ECS 565 Week 4  Practicum C: Intervention Activity Implementation- Social Development

Allocate at least 8 hours in the field to support this practicum/field experience.

Complete this assignment within the “Practicum C” section of your “Case Study Analysis Template.”

Part 1: Social Development Mini-Lesson

The children within the age range you are observing should be communicating with peers through learning opportunities at a developmentally appropriate level. Your observations should provide a picture of the social development of the child within the learning environment.

Create a mini-lesson to implement with a group or class that includes the child. Review your observations to determine where the child is meeting social development milestones and where additional support might be beneficial. Use this pre-assessment data to develop a lesson plan that includes two social development activities. Your mini-lesson should include an outline of the following lesson components:

1. Objectives
2. Resources or Materials
3. Activities
4. Assessment

Once your mini-lesson is developed, share it with your mentor teacher, make appropriate changes based on his or her feedback, and then implement the lesson activity. After implementing your lesson activity, compile results of the aligned assessment to compare to the pre-assessment data and to document progress.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, reflect upon working with your mentor teacher to create your mini-lesson, implement feedback, and discuss assessment data. In addition, rationalize your instructional decisions and reflect upon implementation of your lesson activities. Address how the unique background and social developmental needs of the child were addressed within the learning activities.

Use any remaining practicum/field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
