Pt1420 Unit 1 Assignment

2. After analyzing the student’s reading assessments, list two reading skill deficits and explain why you selected these as deficits using information from the reading assessments. Be sure to include assessment data in your justification. Skill Deficit #1:

TAT2 Task 1: Integration Design This unit is a seven day introductory mathematics unit on the International System of Units (SI), also known as the metric system. This unit of instruction is geared for fifth grade students. Please see the various sections below for more details on my unit. Instructional Goal Fifth grade students will be able to utilize appropriate tools and labeling units when measuring for metric length, mass, and volume.

I suspect he is writing at a third or fourth grade level, but with little certainty. As a teacher, I would reserve the use of this rubric to the students that demonstrate the most deficiency in their writing. It is a hearty rubric, with seven sections of scoring and evaluation. To complete one for each of my thirty students would take and a lot of time from the feedback giving time. As mentioned several times, this rubric has many categories and places to score.

Additionally, the author mentions that according to the professor’s research, the “score gap between American students and those in the highest-ranked countries” decreases by “25 percent in math and 40 percent in reading” once adjustments for the student’s socioeconomic status have been made. However, this problem is getting harder for public schools to solve as “[t]he public school population is getting poorer”. Porter then introduces Andreas Schleicher, the top educational expert of O.E.C.D who runs the PISA tests, as Schleicher firmly disagrees with Professor Carnoy’s claims. According to Professor Carnoy’s results, “fewer than 15 percent” of American students should be from families of lower socioeconomic status, but Schleicher found that “65 percent of principals in American schools say at least 30 percent of their students come from disadvantaged families”.

Throughout reading Red Dress, I can compare myself to her in a couple ways and understood what the narrator was implying. High school is a difficult experience and can affect someone emotionally. The young lady had a difficult time in school and handling the tasks that come with it; as do I. “At high school I was never comfortable for a minute”, is a very inspiring and honest quote about school. Adults don’t understand the pressure that school has on someone and than adding the addition public speaking (etc.). “When I was asked a question in class any simple little question at all, my voice was apt to come out squeaky, or else hoarse and trembling.

For all those music lovers out there who would rather spend their time playing an instrument than sit down to complete boring school work, here are five scientific research studies that provide strong insight into the positive influence of music education on verbal skills, verbal memory and reading skills. Improve musical skills to improve memory Need a little help with memorising important dates or boring history lectures? The remedy is easier and more fun than you thought. In the year 1998, a study was conducted on sixty female students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong to determine the truth behind effects of music education on verbal memories.

Gale indicates that a student 's social context can determine 70% of their level of success in education. Only the remaining 30% is determined by other factors such as the quality of teaching that they receive. He states that for some students, coming to school is like “entering a different world”. Therefore, teachers need to make a particular effort to help students from lower socio-economic backgrounds access the contents of their virtual schoolbag, and make use of their cultural capital. One way that a teacher can ensure that the cultural capital of all students is recognised, understood, and valued is by fostering a strong home-school connection with the families of all students (Ewing, 2013.

The U.S. Department of Education reading tests have shown that for the past 30 years girls have out performed their male counterparts (Scieszka, 2003). Even with the persistence of this gap it is only within the past 10 to 15 years that research has begun to investigate the whys and hows of the gender gap’s existence. The research on this gap is varied, looking at the difference in the kinds of books boys and girls like to read, looking at the affects of reading on the esteems of both genders, and looking at how both genders perceive the act of reading differently, but one questions that still remains is how can we best ensure that adolescent boys continue to read through to their teen years and one into their adult lives? One detail that

The alteration of the school schedule would also decrease productivity in students of all ages. It is exceedingly difficult for teenagers to focus for eight hours at a time, let alone ten. Dr. Iroise Dumontheil, author of research regarding the development of students, declared that it was not due to lack of motivation that students have trouble focusing in school. She stated, “it’s not the fault of teenagers that they can’t concentrate… Adolescents simply don’t have the same mental capacities as an adult” (A. Hill 2010). Accordingly, by asking students to remain in classes for an extra two hours a day, school systems are requesting more devotion from teenagers who cannot focus for lengthy periods of time due to their developing brains.

As I took it, I didn’t feel confident with a lot of students hunched together, feeling nervous. As the days dragged on, it seemed interminable my results will never come until… my classmate Janet is dashing towards me, barely out of breath. “You did such a good job on the spelling bee. Look, I got a 90 out of a full 400 points. Lucas didn’t make it to the finalists.”

Her current scores on reading assessments are 70%,(novel assessment), 78% (reading assessment/ English mid -term) 58%(informational text;biology), 39% (history). She is able to answer literal questions with 80% and above averages, inferential and analytical questions are at approximately 75% accuracy. Her reading skills are at grade level with her peers and according to her last ETR, she did not demonstrate any weaknesses in reading and reading comprehension skills.

During the last 50 hours, Ashley has been working on learning the division facts and has learned to multiply 2 and 3 digit numbers by 1 digit with all combinations of regrouping. In both these areas she has built fluency. She moves through problems quickly with very few errors. The third grade standard is to be able to multiply and divide within 100. Ashley is currently multiplying within 1000.

I have also been assessed with the Keystone Exams, passing at an advanced level. Not to be cocky, but I think I’m kind of amazing… Moving on.

Between early 1900’s until 1940’s phonics in education, lack need, however by the 1960’s research on phonics picked up and once again, phonics became a hot topic on(Sears, 2006). Phonics examined by Rodriguez and Denti (2011) gives precise reading instruction to battling readers. In addition, numerous instructors would guarantee for the majority of students some deliberate educating of phonics ought to frame a piece of their direction (Clark, 2015). Do you agree with this statement? (I will take a brief moment to gather the teachers thoughts).
