Overall Educational Objective | How to observe the records of mentor teachers, assist them with education and training-related services, and provide practice-based teaching. | |||||
Course Description | After successfully completing your first two years of university courses, prospective teachers will be placed as full-time assistant teachers in the classrooms of master teachers working at our partner schools. Teacher candidates in these classes: (a) observe the master teacher's experiences, (b) to assist the master teacher in matters relating to education and training, (c) tutor secondary school students who need academic support, (d) complete practice-based assignments and assignments related to university courses, and (d) will perform similar duties assigned by the master teacher and lecturer. The tasks assigned to the assistant teacher may vary according to the level and subject of the class. However, all teacher assistants must fulfill the following two duties: (1) to carefully observe the performances of the master teacher/mentors. (2) To support low-achieving secondary school students to be successful by running lessons and to learn by experience. | |||||
Course Description in Turkish | Ilk iki yıllık üniversite derslerinizi başarıyla tamamladıktan sonra, öğretmen adayı öğrenciler işbirliği yaptığımız okullarda çalışan usta öğretmenlerin sınıflarında tam zamanlı asistan öğretmen olarak yerleştirilecektir. Bu sınıflarda öğretmen adayları: (a) usta öğretmenin deneyimlerini gözlemleyecek, (b) eğitim ve öğretime ilişkin durumlarda usta öğretmene yardım edecek, (c) akademik desteğe ihtiyaç duyan ortaokul öğrencilerine ders çalıştıracak, (d) üniversite dersleri ile ilgili pratik tabanlı görev ve ödevleri tamamlayacak, ve (d) usta öğretmen ve öğretim üyesi tarafından verilen benzer görevleri yerine getirecek. Öğretmen yardımcısına verilen görevler sınıfın seviyesi ve konusuna göre değişebilmektedir. Fakat tüm öğretmen yardımcıları şu iki göre vi mutlaka yerine getirmelidir: (1) usta öğretmenin/mentorlerinin performanslarını dikkatlice gözlemlemek. (2) düşük başarı gösteren ortaokul öğrencilerine ders çalıştırarak başarılı olmalarına destek vermek ve bunu deneyimleyerek öğrenmek. |

Homework and Projects | Weekly Diaries (7 x 2 = 14) Themes will also be shared at meetings: Weekly themes Getting to know the school and classroom context, reporting first impressions Information about students and mentor teacher Being a professional - what does a mentor teacher do every day? Classroom Management Teaching strategies Teacher questioning techniques Implementation of mathematical tasks (cognitive demands of tasks) Using teacher technology parent meeting Professional development meeting Lesson Plan Meetings (group meetings) What you learned about teaching this semester Observations (7x 2 = 14%) The instructor(s) observe the teacher assistant at the partner school 7 times. Portfolio Content (22%) Your teaching philosophy Weekly Magazines Lesson plans you helped create (proof of quality improvement) Examples of student work you have worked with (one-on-one or in small groups, evidence of student growth as a result of your work may be included) Evidence: Video and audio recordings and photographs (with permission from the school administration) Mathematical task analysis of small group instruction Manager or mentor teacher feedback or grades (if relevant) Extra curricular activities at school (aiding a student club or joining a field trip, etc.) Technological tools or practices you have learned to use as a result of your experience this year provide evidence Course Assignments Below is a description of some assignments Analysis of the implementation of a class math task (2X 10% = 20%) For this assignment, you are asked to design/adapt a math task in collaboration with your mentor teacher and observe its implementation in the classroom. The purpose of this assignment is to develop abilities for the preparation of a mathematical task and to observe the details of its implementation. Analysis of video recordings of small group instructions (2 X 10% = 20%) You are asked to present a plan for your small group teaching and analyze your performance (basically the quality of your questions, the way you responded to student thinking during your performance). Depending on the permission from the school, you can use the audio or video recording. Details about the assignment will be given during the semester. For ELE 302 students, they will conduct an analysis of the whole classroom teaching, rather than 2 small group teaching videotapes. Teaching Mathematics (30 minutes) For this assignment, you are required to give a math lesson towards the end of the semester. The purpose of this assignment is to offer students the opportunity to plan a lesson, teach a lesson to students, and reflect on your teaching following the lesson. During this application, the pre-service teacher can be observed by the mentor teacher and the course instructor. Test preparation (5%) The teacher assistants will try to develop a test for the students in the mentor teacher's lesson with the help of the mentor teachers. They will also try the grading of the exam and analyze student work. Presentation (5%) Each prospective teacher presents their portfolio within 30 minutes to reflect on their experience. She presents her evidence to academics/students in the department/academic teachers, using her evidence in the portfolio. | |||||||||||||||||||||
