Clinical Field Experience A

Part 1: Observation and Collaboration

Ask additional and follow-up questions as appropriate.

With the help of your mentor teacher, identify 3-5 students above, at, or below standard

achievement in the classroom environment that would benefit from additional learning support.

Obtain from your mentor teacher the unit and standards the class is currently learning, in order

to prepare for future clinical field experience assignments.

This portion was not applicable as access to a live classroom with a teacher is not available

DIBELS assessment, matrix, procedures, guidelines, and measurements will assess the

student's acquisition for literacy such as assessing alphabetic, phonemic, accuracy,

comprehend and fluency in their reading ability. Thereafter, the DIBELS assessment will

provide a summary of results per students DIBELS assessment to inform the teacher where

the student is at academically with includes abilities/strengths, weakness/barriers and were

level. The scores of the DIBELS will also provide the teacher with a pathway of which they
