Thoughts on TPE 1
Through observation and discussion with my students I was able to gain significant information on my student’s backgrounds including their cultural and linguistic, family and home backgrounds, SEL support, health, assets and funds of knowledge, as well as interests and aspirations. This is helpful information as I go into planning my lessons. Understanding my students’ assets and how they affect instruction is crucial to being able to support my students in their education. Maintaining an asset mindset as I approach my lesson planning and support for students is imperative.
