This is just the beginning of my professional development. When I begin teaching full-time I plan to implement a few simple practices in my teaching that will help me in this area of my growth. For example, the principle of multi-level teaching is one that I was not aware of during my practicum, but will bear in mind in the future. Teachers identify and examine the objectives and materials of the lesson and determine potential content and skill level differences. Teachers consider the different learning styles, and cognitive and participation levels of students as well as the various presentation modes that can be used to present the lesson.
Teachers consider the different ways students can practice and show mastery of skills and concepts.
Teachers also employ methods for teaching students to accept the differing response modes for demonstrating skill mastery and understanding of concepts. Of course, I used various strategies outlined in these steps. For example, I always considered different learning styles and tried to incorporate different instructional strategies. However, I need to consider different ways for students to demonstrate understanding of concepts. I always modified tests and quizzes for D. but not for other students.
