Grading Scale/Criteria/Rubric
The following grading rubric will be used to assess your class performance:
Exceeds expectations = **A
Meets expectations = *B
Below standards = C
Unacceptable = D
** In order to earn an A on an assignment or project, a candidate’s independent, unassisted performance/product must clearly, consistently, and convincingly demonstrate high levels of proficiency in all aspects of the skills assessed. The performance/product must go beyond completion and accuracy by demonstrating strong evidence of original, creative thought and/or sophisticated insight into the students and the context.
** A candidate earns a B when s/he has fulfilled every requirement, and met every expectation.
Exceeds Expectations – A
· Outstanding, unique in organization and presentation
· Relevant, clear and accurate in details
· Original, and creative in presentation
· Demonstrates connections to ideas/principles learned in class
Meets Expectations – B
· Good, solid performance/product where strengths outweigh weaknesses
· Some improvement may be needed in details
· Information is appropriate, relevant or accurate, and is consistent
· All expectations are met
Below Standards – C
· Performance/product shows some effort but is minimal, limited, cursory, inconsistent, and/or ambiguous
Unacceptable – D
· Performance/product is inappropriate, irrelevant, inaccurate, and not connected to ideas/principles learned in class
The following scale may be used to calculate one’s final grade in the class.
Disability Accommodations
Students needing accommodation for a disability should contact Disabilities Resources at 408-554-4109 (voice) or 408-554-5445 (TDD) (ECPPM Graduate Bulletin, 2015-2016).
Academic Integrity
The University is committed to academic excellence and integrity. Students are expected to do their own work and to cite any sources they use. A student who is guilty of dishonest acts in an examination, paper, or other required work for a course, or who assists others in such acts, will receive a grade of F for the course. In addition, a student guilty of dishonest acts will be immediately dismissed from the University.
Students that violate copyright laws, including those covering the copying of software programs, or who knowingly alter official academic records from this or any other institution, are subject to disciplinary action (ECPPM Graduate Bulletin, 2015-2016).
Sexual Harassment and Discrimination (Title IX)
While I want you to feel comfortable coming to me with issues you may be struggling with or concerns you may be having, please be aware that there are some reporting requirements that are part of my job at Santa Clara University.
For example, if you inform me of an issue involving harassment, sexual violence, or discrimination, I will keep the information as private as I can, but I am required to bring it to the attention of the institution’s EEO and Title IX Coordinator. If you inform me that you are struggling with an issue that may be resulting in, or caused by, traumatic or unusual stress, I will likely inform the Office of Student Life.
If you would like to reach out directly to the Office of Student Life for assistance, you can contact them at www.scu.edu/osl/report. If you would like to talk to the Office of EEO and Title IX directly, they can be reached at 408-554-3043 or by email at bguthrie@scu.edu. Reports may be submitted online through www.scu.edu/osl/report or anonymously through Ethicspoint: www.ethicspoint.com. Additionally, you can report incidents or complaints to the Office of Student Life (OSL), Campus Safety Services, and local law enforcement. For confidential support, contact the Counseling and Psychological Services office (CAPS), the Wellness Center, the YWCA, or a member of the clergy (for example, a priest or minister).
Finally, please be aware that if, for some reason, our interaction involves disruptive behavior, a concern about your safety or the safety of others, or potential violation of University policy, I will inform the Office of Student Life. The purpose of this is to keep OSL apprised of incidents of concern, and to ensure that students can receive or stay connected to the academic support and student wellness services they need.
Attendance and Participation
Attendance is critical to your understanding of course material. Peer discussions give you an opportunity to interact with your class peers about the ideas or perspectives raised by the instructor and professional readings. More important, your responses contribute to our development as a “community of learners” (McCaleb, 1994). Make up work must be prearranged with the instructor.
Absence Policy
• 1 absence – 5% deducted from final grade if professor is notified
• 2 absences – 10% deducted from final grade
• 3 or more absences – You may be dropped
COURSE ASSIGNMENT POINT DISTRIBUTION
* Signature Assignment
COURSE ASSIGNMENTS
1. Literature Circle Role Sheet: DUE Each Class Meeting (60 points)
Individually, you will participate in a literature circle of your choice. Each literature circle should have no more than 4 members.
