Assessment Description
Teachers are cognizant of how students grow and develop. They recognize that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas. Therefore, teachers need to be able to design and implement developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences that are flexible to address these differences. Teachers regularly assess individual and group performance to design and adjust instruction to meet students’ needs in each area of development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical) and scaffold instruction of their next level of development.
Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Small Group Literacy Skills Lesson Plan
With a certified special education teacher in an early childhood elementary (Grades K-3) inclusive setting, identify a small group of students who would benefit from a lesson plan reinforcing a literacy skill previously taught to them. Use the prompts below to help guide a discussion with the mentor teacher about each student’s development.
What criteria does the mentor teacher use to assess the students’ literacy skill development and abilities?
How does the mentor teacher assess individual and group progress?
How does the mentor teacher modify instruction to meet student needs?
What are examples of developmentally-appropriate learning experiences the mentor teacher has used to develop students’ literacy skills?
Collaborate with the mentor teacher to design a complete standard- based lesson that meets the needs of the identified students, using the “COE Lesson Plan Template.” (Note: The literacy skills lesson will be implemented as part of “Clinical Field Experience B.”)
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Part 2: Rationale
250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your discussion with your mentor teacher, as well as your observations of and participation in the classroom. Discuss the small group literacy skills lesson plan you and your mentor developed, as well as the needs of the students for whom you designed the lesson. Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Numbers and Counting Lesson Plan
Lesson Summary and Focus:
The emphasis of this lesson is for students to learn to count the letters in their names and those of their peers using unifix cubes and sticky notes. We will compare and contrast, organize names in various ways, and create a graph of names resulting from this activity.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
The students will learn in the same class in the first session. The class will be divided into five students in each group in the second session.
National/State Learning Standards:
1. Recognize several letters, especially those in one's name.
2. Apply concepts such as recognizing numbers, counting, and one-to-one correspondence.
3. Count with comprehension and identify "how many" in collections of objects.
4. Demonstrate an awareness of and proficiency with comparison terminology.
5. Use actual items, drawings, and graphs to represent data.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
The learning goals for the lesson are:
* Determining the student’s concentration when divided into smaller groups
* Students will: 1. count one-to-one to ascertain the cardinality of a group of 15-20 in a row.
* 2. compare sets using comparative terms such as tall, taller, and tallest.
* 3. Compile and visualize data using a straightforward graph.
Academic Language
Examples of the general teaching vocabulary and terminologies that will be taught include:
* Counters
* Graphs
* Pointers
* Cards
* Stick notes
* Comparative
* Towers
As a teacher, I will teach these terms by first providing a simple definition of the vocabulary. Afterward, I will demonstrate how the new term is used in a sentence.
Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:
The lesson resources include:
* A copy of Tikki Tikki Tembo book
* A set of unifix cubes
* A set of name cards
* A set of T x 3" sticky notes
