Benchmark Reflection Essay

Reflection particularly involves looking at the things an individual has experienced, how
they felt about it, what they learn and how they can handle the same situation differently in the
future. Through reflection an individual has an opportunity grow and develop critical thinking
skills. The thriving of young children is promoted when there is a positive and secure
relationship with knowledgeable adults who support their learning and development (Hamre et
al.,2012). During the clinical field practicum, I noted a number of things from my mentor. The
manner in which she taught the kindergarten students how to read pattern book. Aiding the
students in expressing themselves and learning to write by doing journals with them. She made
sure that the students read each day independently and read one more minute more each day than
the previous day. The students were guided on reading pictures and assisted in reading what they
saw in the picture. The students put what they read each day into the reading log. The students
have different centers in which they would be involved in different activities. At one center the
students were reading silently to themselves, at other, they would be writing words that are
selected for them in the picture. The third center the mentor would have students with her, and
they will be reading the book together and the last center the students will be doing some
alphabet while others are on the computer doing Starfall. She also assessed the reading ability of
the students.
The mentor maintained professionalism throughout the practicum through reflecting on
his practicing and basing it on the research on teaching. The evaluation which she made was the
effect of her decisions on the students, family and the professionals in the learning community.
She related well with other professions in the elementary education as well as students and
parent which bolstered her learning opportunity professionally. The excellent relationship with

the parent was encouraged and improved through appreciating their support and involvement in
the education of their children.More so, providing parents with the weekly achievement of their
children by detailing what they are learning and what has been accomplished and asking more
about the children to understand what they like and do outside the school and how it can
influence or promote their learning (Clements & Sarama, 2011). I was able to benefit from this
observation as I understood the best way to grow and evade problems in behaving and acting
professionally in the learning environment and with all relevant stakeholders. Thus, it is
paramount to establish and maintain a positive relationship. The growth of the students and
wellbeing regarding physical, emotional, social and intellectual was promoted by good
collaboration with colleagues, families and community agencies. More so, through this
collaboration, the needs of the students can be identified and responded effectively as there is
maximum sharing of resources and children can learn and develop in healthy ways and ways by
the family and community culture. Besides having improved behaviors, the students benefit
from this collaboration by gaining better social skills, a better relationship with parents, adapting
well to school, high attendance, high self-esteem, completion of homework consistently.
Therefore, better behaviors impact education positively through good achievements
academically.
The lesson plan utilized by the mentor was inclusive of the goals and objectives, the
learning materials, assessment and follow up. The objectives of the lessons were clearly defined
and by the educational standards. Specific goals were delineated which should be attained by ...
