Title
513 Clinical Field Experience B: Supporting a Positive Student-Centered Culture: The purpose of this assignment is to discover strategies for promoting, collaborating, and communicating the school mission and vision. Additionally, you should also gain insight into the effect of vision and mission as a factor in the current school culture and be able to apply this experience to future roles. (Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience. Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form)
At your field experience school, observe two teachers teaching in their classrooms. Analyze specific classroom routines, activities, and environmental factors, and the degree to which they support a positive student-centered culture.
Following the observations, write two research-based recommendations for one teacher to promote a more positive student-centered culture. Incorporate 1-2 evidence-based research articles as the basis for each of your recommendations.
In your recommendations include:
1. A description of the strategy and its purpose, relating it to the observations that you made.
2. How to implement the strategy.
3. Anticipated effects of the strategy.
4. How the recommendation aligns to the school’s vision.
Submit the recommendations to your principal mentor for feedback.
Use any remaining field experience hours to observe or assist the principal mentor.
Write a 500-word reflection of your observations, recommendations, and feedback received from the principal mentor. Consider how you would share these strategies with the teacher you observed.
Incorporate PSEL Standard 5 and/or Standard 6 and describe how you will apply what you have learned to your future professional practice. APA style format. Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.
Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form to the LMS in the last topic. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center.
