Florida State University Clinical Experience Reflection Paper

 Clinical Experience Reflection Paper

Description: Teachers who reflect on their own teaching practice enhance their delivery of

instruction, and thus improve student-learning outcomes. Reflecting on the teaching practices of

others is equally important and helps with the acquisition and development of instructional

approaches.

Directions: During your clinical experience placement, observe the cooperating teacher in

working with students with autism spectrum disorders. Write a one-page journal entry reflecting

on the varying types of assessment measures used for evaluating student behavior and learning

performance in the classroom. Be sure to include examples and non-examples in your

reflection. Your reflection paper should address the following statements:

1. Explain the varying types of assessment measures that are implemented during delivery

of instruction and transitions between tasks and settings.

uses for assessing student levels, needs, performance and learning.

3. Discuss how the teacher adapts and modifies assessment instruments to accommodate

the unique abilities and individual needs of students.

4. Explain how you will use varying types of assessment instruments for future classroom

practice. You should provide specific examples to support your explanation.
