PEER and STUDENT TEACHING – PE452 SUMMER

Student teaching and peer assessment process:                     (20%)

• Create a lesson plan format to use on your field experience.
• Teach your peers a lesson taken from the content you expect to teach on the field experience. 
• Adapt your plans based on the experience of teaching your peers, noting feedback given and possible helpful ideas.
• Use data from observation tools to use as evidence to show improvement in your teaching, along with any observation tools you use on the field experience.  [
• Resources on-line in Assessment section.  Also see Siedentop & Tannehill (2000).  Chapter 16 – Instruments for assessing teaching effectiveness p. 318 – 335 – on reserve in Resource Lab

Requirements – Tick boxes as items completed.

q  Each person in the pair (group) must teach a portion of the lesson on his or her own.  Partner will observe, making notes based on instructor’s comments and his or her observations. 

q  Complete an equipment list for your lesson at least 24 hours before you teach.  The equipment request form obtained from the equipment room should have your name with (c/o Tim Hopper), PE452, and with time and date when your pair will teach.

q  Make a copy of your lesson plan to be handed in to Dr. Hopper prior to teaching.  This lesson plan will be returned, with comments by the next class.  If your lesson plan is not acceptable it will have to be redone until acceptable.  Ensure lesson plans have Objectives (CAPS), Task progression with cues, Management tasks, Organization equipment and space, Phases of a lesson and Closure evaluation.

q  After completing the lessons write out a reflection on your teaching.  To structure your reflection I suggest answering the following questions:

o       What did you do as a teacher?

o       What did your students learn?

§         How do you know?

o       Why did the learning happen?

§         How could you develop student’s learning?

q  Include your lesson plans with reflections and observation forms.  To be handed in no later than Thursday, Nov 13..

Grading

This work will not be given a numerical mark, but completion of each of the items listed above will result in full marks being achieved for the field experience assignment.  Any missing items will result in marks being deducted from the field experience assignment.
