Course Evidence and Reflection

Artifact 1: The Barren Grounds Teacher Resource

Reflection: This artifact strengthened my ability to plan literacy instruction that is both text-centered and identity-affirming. I focused on prompts that move beyond recall. Those prompts invited students to connect belonging, culture, and land to their own thinking. The process reinforced that intentional questions support richer, more inclusive discussion.

Professional Growth: Next time, I will offer differentiated response options, including oral, visual, and written pathways, so all students can meet the same learning goals.

Artifact 2: Comparing Lengths Lesson Plan

Reflection: This lesson plan reflects my approach to hands-on math in the primary grades. Students tested ideas, recorded evidence, and compared results in a collaborative format. Planning this sequence confirmed that concrete materials support precise measurement language. It also showed me that shared talk strengthens mathematical reasoning.

Professional Growth: In future delivery, I will include a brief midpoint check to catch misconceptions early and add an extension task for students who are ready to go further.

Artifact 3: Group 8 Group Lesson Plan (Canva)

Reflection: This group lesson plan shows how I collaborate during planning. Our team aligned curriculum expectations and shared instructional roles. We built a sequence that balanced engagement with clear learning goals. Contributing to this artifact strengthened my communication and co-planning skills.

Professional Growth: For future group planning, I will define timing checkpoints earlier so transitions, assessment moments, and support roles are even more precise.

Artifact 4: Integrated Lesson Plan (PDF)

Reflection: This integrated lesson plan highlights my effort to connect subjects within one coherent learning experience. I focused on linking expectations across subject areas. I paced instruction intentionally and built tasks that let students apply skills in context. The artifact reflects my growing confidence with interdisciplinary planning.

Professional Growth: Next time, I will tighten success criteria for each phase of the lesson so assessment evidence is easier to track and communicate.

Artifact 5: Grade 5 HPE Dance Lesson (PDF)

Reflection: This lesson plan strengthened my ability to structure movement learning from warm-up to reflection with clear purpose. I used freeze dance and an adapted tag game to build confidence and body awareness. Students also practiced responding to beat, tempo, and mirrored movement. This kept participation active and focused throughout the lesson.

Professional Growth: Next time, I will add clearer success criteria for movement quality and include differentiated options so students can choose complexity levels while still working toward the same dance outcomes.
