Reflections
The first artifact that supports Standard Eight Collaborative Relationships is a lesson plan that I collaboratively created with two peers in my Curriculum and Instruction class, to present to that same class. This lesson plan was chosen because it represents my ability to work together with colleagues in order to best reach out to the students. In order to create this lesson plan, my colleagues and I had to discuss and share ideas, and make decisions to include aspects that would benefit the students, and encourage their learning. During this process, I developed my cognitive and social skills, as I had to increase my knowledge of the story that we chose to analyze, and be receptive to ideas that my peers suggested. The lesson plan represents these aspects of standard eight, and also demonstrates my work as a team member with students in the class. During the lesson, we as teachers went from group to group in order to check for student comprehension and to encourage their development of ideas. This lesson plan represents how I have grown as a teacher, as I have incorporated information learned from a combination of my teacher preparation classes and my experiences in the classroom with field observations. I have developed knowledge relating to capturing students attention, through group work and new and unknown story choices to analyze.
