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.
EDPS 345 Rubric
Description:
For this assessment, it was our job to create a rubric that can be implemented in our future classroom/ career in or outside our future classroom. It could either be significant modifications to an existing rubric or it can be something you develop from scratch. This rubric could be on any topic in your curriculum, however, must contain the following: an identified performance task, three distinct rows that have been defined, three columns (qualitative differences), detailed cells that explain the relationship and between attainment and criteria based on the scale, and a measurement scale for the overall score. We could either build the rubric using rGrade or a different platform of our choosing.
