Nathan Townsend's Documentation of his Teaching and Coursework
Over the course of the semester, we researched and documented rehearsal strategies in a jounal that we could look back to use later in our career. This document is all of the strategies I have documented so far.
These Mini-Rehearsal videos are documentation of work we do in class where simulate a middle school or low high school level ensemble by having our classmates play secondary instruments while we teach them. This gives us a great space to practice and refine our strategies without the risks of doing so with our students. After we finish our Mini Rehearsal, the class debreifs what happened in the rehearsal and the teacher gets feedback from the class as to what they thought went well, and what could be improved.
As a constant practice of reflection, I filled out this rubric for myself to reflect upon how the Mini Teach went, and what I think I should work on improving for future teaching.
