Standard 3: Engaging and Supporting Student Learning
During one of my practicum experiences, I tutored a 3rd grader, which allowed me to develop lesson plans informed by both assessment data and the student’s interests. As I built a relationship with the student, I learned more about her preferences and what engaged her in learning. This insight enabled me to tailor key aspects of our lessons, including the writing activities and read-aloud selections.
The student had a strong interest in animals and their habitats, so I selected a relevant book for us to read together and designed a writing activity to complement it. Additionally, knowing that her favorite book series was Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I incorporated one of the books from the series into our read-aloud sessions. I included a book from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series to keep the lessons enjoyable and engaging while providing a lighthearted and relaxed conclusion to our sessions.