The Literature Circle is a common book discussion routine used during content area reading instruction. Students come together in small temporary groups formed by book choice that meet on a regular and predictable schedule to (re) read and discuss readings. Students use notes to guide both their reading and discussion and this discussion is generated by students. The teacher’s role in literature circles is that of facilitator.
For this assignment you will:
1. MEET with your literature circle to review the reading schedule below for the Social Studies, Literacy, and Social Justice in the Common Core Classroom: A Guide for Teachers book and weekly associated articles posted on Camino.
READING SCHEDULE
2. READ the explanation of literature circles and roles uploaded on Camino.
3. CHOOSE what role you will have in each meeting’s discussion. You must alternate between the following 7 roles: summarizer, discussion director, connector, illustrator, word wizard, literary luminary, and activity director.
NOTE: Each week there MUST be a discussion director AND an activity director.
You will complete ONE role sheet each week that will be a response to ALL of the reading from both books.
4. UPLOAD your role sheet on Camino (5 total for the quarter)
Literature Circles Discussions = 1 hour for each of the above class sessions.
2. Electronic “Me” Timeline DUE: Weekly Signups (20 points)
(CO #1-8)
This is a Social Studies class so SHARE YOUR OWN history!
One of the ways teachers can show they value students’ lives and identities is to share a history of their own identity development.
A nonthreatening and creative strategy for publicly sharing your identity narrative is through the electronic “Me” timeline. This project can be used for your own class webpage as well as for building a safe space for students to be seen, valued, cared for and respected.
The task for this project is to share who you are within our learning community. You will be expected to share 5 significant events that you feel are the most important landmarks in your life shaping the person you are today.
For this assignment you will sign up to:
1. Make a short 3-5 minute iMovie chronically your identity development.
2. Upload your movie on Vialogue.
3. Comment on at least 3 other electronic “Me” Timelines shared on Vialogue.
4. Submit a one-page reflection summarizing what you learned from this project and how you might incorporate it into your social studies instruction.
5. Upload the Vialogue link and your reflection paper on the Electronic “Me” Timeline assignment on Camino.
You will be evaluated using the Electronic “Me” Timeline Rubric shared with you on Camino.
3. CURRICULUM UNIT PLAN DUE: June 5th (60 pts)
(CO #1-6)
A curriculum is a set of courses or plan of study. Defined as a long-term activity within instructional context, a curriculum unit generally takes the form of a unit study. Unit studies typically revolve around a central theme. Lessons and activities are structured to fit this theme.
Curriculum units are thought to benefit children through memory retention. Most children are able to retain more information from a unit study than from books or lessons alone. Developing a curriculum unit provides teachers the opportunity to custom design meaningful standards-based learning for any grade level.
Use the required course textbooks, and the California Content Standards in Social Studies, Visual and Performing Arts to develop your unit IN CLASS for any theme and grade level. Your unit should include:
a. Outstanding Children’s Literature
b. Reading and Writing Activities
c. Local or Global Civic Engagement and Social Justice Activities
For this assignment, you will use the unit plan shared with you on Camino to:
1. Establish learning goals (big ideas and key concepts).
2. Develop a performance task and rubric to assess student achievement of the learning goals.
3. Outline a sequence of 10-15 lessons that engage students in activities and experiences through which they will develop an understanding of the big ideas of the unit and the knowledge and skills necessary to complete the performance task you designed. (Use lesson sequence template shared with you on Camino)
4. Reflect on your own learning.
5. Share your unit plan with the class using Google Docs on June 6th.
Due in class April 17th.
REQUIRED: To begin this assignment, you need to complete the following steps:
ã Choose a grade level (K-8)
ã Find a Social Studies TE for that grade level (from a teacher at your site or SCU library)
ã Pick a focus chapter from the TE (usually contains 3-5 lessons and is part of a larger unit)
ã Read all the text on every page of the chapter
ã Bring the chapter to class
REQUIRED FOR FINAL VERSION OF CURRICULUM UNIT PLAN: Parts A, B, C + rubric, D, and E.
I will provide ungraded formative feedback for you as you work on the final version of your curriculum unit plan.
