I understand the value and importance of looking at each task in great detail as well as taking into consideration students diverse backgrounds, cultures, ethnicity, learning styles, special needs and so forth. It provided me with a comprehensive insight as to what will be expected of me not only in student teaching and the certification process but as a teacher in developing my lesson plans and activities.
Being able to go through each task allowed me the opportunity to see what worked and what didn't, what I would change next time or add, how my students benefited from my lesson and did they need to know what I taught them? Was the information useful to them and did I apply it in a way they were able to understand? Could I have conveyed the material in a way that would have been more productive?
Being a first-semester graduate student having completed the edTPA tasks will allow me to look differently at how I plan my future lessons and have provided me with the opportunity to reflect on my first experiences in fieldwork. A great building block for the future!
