Editor's Notes
Through the traditional style of supervision Situated Learning model, it will help to develop my teaching skills and practices from a beginner stand point towards mastery through collaborations, interactions and engaging with both supervisors. Using the two supervisors as resources and mentors it allows me to go through the student teaching process with help and not have to make decisions, or figure out problems on my own.
How I expect to be supervised is through many different components from feedback, communication and evaluations. The University supervisor, Dr. Harvey will have a much different role then the cooperating teacher, Kim Floyd when it comes to these different components in supervision.
communication- with the daily communication from my cooperating teacher, it can help me plan, prepare, and remember past information that we have already discussed for future lessons. We can use before, after school and during a planning period ( it available) to go over any reflective items from the past lessons. Communication with my University supervisor will occur less frequently, a few times a week and a face to face meeting during the required seminar at night. During these times I can discuss and comments or concerns that he may have discussed with the cooperating teacher.
Feedback: In between class periods we will not always time
Obersvations
In Action: immediate, works on getting to the bottom of what is happening in the experiencer’s processes, decision making and feelings at the time of the even or interaction
Reflections- On – action- works on sifting over a previous event to take into account new information or theoretical perspectives available in conjunction with the experiencer’s process feelings and actions
I will work with my team of advisors to relect on action and then to work more in action with more competantcy and confidence./
