Lesson Plan
What I have learned
I have included my first lesson plan which demonstrates that I am continuing to learn and understand the importance of continued education in lesson planning, instruction, assessment, evaluation and reporting. Moreover, every summer I direct a summer music camp for primary children which involves lesson planning for a two week period. As an educator, I am committed to always improving my craft and being a life long learner.
Evidence # 2
Renaissance Criteria
What I have learned
As a new teacher I have found one of the most difficult concepts our cohort dealt with was assessment; albeit, assessment is probably one of the most important pieces to planning. We had a wonderful course this last semester that tackled many of the concerns we had about assessment. During this last practicum, I had to plan an extension project for my grade 8 Humanities class on the Renaissance. This artifact is a Rubric that I created for this project. I also had the opportunity to input many of my band student’s marks into BCESIS.
