congruent with instructional goals. The students are aware of how they are meeting the
established standards and are involved in the goal setting process.
This experience aligns best with this KSD because this RTI group was already meeting
and exceeding grade level benchmarks, therefore I developed the unit and assessment to
meet their learning and developmental needs by researching second grade English
Language Arts Standards on information text. I also based the rubric for the final
presentation on these standards.
I am more competent after this experience because I used the information I had available
about the students progress, learning goals, and educational standards to create an
assessment and an entire unit that was challenging but not beyond the students
intellectual ability.

Personal Reflection
What I learned about teaching/learning from this experience:
From this experience I learned to be a more effective educator because I was required to
differentiate my instruction to focus on the learning needs of a group of students that had
already proven competency in the field of language arts at their grade level. It also
required that I create a formal assessment that took into consideration the learning
trajectory for students above grade level benchmarks.
What learned about myself as a prospective educator as a result of this experience:
As a prospective educator, I better understand how to develop an assessment that focus
on students progress and strives to meet grade level benchmarks and standards. In order
to do this, an educator must be competent in their ability to plan instruction that gives
students every opportunity to be successful in their learning outcomes. I feel the best
way to do this is to clearly state and establish goals for students built around meaningful
instruction.
