Assessment Description
Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to complete this field experience.

Part 1: Mini-Lesson Plan

Use the data received from the “Clinical Field Experience B” pre-assessment to complete the “ELA Mini-Lesson Plan” template. Be sure to incorporate the chosen book identified with your mentor teacher to create ELA activities in your mini lesson plan. This mini-lesson plan will be administered to the selected group of students to support instruction to meet the selected standards.

Your mini-lesson should include.

Grade level, ELA standards, learning objectives, description of the unit the field experience class is currently learning
Book that can be used to create ELA activities appropriate for the identified students.
Instructional strategies that encourage students to apply listening, speaking, and writing skills OR apply personal opinions toward the interpretation of texts.
A 100-150 word description of the ELA learning activity that is directly related to the data received from the pre-assessment
Formative Assessment (to be created and administered in Clinical Field Experience D)
Part 2: Mini-Lesson Plan Implementation

After completing the “ELA Mini-Lesson Plan,” share it with your mentor teacher for feedback. Provided permission, teach the mini-lesson plan to the small group of selected students. During your lesson, ensure you are answering questions from your students, asking questions that support critical thinking and problem solving, and observing the understanding from each student. (This might require formative assessments before, during, and after the lesson to determine understanding.)

If you are not able to implement the lesson, speak with your instructor for an alternate assignment.

Speak with your mentor teacher and, provided permission, use any remaining time to seek out opportunities to observe and/or assist your mentor teacher or another teacher and work with a small group of students on instruction in the classroom. Your mentor teacher must approve any hours spent observing another classroom environment.

Part 3: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon mentor teacher feedback related to your lesson plan, as well as lesson delivery. Identify successes of your lesson plan delivery as well as areas of potential growth. What accommodations, if any would you implement during testing to meet the needs of diverse students? Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Submit the “ELA Mini-Lesson Plan” and reflection as one deliverable.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

To complete this field experience assessment, you will need to create an ELA mini-lesson plan based on the data received from the pre-assessment in Clinical Field Experience B. You will also need to incorporate a chosen book identified with your mentor teacher to create ELA activities appropriate for the identified students.

Your mini-lesson plan should include the grade level, ELA standards, learning objectives, a description of the unit the field experience class is currently learning, and instructional strategies that encourage students to apply listening, speaking, and writing skills or apply personal opinions toward the interpretation of texts. Your lesson plan should also include a 100-150 word description of the ELA learning activity that is directly related to the data received from the pre-assessment, as well as a formative assessment that you will create and administer in Clinical Field Experience D.

After completing the mini-lesson plan, share it with your mentor teacher for feedback and teach it to a small group of selected students, ensuring that you answer questions, ask questions that support critical thinking and problem-solving, and observe understanding from each student. During your observation, it might be necessary to conduct formative assessments before, during, and after the lesson to determine understanding.

In your reflection, summarize and reflect upon mentor teacher feedback related to your lesson plan and delivery. Identify successes of your lesson plan delivery as well as areas of potential growth. You should also discuss any accommodations you would implement during testing to meet the needs of diverse students and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
