SPCE 376 Literacy Assessment

Description

For this assignment, we were required to assess a student in your practicum placement on the five different pillars of reading- phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. It was our job to create an assessment, that was an appropriate measure, based on the students academic and grade level needs.

Rationale

I chose to ties this artifact in to InTASC 6. The reason I picked InTASC 6 was because it is a ·  formal tests for the classroom. It is also the carbon copy of a work sample that the student filled out. The assessment itself asks questions a a variety of different ways, testing the students’ abilities. It is a blank copy of the assessment that is, given to the school and is kept as a record for student and parent conferences.

SPCE 361 Halloween 5 Senses Lesson Plan

Description

My middle school students, were learning about their five senses, and how to use their five senses, in order to write essays- while using imagery. The focus of this lesson, the object itself, was a pumpkin. We then described the pumpkin in class using our five senses. This lesson we took it a step farther, the students started writing  a story/paragraph, about the pumpkin. But first, we need to discussed how to write sentences using imagery—and the difference between sentences with good imagery, and sentences that do not. Imagery allows us to experience something/ see something that is not right in front of us—it uses specific details that make us feel like we expericenced it.

Rationale

I chose to link this artifact  to InTASC 4 (2011)-DP3. The reason for this was because it was a lesson plan that correlate with state curriculum and showed the goals and objectives of the lesson. This specific lesson from a unit plan that was  built and designed around a central question, which is– how do we incorporate imagery into our essays.

EDPS 345 Data Dashboard

Description

For this assignment our job was to create an Excel Spreadsheet Data Dashboard and it was to contain all the grades from ONE our courses that we took this semester—and it was our job to create an (imaginative) classroom list, and fill the gradebook with the grades from this classroom list. We did this with homework assignments, projects, quizzes, and tests—and we had to do this for at least ten students; it was basic summative calculations of aggregate (whole class) as well as the individual performance (averages, percents, etc.). We also create a grading scale, that we used to convert the accumulated score as well is a having to give each student not only an overall letter grade, but also an individual letter grades for each of the different assignment. We needed to create were graph, but they had to be graphs that actually meant something, we had to have graph for each individual as well as a cumulative classroom graph. The final requirement was that we had to design the Data Dashboard for everyday use—meaning that it had to be easy to use and easy to adapt.

Rationale

I chose to put this artifact under InTASC 6, was because it is essentially a grade book. It is a method the I have learned to make and follow, that will better assist me with monitoring my students progress, and allows me to create simple, and easy to understand charts, that compare the students performance based on the average of the class. Having one location, to look at the my students outcomes, will help me better understand my next course of action.

EDPS 345 Group Presentation

Description:

For EDPS 345, One of my assignments was a group presentation, over an aspect of assessments. I was partnered up with another student in my class (shoutout to Harlee William), and we would create a 20 minute presentation over a give specific topic- ours was Response to Intervention (RtI). We had to create a crash course of what RtI was, and then integrate a form of technology, as a tool of assessment to use throughout the presentation.  Below is a reflection of the presentation itself, screen shoots of the presentation, as well as screen shot from our method of assessment.

Rationale

I chose to tie this to InTASC 2, because it is all about the how as teachers, we use different strategies to connect with and meet the needs of learners. We had to discuss and figure out the proper method of presenting the information, as well as the proper way to assess our fellow preservice teachers, over the information that was being presented.
