I accumulated scores from state tests, my placement tests, and student records, therefore I know the skill levels of my students range from grade 2-6. Because of this skill deficit, I incorporate basic skill practice such as measuring with a ruler, orally defining basic terms, and discussion before writing. To reach students learning styles and to promote social skills I use modeling, working with a peer and physical activity. Knowing most of my students have unstable homes I do not assign homework. Since there are diverse learning gaps, and all students are either kinesthetic or auditory learners. I plan for discussion and hands-on learning. Because of the lack of social skills and differing disorders of my students, I plan for peer review …show more content…
They may ask questions and use their notes to make the corrections. Classwork is a learning tool, so we often redo work until it is right. In this unit, students planned, discussed, and then created their final project. Grades were taken on three activities and one summative assessment. They were given three different ways to demonstrate their learning before they were to complete their project. This gave the student practice, as well as chances for me to correct misunderstandings. I used visual aids and discussion to introduce the unit, this was to make the vocabulary relevant and to assess prior …show more content…
Students were questioning and referring to their notes but still not sure of answers. After grading their papers I had all student stand and demonstrate the terms with physical movements. Then they correct their answers with 100% accuracy. The self-assessment included in this component the students created reflection, translations, rotation and line of symmetry. On the formative assessment (included in the component) all students missed question 1 due to lack of attention to the labels on the vertices. I adjusted my lesson by discussion and acting out the transformations using the tile floor as our graph. The students were asked where the foot and nose are pointed. I pointed out the differences in 180 degrees and 90-degree rotations. The similarities in reflection and 180-degree rotation. I had students call out the transformation as they were moving. I also had them play a game where they were given a location to move to and the others had to guess the transformation. I knew students would retain the information if could use more than one sense and be engaged. After the activities student were to correct the formative assessment.
In analyzing the formative assessment I found it was not in-depth enough to determine if a student could perform and apply all transformations. While observing I noticed Bob struggling to plot points, therefore, I adjusted the unit plan by; having students plot some given points; having
2. I pulled out my focus learner and a few other students from the general classroom to teach a small group segment. On page 1 of the Instruction Commentary, the second prompt, you are to supply information that affect your instructional delivery in connection with the learning goal. Does this sound
Instructional Plan Engage, Connect, and Launch: Engage: Say, “I know everyone here knows what a square and a rectangle are, but do you know the difference? These are two more 2 dimensional shapes that we’re going to talk about today.” Connect: Say, “Today we’re going to look at squares and rectangles and find out what is different between them because they both look like boxes, right? In fact, I’m sure everyone has received gifts that came in a square and a rectangle shaped box.”
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.
Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.
Learning Outcomes (1) I can calculate simple interest on loans, interest rates, time period and repayments Process success Criteria (2) I can put the question into context I can work out simple percentage I can change percentage to decimal I can use calculator effectively I can change the subject of the simple formula I can use substitution to do calculations I can work out the interest when given time periods other than years. Starter (3) Display a three part question on the board. Ask the students to work out: a) The percent of a given amount b)
Station 1: Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Three to four slides. Information shared on the slide(s) and viewed by the audience should be succinct and void of excessive detail. Specific details and descriptions should be included in part two; the written synopsis. • Audience (0.5 point): Discuss how you will get the audiences’ attention to visit this station.
Overall, the fundamental approaches shown in the video can provide educators with valuable data which can guide instructional procedures in the classroom. One approach shown in the video is station teaching. In this strategy students are divided into small groups and placed into stations. By using groups teachers can focus on different aspects of the curriculum, which builds upon previously learned material. In addition, station teaching breaks the traditional cycle of large group instruction and allows students to receive individualized attention.
They were also able to use their learning strategies. They were able to read articles, watch videos, and see pictures about their biome. This closed any gap that would be hindered by one type of instruction. When information is only presented one way or it is not investigated on their own then the students are limited to my expectations. Because of this performance task the students were able to rise to their own standards and generally they were much higher than the ones I set.
I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.
3. Describe the evidence that students know and use the Academic Language appropriately. Lesson 1: In the conclusion, students will find a partner and discuss what they learned today. Each group will have a chance to share their responses to the rest of the class.
What does writing mean to me? Writing means getting people engaged in your piece. It means people wanting to keep reading what you wrote. The biggest thing about writing to me is expressing your thoughts and letting your mind go. Using good word choice and having a strong voice in the writing is something that makes it good.
Introduction It is very important to study about the development of the human. Because it provides framework to think about human growth, their mental development, and the most important one, ‘their learning’. As a teacher it is very important to study about these theories. Because it have a close relationship with the development of the students and their learning behavior (Michael, 2012) .
My first assessment helps to achieve this by having the students do a simple but a to the point task that takes prior knowledge that they may have already and apply it to this and make a pro/con list and a list of what can be improved upon. It is testing their initial knowledge and understanding, which allows the teacher to see where they may need help or improvement. The informal formative assessment that I chose is having students work in pairs to assess how well each other pair of students is understanding the material. This allows the students to practice different ways so that they can better retain the information. This will help them to form a different way to allow the students to study these concepts.
Authentic assessments should be tied to real-world contexts and require the student to “do” the subject. For example after a Math lesson on telling time to have the students complete a “time” worksheet. Tell each child to write their beginning time and once they
Why? During my lesson, I did have to alter my instructional plan as I taught the lesson. Therefore, the reason that I had to change my instructional plan was because, my students needed for me to model the lesson concept more than I had planned. Furthermore, the students were able to effectively complete their individual work after I added additional time to model for them how to find the main idea of a piece of text.
