Artifact One:  Reading Clinic - This artifact is taken from the summer tutoring program at ASU with Dr. Morris.

Context:  In this 5 week summer course, Dr. Morris provided us with assessment and tutoring materials and techniques.  I tutored 2 students for an hour, four days a week for 4 weeks.  My first students was a second grade girl who was weak on fluency and didn't enjoy reading.  My second student was a 7th grade boy for did not pass the EOG test.  He loved to read, but could not comprehend material that did not interest him.  These samples are from my second grade student.

Impact:  The reading Clinic has had a great impact on me as a teacher.  I have continued to use many of the methods I learned in this program, especially the word sorting and rereading techniques.  Tutoring the 7th grade boy was a wonderful experience for me.  This was my first  experience working with older children.

 

Alignment: These reading assessments are aligned with the following NBPTS standards.

Standard 2  Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.  The reading clinic was a wonderful experience for me to actually use the information I have learned in my master's program by teaching students.    

Standard 3  Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.  This experience taught us how to monitor a student's progress and how to manage our teaching time to cover as much as we could in the time allowed.

Standard 4  Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.   The Reading Clinic was a great learning experience.  We were able to learn from advisors and our students.
