After observing and talking with the students and your mentor, summarize and reflect upon your experiences in 250-500 words, including:
• Your initial conversation with the mentor teacher, identifying how the student or students were chosen.
• Areas where the students seem to struggle.
• Summarize the conversation between you and the students discussing the areas that seemed to challenge them. Were they in agreement with you, or did they feel that they did not struggle or did not need support? If so, how did you continue to support them?
• Strategies you suggested to the mentor teacher, his or her feedback, and what strategies the two of you ultimately decided you would implement .
• Explain how you will use your findings to further assist the students while working with them in this placement. This will also help prepare you for Clinical Field Experiences C and D, as well as your own future classroom engagements.
