What information did you learn through your research that you will apply to the practicum? Provide specific details. TO
BE COMPLETED AFTER RESEARCH!

That when we are teaching to no have that pressure on the students and to not move on to the next part until
everyone has understood.

Learning Goals/Outcomes: What will you understand and/or be able to do as a result of your practicum?

After everything I will gain the experience of teaching a full on class and having the patience to teach a material. And
will help out students that fall behind to explain the material over but slower so they understand.

How will you make a difference in other people’s lives from your journey. What impact do you hope to have?
 The impact that I hope to have is that they open their eyes that there is different ways to solve math problemseven if you
are having trouble to understand the material.

List the steps you will take to complete the practicum and how will you document each and every step for completing
your product (emails, photos, videos, interviews- recorded or transcribed, surveys, phone call logs, etc...). You may add
steps/spaces as needed. A few steps will not do. Think of every possible step.

Step Evidence

Have the class average from the teacher Hard copy evidence

Teach the class (tutor) to them to understand the material Video tap

Take a survey on how good or bad we did and what we shoul change for out tutoring Hard copy & recording

Try to bring in new research to ways on how to make fun games with the material. Hard copy

Go back once again to do a final tutor before a big test Recording

Get another survey hopefully better this time Hard copy and recording

Get the classaverage of before we went in to teach to after we finished to see if the Recording
average has gone up

Edit the video at home to become 5 vlogs The video being turned in

What organization (if any) will you work with and for what purpose?

Learning Stretch: How will this project be a new and meaningful challenge for you?

This is a new meaningful challenge to us because we are shy and nervous people to stand infront of a class to teach
something and maybe be wrong in the way of teachign and making ourselfs look bad.

How will you display your final practicum in your digital portfolio? (Pictures, videos, screencasts, etc…) Remember that
ALL of your evidence must be on your portfolio. An interview must be filmed or have a transcript. Every picture must
have a verbal explanation (screencastify?) Anyone should be able to access your website and be able to understand every
step you took. You saying you did something is not enough. You must have evidence of every step. Be thorough
here!

I will display the final practicum by videos A.K.A blogs to where it shows us teaching and some talking about the
surveys and feedback we got back from the students.
