The document provides instructions for a clinical field experience assignment involving student goal setting. Students will observe a math or English language arts lesson to identify learning objectives. They will then guide a small group of 2-3 students through setting personal educational goals related to the objectives. Goals will be documented using a goal setting form for each student. Students will also reflect on how the goal setting process fosters student ownership and independence in learning, and how it relates to self-directed learning. Finally, students will create long-term educational goals, assessments, and reflect on the correlation between objectives and goals.

1. 1. Clinical Field Experience B: Educational Goals
Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field
experience.
Review the “Student Personal Educational Goal Setting Form”
to complete this assignment.
Modeling and guiding students through the goal setting process
can be a time consuming, but extremely valuable experience.
The deeper the understanding that students have, and the more
practice they get, the more natural goal setting and self-
assessment will become.
Part 1: Educational Goals
For this field experience, you will be working in the same
classroom setting as in Clinical Field Experience A. Observe a
math or English language arts lesson and identify the learning
objectives delivered during instruction.
Following your observation, work with your mentor teacher to
identify a small group of 2-3 students. Guide them through the
process of setting educational goals directly related to the
learning objectives identified in the lesson.
Have a discussion with the students about their understanding of
the learning objectives. Use the “Student Personal Educational
Goal Setting Form” to guide each student independently to set
educational goals from the learning objectives. Reflect with
students individually through this process, guiding them to
formulate their own educational goals. Complete a “Student
Personal Educational Goal Setting Form” for each student in
your small group.

2. Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor
teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your experience
guiding the students through setting their personal education
goals.
How does this process foster student ownership and
independence in their own learning?
What is the correlation between creating personal education
goals and self-directed learning?
How can you use this process in your future professional
practice?
Submit the “Student Personal Educational Goal Setting Form”
and reflection as one deliverable.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is
expected.

3. 2. Learning Objectives versus Personal Educational Goals
Identifying the correlation between learning objectives and
educational goals is crucial in guiding students to take
ownership of their learning. Educational goals are broader and
long-term, whereas learning objectives are specific and short-
term.
Fostering student ownership helps students to understand and
set long-term educational goals to continuously monitor their
own learning. This process allows students to participate in
assessing their own progress and helps the teacher in adjusting
learning outcomes.
Review the “Learning Plan Template” to complete this
assignment.
Complete Part 3: Learning Objectives versus Educational Goals
Part 1: Learning Objectives versus Personal Educational Goals
Using the grade level, academic standard, and learning
objectives from your Clinical Field Experience A observation,
create a long-term individual educational goal.
Along with creating a long-term educational goal, develop one
formative assessment and one summative assessment to check
for understanding and complete “Part 2: Learning Objectives
versus Educational Goals.”
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, research and reflect on the correlation
between learning objectives and educational goals. Consider the
following in your reflection:

4. What is the significance of engaging students in achieving their
educational goals?
How can formative and summative assessments support the
desired learning outcomes to achieve long-term goals and drive
modifications in instruction to meet student needs?
How do assessments help to develop appropriate differentiation
based on students learning needs?
Does the teacher have a personal responsibility to align
instruction with goals?
When setting educational goals, why is it important to consider
input from students, colleagues, families, and the community?
Research and provide an example of how technology can
provide learning experiences and assessments that inform
instruction and involve students in goal-setting, ownership of
learning, and progress monitoring.
Support your findings with at least three scholarly resources.
Submit the “Learning Plan Template” with your reflection as
one deliverable.
