Candidate 1. Briefly describe the instructional goals that formed the basis of your interaction with ‘your’ ELL student(s), as well as each learning activity that served as the vehicle for meeting those goals. Note whether ELL students were participating in the same learning activity as their non-ELL peers, or if they were working on an ‘adapted’ activity. My goal for the interaction with the ELL student was to help Ville to participate more with the group by having him complete the second…

will also frequently draw and colour during class when her classmates are doing the assigned tasks. When Lacy was asked why she colours and draws instead of working, she said she does not like to do the other activities because they are hard. Mr. L reports that Lacy’s preferred activities include colouring, drawing, computer time and story time. Lacy enjoys the time when stories are being read out loud; she will listen and comment on them. The off-task behaviour do not occur during this time.…

goal, and more indirectly turned it into us getting a “feeling” of each other out. At this point, we were dropped into the storming stage. We did not have a clear consensus on what specific volunteer activity we would end up participating in, even though the entire goal was to decide on a volunteer activity. To manage the conflict, we focused on our common goal and decided to postpone the decision-making to the next meeting. As unproductive as that sounds, the first meeting helped us navigate…

problem solving, and personal social. The only category he was not above the cutoff in is gross motor and he was barely below the cutoff. The cutoff score for gross motor was 31.28 and Trenton scored a 30.00. His numerical score, only counting the activities that had the answer yes , was a two out of six. While observing him, he was clumsy and a little uncoordinated. He had difficulty catching a ball and hopping on one foot. His scores for communication, problem solving, and personal social were…

Items of this Guttman chart generally follow the expected pattern as the more difficult items have less 1s and the 1s are from higher achieving students. However, there are still some expectations. Item 2.1, “Use Chinese only for unknown vocabularies”, shows a particularly irregular pattern, as some students of a lower ZPD group were able to present the required skill while some higher students didn’t. Item 6.3 and 5.3 also show irregular patterns, although not as much as item 2.1. One possible…

of prompting, cues, or questioning varied based on the student. Another equally important strategy was the use of Hands-on activities and a variety of manipulatives, possibly one of the most important components when working with this group of students. Fourteen out of the fifteen students are still struggling with some of their fine motor skills and our hands-on activities…

2016, February 23, 2016, April 6, 2016, August 11, 2016, and August 26, 2016.

He continued to explain that Sam will wash and dry his hands, and attempts to brush his teeth. I have provided Lyle with a ‘lift the lip’ pack (children’s tooth brush and paste) for Sam to promote the practice and independence in brushing teeth activities. Sam may benefit from watching ‘Tom and his toileting triumphs’ on you tube or DVD to provide insight on the toileting process. The DVD can be loaned from CDT if required. Interactive social skills: This looks at how Sam copes with separation,…

and the areas that I need to work on to improve my practice. Self-awareness. This aspect of my practice, I have managed to develop a good working relationship and communication with the children and staff. Communicating with children during activities, asking them what they are doing and giving them time to respond while encouraging them with both my body language, smiles and eye contact to make the children feel relax in talking about what they are doing. The area which I need improve on…

higher Van Hiele levels of thought. These two systems of thinking, along with the readings and class activities, have helped to structure the discussions we have had as a class and the vision I have for my future classroom. The five phases of learning, as discussed by Howse and Howse in Linking the Van Hiele Theory to Instruction, should…
