assessment 3: Practice teaching
* Please note that you will have a maximum of 20 minutes to explain your lesson plan to your peers either in your Week 12 tutorial or in your video. This must include you actively teaching a section of your lesson plan (e.g., 10-15 minutes). (Completed)
AT3 requires you to teach your pedagogical encounter (after incorporating peer and tutor feedback from AT2 and considering how you will evaluate student learning) and then analyse and reflect on how your teaching can be improved. You can either 1) attend a live practice teaching session (in week 12) where you will be placed in groups of 3-4 peers OR 2) create a video or audio file of you teaching your pedagogical encounter to others (e.g., friends, family, etc.) which will be shared with two other peers to analyse. Your submission to LMS will be in one document (word or pdf) and includes the following three parts:
1. Reflecting on original pedagogical encounter (before practice teaching session): Before teaching your lesson, identify changes you would make to your pedagogical encounter based on tutor and peer feedback to improve and/or refine your original lesson. This reflection will a) identify specific changes or additions to be made (e.g., timing or sequencing, use of different teaching strategies, resources, ways to better engage or scaffold learning, etc.) and b) provide a justification of why these changes and additions should be made with links to the concepts and theories in your readings. (approx. 500 words)
2. Evaluating learning (before practice teaching session): Explain and justify (using concepts and theories in the readings) how you will evaluate student learning in this lesson or future lessons by explaining a) how and when you will assess student learning with reference to specific assessment techniques and 2) what feedback strategies you will use. (approx. 500 words)
3. Analysing and reflecting on teaching episodes (after teaching session): Identify what you and two other peers did well (use a table) by reflecting on the different strategies (e.g., HITS, feedback), UDL principles and resources (digital, print, manipulatives, peer support) used. Then reflect on your own teaching episode by identifying what went well and what could be improved now that you have watched others teach. Justify your analysis and reflection with support from concepts and theories in the readings. (approx. 500 words)
