COMPETENCY SELF-EVALUATIONS


FOUNDATIONS ( 1, 2 )
To act as a professional inheritor, critic and interpreter of knowledge or culture when teaching students.

FEATURES
Situates the discipline's basic benchmarks and points of understanding (concepts, postulates and methods) in order to
facilitate significant, in-depth learning by students.
Adopts a critical approach to the subject matter.
Establishes links between the secondary culture set out in the program and the secondary culture of the students.
Transforms the classroom into a cultural base open to a range of different viewpoints within a common space.
Casts a critical look at his or her own origins, cultural practices and social role.

LEVEL OF MASTERY
By the end of his or her initial training, the student teacher should be able to:
understand the subject-specific and program specific knowledge to be taught, so as to be able to promote the creation of
meaningful links by the students;
exhibit a critical understanding of his or her cultural development and be aware of its potential and limitations;
exhibit a critical understanding of the knowledge to be taught, so as to promote the creation of meaningful links by the
students;

Establish links with the students' culture in the proposed learning activities.

How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?

During this first stage I was assigned to teach secondary I and secondary II science and technology. While preparing lesson plans
I followed the POL to cover the material that was required for the curriucum. In order to make the material meaningful and relevant to
students I included videos and stories as I taught so that students could relate. Incoroporating these elements into the lesson encouraged
discussion in the classroom as students were exposed to visual representations of scientific concepts and were able relate to stories that
were recounted.
While teaching the unit on the diversity of life I borrowed examples that I had experienced through my own travels to illustrate
different concepts that were being covered. Sharing these stories helps to make the concepts real as students can ask me questions based on
my own experiences. As I tell these stories I also encourage students to share their own experiences so that they may bring their own
knowledge into the classroom. These exchanges are very enriching and help students to understand that knowledge is not only something
we attain through the classroom but that experiences outside the school are just as important to our overall education.
Preparing material for students that is current: Finding a habitable planet- was a project that I assigned to my secondary II
classes which took into consideration factors that are necessary for survival on different planets. This project is in line with current
research from NASA as work is being done to find signs of life as well as the possibilities of the human species one day surviving on
another earth like planet.I also try to incorporate interesting ways to conduct formative assessment for students- examples include Solar
System Jeapordy as part of a review before the final test and a Kahoot Cell structure quiz to end a days lesson and review material. The
students loved the change of pace and were excited to answer questions.
My life experiences through education, work and life in general have shaped who I am and how I view situations. I am also aware that I am
a person who is constantly learning and tries to incorporate different views into my assessment of situations. I will maintain an open mind
in my classroom and always understand that each student is an individual with their own story and background. Through the courses that I
have had opportunity to take in this program I have come to realize that each person brings into the classroom their own experiences and
knowledge. I will respect the different cultures within my classroom and ensure there is a mutual respect among the students. I also
understand that I am in the process of continued learning and will be open to all opportunities that will allow me to expand my knowledge
base academically and culturally within the university setting as well as with my students in the classroom. I have also learned that there
are difficulties experienced by students who come into content classrooms and have difficulty with the language of instruction. It is my
responsibility to be aware and to accommodate these students so that they too may succeed

How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?





Through the use of a power point presentation as well as class discussion, students are learning about the
properties of matter and making the connection to their own world.

In labs where the vocabulary is unknown I take the time to go through the words with the class and review the
defintion and explain what the word is referring to. During this internship students added new scientific words to

their vocabulary that were part of the following categories: physical structures, a biological processes,

organization of matter. Students are given the opportunity to learn the words during oral reviews in class and are
enouraged to spell and use these words accurately in their written assignments and evaluations.


I present my lessons to students orally and with the visual aid of a power point presentation which includes
descriptive text as well as images. Students will all have access to any notes given in class on the class websit. I
took care to ensure that all notes were written with proper vocabulary and grammar.

How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?

I take care to include current events and topics in my lessons and to reflect the population of my classroom in the ressources
that I choose.
,
I recently taught a Unit on the Living World which included the topics of Habitat, Ecological Niche, Ecosystem and
Adaptations. I decided to assigne to students a project on Endangered Speicies after being inspired by an article that was

found in our local Gazette that discussed the Endangered Species of Canada. In introduced the project using the article to
raise awareness that is not only a problem in rainforets or with the Great Panda (an animal which is most often associated
with endagered species).

I had the opportunity to teach an all girl secondary II science section. I realized early on that the material that I was
covering for the POL always centered around male scientists and that the young women in the class could benefit from the
introduction of great female scientists, past and current. I would begin classes with an image of female scientists and have a
dicussion with the students or I would choose videos with female researchers to enhance the topic that was being covered.

FEATURES
Creates conditions in which students can engage in meaningful problem situations, tasks or projects, based on
their cognitive, emotional and social characteristics.
Provides students with the resources they need to take part in the learning situations.
Guides students in selecting, interpreting and understanding the information provided in the various resources
and in understanding the elements of a problem situation or the requirements of a task or project.
Supports student learning by asking questions and providing frequent and relevant feedback to promote the

Encourages teamwork.
LEVEL OF MASTERY
By the end of his or her initial training, the student teacher should be able to:
guide students, through appropriate interventions, in carrying out learning tasks; lead the students to work
together in cooperation;
Detect teaching/learning problems that arise and use the appropriate resources to remedy them.
How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience
During our unit on the Solar System the secondary II students were placed in groups and assigned 3 different

projects related to the solar system. Prior to starting the projects my CT and I discussed the combinations of students that
would work best together. It was an introduction for me on how many factors need to be considered when creating

groups for projects. I had to take into consideration modified students who would benefit b y being paired with more

independent students. While considering this factor I also h ad to ensure that these independent students would gain

from this situation as well.

