Artifacts and Characteristics of the Novice Teacher #7
The artifact I chose to represent the Characteristics of the Novice Teacher was my workstations project from Educ 461 with Sylvia Berryhill during the fall semester of '09. The characteristic that I believe this artifact fits best under is characteristic #7 which says A novice teacher should effectively integrate content and pedagogy because it illustrates that we know what to teach and how to teach it. For the assignment we were given several 4th grade CSO's that we had to cover over a two week literacy unit. What we taught was up to us as long as we covered the CSO's provided by our instructor. My workstations project was based around the theme of Native Americans. I chose a different reading skill each day and taught it with some sort of picture book involving the habits and cultures of Native Americans. I also created 10 workstations that fit along with this theme so as to reinforce those skills.

Sounds great!! This probably could be adapted to work with my sixth grade Native American novel. Picture books can be used to teach literary skills at this level, too.
ReplyDeleteVery good entry. A good choice of an artifact and good support for why:)
ReplyDeleteHey Lisa! I think it sounds like you had a really great workstations project! I know it was a lot of work but it turned out to be one of my best projects and I hope you feel the same way. This project really encompassed several of the characteristics of a novice teacher, such as #7, which we discussed in our small group on 2/5/10. Part of becoming a great teacher is knowing how to incorporate our content with proper pedegogy! Can't wait to read post number 2!
