Clinical Field Experience A: ELL Classroom Observation Using SIOP

I hope all is well! I am sorry that your field experience has been affected by the ongoing health crisis posed by the Coronavirus! The list below shows videos of teachers teaching a SIOP lesson that you may observe to complete the various fieldwork assignments in this course.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Utilizing the SIOP Checklist from Appendix A in the textbook, observe and assess at least one lesson in a Title I setting that involves ELLs.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Submit a copy of the checklist with a 250‐word reflection on this experience. Address the following questions in your reflection:

  1. Were the students aware of the class language and content objectives?
  2. How did the teacher instruct the content and language objectives?
  3. What type of student group configurations were used? How many different types of student configurations were used?
  4. How did the teacher accommodate for different ELP levels?

GCU format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.

Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form to LoudCloud in the last topic. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center.

In Chapter 11 of the course textbook, a sample lesson plan is provided along with a critique that you can find on page 280. You may review the critique of the sample lesson to figure out what to look for as you observe the Youtube lesson(s). Please provide the URL for the videos you have observed in your report.

In week 6 of this course, you may fill out the verification form and list me as your mentor.
