Clinical field experience c: professional development for improving

In order to provide effective professional development, feedback is needed. This assignment asks that you share your professional development presentation with your principal mentor and obtain feedback so that you can improve the session.

Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Share the professional development presentation and evaluation with your principal mentor. Ask your principal mentor for specific feedback on how you could improve the session, engage teachers, and create accountability.

Additionally, share your presentation and evaluation with a peer or similar grade-level teacher. Ask them to review your presentation and discuss with them how it would be presented to a group. Use the evaluation as a guide to explore how you could improve the professional development.  

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the principal mentor and, provided permission, seek opportunities to observe and/or assist the principal mentor.

Complete a 250-500 word reflection on your experiences. Incorporate PSEL Standards 6 and 7 into your reflection, along with any additional PSEL standards you choose, and describe how you will apply what you have learned to your future professional practice.

Submit your reflection along with your notes from each interview as one deliverable.

APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, but solid academic writing is expected. The PSEL standards should be referenced using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
