Teaching Practicum: Doherty Memorial High School, Spring 2016

Public

This Report is written for the completion of my practicum. I completed the practicum in the Spring 2016 semester and have written this report in A-Term, 2016. The report can be broken down into four major sections: background information on the Massachusetts education system, an argument for my proficiency in what the Massachusetts DoE calls the "essential elements" of teaching, a discussion of my WPI education and the demographics of my classes, and appendices. The twofold purpose of the report is (a) to argue for my proficiency in the essential elements and (b) to demonstrate readiness for a Massachusetts teaching certification. Chapters 2-7 satisfy the first purpose; the rest of the report satisfies the latter.

This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
