After three years of teaching (all three years 1st grade), I am still establishing a “teaching routine” and figuring out the best strategies in the areas of teaching particular skills and behavior management. Therefore, my goals for five years from now would be much the same; continue teaching a self-contained classroom of 1st graders. I want to feel complete confidence and certainty in my teaching before “moving on” to something different. I feel as if it will take the next five years to feel this complete assurance. Possibly ten years from now I would like to tackle an upper primary grade level self-contained classroom or become a Reading and Writing Specialist.
As of today, most states, (forty-three states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity), have voluntarily adopted these standards.

Feedback. A teacher provides oral or written feedback to student discussion or work. For example, a teacher responds orally to a question asked in class; provides a written comment in a response or reflective journal; or provides feedback on student work.

EVALUATION OF THE LEARNER´S SPOKEN LANGUAGE TASK 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE LEARNERS AND THE LESSON The class I observed is a group of thirteen, 7 years old students at elementary level. They have a 4 hours lesson per week. The received classes twice a week. Their English teacher works with them at regular school, so they feel very confident in the english class and understand when the teacher speak english, even though, they turn to their mother language to explain themselves. In this class the teacher focused in spoken language activities to help the students to introduce themselves and others.
In my opinion, these students are not the only ones who will learn through this journey. Erin and the many students’ lives she and they impact will inspire others like me, even if my fear is only writing. 3.

The three instructional techniques used by Ms. Joanna cooperating teacher are Hands on activities, guided practice, and individualized instruction. Three methods of evaluation/assessment used by Ms. Joanna are progress monitoring, verbal evaluation, and homework.

Teachers take their time to get to know their students.
The group that I have chosen for the observation of this task consisted of intermediate students. They are two boys and nine girls from 10 to 12 years old children who have been studying English for three years in this institution. Most of the pupils are very clever but on the other hand if we focus on the situation we’ll see that in general they need to increase their ability to express themselves. Although if we take advantage of their age, we can teach them many things very easily because they’re always willing to learn. 2.
