classroom, and students you worked with for your

edTPA

COMPLETING THE

ASSIGNMENT

Remember

▪You will not be able to complete every question

because you are in fieldwork, not student

teaching when you spend every day in the

classroom

▪The goal is to feel more comfortable with this

one small part of the edTPA

Read over the first page

Just answer the questions that

you can. You will leave some

blank or put NA.

Remember the purpose is to

give you practice so you

already know this form when

you are completing the edTPA

When you are in student

teaching, you will be there

every day—you will know

more details

Have a discussion with your CT

▪You can let your CT know that you will have a few questions about some of the students who need specific supports

▪Aim to talk to your teacher in the third or fourth visit, so you have had some time to watch and gather your own ideas about the students

▪ If you were late getting started in your placement or weather or holidays have delayed your placement, don’t worry. Just send your professor an email with FW1 “Context for Learning” in the subject line. Let your professor know the date when you can have the assignment completed.

Ask your CT

about needs

of studentsSome districts will let

you look at IEPs/504s

or summary

information about

students with special

needs. Some districts

will not let you do this.

Either way is okay.

Just by watching

students in the first few

fieldwork visits, you will

be able to identify

some needs that you

see.

Enter your responses on the

template that let’s you type into it.

You should have already

downloaded it from Blackboard