I recall once incident where a student who usually prefers to work on his own complained about b eing placed

with a student who works at a slower pace. This is an example of a situation where both students can benefit from this
pairing. The student who preferes to work alone was given an opportunity to work on patience as well as guide his fellow

student in the process thereby sharing his knowledge with someone else. Though group work can be difficult in terms of

organization and ensuring that students are on task I believe it is b enefiical and is representative of what students will
encounter throughout their lives. Though group work can be beneficial it also poses challenges with respect to the load
that everyone is willing to take on. I spoke with the all the members of the each group to ensure that there was a
consitent effort being m ade by everyone. In the cases that this were not so, assessment was made o n an individual basis.

How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?


At the beginning of my units I prepare a pre-assessment to establish the level of knowledge and understanding that students
have for a particular subject.At the end of my lessons I follow-up with an exit ticket to assess how the learning has evolved
and how I should begin my next lesson. This has usually led to a review discussion at the beginning of every lesson to go
over material that has been presented and to establish the link to the current lesson.
I have designed several quizzes and tests to assess student learning. I ensure that my assessments have a variety of question
styles ( multiple choice, short answer, matching) in order to provide fair assessments for all students. Once assessments are
corrected I would return them to students and we would review all questions. During this time they would be given the
opportunity to correct their errors and ask any questions that they may have found difficult or confusing during the test.

I have also participated in the collaborative design of tests with other colleagues who were teaching at the same level.

Establish and apply methods that can be used to solve problems with students who exhibit inappropriate
behaviours.
How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?

I began each lesson with a slide of the day s lesson plan. I realized that doing this allowed students to know where we were headed and
to anticipate how the class would be divided into sections with repecct to the time period.

After a couple of weeks of teachig I established a small set of rules for classroom conduct. Students were told that no one is allowed to
interefere with the education of another person in the classroom. The rule is simple yet it encompasses a range of classroom behaviours.
Students are required to listen when another person in the class is expressing an opinion or answering a questions. Talking over the
teacher or other studetns in the classroom is not accepted.Students were encouraged to express their thoughts. There were times the
class would not cooperate. Students would be warned that the lesson would continue into their own recess time since they insisted on

using class time as their own for social purposes.

Other strategies used were to move students from their current seating to other parts of the room. This practice was effective and helped
some students begin to concentrate more and show improvement in their work.

I also implemented a new seating plan to help with classroom management. Again this involved knowing the students well and trying to
students that would work well together.
Though I have made quite a bit of progress in the area of classroom management I feel that this is an area that I could continue to
improve in.
During labs I circulate around the room to ensure that students are working well and offer assistance whenever it is needed.

I had several students with IEPs in my classes during both internships and became familiar with the
accomodations that they required for note taking, group work social requirements and assessments.

I also prepared modified versions of exit cards and tests for students who had these reqirements. In addition on

the occasions where my CT and I worked together in the classroom I was able to sit with students who had
accomodations and read through exams or works sheets with them.

I also made myself available during lunch hours to help students with review or to allow students who required
more time for tests to complete their tests.

During both internships I had the opportunity be present during the IEP training. For Internship 1 I was able to
assist in the evaluation and updating of the IEPS for six of my students along with several of their teachers from
other subject areas.

The science fair took place over a few days at our school. I was involved in assisting with visits from
elementary school children who were presenting at the fair.

Though the project did not work out due to funding, I approached individuals at the school to participate
in the creation of a school garden that would benefit students as well as the community.
I met with several parents of students during parent teacher interviews and communicated achievements
of students as well as areas of concern. I discovered how important relationships with parents are and
how great an impact open communicatons with parents can have on a students success.

Though my contact with parents was limited to the parent teacher interviews my CT and I discussed the
progress of our students regularly. Based on our discussions my CT would communicate with parents any

How have I developed this competency during this course or professional seminar/field experience?



Throughout the course of my internships I have kept a reflective journal to record the events of my teaching. The
journal has allowed me to go back and revisit moments of success, frustration and even failure. During my second
stage I had the opprotunity to share these reflections with my supervisor who gave insight and advice as to how to

improve situations that I described or to encourage me to continue with successes. Reviewing these reflections

with other colleauges during coverstations (PLC groups) has helped to shed light on the fact that we are all
experiencing similar siturations at any given moment. What I have learned through these converstations with my
colleagues and mentors is that every day of teaching is an opportunity to come into the classroom and try to
improve on the last day.

I am able to recognize my strentghs and focus on areas that I need to improve. I have also read and continue to
read articles on education that help to keep me current and aware of the modern day classroom. As an educator I
plan to maintain the practice of keeping a reflective journal and discussing issues and topics of interest with a
community of peers.

on individuals and on the class as a whole. My philosophy is to ensure that students realize that I care for them as
individuals who will become contributing members of society and that they realize this responsibility through
their actions in the micro-society of our classroom.


I communicated extensively with my CTs regarding issues of classroom behaviour and how to manage different

levels of situations. I accepted their suggestions but also provided my own strategies to improve classroom

management. I made decisions with my CT in terms of how to deal with any situations that arose during my
internship.
