Monitors and adjusts strategies in response to feedback from the student.
This is an example of an exit slip that I had students fill out after a lesson. I often had students fill out exit slips after trying a new game/activity in class. The purpose of this is to gain student insight into whether or not they enjoyed the activity and if they learned anything from it. This connectes to standard 5J because based on the feedback that I received from students, I would adjust the lesson accordingly in the future. Having students complete exit slips like this taught me a lot about my students and helped me create lessons that were enjoyable and engaging for them.

Uses multiple teaching strategies, including adjusted pacing and flexible grouping, to engage students in active learning opportunities that promote the development of critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and performance capabilities.
This is a photo of some of my students participating in a team building exercise. Their goal was to work together to collect as many bean bags as possible, but they can only move via hula hoop train. This connects to standard 5I because students were placed in groups in which they worked cooperatively with their classmates to strategize and accomplish a common goal. Through watching my students complete team building exercises, I learned a lot about them as individuals. I was able to see which students were natural leaders, which were team players, which were patient, which got flustered easily, etc. Completing team building exercises early on in the school year not only helped me learn about my students but helped them get to know each other.
