Description
Allocate at least 4 hours to complete this field experience.
Assist your mentor teacher with teaching a minimum of two social
studies lessons being taught in a 1-8 setting. Take note of the use or
non-use of a social studies text within your experience, as well as how
the mentor teacher differentiates the instruction. After the teaching
experience, speak with your mentor teacher about how he or she
differentiates instruction to address the learning needs of the students
in a class.
In addition, after your teaching experience, review the social
studies textbook and other materials and resources that were used to
teach the lessons. (If the class does not use a textbook, then focus
only on the materials and resources that were used.) Analyze the text,
materials, and resources to determine if opportunities or supports are
provided for teachers to address cultural relevance and differentiated
learning, or if teachers are expected to develop these on their own.
Write a 250-500 word reflection that summarizes your teaching
experience, the discussion with your mentor teacher, and your analysis
of the textbook and materials. Specifically address where you observed,
or saw a need for:
- Differentiated instruction and instructional materials for individual students with particular learning differences or needs.
- Incorporation of students’ experiences, cultures, and community resources into social studies instruction.
In addition, be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. Free of plagiarism.
