3e:Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness

“Flexibility and responsiveness” refer to a teacher’s skill in making adjustments in a lesson to respond to changing conditions. When a lesson is well planned, there may be no need for changes during the course of the lesson itself. Shifting the approach in midstream is not always necessary; in fact, with experience comes skill in accurately predicting how a lesson will go and being prepared for different possible scenarios. But even the most skilled, and best prepared, teachers will occasionally find either that a lesson is not proceeding as they would like or that a teachable moment has presented itself. They are ready for such situations. Furthermore, teachers who are committed to the learning of all students persist in their attempts to engage them in learning, even when confronted with initial setbacks.

Artifact 3e-1

By revising my own lesson plan, I demonstrate flexibility and readiness to adapt to my students' needs when my initial plan requires adjustment. This aligns with Danielson Framework 3e (Demonstrating Flexibility and Responsiveness), which emphasizes the importance of educators being responsive to student learning needs and adjusting instruction accordingly. This practice prepares me to effectively navigate unexpected challenges and ensure that all students have meaningful learning experiences during my student teaching journey.
