EPC 2903 Teaching Practice Booklet

After the Task - Reflection

Reflect on the routine of the classroom and how it is was effective with the students? Explain how this routine will affect student learning ina KG class

The routine is importin in the classroom because it improves children skill, make them feel comfortable, and learn what they will do everyday. Also the
routine helps children to organize and to develop memory skill. Without routine the class is not a good environment to learn. Children will learn time
management

Activity Two: Planning for/Developing Routines and Procedures

Plan the routines for one of your classes. The activity expects that you will teach the class. It may be a class that you teach for an observation by your
MST/MCT or just a practice class that you teach with the permission of your MST. The lesson can be incorporated as one of your formal observations if
your MST/MCT decides. In order to complete the activity you are required (whether the lesson is one of your formal observations or not) to fill in and
submit the planning sheet below.
Before you begin to complete the table talk a little bit about the class/lesson in which this plan for routines is to be used. Include:
Lesson objectives
Main activities in the lesson
Grouping of students during each main activity
Behaviour expected during each activity (e.g. sharing resources; changing stations; presenting)
Where are the transitions in the lesson? What are they: (e.g. moving from plenary to group work between main activity one and main activity
two)

After the Task - Reflection

Choose 3 best practices you observed during your time in school. Reflect on these and consider why you could implement these in a UAE KG classroom
in the future. Explain how these practices will affect student learning in a KG class.

The best practices that I notice during my TP is morning exercise and song of the day, because the first one help children
develop fine motor skill and gross motor skill , and the day song help children to learn the day of the week by singing .
Also routine is best practice because that help children to know how to management .
 Informational Tasks
1- Look more closely at
the instructions that the teacher gives while introducing the learning centers:
If possible, video/pictures or audio record the teacher while she gives instructions.
Write the sentences of the instructions that the teacher gives.

In circle time children have to cross your legs, and be Quiet, listen to the
teacher, if I ask them question the children have to raise their hand
Write your own instructions for one of your own lesson plans.
All eyes in me, listen to the question and that raise your hand.

2- Describe the purpose of diagnostic assessment.

A) Identify the diagnostic tests the teacher uses in your TP placement. These might be check lists, written observations.
Photograph blank diagnostics, scan, print and or upload to your e-portfolio.

uses the chick list and take notice when she observes them.

B) Look over the diagnostics again and identify which diagnostics are norm referenced, criterion referenced, comparison of
students ability, comparison of student progress.

Form the notice she will know the abilities

3- Classroom Management
 1. Describe two times when your classroom management was successful. Describe the situation, learning objective and what the
students were doing. Why was your management successful?

In the first time when I explain for them the activity before they move to the center that was successful and that help me to
management my time. And the second when I used role before the start circle time that help me to control children behavior.

2. Describe something you would like to improve about your classroom management (using routines, giving instructions, dealing
with disruptive behavior, managing groups,) Give suggestions (or talk to your MST or MCT) to improve your classroom

The transition was not good and I need to work more in that point.
