10. Discuss with at least two (2) mentor teacher/s the introductory steps he/she takes to begin

Teacher 1:

planning a unit of instruction. Questions to consider in your discussions: How does your mentor

decide which materials to use? How does your mentor decide the amount of material to cover in a

Teacher 2:

lesson? Determine the lesson objectives? Assess student success? What advice can your mentor

provide you in beginning to plan lessons in your content area?

11. As you move through the semester, opportunities will emerge for you or your teacher/s to

find/need additional resources on a topic of study: a student may ask a question to which you

don’t know the answer, your teacher may be planning a new unit and need additional information,

or you may wish to “dig deeply” into an area of study. With one teacher’s permission, secure and

share with your teacher at least two new/previously unknown resources/content-based strategies

that can be utilized in the classroom on a topic of study related to your content area.

12. After week 3, at the direction of one teacher and with permission, provide students w/assistance

in finding resources and information and/or assist individual students with technology-based

instruction.

13. At the direction of one teacher and with permission, check or grade papers with a key. You may

record grades if your teacher / district gives you permission to do so (most grades are kept

electronically and require a secure login so this may not be possible).

14. Discuss with your teacher team how assessment data is used in their school and in their

classrooms. What is the impact of assessment data on their instruction?

15. With at least two different teachers, observe and track what kinds of assessment you see teachers

Teacher 1:

using in the classrooms. This could be assessments they use during a lesson while teaching to

gauge if students are “getting it” (formative assessments) or assessments they use at the end of a

Teacher 2:

lesson or unit to determine if students have mastered the content and are ready to move to the

next topic of study (summative assessment). Discuss these assessments with your mentor

teachers: why these assessments? What information do they get from these assessments?

16. After week 4, at the direction of your teacher and with permission, introduce a lesson your teacher

already has planned (teach the warm-up activity, review homework, etc.)

17. Learn to operate whatever technology is available to your classroom/school (i.e., Smartboard,

projector, etc.)

18. Complete at least 2 small administrative classroom tasks for your teacher (e.g., take attendance,

stuff mailboxes, organize or file, pass out papers or assignments, create a bulletin board.)

After week 4, with the permission and guidance from one (1) mentor teacher, plan and teach a

mini-lesson. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AN ENTIRE CLASS PERIOD; short lessons or parts of

lessons are fine. Guidelines:

Requirements given by course instructors should be followed first. If you’re not sure what to

do, follow directions from your course instructor.

Your lesson must be planned at least two weeks in advance. (Planning may begin in week 2

1-10

with mentor teacher approval).

You must use the lesson plan template approved by your course instructor. Remember this

can be a mini-lesson! Not all parts of the template may be used … work with your mentor

teacher on this.

Your lesson must be approved by your mentor teacher.

Other requirements as indicated by your mentor teacher and/or course instructor. Co-

teaching or team teaching with the mentor is encouraged.
