Abstract

As part of the Early Childhood Education internship and edTPA performance-based assessment, I designed lesson plans to support my internship students’ strengths and needs, engaged these students in ambitious learning, analyzed whether the students are truly learning, and adjusted my instruction to become a more effective educator. In addition to written preparation and responses, I also filmed myself teaching three lesson plans that I created. These videos have allowed me to reflect on my strengths and areas for growth in teaching, as well as see what the students understood or did not understand. I began the preparation for this project in November 2022, and completed it March 2023. My Internship II is in a first grade classroom at a Fort Mill School District campus. I have been with the class since August 2022, so I have been learning from my Mentor Teacher and our students for the entire school year.
