Over the past couple of months, I have been collecting data in my internship from many different sources such as field notes, shadowing forms, observations, interviews and the articles we found to support our wondering statement. Out of all of the sources I mentioned, I mainly use observation notes as my main source. As my CT teaches, I jot down what I notice about my focus students. How they learn, their behavior in the classroom, and evidence that supports my wondering statement which is "How can I differentiate reading comprehension for students with mixed-abilities?" I also focus on how my CT differentiates her instruction in order to fit the needs of all of her students. I mainly want to focus on how she differentiates during reading to help my wondering. I have also had multiple opportunities to ask my CT questions about differentiation, and how she likes to incorporate it into her instruction. Like I said in my CT interview, she mentioned that she usually differentiates students based on who works well together and their learning styles. Just from observing a few times, I feel that this strategy works well for her and her students, but I would like to see it more often so that I can observe my focus students to see how this works for them. In the next few weeks, I plan on really observing how my CT assigns groups, observe the students to see if this works for them, and decide if the method works for me when I teach them. Below is a picture of my completed "Data Notebook Action Plan Chart" for Week 2 - Week 8 and my action plan for the next four weeks.
