Thoughts and Feelings, Fears, Strengths and Weaknesses as you began Candidate Teaching.

1. I was very excited to finally be to this stage of my education. I was indeed ready to learn as much as I could from this endeavor!

2. I was also very nervous. I wondered if the children would like me and if our

personalities would go well together. I was nervous about taking on ALL responsibilities!

Proficiency 1.0: The teacher candidate uses knowledge of curriculum, learner differences, and ongoing assessment data to plan for student access to same essential content.

Reflective Analysis:  How did you use knowledge of curriculum, learner differences, and ongoing assessment data to plan for student access to same essential content?

• I used my pre-assessment to determine what that I needed to teach, and retaught one-on-one for those that preformed poorly in the post-assessment. (1 child)

• Note: I gave this pre-assessment verbally one-on-one!
