Assist your mentor teacher with teaching at least one social studies lesson. Take note of the use of social studies text and other print and non-print resources, as well as how the mentor teacher differentiates the instruction. After the teaching experience, speak with your mentor teacher about how he or she differentiates instruction to address the learning needs of the students in a class.

In addition, collaborate with your mentor teacher to review the social studies textbook and other print materials and non-print resources that are used to teach social studies in your clinical field experience classroom. Analyze the text, materials, and resources to determine what opportunities or supports are provided for teachers to address cultural relevance and differentiated learning.
