Course Goals

1. I would like to be more communicative with my CT. It was easy to communicate with my CT last semester because she was more open, welcoming, helpful, and asked me questions. Other CTs have been more closed off, but I also wasn't very provoking of them either. I want to be able to actively communicate with my CT and ask questions in the correct way and manner that will engage in discussion and help learn more of what I need and want to know.

2. I want to improve on my classroom management skills. Last semester, there were some behavioral issues that I needed to address to keep the students under control and structured so that they can better follow with the lesson. I want to be able to better address these issues. I also have a more quiet voice and need to speak up with more enthusiasm.

3. I want to learn to effectively use accommodations and assessments for the children. I have had students with IEPs and physical disabilities in my last clinical, and I accommodated pretty well, but I hope to have better understanding of how to accommodate and assess these children.

3. I hope to be able to learn more about lesson contents and ways to teach Science and Social Studies, than just Literacy and Math. I would like to gain more knowledge on teaching Literacy and Math, but I also would like to especially gain more in Science and Social Studies, as these are important subjects to integrate.
