Information
2. List any special features of your school or classroom setting (e.g., charter, coteaching, themed magnet, intervention or other leveled small group instruction,
classroom aide, bilingual, team taught with a special education teacher) that will
affect your teaching in this learning segment.
The majority of the students in my classroom are English Language Learners
and eight of my students are a part of the EIP. Therefore, I have a support team
of two additional school personnel that aid my in certain parts of my teaching. An
ESOL teacher assists me in the morning by guiding my ESOL readers through
our daily Shared Reading and Writing activities and assignments. During my
Daily 4 centers, the EIP teacher leads works with my EIP students on specific
skills such as letter sounds, segmenting and blending sounds, or improving their
literary accuracy and fluency.
3. Describe any district, school, or cooperating teacher requirements or
expectations that might affect your planning or delivery of instruction, such as
required curricula, pacing plan, use of specific instructional strategies, or
standardized tests.
My school requires that I teach my students the standards and topics listed in the
Georgia Performance Standards. The GPS have a set schedule for what
standards should be taught when and I am encouraged to follow these guidelines
as closely as possible. I am also required to distribute certain tests and
assessments created by the Clarke County School District. However, I can
always re-assess or administer a different assessment after giving the districts
assessment if I feel it did not accurately show me what my students have
learned.
