January 2021 "Ranking Tasks"
January 2021 "Ranking Tasks"
My goal this month was to develop more rigorous, in-person instruction by choosing the planning component: Task Design. "Ranking Tasks" in a formal sense was new to me as an experienced educator. My mentor and colleagues introduced me to it. Upon researching the teaching method further, I developed a task to transform a lab activity that I had used in the past.
11th-grade chemistry students completed a pre-lab activity focused on significant figures and density. The density portion was based on prior knowledge which included 3 ranking tasks. Responses then lead a class discussion to address misconceptions before working through a lab to indirectly use density to determine the height of aluminum foil.
Since January 2021, I have implemented ranking task into my classroom on a regular basis as learning activities and assessments. They have proven to be a great tool to truly see students thinking.

I completed the Steven Ventura Achievement Team Trainer program July 2020. Below is the presentation my team developed and shared at the training. The graphics below is work that I did to further support the idea of achievement teams and find ways to gradually implement them into my classroom before I went into trainer mode for my colleagues. The IFAT forms provided a method to assess student achievement, but more importantly to provide an opportunity for them to wrestle a bit with the content and deepen their understand. Not only could I assess from the IFAT form, but also their conversations and they worked through the activity providing me with multiple ways to look for student growth.

Spring 2022 "We need STEAM"
Spring 2022 "We need STEAM"
As demonstrated in Artifact #1 I utilized my colleague and community resource to bring the arts into STEM. Together we put our background knowledge into play to develop a collaborative project with the art of creating pottery and the science behind it. We both had to do a bit of research to mesh all of the content together.
