I didn't get to do a lot of clerical and preparation work while I was in the classroom because the teacher I was doing my hours with was very organized and was usually always completely prepared for the day. On a few occasions she did let me check the homework off from the week before and write it in her score book. I corrected the students fast facts and scored them for her too.
The preparations I did were just making copies for the fast facts that the kids were working on and the spelling groups. The students were just starting to work on times tables and she had me copy the times table sheets that she wanted them to take home for homework after they did the fast facts in class to see what they understood and the areas they needed to work on.
This goes along with assessment in the classroom as well. She would teach a concept then give the students an assignment and when they were finished, she would have them check it as a class and discuss the assignment to make sure they understood the concept they had learned.
The thing I loved was it was not always by worksheets, she had the students assess their learning using the different learning modalities on more than one occasion I was there by working in groups, acting out definitions, using blocks for math and many other things.
