Pre and Post Assessment Standards

Standard 4, Instructional Strategies

D.        Pre Assessment:

~ I have enhanced learning through computers, tape books, and providing electronic games.

            ~ I have evidence by understanding how to use the computer.

~ I would like to have experience using a smart board, practice using different programs such as Webquest.

Post 383 achievements:

~I have read and learned more about Webquest, the smart board, and the use of Ipads in the classroom.

~I provided a teaching reciprocal project and a research paper regarding these topics.

~I would like the opportunity to see a Webquest in action, and have more experience with interdisciplinary lessons with the smart board and Ipads.

L.         Pre Assessment:

~ I have stimulated different levels of learning by teaching children a math game that they build upon what they know and continue to learn. I have used a computer to teach children how to manipulate the mouse, what icon to click for particular games, and how to play the games.

~ The evidence was seeing the children quickly pick up on how to use the mouse, know what games are appropriate for them, and play the games successfully.

~ I would like to see more options of games and ways of learning/ teaching to provide effective learning to children at different levels of understanding.

           

            Post 383 achievements:

~I have read about coding and educational game apps that can be interactive and increase motivation and learning in students. I downloaded 2 apps to my personal iPad to allow my children to use them. I have researched different programs and ways to modify lessons for those with disabilities or ELL Students such as use of Clicker 5.

            ~ My children were interested in manipulating the reading and coding app.

~Next, I would like to try using a smartboard to teach. I would like to have more experience with different apps.

Standard 6, Communication

C.         Pre Assessment:

~ I was a role model as I taught writer’s workshop and used exciting expressions. I showed parts of a story with my hand, and thought a story out loud so children would have an idea how they can start a story.

~The evidence that shows the children understood my way of thinking was watching them telling the story with their fingers as they wrote the story.

~I would like to practice more nonverbal discipline so the class doesn’t get disrupted from the activity.

            Post 383 achievements:

            ~ I practice positive nonverbal language when working or in the public.

            ~ People talk to me as I display openness.

            ~ I would like to practice nonverbal discipline so the class doesn’t get disrupted from the activity.

D.        Pre Assessment:

~ I have used verbal communication with families, staff, and students. Some forms of communication have been face to face, via phone, and email. I have provided verbal and nonverbal techniques while children are working on an activity. I have acted as a role model and shown the children how to behave and how to handle themselves during an activity and centers.  I provided step by step details as to how to interact on a few computer games.

~ The families and students responding back to me verbally in a positive way shows evidence that my techniques were effective.  The nonverbal techniques provided a learning opportunity for the students to understand what kind of behavior is appropriate during that time. The children successfully implementing the same type of behavior is evidence. Again, the children playing the games with success shows that my media communication techniques were effective.

~ I would like to have experience using apps to communicate with families.  I would like to create my own website for families and children to interact and learn.

           

            Post 383 achievements:

            ~ I have communicated with the professor via email and the public via my blog.

            ~ The emails and blog would be evidence.

            ~ I would like to try using the apps such as Remind and Class messenger to communicate with families.

I.                    Pre Assessment:

~ I assisted students to expand their speaking and writing through writer’s workshop, reading to others, talking about readings, and sharing writing in circle time.

~ Students grew in the presentation skills and writing skills throughout the year. They were proud of their work and wanted to share in the group

~ I need to have more opportunities supporting and expanding learner expression in different media sources.

           

            Post 383 achievements:

            ~I supported a preschool group by teaching them about bullying and kindness. We read a book and spoke about it, being sensitive to their thoughts and feelings.

I read about lessons to expand expression with iPad apps such as Drawing pad and Skitch. I researched Windows Movie Maker 2016 which allows expression through videos and making stories with it.

~ They responded well to the lesson and asked appropriate questions. I wrote about a lesson in the research paper that would expand learner expression with writing. I trimmed a video about transitions in movie clips which shows how to edit through this program. I wrote about Windows Movie Maker 2016 in my research paper.

            ~ I would continue to have more opportunities with learner expression and technology.

K.        Pre Assessment:

~ I provided audiovisual aids for a student with autism that spoke very little. She used cards to show what she wanted to convey and the device said the phrase

~ She learned how to portray what she wanted or needed.  It was a form of communication for her and she had a voice with this audiovisual device.

~ I would like to have more experience with coding apps, webquests, and more learning opportunities through social media.  I would like to present blogs or twitting to children, however I need to be comfortable with this type of media myself first.

            Post 383 Achievements:

            ~ . I have read and watched short video clips about use of smartboard, the iPad, recorded books, coding/ educational game apps, and programs to assist an ELL student or student with different types of disabilities. I provided a video clip on my blog.

~ The video clip is evident on my blog. The information that I researched is written in my technology availability assignment.

~I would like more experience putting these audiovisual aids to practice, such as Clicker 5, recorded books, blogs, and webquests.

           

Standard 8, Assessment

E.         Pre Assessment:

~ I preformed standard testing for Kindergartners and Second graders. These tests were in paper form and I was marking areas about math, reading, and writing skills that were or weren’t being seen. I implemented reading assessments routinely to see what level the students were at and thought about how I could challenge them.  Due to some advanced readers in the Kindergarten classroom, a few children had book bins to enrich their reading experiences during reading time.

~ The evidence of using assessment strategies was seen in the performance from the students and watching them expand their knowledge base.

~ I could benefit from having experience with a computer based assessment for students. This may stay more organized and students may be more focused. More technology experiences through assessment would be ideal.

            Post 383 achievements:

            ~ I read and watched a video clip about Class messenger.  I taught the importance of it when using it in class to classmates. This provides an assessment communication with parents to show strengths, progress, or areas for improvements. I read about use of Edmodo related to tracking progress.  A note taking app as well as use with the iPad related to math, reading or writing could be assessed within the classroom.

~ I have only learned about these topics, so my research paper would be my evidence for learning.

~ I would like to have experience working with iPads and students, as well as Class messenger to experience using the assessment resource within the program.  It would be interesting to see progress as students learn to manipulate different apps and educational games within the iPad.
