2a. Organizes, allocates and manages the resources of time, space, and attention:
Attention getter
Throughout my time in this classroom, I used the "give me five" attention getter. I used this attention getter since my students were already familiar with it due to their school using it as an attention getter. I used it to get their attention when they were sitting at their desks. Once the students were at an appropriate noise level, I began to give my students instructions.
Artifact:
2b. Manages individual and class behaviors through a well-planned management system:
Establish clear expectations
For the lining up students observation, I made sure that I established clear expectations for my students. I did a review of the expectations for lining up to leave the classroom and hallway behavior with my students before I let them line up. I was able to prepare and manage the behaviors of my students by creating and following my lesson plan. The routines and procedures were well-planned out and helped support student behavior.
Artifact:
2c. Conveys high expectations to all students:
Set higher expectations for my students in order to prepare for a change in routine
The hallways that the students usually walked down to get to lunch were being painted on the day of the observation. Since this was the case, I had to change my procedures and have my students follow a different path. Once my students were lined up and I knew I had their attention, I told them that we would have to go through a different path to get to the cafeteria since the hallways were being painted. Also, I told them about the specific change in the regular routine that I wanted them to do (take a left on the main hallway instead of a right). I set even higher expectations for them regarding hallway behavior and staying in line since this would be unfamiliar for the students.
Artifact:
2d. Respect students' cultural, linguistic, and family background:
Respecting student's linguistic background
When I was planning a Reading lesson for a small instructional group, I had to figure out how I would accommodate potential ELLs that would be in the group. One thing I did was keep my student's language background in mind with how their home language transfers to English. An example of this is how the /m/ sound transfers to all languages, but the mb spelling pattern does not transfer. Also, the /n/ sound transfers in most languages, but the kn and gn spelling patterns do not transfer. I also try to pick books that would not offend any cultures.
Artifact:
2e. Models clear, acceptable oral and written communication skills:
Clear Directions
For a small instructional group lesson, I helped my students understand my expectations by modeling clear and explicit directions. My students understood what they were supposed to do for a phonics activity since I told them that they were going to write a word with me and sound the word out with me. I helped them understand how they would read a book by telling them that we are going to whisper-read the book and I helped them make their sequence of events chart by explaining that they would write about the events of the story in the order that they happened in. When I was providing my expectations, I used clear language by speaking at an appropriate speed and utilizing appropriate vocabulary.
Artifact:
2f. Maintains a climate of openness, inquiry, fairness and support:
Anchor Chart
When the class was doing a lesson on perimeter, I created an anchor chart about perimeter for them. I was able to help the students understand perimeter through a clear and concise chart that had a summary of everything about the perimeter of an object. An anchor chart like this can help the students that struggle with understanding Math-related topics such as ELLs. Being able to have a reference like this while you are doing work will help you successfully understand it.
Artifact:
2g. Integrates current information and communication technologies:
Using technology during a lesson
To integrate technology into a small instructional group lesson, I decided to create a Kahoot game that I would use to assess their knowledge. I was able to increase student engagement during the lesson since they were excited to play the Kahoot game. After each question, I would see how many students got the question right and provided them with feedback on why the answer is correct. By using technology, I was able to increase the lessons effectiveness and made the students more excited to participate.

2h. Adapts the learning environment to accommodate the differing needs and diversity of students:
Repeated directions for students that struggle with paying attention
Throughout my observation, I made sure to repeat the directions multiple times so I would know that my students understood them. I was able to repeat the directions before we left the classroom and when we were walking in the hallway. I did this to help my students that have a hard time paying attention.
Artifact:

3f. Employ higher level questioning techniques:
DOK Questions
During my small group lesson, I asked my students DOK questions that would engage them with a topic and help them expand upon their answers. I would ask them questions at varying DOK levels so I could engage them with different types of thinking and expand on their understanding. After the students finished reading a book, I asked my students DOK questions so I would be able to assess their understanding of the book. Also, I was able to ask my students some DOK questions during the Kahoot so I would be able to help them think critically. I created these questions during my lesson planning, so I knew what I would be asking my students ahead of time.
