Practicum Teaching Experience
My skills with regard to pedagogy and assessment were developed
through practical experience during practicum placement sessions. During my session 2 placement, I
taught a composite year 4,5,6 class. Some students within the class were
achieving beyond stage 3, while others were at early stage 2. Through
ongoing assessment, I was able to gain insight into the needs of individual
students and therefore plan lessons accordingly. I was able to evaluate
lesson content and teaching strategies and adapt these in response to
student needs.
End of Session Comments
'Liz's
strength was her insight into evaluating herself and her pupils for
further direction in her planning' (Associate Teacher Practicum Session
2).
'Liz
used the children's work during her lessons to provide evaluation
for herself and the development of the class. She gained an excellent
insight into the needs of the children' (Associate Teacher Practicum
Session 2).
'Liz
became very flexible and responded to the needs of children in the
class' (Associate Teacher Practicum Session 2).
'Planning,
use of aids, motivation and preparation were developed to a high
standard. The children achieved all objectives and Liz's planning
and evaluation demonstrated how she was going to develop the next stage
in her lessons. The children enjoyed the lessons prepared as was evident
by the work completed' (Associate Teacher Practicum Session 2).
