Ongoing, weekly reflections about the experience

Must be sent to your supervisor and your supervisor will respond to you by Monday.

Specific requirements will be discussed by your supervisor

Reflections must include a classroom management component

What strategies are employed by the cooperating teacher or others in the school?

Are these strategies effective? Why or why not?

How do the strategies connect to your EECE classes in relation to what you learned about classroom management?

What are your thoughts on the system? How would you change it if at all? Will this system work for you?

Are there any students for which the system is ineffective?

If so, why? How would you deal with this student (or

these students?) Is there evidence of management

strategies designed into the planning? If so, what are the strategies? If not, what could be done?

What are your own experiences with classroom management while you are in the field?

FINAL REFLECTION Consider your own views on, and plans for

classroom management. Write a preliminary philosophy of classroom

management statement. What strategies will you use to maintain a well

managed classroom?

Professionalism (Dispositions Sheet) L1, L2 may result in repetition, remediation, or removal of ECE 4406.

Please inform your CT, school, and Toss supervisor of any absences ahead of time. Remember to report to your school every day, teacher hours starting tomorrow.

Professional dress is required. Think of it as a job interview each time you walk in that building.

Are you on social media? Think twice about posting that picture or comment on Facebook or Twitter.

You can not register for the GACE until you have successfully completed TOSS. This takes about two weeks after final grades are due for your completion to process. So, if you pass TOSS, you should be able to register for the GACE around December 28. Please contact ESS/Kellie Oxford for specific GACE questions.

The spring student teaching meeting will be in early January (please check your email and the CEPP website for specific information about the meeting and your first day in the field).

CEPP can no longer change your placement. Requests have been sent out to the schools asking them to accept you for student teaching.
