By allowing my students to have an input to the activity that is to be completed by them, will give them a sense on importancy in my classroom. This artifact addressed FEAP 4 in specific to the FEAP indicators by incorporating assessment data tables and analysis' of students’ performance in a variety of assessment tools to measure student comprehension and apply opportunity to introduce technology in the classroom. I will continue to grow as an educator by utilizing some of the strategies I have learned through this lesson to help students increase their reading comprehension and
This will support students by working cooperatively with the teacher to increase their understanding of each requirement (Borich, 2011). Focus Student 1 (Above Proficient) was among this group that met or exceeded the standard in every area identified in the rubric. Additionally, student 1 will be provided enrichment activities to progress his learning. I will build upon their knowledge using strategies to increase my student’s understanding of how to prepare an informative explanatory text using topics that consider the audience. These strategies will assist them with providing credible facts and definitions, well developed points, and a concluding statement that is relative to the topic in their text.

This can eventually has a long –term impact for the children as well as the community they are living in. Throughout the Campaign for Grade level for reading which is designed to improve reading deficiencies, and based on studies done by few researchers, some statistics have proven that many African-American students who complete high school cannot read and write at a basic level in order to communicate in modern life. As a result of this failure, most of the students entering in their first year in college are then required to take developmental English courses. According to Tavis Smiley reports on PBS, Studies show that only 14% of African American eighth graders score at or above the proficient level. These results reveal that millions of
For this assignment, I was expected to choose a topic that impacts elementary students so much that it often affects their ability to be fully engaged in academic learning. After selecting the topic, “Latch Key Kids,” I did some investigation and research. Then, I presented a twenty minute presentation, which was to use a technological presentation format. Expected information included a definition of the social issue, a description about how it often effects learning environments, and an explanation about the teacher’s role in supporting the student as he/she copes with this social issue. An activity for viewers was a required aspect of this
When I was in Junior high school and Senior high school, lecture style was pretty common at the English class. The teachers were always in front of students, and some students did not listen to what teachers said. English class at Junior high school was better than the class at Senior high school. The teachers at Junior high school were trying to make students speak in English. They always pointed out some students and asked questions.
Following comprehensive assessment of Camden’s reading, two main areas were identified in requiring additional support, comprehension and fluency through prosody and word recognition. Overall, his comprehension skills are lacking as demonstrated by his weak SAT scores and FAIR-FS scores. Specifically, as indicated by the QRI-5 results, inferential comprehension proved to be difficult in Camden’s reading comprehension while he didn’t have a problem with explicit comprehension. Literal comprehension involves finding the answer in the text. However, inferential comprehension is a more difficult skill since it requires finding the clues in the text while putting it together with schema to make an educated guess.
I conducted an interview with my assistant principal on December 8, 2017 at a middle school in South Georgia. This interview offered valuable information about the value of literacy assessments in my school setting. The interviewee began his teaching career as a Math teacher and have always loved numbers. Being a leader and leading innovation in teaching, learning, and assessment, he became more involved with inspiring his staff and supporting curriculum leaders in stimulating sharing of good teaching practices, including assessment and ongoing development on analyzing assessments. To him, literacy includes multidimensional skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and performing.
This lesson plan is a lesson from the above unit plan. This lesson plan shows I choose to use informal assessment and activator to grab student attention and activate their prior knowledge before the lesson. This unit plan shows how I integrated arts based instruction with creative drama activities. I also conducted pre and post assessment for the unit to be aware of where my students stand before the unit is instructed. This way I meet the need of the students while ensuring the
All children need instruction; modelling, explaining, and demonstrating are very important teaching activities if children are to learn to read and write. Teaching assistant can model the reading and writing by engaging in them while children observe; reading aloud to children, which provides a model of how reading sounds and how stories go. Reading aloud is a way to model fluent reading. Teaching assistant can discuss books and stories while modelling the thinking process leading to understanding. Teaching assistant talks through the process step-by-step to show the children how things are done, for example, how to make, confirm or change predictions.
I am actually really excited for college reading even though I know the level is going to be much more difficult. I am really hoping that college reading is going to be much more interesting and the discussions that follow the reading are going to be very interesting. A goal I have for reading is to be part of study groups. I want to be part of study groups that way I have people I can discuss the reading and hear the different perspectives.
This Unit has four lessons: Worldwide Holidays, Science Changed the World, Traveling Abroad and No Warning is Bad Business.

You will learn grammar to help you self-correct and you will also find new words to expand your vocabulary. At the end of this Unit, you will be able
Justification: (approximately 100-150 words) Based on Nicole’s SDQA scoring sheet, her instructional level was not determined because she did not score two errors on any level. She scored at 5th grade independent level and 6th grade frustration level. Her score sheet reveals that her reading skills strengths include phonemic awareness and letter-sound knowledge and decoding because she recognized letter patterns in some of the words she misread. This leads me to believe that Nicole has strong phonic analysis skills and a high sight word vocabulary which allows her the confidence to attempt reading multisyllabic words. Nicole’s reading level should begin at the 4th grade level because the last grade-level word list scored as independent was 5th grade.
INTRODUCTION For the purpose of this assignment I have selected the film Freedom Writers (2007). As a teacher in a post-primary DEIS school, this film was of particular interest to me for its high-school setting and the disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds of the students. Freedom Writers is a movie adaptation of Erin Gruwell’s non-fiction book Freedom Writers Diary: How a teacher and 150 teens used writing to change themselves and the world around them (1999). The film follows Erin Gruwell, a newly qualified and enthusiastic English teacher, as she navigates her way through school politics, prejudice, racism and personal circumstance to help a group of at-risk teens to fulfill their potential.
English Language Learner Necessities ELLs must have the same standards as native English speakers but formatted to their English abilities. Teacher must be able to accommodate the needs of the students to be able to effectively improve their English proficiency and their understanding of the material. Szpara quotes from another author stating, "According to Wright (2003), accommodations are change in content or other attributes that do not lower standards or change grading procedures…" (Szpara, 2017) Developing teachers with the right tools so that they can provide their ELL students with better tools to succeed in their classes could lower the drop-out rate.
