Dimension 4. Skill in Teaching

Artifact: Student Teaching Observation Rubric, and the video of this Students Teaching
Observation.
Discussion:
I used Student Teaching Observation Rubric as an artifact for Dimension 4 (skill in
teaching), and the video. This observation rubric was graded by my field supervisor, Professor
Allen Wien, while I was student teaching in Manhattan Hunter Science High School. Student
teachers are all required to be observed and graded by a field supervisor in order to receive grade
for student teaching course. The topic for this lesson was Algebraic Expression. Students were
learning to identify the GCF in various polynomial expressions or quadratic expressions.
In this rubric, there was a category called Skill in Teaching. In that category, I received
3.2 out of 4.0. During this lesson, I motivated students effectively and most students were motive
to learn. The lesson contained essential components of classroom interaction, such as teacher
demonstration, group work and individual assignment (homework). I also used Smart-Board
during teaching, and students participation as you will see in the video.
