Kayla’s comprehension level ranked at frustration, with 4 or less question answered correctly. Overall, Kayla scored a Rating Score of 1 on the Comprehension Rubric, which states “Student has no recall or minimal recall of only a fact or two from the passage.” Also, while reading the passage Kayla exhibited similar traits to the Oral Reading Fluency Assessment, with prosody and pace. There was little inflection or intonation, and her pace was very slow and choppy. The assessor will work with Kayla on comprehension skills while reading a chapter book together.…
The assessment helps the assessor to have deeper understand the ways in which they support student 's literacy development (Wilde, 2000). The method to gather the evidence of students ' learning is appropriate. Observation, other 's feedback and child 's written work are used in the lesson plan for assessment to analyse children 's development level, which are useful to notice the type of miscues the students are making (Brown, 2001). It can also help the teacher to analyse the effectiveness of the lesson…
INTASC Standards: 8, 9 Standard #8 - “The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social and physical development of the learner (Henson, 2009).” As a teacher it is important to use a variety of assessments to evaluate and ensure that students understand and are learning the content presented in the classroom. In addition to giving traditional assessments such as a quiz, exam or paper, alternatives that will be provided include group assessments, self-assessment, portfolios, observations and performance assessments. By applying varied assessment methods a check for understanding of a student’s knowledge will be better assessed since there are limitations with different types of evaluations.…
The M&M artifact shows the results of a project we did, which include four people opening up a bag of M&M's we picked separated the colors and found out the averages of each color. I created this spreadsheet using a google document, some of the tools I used consisted of gathering data and documenting the data we came up with. After that I color coded the M&M colors by filling in the background and also created a pie chart to show the data we gathered. I could use a project like this in several different occasions in my class any project I do with my students I could have them incorporate a pie chart and collecting data is something we will be doing throughout our school year. I meet the above standard by collaborating with students, peers and…
This artifact was created to demonstrate my proficiency in Standard 8.

In this section, I have an artifact of my brainstorming over STDs. Below is a web organizer I completed. Using this process of brainstorming has helped me develop a thesis statement and questions to use to start off my writing. It shows me generating a topic and coming up with supporting sentences that I can use in my body paragraphs. This artifact is a great incentive because it helps me organize and construct my…
Rationale: Standard seven means that I have the ability to to plan my instructions with being being able to meet every students needs. The artifact I have selected for standard seven, is the Osmosis Lesson Plan. I selected this artifact because it reflects on the different adaptions and modifications I would have set up for my students within one lesson for that subject. Another reason why I chose this artifact is because I was able to provide my students with a hands-on science lab, while being able to get the full leaning ability.…
The artifact I chose for standard 6 was the letter I wrote to my student’s parents for PED 356. This letter was sent to the parents of the student to inform them of the behavior I noticed, improvements made through out the semester, and skills that could be worked on at home. The letter to parents from PED 356 relates to Element 6.4 because in the letter I demonstrate my ability to discuss some weaknesses that could be improved in a respectful and sensitive manor. I first discussed in the letter the great personality the student expressed during class and all the improvement she made through out the semester.…
My artifact was a small video called “Mama Bear”. The Mama Bear video is from a web site that is called “feedingamericasd.org”. The video is a little more than one minute and we watched some of it with my group. Then I shared with my group what I know about the video and the organization. I have one more artifact that I picked up from the San Diego County office when I went there to social welfare assignment.…
The artifact is a packet for families to take home from Early Language and Literacy Development (ECE 203R). This was the first project that I did that was for families. I did not have to send it out to families, I just had to create it. I selected this literacy packet because it was the only project I make like this. Over the semester we had focused on the language and literacy development of young children and this was one of the many projects that we had to do.…
For example will assessment be initial/pre course, formative, summative or based on recognised prior learning. The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement. How knowledge and understanding is going to be assessed also needs careful thought and could include tests, multiple choice questions, written assignment/task, a reflective journal, verbal questioning or naturally occurring evidence, all of which need to be fit for purpose and relate to the learner’s specific needs. Further considerations for assessment planning are to determine who will be assessing the learning/learner and how progress will be monitored and reviewed following feedback. 3.2 Evaluate the benefits of using a holistic approach to…
A Formative assessment will monitor students’ knowledge to provide continuing feedback that can be used by teachers to advance their teaching skills and by students to improve their knowledge. Summative assessment is “The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit” Norm-Referenced - Compare student test scores to another group of “Norm-referenced tests report whether test takers performed better or worse than a hypothetical average student, which is determined by comparing scores against the performance results of a statistically selected group of test takers, typically of the same age or grade level, who have already taken the…
Item Writing When developing questions for a low, medium or high stakes examination an important consideration is that of legal defensibility. In particular how consistently did the questions measure a students response and did it measure what it was supposed to. In order to achieve this, its important to understand the structure and approach that should be followed. The first task is to access the course objectives which allows extraction of the key concepts and learning points by topic area.…
