successful at reading. Not only can I listen and hear them better than in a whole

group setting, but I also get to see what strategies they use in order to sound out

words, predict, and practice one-to-one correspondence. Not only did I get to

participate in these small reading groups, but then getting a chance to reflect on them

was critical. It gave me a chance to look at each student and think about what I saw

from him/her and what strategies could be used to help him/her.

3. A If the artifact has been used in your practice, reflect on how your teaching will

change in the future to further meet the standard.

This artifact was used for an assignment and in my practice. I did the lessons

in my kindergarten placement and the reflection paper for a class. Actually using

these lessons in my practice definitely will affect my practice because it showed me

how important it is to actually hear your students. We often times lose students in the

whole group setting and are not hearing their needs and wants. Giving them the

opportunity to be heard can help teachers find where they may need more support in

order to be more successful in the classroom.

4. Conclude with a paragraph discussing how you are more prepared to Teach and

Learn in a Diverse Society as a result of satisfactorily meeting the standard.

I believe that this artifact has prepared me to teach and learn in a diverse

society because it helped me focus on ability differences. Often times we think of

diversity as race, socioeconomic, or cultural. In the classroom probably the most

important type of diversity is ability because it is our job to expand our students

ability and help them grow into productive citizens.
