Standard 2: Demonstrates knowledge of subject
matter and how to teach it to students
Evidence1: keeps current in the subject
matter and executes lessons that demonstrate knowledge of the most recent
strategies, methodologies, terminology and concepts in the
field
Context: Word
wall using recent vocabulary within the course
Reflection:
The
word wall is an actual wall I painted black at the start of the year. Painting
it black it acted like a chalkboard and I felt it added a nice creative touch to
the room. As I introduce new terms students are eager to get a chance to draw
the vocabulary word of their choice on the wall. These buzz words are common in
the art content area.
Goals: I
feel the word wall could be more useful if more attention was brought to it.
Maybe for extra credit points to define all the words, or competitive games
could be created out of the word wall.
Evidence2: Uses a variety of resources and
technology to deliver content and develop basic and higher level thinking
skills.
Context: The
picture on the left has a LCD projection displayed. The picture on the right
shows a student using photoshop
Reflection: In both lessons
students get excited to try new assignments outside of paper and pencil.
When
using the LCD projector I simply displayed students LIVE feed of them working on
their edible color wheel. Before they ate and enjoyed their wheel they saw their
peers on a slideshow.
Even though the school I currently teach at doesn’t offer graphic design class I find it important to be up with the 'times' or even ahead. In the photo to the right I have a young student manipulating their original drawing into a logo for their final design.
Goals: I hope to be able to have more resources for all students to use at once. That way I could teach all students not just a select few.
Evidence3: Involves students in discovering the relationships among concepts, theories and the outside interests of students
Context:
picture of international day where students were able to come together and make
one piece of art together.
Reflection: This was a great day
for me and my students we shared our backgrounds and learned more about others.
Students were proud of their work.
Goals: To do this type of assignment more often and not just for international day
Evidence4: Demonstrates knowledge of subject matter and how to teach it to students/ Presents information in the lesson accurately and appropriately for the grade level
