This course was a transfer from my internship year. As a part of the internship we participated in six credits of classes each semester and nine credits of professional experience at our placement. As a continuation of TE 802, we worked on the enduing understandings of the social study curriculum. These include: teachers and students create the curriculum, teachers value the cultural assets students bring to the classroom, teaching is a learning profession, social studies teaching is interdisciplinary, and teachers and students are citizens. Some major assignments in this course included a capstone assignment where I assessed my role in extra curricular activities in my placement, an assessment of my teaching time in the classroom, and a portfolio that collected the diversity of artifacts in social studies from my class.
Capstone Project
During the final month of class we were asked to consider our experience of being an intern at our placement. Through this brochure, I outlined the undefined role of working in extracurriculars at your placement. The goal was to provide some insight for students that volunteered, but were unsure of the guidelines.
Portfolio
This assignment was an analysis of artifacts that I felt displayed the best work during my internship and areas where I still needed improvement. In addition to the artifacts, it contains a discussion of successes and needs for improvement.
Teaching Time Assignment
A common assignment that took place throughout the course of TE 804 that asked us to consider time management in the classroom.
