1. Description of exemplar and how it demonstrates meeting this ACEI Standard and
Elements.

During my field placement at Waikiki Elementary School, I created this lesson to
go along with the concept of doubling that our classroom was learning in the current unit.
I came up with the concept of a Doubling Book, based on prior experience with
burnishing I had in an art class I once took. My lesson incorporated this art of burnishing
in order to create a duplicate copy of an object drawn with pencil.

This exemplar meets the standard element by addressing learning theory. My
lesson included the I do, we do, you do model. It was hands on for student learning.


2. Reflection on my professional growth in knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to the
ACEI Standard and Element(s).

I gained the skill of preparation and disposition of communication. Preparing for
this lesson required me to collaborate and communicate with my mentor for it to fall
within the content of the unit. I also had to carefully prepare my lesson because I wanted
the main focus to be on the doubling concept and not the art of creating a book. Students
were engaged and amazed at the concept. I gained knowledge of my ability to plan and
execute a successful lesson.
