Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Instruction and Intervention
Deliver the literacy skills lesson you developed with your mentor teacher in “Clinical Field Experience A” to the group of students for whom it was designed. During instruction, informally assess the students, identifying those who are grasping the information and those who would benefit from additional intervention.
Collaborate with the mentor teacher to develop 2-3 interventions based on your informal assessment data to support one or more students’ continued skill development. Detail at least one intervention that can be incorporated in the inclusive classroom and at least one intervention to be utilized at home. Describe the roles of teachers/family members and the student in the description of each intervention.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your experiences delivering the literacy lesson, informally assessing the students, and collaborating with the teacher to develop the additional interventions. Explain the interventions you developed and how you expect them to meet the needs of the students, incorporating their assessment results in your response. Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Rationale
It is usually difficult to use the same lesson plan when dealing with students with different issues or with a group of students with different skills. Therefore, the creation of a lesson plan should consider various aspects, like the different skill sets of the students. It should consider the lower or higher skill sets of all the students in the group. The assessment of students should be done frequently to determine the gains that have been made by the students. Assessment is a feedback mechanism that lets the teacher know the progress of the student (Bolden et al., 2020). The lesson plan uses mastery tests as part of the assessment to determine the progress of the students. The lessons have to be taught in different ways to be effective for the group. The Eel student’s level of mastery is different from that of the other students. Therefore, different techniques will be used for the different students.
There are supplemental activities like music being used to engage the students. Music is universal and can be used by students with different needs. The students are able to join in the songs as they understand the words. Pictures are effective in showing the students the different characters and parts of the story. Pictures are also used to help the students remember what they have already learned in class. Graphic organizers are used to aid in the comparison of various aspects, ensuring that students improve their comprehension.
