This document discusses a 4.K competency reflection for a teaching candidate. The reflection requires candidates to analyze how ELL students' classroom and community experiences influence their education. The candidate included a context for learning covering curriculum, demographics, classroom features, assessments, resources and accommodations. Through conversations with ELL students and parents, the candidate learned how school affects families and how to improve experiences. Completing this reflection over two years allowed for analysis of different classrooms and understanding how to best support students based on their influencing factors.

K Competency Reflection
4.K Candidates consistently reflect upon and analyze the classroom,
school, and community experiences of ELLs and how such experiences influence the education of culturally and linguistically diverse populations. In order to show my understanding of this competency I included my context for learning. The context for learning is required when doing practicum through student teaching. This gives candidates an opportunity to analyze the classroom and school community. Students were then expected to choose literacy or mathematics, the context for learning covers the following: the curriculum, demographics for your class and school, the demographics of students, features of the classroom, types of progress tracking, textbooks, resources in the classroom, and accommodations for students with specials needs, IEPs, and or ELL students. Within my advanced practicum, I had two mentor teachers who I will also be working with when I’m doing student teaching. We had multiple conversations about how ELL students and their experiences do influence their education as well as their home life. Throughout my endorsement, I have learned so much about English language learners and how to best support and communicate with them. When working with ELL students, I had multiple conversations with students about how school affects them as well their family. During parent teacher conferences, I was able to listen and collaborate with parents on their concerns and how we can improve their school experience. After conferences, I was able to reflect on my classroom and how I can create the best possible learning environment for students. It is important to recognize what factors can affect a student’s learning and education. This document allows candidates to analyze classrooms and how to create the best understanding of their students and how to accommodate them. In order to make my context for learning more useful, I would make more observations of students as well as pay close attention to how I can best support students. During math, I was able to be an extra support for students. In order to improve my understanding, I would want to use materials and use different teaching strategies in order to best support my students. By completing a context for learning for the past two years, it gave me time to reflect and engage with a variety of classroom as well as students. After much reflecting, as a teacher it’s important to me to understand my classroom and all of the students in it. By being able to reflect, I am able to see how my students are influenced by experiences and how I can create a strong classroom community.
