TC NAME: Sheila LoweRICA Domain 1: Planning, Organizing, and Managing Reading Instruction Based on Ongoing Assessment
RICA Competency 1: Planning, Organizing, and Managing Reading Instruction
Grade Level: 4th grade
An Additional Descriptors: Cooperating Teacher, Mrs. Boss
Instruction:
In my Cooperating Teacher's classroom I observed many important details that help engage and motivate her students. She explained to me that all the reading books in her classroom library are AR books that the students can check out, read, and then take an AR test on. She has books above and below the 4th grade reading standard to accommodate all the different levels of learners in her classroom. She has them all color coded for the different levels so the students will know what book grouping they can chose from. This shows she has appropriate reading materials as described in competency 1 section 5 part B.
She also has a display wall that has everyone's name on a tracking sheet. Every time they pass an AR test they get to place a star on their tracking sheet.
She has a bulletin board that displays students artwork based on the readings in the classroom, which is an illustration of competency 1 section 5 part A.
She also has numerous posters hanging around her classroom that describe and illustrate various punctuation, parts of speech, the writing process, and types of writing.
These posters give the students plenty of information to work off of it they need additional help and support.
Instructional Setting:
In my cooperating teacher's classroom she has lots of colorful and informational posters hanging around the room to provide additional support to her student's learning. She has a large variety of books in her classroom library that the students can use. And she has a nice visual display of students work related to the literacy works they are reading from.
