Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Using the digital presentation that you created in Topic 2, complete the following:

  • Deliver the revised version to at least two teachers and your principal mentor.
  • Provide participants an opportunity to offer you their feedback by administering your evaluation tool. (This could be in the form of a survey or other assessment tool.)

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the principal mentor and, provided permission, seek opportunities to observe and/or assist the principal mentor.

Along with the completed evaluation tools, submit a 250-500 word analysis of the feedback you received from the evaluation after you presented your professional development. Describe how you will apply what you have learned to your future professional practice.

Unit V Journal

Instructions
In this unit, we have focused on revising and editing; understanding expectations; gaining perspective on your writing; ways to outline your paper; the importance of keeping the reader in mind; and how you can best read, process, and respond to feedback. Part of the revision process is sharing with others about what you have experienced. You never know what might help others in their process. Further, sometimes it can help you to better understand and reflect upon your process when you have the opportunity to write it down.
For this unit’s reflection, consider the process you have gone through as you revised your paper so far—the introduction and literature review. What have you found to be most helpful for you? What would you share with others about your process? What techniques, tips, and methods have you used to help the process go more smoothly for you? You can also describe methods that were not as helpful to you and what you would like to do in the future that you think might be better.
Keep in mind that the spirit of this writing is to think about ways that you and others might improve your writing process.
