RATIONALE/ REFLECTION COMPETENCY B ARTIFACT 1 2

Rationale for Planning, Preparation, Instruction, and Assessment of Learners
The artifact I selected to demonstrate the rationale of planning, preparation, instruction,
and assessment of learners is a copy of an exit ticket I administered at the end of introducing the
lesson plan of Adding Mentally. At the end of the lesson I gave which student an exit ticket
with the question, What questions do you still have about adding mentally? Their instructions
were to fill out the ticket on their way out for lunch. If the students didnt have a question I
instructed the students to explain what they had learned. This one particular student answered my
exit ticket as, Is this how its always going to be, because I dont like it?
The strategy of using an exit ticket has a very important concept. Ive used exit tickets in
many different ways. Most of the time my exit tickets includes just a question or two for the
students to answer quickly at the end of class. I usually collect them as the students leave and its
a good way to dismiss you students individually be intentional with saying goodbye to each one
of them. Its also great way to incorporate the closure in your lesson. The exit tickets I choose to
use is a deliberate way to establish an expectation that they need to be focused and driven during
the lesson so that they can complete the exit ticket.
In addition that exit tickets is a great way to assess what students learned, but they are
also a good tool for teachers to plan and prepare instruction and assessment of learners. Exit
tickets help me see if I taught the material well and if students understand what was being taught.
In this particular case, it was apparent that this particular student didnt understand the main
points of the lesson. It was very insightful on the different ways that students can learn. An exit
ticket gives me the opportunity to re-evaluate my lesson plans so that I can develop a plan to

teach in a different way or more successful and productive way so that all students are learning
and growing.
During the course of examining the exit tickets for this particular lesson I learned that
half of the class understood the strategy of adding mentally and it helped them with addition
however, the other half of the class did not understand the strategy of adding mentally and did
not enjoy it. It was a very enlightening experience. It made me realize that I needed to re-
evaluate my plans for the following days to reach all of my different learners. The following day
I taught the U.S Algorithm strategy for addition and the students that did understand or enjoyed
the adding mentally strategy were able to use and succeed with this strategy.
Reflection for Planning, Preparation, Instruction, and Assessment of Learners
I selected this artifact because it mirrors my teaching philosophy that all students deserve
the opportunity to learn. The use of exit tickets teaches myself as an educator in many different
ways and allows me to reach all of my students. Its very quick and easy and does not take much
time. It allows me address questions or misunderstandings and, it also allows me to differentiate
my instruction for particular students. I can only hope by using exit tickets in the classroom that
my students will learn to develop mastery goals rather than performance goals. I hope that my
students will reflect to gain knowledge and skills. In addition, I hope that students will learn to
use their exit tickets as a way to improve their work ethic, and better understand, apply, and use
the knowledge that they have obtained.
