacher to discuss your lesson and receive feedback. Below is a list of questions to ask your mentor teacher. Obtain specific examples for each area:
• Mentor Feedback:

How well was the overall lesson presented?

How well did I communicate the learning objectives and expectations?

How well did I demonstrate knowledge of the content of the lesson plan?

Where did I struggle?

What can I do to improve my instruction?

What did I do well?

• Reflection on Students and Learning Objectives:
• Did students meet the learning objectives? How do you know?
• Could the objectives have been communicated more clearly?
• Professional Reflection for Future Instruction:
• What do you feel went well? What do you feel that you could still improve upon?
• How will this experience influence your future instruction?

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
