Plan, teach and reflect on a series of microteaching lesson. Each lesson (except for the interdisciplinary lesson) will address a MN Standard and will focus on the following (in this order):

a) interdisciplinary lesson with non-linguistic representation (in class teaching)
b) active learning with cultural connections
c) teaching reading or ELL strategies (learner strategies)
d) concept attainment, use of metaphor, summary stems, or any of Marzano's research based
instructional strategies (student selects one)
e) critical thinking, inquiry or problem solving (student selects one)
f) classroom management (re-teaching of previous lesson; in class with 'behavior issues')

Forms needed for microteaching:

a) lesson plan format (use as a guide)

b) lesson plan checklist

c) peer review of microteaching

d) personal reflection of microteaching

e) classroom management reflection form

Task 2: Classroom Management Lesson

Select one lesson from those taught in microteaching; refine and expand it and teach it to a simulated class using good communication skills to foster supportive interaction among the students. Focus of this lesson will be dealing with classroom management issues while conducting the lesson and implementing effective communication skills and desist strategies.

Task 3: Practicum

Work with a teacher in your practicum setting for two weeks (depending on course calendar) to jointly or individually plan and deliver lessons to a classroom of high school or junior high students. Self evaluate and reflect on the experience in a journal and submit your lesson plans to your instructors.
