The students in Ark City, as a whole, struggle mostly with math. However, this struggle seems to span across the entirety of the state. According to KSDE, 41% of students scored below average in math, 33% meet the standards, and 19% exceed standards at the state level. In the districts, those numbers change to 42%, 36%, and 18%. The Middle School itself reflects the same percentages even at the eighth grade level. As for English, 25% of students are below average, 45% meets standards, and 25% exceed standards. District 470’s performance scores rise in the amount of kids scoring below average and average. So according to the results from KSDE, both Math and English skills need to be addressed in multiple classroom settings.

Assessment and evaluation aid in determining whether or not learning objectives are being met. For example, assessment improves students learning by providing them with valid information to promote students’ achievements (Watson, 2015). Also, teachers’ assessment of student learning and performance is essential in a clinical setting (Oermann, 2013). Furthermore, assessment gathers, summarizes, interprets, and utilizes data determine the degree to make a successful action (Bastable, 2014). Therefore, teachers may write test items and analyze their results. Educators may also develop rating scales and other clinical evaluation or observe

During the initial data needs assessment review, I wanted to make sure we addressed the local community’s needs. We utilized both the LCAP and the DLAC surveys, talked with school teams and informally talked with parents on the campus and PTA members. Part of this evaluation determined a need for more parent involvement and education.

At Mill Park Secondary College (Senior Campus), I have the opportunity to work with a group of Year 10 students on their financial mathematics. The class is made up of 14 boys and 11 girls. And here is a glimpse of their background. This is a low SES co-ed school with an ICSEA value of 984 (My School, 2015a), which is below the national average value of 1000 (ACARA, n.d.). Their numeracy score is conclusively below the national average score of 580.

During this year, of preparation this researcher will identify schools that will participate in the evaluation. We will gain approval from the school districts to conduct the evaluations and create the program within the selected schools. This researcher will have to find a director and staff to run the program and socialite volunteers. Since this program and evaluations will be centered on children, this researcher will need to establish funding for all volunteers to get a live scan clearance before being able to join the team. Also during this time, this researcher will have to secure partnerships with local grocery stores/super markets, to provide food donations throughout the following year. Finally, this researcher will notify the parents of the students at the selected schools and receive parental approve. Any parent who wishes to not have their child participate in the evaluation/ program will not be considered for the random selection. This researcher will need an estimated $4,000,000 to conduct the program. The $4,000,000 will go towards paying program directors, supervisors, paying for live scans of volunteers and provide transportation stipends to volunteers and practicum students. Any remaining funds will be given to the families which participated and completed the study/evaluation for their time and

In writing this assignment I am constantly thinking about ideas of how to provide a focused, systemic professional way of learning opportunities to help my students and support me on my growth as a special education teacher. In this paper, I will do an analysis of three lesson plan. (Kindergarten math lessons, Second grade social studies, are given and a third lesson plan retrieved from the internet 4th grade English). All three lesson plans will be critique on goals, objectives, State common core, and English language development standard. I will also show structure, instructional strategies, to see if one or more lesson plan will address the 1/3 model of higher, average, and lower level

The location of our school sits on the outskirts of Missouri. Our school serves students in the second through fifth (2-5) grades. Over thirty percent of our student population receives special education services and has an individualized education plan (IEP). Our administration team and teachers design instruction and assessments from our state’s standards. We incorporate instruction time and make it applicable to our students’ individualized learning needs. We use different forms of teaching styles to ensure our assessments align and measure adequately to our standards. In effort to ensure

The STAR Math Assessment® is a standardized comprehensive assessment tool that provides educators with a surplus of information. The assessment is generally administered three times throughout a school year to provide beginning, middle and end of year data concerning student progress. Educators have the option of assessing students more frequently, but are advised not to administer more than once per quarter. The test is divided into content strands, and provides scaled scores, percentile ranks, student growth percentiles, grade equivalence, and math instructional level. In addition the STAR® software allows educators to generate student progress monitoring, growth, diagnostic, and instructional planning reports.

After completing the assessment, the scores for each subunit were added together with a predetermined formula, in order to calculate a final score. The category on Space and Furnishings received a final score of 6.13. This score was received due to the facilities well organized and usable spaces. This category received high marks on most of the subunits. One strength within this section includes the warm and inviting classroom, along with its designated spaces. The classroom included areas for reading, blocks, art, science,

Having sources for special education is important to meet the needs of the students. It is important for schools and the districts to know how to find these sources when they are not available to them. Per the National Legislative Conference Special Committee on School Finance (1971), funding alone cannot cure all the troubles of our public education system, but advances cannot be complete until the way educational capitals are elevated and allocation is reformed. There are many people in the schools besides the administrator that can apply for funding to support their classes. If they know where to look and how to go about it, they will receive what is needed. The teacher must ensure they comply with the stipulations that

The same can be inferred from the quantitative data collection, in which pre- and post-assessment scores were collected from pre- and post-instruction, to show learning progression by using math journals. These collection methods are appropriate for this study, and continue to align with problem and statement of purpose.

Special needs kids are increasing across the state and nationwide. Teachers are challenged more and more every day to find ways to educate special needs kids. Some teachers may not have all the knowledge about teaching kids with special needs or the proper ways to teach them, but they are having to learn because of the increase of kids with disabilities. They need to have the proper methods for learning because not all kids can learn the same. Providing these methods takes knowledge, experience and lots of patience from teachers.

Assessment– Assessment should not just be post-lesson learning, it should be ONGOING, from before they have learned, during, and afterwards. The teacher feautured in the webcast for this module made it evident that properly displaying success criteria is vital to make sure students are aware of how they will be assessed.

Almost every elementary, middle and high school in the U.S has a program known as the Special Education Program. The aim of this program is to help students with
