The document outlines the six FEAP domains related to professional development and responsibilities. It provides examples of how the intern has met each domain during their teaching experience. Specifically, it discusses: setting goals to improve teaching based on student needs; using research and data to improve instruction and student achievement; collaborating with colleagues to evaluate learning and improve lessons; using a classroom management app to communicate with parents; engaging in professional development opportunities to improve teaching; and implementing strategies learned from training and observations.

FEAP 5 Domains
Feap5a- Designs purposeful professional goals to strengthen
the effectiveness of instruction based on students needs After each supervisor observation, I make goals for myself to improve certain aspects of my teaching to benefit my self and the students I am teaching. When setting these goals, I think about what I can do to improve in my weaknesses in a positive way. I am also thinking about my learners and how I can engage them in learning. At the beginning of the semester I set a goal for myself to improve students engagement and setting expectations. I was able to meet these goals by clearly setting academic and behavioral expectations before my lesson and using turn and talks to improve student engagement. Goal Sheet: http://caiseereno.weebly.com/inquiry-spring-2016/goalsheet Feap 5b- Examines and uses data-informed research to improve instruction and student achievement For my inquiry this year, I decided to focus on student engagement and how I can implement certain strategies to improve student focus during lessons and independent work. The first thing that I had to do was do research on things that worked for other teachers and what strategies may not have worked. Using this data informed research allowed me to decide what I wanted to try in my own classroom, with my own students. Implementing these strategies helped improve my delivery of instruction and overall helped improve student achievement.
Feap 5c- Uses a variety of data, independently, and in
collaboration with colleagues, to evaluate learning outcomes, adjust planning and continuously improve the effectiveness of the lessons Each quarter, students must take what is called a quarterly check to gauge how well they have learned the given standards for each quarter. For the past two quarterly checks, my CT and I have looked over this data together, interpreted it, and used it to help us decide if certain topics/standards needs to be revisited or retaught to the students in whole group. This was particularly helpful right before FSA (Florida State Assessment) because it helped my CT and I decide what we should focus on for the review week before the test. Since the data clearly showed a deficit in area and perimeter, that is something we decided to focus on for a few days during review week. Because of this, we felt very confidant and confortable, going into FSA that the students would do well.
Feap 5d- Collaborates with the home, school and larger
communities to foster communication and to support student learning and continuous improvement In my classroom, we use classroom dojo as a class management system. Dojo is an app where students have an avatar and their avatar can gain or lose points based on certain behaviors in the classroom. Teachers can have this app open during lessons, small group, or while students are working independently and can easily access it when necessary. Not only does the teacher have access to this but also so do the students parents. They can immediately see the points that their students receive or lose and the reason behind the points. In addition, the teacher and the parents can communicate through the dojo message system and can constantly be in contact with each other over questions, comments or concerns for either party. I have been using this since I started my final internship and it is a great way to communicate with parents and keep them in the loop at all time.
Feap 5e- Engages in targeted professional growth
opportunities and reflective practices Since being in internship level one, my internship school has provided many opportunities and trainings for me to grow professionally. One thing that comes to mind is the IRLA training that we had with Ellen Martin. IRLA stands for Independent Reading Level Assessment Framework. This is what the teachers use to determine what level reader a student is at and when they will be able to move up to a higher level. The principle at my internship school provided us with this training so that we were able to broaden our skill set. In addition, after supervisor and CT observations take place, I use the feedback given to me to improve my teaching practices and so I can grow professionally. In addition, I have been writing lesson reflections for observations done by both my CT and supervisor.
Feap 5f- Implements knowledge and skills learned in
professional development in the teaching and learning process Since having the IRLA training with Ellen Martin, I have been able to use these newly learned skills in my internship classroom. I am able to meet with students and assess their reading and comprehension progress, as well as set goals for them so that they can grow and improve their reading skills. In addition, I am constantly learning new skills and techniques from my collaborating teacher and implementing those techniques when I teach lessons on my own. After my supervisor observation, I was given the advice that I should watch whom I call on to answer questions, because I tend to call on the same people over and over again. To fix this problem, I use the random select button on
classroom dojo, to randomize who gets to answer questions during
lessons. This allows everyone a chance to answer and makes those quiet/shy students participate as well. Below is a picture of me randomly selecting a student to participate.
