CLINICAL FIELD EXPERIENCE D-EVALUATE AND REVISE 2
After the lesson and feedback, I felt there was no need to change the lesson plan or
assessment tool that was used to receive feedback. However, I feel that after receiving feedback,
I should have included all grade levels in the professional development opportunity.
First, the lesson plan was created for lower grade levels based on the needs of the
younger students and their inability to type fast or locate letters to type. Some of the comments
from the feedback were that Google Docs Voice Typing Tool could be beneficial for students to
gather their thoughts or share stories. With this in mind, I felt that the lesson could have been
changed to include the upper elementary teachers. However, I feel that it may best serve their
interest to have a separate professional development based on their students’ needs, which are
different than lower elementary students. For this reason, I would create a different workshop
for those teachers because upper elementary students already have the ability to type. The Voice
Typing tool would not be used for allowing students to type, but rather as an opportunity for
students to share information or gather thoughts without the typing process involved. It would
be similar to brainstorming without the stress of thinking about the process of typing.
In addition, the assessment tool that was used for feedback was a Google Form. This has
been used before and from experience, teachers are apt to respond. This is due to Google Forms
ability to be accessible on mobile devices which allows teachers to answer at the workshop or at
any time. Although the tool is easy to use, I feel that I could have asked a few more questions
besides what they learned from the resource and how it would be applied in the classroom.
Although I did talk to the staff who attended afterwards, I should have included next step
questions to further the professional development process. This would have been beneficial if I
Overall, being able to create a new workshop for upper elementary teachers and
providing a few more in-depth questions can be next on my list of next steps when creating the
