Teaching II Summary     
What is the measure of a good teacher? Danielson’s Framework for Teaching has become the basis at which the effectiveness of a teacher can be measured in a quantifiable way.  The main four domains being planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities. The focus of the Teaching II class at UWM is to address and grow these domains emphasizing that “ Participants will be able to identify components of progress monitoring for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Participants will learn a variety of ways to organize and maintain a Progress Monitoring Binder”  (Progress Monitoring & Record Keeping for the Itinerant Teacher Powerpoint slide 6).  
The class is broken up into three key projects, observations, and self reflections that help individuals grow in Danielson's framework and grow in their abilities to reflect on themselves as a teacher and receive feedback from qualified and experienced mentors. The first project is being able to identify a student and their needs. The second project is gaining skills to make entering observations of a student into an Individualized Education Plan and develop goals appropriately for them. The third project is a formal assessment and instructional video including a self reflection. 
Questions that remain for me as a student are what to do about issues when dealing with other elements that affect students outside of hearing loss such as behavior issues, mental health concerns, lack of family involvement, or underlying issues? I feel as though a million questions pop up in my head each day, but I feel that this course will address many of them. I am most looking forward to using data to making IEP goals that spur students onto greater academic achievement.

Project 1 Self-Advocacy

Project 1 Self Advocacy Goals Summary of Student: Emmanuel is a 6th grade student who relies on his cochlear implant in order to hear. He has bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. He does not hear from his left ear and his right ear has his CI. Emmanuel is meeting grade level expectations in most of his classes. He is able to understand grade concepts and respond appropriately, but does not use correct grammar, spelling, or syntax.

These high frequency sounds are also more common in spoken language and have dramatically impacted his speech and language pro...

On-line Teaching

On-line Teaching Adaptation.     With the unexpected requirement to teach online I was able to give my first lesson today online 4/14/2020. Only one student attended this lesson out of 6 students. I directly contacted two parents and the information was shared on google classroom. This was a practice for being able to teach online in the future. We reviewed Mean, Median, Mode, Range, average, and data. I will be revising this lesson and giving a full version of this recorded online. I wasn’t able to record this lesson, so I took a snapshot of the lesson. After reviewing these key terms I had the student bring up their homework in google classrooms where I was able to review and read through their homework with them. Due to excess background noise and distractions I may keep the classroom size to one on one lessons or two students at a time. I am working on ways to make this engaging and interactive.
