Provide an analysis of areas of most and least improvement based on the assessment data
Holistic or for individual tasks?
Why do you think students met or did not meet the intended learning objectives associated with this assessment? (Be sure to summarize student learning for all of the aspects of the scoring tool submitted in conjunction with your assessment task/instrument
Should this be for each individual student or for the whole class/classes? What if one class does better than another? I would assume we would compile info from every class.
Critical thinking
Is this determined by our own discretion or is there a guideline we should follow?
LEARNING OBJECTIVE(S)
Is this set in stone or variable? With these times things can change where students can go hybrid/remote and any given moment. What do we do for in person versus remote only students? What if they cannot do the same things based on materials or environment?
Think ahead
Can you make changes during your lesson that are not apart of your original plan if unforeseen circumstances arise?
Think ahead. Select one class/period as a focus for this task. If in your placement, you are responsible for a group rather than a whole class, lessons plans should describe instruction for that group (minimum of 4 students). That group will constitute “the whole class.”
What if there are "groups" within your class that you are responsible for as well as your whole class?
Unit topic and length of the unit
We rely also on CLC/PLC within the 6th grade department where two different teachers do the same thing. Do we then plan for both classrooms or just for ours?
Write and submit a Unit Plan Overview
What if we are waiting on what we teach? When should we know when we are teaching a certain unit/lesson if our CT's do not know at this point where we will be?
choose one period that will be your focus period for your Capstone work.
I have 6 periods who all receive the same instruction. Does it matter then which class I choose?
AssessmentAssessment:Identify
What if our assessment criteria differ from CT. Who's do we default to?
Standards Reference:
Should we follow these or district guidelines? What if they differ significantly (I assume they wouldn't)?
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
Are these based off of school curriculum or can they encompass what we think is important as well? How close do we need to follow a districts outline if we think things may be superfluous or unnecessary for understanding?
Number of Students at each Level (1 2 3 4 5 6
How do we find info on these levels/what do they mean?
IEPs/504/ALPs/READ Plans: Classifications/needs
How do we fill this out?
Please describe the grading practices in use in the classroom
Our classroom uses a proficiency scale. I am new to this and wonder how this translates in a traditional A,B,C, etc.? Are they the same/should they be considered the same? How can you determine advanced/gifted learners from this?
Describe community and school assets
How would one figure this out/how would you implement these resources in your classroom?
Urban
I am unsure where Carmody falls in this category. I think it would be considered suburban but is there a way to know what environment you are in? Can there be a blend between suburban and urban?
the utilization of verbal and written discourse, between teacher and studentsand among students
I have noticed that a lot of students do not show up for class. How do we work around these particular students if they do not show up in order to make our classrooms reach all of our students?
language demands
There are a couple of students I have/that I will work with who have severe needs. I would really love to learn about how to differentiate a classroom for these students as I have been told they are more at a "2nd grade" learning level. Are there any pieces of advice for this or will we go over this at all?
Lesson plans address intentional planning for the diversity of learners.
I know Jeffco has SOARS in order to learn about IEPS but I am pretty sure that TC's do not have access to this. At least I did not have access at BCHS. Is there a way to get a full layout for each student with an IEP in your classroom as a TC if your CT does not have that information as well? I/my CT have had issues before in finding this information, especially in the remote environment. (We are going to hybrid this next week which may make it easier to find out this info through my CT).
