Artifact 2: Scaffolding to Student Needs

I created this Power Point presentation in my Technology for Educators class at Dixie State College during summer semester 2009. This artifact provides evidence of Teaching Dispositions (DM6), because it demonstrates how my knowledge and skills in curriculum design, instruction, and technology can produce student learning. This Power Point presentation shows that I am interested in finding a variety of ways for my students to learn. Each student in my classroom will have different needs that will I will need to scaffold my teaching to in order to provide them with the best education possible within my classroom. For example, by taking the time to learn about different teaching methods, I am showing that I will foster a caring and professional relationship with my students and focus on acceptance and on their individual educational needs. I believe that this is a strong artifact that demonstrates my ability to create effective and meaningful instruction for all my students.
