Art Reflect 1

This artifact is a child study that interns were asked to complete by observing, analyzing, and taking notes on a student in their mentor teacher's classroom. The study included gathering information on the student's history, social behavior, and academic interests from observations and from guidance counselors. The child study aligned with teaching standard 1 by requiring consideration of each student's individual needs and backgrounds. By learning about the student's ADHD and social challenges through the study, the intern was able to group the student with peers who could help meet their needs. The child study focused on the planning, assessment, and analysis aspects of the teaching model by allowing observation, tracking progress, and determining goals for student success.

Artifact Reflection: InTasc 1 – Child Study


This artifact is the Child Study. To achieve completion of this artifact, interns were
asked to select a student from one of their mentor’s classrooms. Once the student was selected,
interns were then prompted to observe, analyze and notate the student’s history, social
behavior and academic interest. This artifact was developed through the guided notation of
the student’s behaviors in the classroom combined with the student’s history received from their
guidance counselor in the building. The student is not made aware of this study at any point in
time, and the student’s name has been modified to ensure their confidentiality.
The Child Study artifact is aligned with InTasc standard 1, which states that “the
teacher understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and
development vary individually within and across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and
physical areas, and designs and implements developmentally appropriate and challenging
learning experiences.” This artifact aligns with this standard because it asks practicing educators
to consider the specific needs of their varying students. Because every classroom is comprised of
a variety of identities, it is crucial to consider how each student’s personal and academic
background play a role in determining who they are. The information I gathered during my study
allowed me the knowledge I needed to address my student’s needs while I was teaching.
This artifact contributes to positive student learning because it demands that the intern
consider the educational methodology that would best suit the student’s particular set of
challenges and strengths. Because I was made aware of my student’s ADHD, and the social set-
backs that I had witnessed firsthand, I was able to group him with students who complimented
his needs, thus allowing him the learning environment that he deserves.
The Child Study demonstrates the planning-teaching style of JPTAAR. Because this
artifact focuses primarily on the distant observation of one student’s behavior and background,
the vast majority of this assignment focused on the planning, assessment and analysis portions of
JPTAAR. By observing the student, I was offered the time I needed to plan for their best success,
I was able to track his successes through assessment and I concluded a general understanding of
the student’s performance through a final analysis, which determined what goals the student
should attempt to meet and how they could achieve them.
