Student teaching at Langley K-8 was much different than my first student teaching placement. We taught three sections of each grades in fourth through eighth on a six-day rotation. Each grade has standards and curriculum that needed to be followed through Pittsburgh Public standards. These standards were changed over the summer prior to my student teaching and throughout my student teaching, I attended two meetings focusing on the curriculum, making sure standards are met, and collecting data. Each grade was provided a packet of information containing key concepts and terms. My co-op provided me with the list of terms, discussed which terms were already covered, and the ones the students still needed to learn. The way I took over the classes was by taking over the fourth grade and autistic class the first week, and slowly adding a grade or two per week until I took over all the curriculum. This gave me the chance to co-teach the lessons my co-op introduced to different sections per grade and learn how she taught and organized materials and her classroom management structures. The way I planned for the curriculum is that each day I would bring in many examples of lesson plans, power-points, handouts, and teacher samples that I thought would fit with the curriculum, while being engaging for the students and discussed them with my co-op. If the lesson was approved then I would gather and prepare all the materials necessary including: multiple examples, signs with each step clearly marked, power-point, and materials for students (eg. cut to size, spot for name and section written on each material, name tags). Before the day started each day, I made sure all the materials for each class were laid out (eg. paper needed, artwork started, name tags), materials were prepared and organized (eg. paint, markers, pencils sharpened), and my co-op and I discussed the days plan and schedule. I am a highly organized person and often an art room can seem to be a room full of chaos and clutter, but I make it my mission to have an organized room where students know the routines to help maintaining an efficient classroom.
