Standard 7 Artifact

For this teaching standard I chose to use two artifacts that demonstrate my understanding on Instructional Planning. For my second artifact I chose one of the lesson plans I used while teaching a lesson at the Platteville High School. The trangleball unit was by far one of the most difficult for me to create.

Artifact Reflection
Title of Experience/Artifact:

Fitness Unit Plan, Trangleball lesson plan

Date Experience Completed:

Spring 2014 / Fall 2015

Describe your educational experience/artifact:


For this teaching standard I decided to use two artifacts that demonstrate my understanding on
instructional planning. The first artifact I chose to use is a fitness unit plan that I created, I decided to use
this unit plan with my high school class at Lancaster High School. My overall goal was to introduce my
students to all aspects of fitness and leave them with some new ideas to maintain a healthy lifestyle. For
my second artifact I chose one of the lesson plans I used while teaching a lesson at the Platteville High
School. For this assignment I worked with another college classmate to introduce a new sport that the
students have never played before. During the trangleball activities students focused on improving handeye coordination as well as athletic stance.
Wisconsin Teacher Standard Alignment

I believe these artifacts best aligns with Standard 7: Instructional Planning Teachers are
able to plan different kinds of lessons. Standard 7 of the Wisconsin Teacher Development and
Licensure Standards states: The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon
knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals. I chose these
artifacts for teaching standard two because I believe these different artifacts exemplify how
teachers must be able to create a variety of activities even ones they may not be very familiar
with. The trangleball unit was by far one of the most difficult for me to create. I feel much more
confident in designing unit plans and lesson plans. These artifacts helped me become more
responsible and better at planning multiple activities. In my mind these are some of the last steps
for being prepared to become a teacher on your own. This helped teach me about time
management and how crucial it is to know all the steps in preparing a lesson or unit plan.

UW-Platteville School of Education Knowledge, Skills, Dispositions Alignment

I believe these artifacts align with KS1.e. DESIGNS COHERENT INSTRUCTION


Aligns with WSTDL 7 The candidate, with appropriate student input, has the ability to develop
relevant, goal-directed, engaging, clear, and varied learning activities that progress coherently
and produce a unified instructional setting that reflects recent professional research.
I aligned this KSD with standard seven because within my artifacts there is multiple
opportunities for a variety of learning activities that engage students towards new goals. One of
the most important aspects about teaching is being able to create a variety of activities to keep
students engaged. I believe my goals were very clear during both the fitness unit and trangleball
lesson. As a teacher, I always want the expectations to be extremely clear from the beginning of
class this way all my students have the same room for growth.
I believe these artifacts also align with KS2.e. ORGANIZES PHYSICAL SPACE The
candidate has the ability to establish a classroom environment that is safe. Physical resources
will be arranged to best serve the teacher and student in providing productive learning for all
students. I aligned this KSD with standard seven because these artifacts helped me stay
organized within the provided gym space. With proper instructions for trangleball the gameplay
went very smoothly and remained safe even with the use of throwing racquetballs at a triangular
object. Also within my fitness unit my students needed to understand spacing between other

students especially during the jump-rope segment. I was able to establish an environment that
was not only fun but also productive for all students.

Explain what you learned about teaching/learning from this experience:

These two artifacts were by far some of the most complex items Ive worked on during
my college career. These artifacts taught me that it is very important to be over-prepared with
optional activities for students. The moment one student begins to think something is boring or
losses interest, typically the rest of the class will start to follow. That is why it is always
important to have a couple extra activities up your sleeve to provide smooth transitions.
Explain what you learned about yourself as a prospective educator as a result of this
experience/artifact:

From these experiences, Ive learned that I am able to create a lesson plan on a subject
that I may not be very familiar with, that still provided results. With this experience, I have
enhanced my classroom spacing skills and developed a better understanding for instructional
planning. During this process I came to realize one of my better strengths, which is breaking
things down into terms or cues that can be more familiar to students everyday life. Having a few
different ways to explain things is never a bad thing because everyone learns differently. One of
the other things I learned about myself during this experience, is that it is ok if everything
doesnt go as planned at first, because by the second time around I will be able to adapt and fix
situations to help instruction run more smoothly.
