Artifacts and Characteristics of the Novice Teacher #4
Characteristic #4 of a novice teacher, focuses on the idea that a teacher needs to be a facilitator of learning for all students. My unit was planned on the idea that students differ in their approaches to learning, because I believe that all students bring different experiences and knowledge to the classroom. Also while planning this unit I made sure that I created activities that addressed the needs of my diverse classroom of learners. My artifact is a unit plan that I created for my CHPR class about nutrition. I believe that this artifact demonstrated the learning for all types of students because I created and provided the students with lessons and activities that helped them look at their own personal experiences and their everyday lives in relations to nutrition. I focused on keeping the activity exciting by motivating the students with different popular foods and restaurants that I knew they were familiar with.

I also created a unit plan for CHPR 301. I chose to put my artifact under characteristic number 7. I now see how this artifact can be placed under characteristic 1. I think that it is very beneficial that you kept your activities and lessons focused on the students personal experiences. This is a big thing that many teachers overlook when planning lessons. When students can relate to a lesson, the more interested they become. I forgot to ask you a question when I wrote my blog so here is my question: What other characteristics do you think this artifact could fall under?
