Minor Work Sample—Grammar
As a part of the student teaching program of NCU, I created a work sample of twelve lessons that I taught to a fifth grade class.

Along with each lesson plan and the materials required, my work sample also includes assessments of the students, the standards to be met by the students in each lesson, important information about the school environment, and several pieces of reflection on my own teaching experiences during the work sample.

How to use Both Art & Music in Classroom Management and Transitions
Classroom management is a part of any classroom. You can either invest the time before, or spend it consistently throughout the school year. Better to spend the time at the beginning of the year than waste it throughout the school year. We believe that you can integrate both music and art through the use of transitions. There are many ways to use both art and music and we plan to discuss many ways in which it can be done.
