Observation of various adult learning strategies equips instructional coaches with foundational skills to be effective in their role. As an instructional coach, your role will be to seek change in teacher practices to help meet diverse student needs in a global classroom environment.
Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this clinical field experience.
For this assignment, observe the current teaching practices of your mentor and at least one other experienced teacher at your field experience site. Note the use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources used to support an increasingly diverse student population.
Following the observation with your mentor teacher, discuss the following:
- School or district vision of technology infusion.
- Current school or district technology leadership.
- Support of technology skills provided for teachers and students.
- Practical and effective ways to encourage change in teacher practices related to technology infusion.
- Potential obstacles that may impede improvements on teaching practices and technology infusion.
Use the remaining field experience hours to assist either teacher in providing instruction and support to their class.
In 250-500 words, summarize your observations and the discussion you had with your mentor teacher. Reflect on how you will support diverse student populations with existing and emerging digital tools in your future professional practice.
