Standard 1 Meta-Reflection: Instructional Planning
Standard 1: Instructional planning: Designs and monitors long and short-term plans for students’ academic success.
I created both of these artifacts as part of the curriculum for EDU 6524: Curriculum Design. For the curriculum design project I showed that I have the knowledge and skills to bring academic subjects to life and align them to content standards.
The blogs from this course are representative of other blogs I have written and are reflective writings in which I responded to course topics, lectures, discussions, readings, etc. The blogs allowed me to interact personally with the subject matter. Personal connections and interactions with a new subject is a great way to learn. I have taken this knowledge and used it in my classroom. Students are required to interact personally with the material so that they can be more sucessful and remember the material better.
The Curriculum Project allowed me to plan ahead for a unit keeping the standards in mind. I was able to plan to monitor student learning. Students were very successful in this unit and on the unit assessment.
