the aforementioned classes in addition to creating a wide variety of assessment. I
successfully promoted the growth and learning of students by asking appropriate
questions to create a higher-level of student thought. Throughout this placement I had to
be aware of the various needs within the classroom, which included a couple ESL
students. Throughout this placement I focused on differentiated assessment, feedback, and
student conferencing to ensure the success of all students.

to grade level.

GECDSB
Associate Teacher: Michelle Fennell
I had the opportunity to teach grade eight language arts, math, and art. I was required to
plan, create and teach an entire art unit on one-point perspective. The one pointperspective unit included a progression, which began with pencil, moved to coloured
pencils, and finished with pastels. Students were able to freely create an image that had to
meet specific criteria. I was also responsible for seamlessly running literacy centers and
co-teaching a unit based on the novel The Maze Runner. I was also required to plan,
create, and teach a math unit on The Order of Operations. This unit was riddled with
various assessments and completed with a final unit test. I was also expected to adapt all
of my lessons and tests for students on Individual Education Plans in the class.
Tutoring [November 2009 Present]
I have the privilege of tutoring a young girl, now age 16. I first began to tutor this student
when she was in grade six. She is now in grade 11 and I continue to provide academic aid.
I tutor language arts/English, history, science/biology, and math. Tutoring her over a long
period of time has increased my understanding of skill sets and needs based on age and
grade. It is interesting to follow the progression of a student over the course of many
years.
