Observe and assist with teaching two lessons, one science and one health/PE/nutrition (an integrated health and science lesson may count for either requirement), led by certified K-8 grade teachers. If possible, observe more than one classroom/teacher. During your observation, pay specific attention to the following:
Technology used by the teacher to enhance instruction
Technology used by students to enhance engagement and learning
Questioning strategies utilized during instruction and/or as formative assessment
With the mentor’s permission, prepare and implement three effective student questions for each observed lesson. The questions may be designed for the whole class, small group, or one-on-one to support the observed lesson objectives. The questions should stimulate students’ prior knowledge and encourage exploration and problem-solving within the content areas.
In 250-500 words, reflect on the lessons you observed, the questions you developed and implemented, and your additional experiences in the classes, describing the following:
Technology used to enhance instruction of science/health content. If technology was not used, discuss how it could be integrated into the lesson/s you observed .
Questioning strategies used to enhance learning of science/health content . If not implemented, discuss where and how they would have been effective.
How the questions you developed stimulated students’ prior knowledge and encouraged exploration and problem-solving
How you plan to apply what you learned to your future professional practice.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
