Student Growth Assignment Analysis

Student B demonstrates mathematical strengths in the explanation of both solutions of the area and perimeter, although one of the formula used was incorrect. Mathematical strength was also displayed in the actual multiplication 5x2x5x2=100, and addition 5+2+5+2=14 cm, failing to include the units of measurement

On February 1st, I visited the Britton Macon Area School. The teacher I observed was Ms. Richardson. She teaches a self-contained classroom for middle and high school grades. I started the observation at 8:00 A.M. until 11:32 A.M.

Walden University prides itself on helping students accomplish their goals, and providing the necessary resources to succeed. The interconnection between Walden, my colleagues and myself, are all of equal value because one cannot properly function without the other. Therefore, when all three parts are simultaneously collaborating, it creates a harmonious equation for victory. Being able to find out and navigate the resources available through Walden, developing a positive and collaborative relationship with my peers, and being able to excel in an online work environment appropriately is the formula I need to achieve ultimate success.

This experiment is used to see if a child understands that the amount of a substance remains the same even when the shape is changed. The experiment will show if size influences them in their decisions. This experiment will also show if they have the ability yet to think backwards from one shape back to the other.

How would I use my unique talents or abilities to address a school or community issue? I as of now am the class president of my 7th grade, Hastings Middle School class. In ways to make my school better, I always attend school officer meetings, and listen to my peer’s wishes and hopes. However, one thing I have learned is the fact that you can only do so much for your school realistically. For example, as of writing this, my school has banned water bottle flipping. Water bottle flipping is something with enough work and dedication, I can change. An example to what I can’t change are school lunches. The school already has a certain food supplier, certain food-related staff, and certain menus. To try to change this would be to disrupt many parts

I would like to help the amazing and talented students at Richfield High School before I graduate from Normandale Community College this year. This semester, I have strengthened my understanding of various coursework such as Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Chemistry by tutoring in the Normandale Tutoring Center. I believe this will help me tutor the students more effectively than before. I also have acquired more leadership experiences through the Phi Theta Kappa and Leadership Through Service programs. I would like to share my advice with the senior Upward Bound students on the importance of campus involvement. All in all, it is my desire to help Upward Bound students achieve their academic goals and prepare for college life.

Mr. Stepien stated that the reason he has the students formulate questions and writes them on the board is to help the students see the process. He stated the as profesionals we often skip the chart making because we've already developed a pattarn of calling in our minds the important questions we want to consider. He then stated if you watch a really good expert problem solver at work it almost looks invisbale,that thinking process. However, if you watch a good problme solver who gets stuck, you can almost see thier brain go back and say what did I miss. This metacognition thinking about the way they're thinking, has really gotta be devloped in kids. The chart process is a great way for kids to give explicit attention to what thier brain ought

Under each labeled item or on the back of each piece of the realia, was the correct height for each two- dimensional and three-dimensional item. When students completed their measurements, I shared the location of the answers. The self-assessment step allowed the students to validate their answers. Once a student checked their answers, they were able to share the instructions to check their activity document with other students. This collaboration was a domino effect with the classmates. They exhibited the thought that “research shows that pupil assessment can be more effective than traditional teacher-based marking. Pupils often listen more actively to the observations of learning partners and accord higher status to their evaluations (Retrieved from ttp://www.journeytoexcellence.org.uk/resourcesandcpd/research/summaries/rsassessment.asp).” I was able to see the students exhibit this behavior while they interacted with each other throughout this

[ In day one of the operating with lengths and area lesson, students are asked to measure the perimeter of an object in the room and describe how they

I realized he knew some shapes, but perhaps got confused on which is which or simply didn’t remember. Next, I asked him to draw a diamond, but he drew a circle/square shape that looks like a circle with a right angle on the bottom left. I think it was his first time learning about a diamond because he asked what it was so I said it was a shape. I didn’t want to influence his second attempt too much. Then, I drew a square and diamond, I asked him to draw a square like I did and showed him my drawing. He improved from his first attempt, he drew a more recognizable square with 1 curved and 3 straight lines. After I asked him to draw a diamond and showed him my example, he drew a straight vertical line. Once again, I don’t think he understood what a diamond was at all and just drew anything. I didn’t want to ask him to it again and make him feel guilty or more nervous. I think he lacked some knowledge and practice on shapes, but his fine motor skills were decent for a

Great post Micaela, I wish you well with your future teaching career. In last week’s field assignment, an elementary school teacher told me about the OLSAT-8 and the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test that she uses at her school.

I chose to research enrollment by student demographic data, specifically disability category for my district of employment, Norton City Schools. The data I interpreted included three consecutive school years: 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015. As a school psychologist, one of my responsibilities is leading the evaluation team during initial and three-year reevaluations. If a student is found eligible for services, the team must collectively determine the student’s disability category based on the data provided in the Evaluation Team Report (ETR). Prior to this assignment, I have not researched information regarding the disability categories in which students receive their services, district wide.

Good morning class! Can anyone tell me what we learned yesterday in math? Give the students a few seconds to respond. Equal parts? Yes, you are right! Let’s see if we still remember what equal parts are. Using the SmartBoard, display shapes that are divided into two parts. As each shape appears, students will clap if the shape is divided equally and give a thumb down if not. Discuss why each shape received a thumb down. Great! I think everyone remembers equal parts!

Kindergarten students will take part in a summative assessment that will measure their ability to 1.) Use descriptive words to describe shapes in the environment, 2.) Name particular shapes without guidance, and 3.) Create art using and incorporating a variety of shapes with at least 85% accuracy. During the summative assessment students will complete a short test that consists of six questions. Each student will receive a test handout with the questions:
