A journal entry (400 words, single spaced) is required for assigned fieldwork videos. Observations of fieldwork videos should be described in sufficient detail and, should specifically identify and analyze any strategies that were observed to support learning of content. Challenges, successes, insights, or other observations should be recorded. Connections to assigned readings and tools from manual should be evidenced in each entry.

To obtain the maximum points, refer to the online rubric for this assignment and the following guiding questions to further guide your analysis of these fieldwork videos-What was the goal of the lesson? If not stated, what do you think the target learning goal was for students? What strategies were used to make content accessible? Does the teacher support student learning by asking open-ended questions, guiding the learning process, and providing objective constructive feedback? How so? How did the teacher engage students? What were they doing, making, writing and/or discussing to make their thinking visible? How were the strategies implemented? How was student learning measured? Were students successful or not? Why? Did you make explicit connections to assigned readings for the week and tools from manual? If you had the opportunity to tutor a child in this classroom on the same content, what strategies would you utilize, adapt or change and why?
