Instruction and Assessment Strategies

Collection of student Data

Learner Profile

During my graduate coursework, I worked one-on-one with a third grade student. I completed various interest and motivation surveys to better understand the whole child. I also performed a running record and analyzed the data collected from the read aloud, comprehension question responses, and a writing sample to make suggestions for future interventions.

Running Record Analysis

I performed a running record on a first grade student during a field experience. I analyzed the data collected from the running record and made suggestions for future instruction and interventions to improve her reading abilities.

Child Study Report

During an early childhood course, I observed a two year old child over the period of one month. I tracked the child's development in the areas of social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and self help skills using multiple checklists. I suggested research-based activities to further the child's development and made predications for the child's future development based on the data collected.

Remote Learning 2020

Throughout the remote learning period of April 2020 through June 2020, I was responsible for planning and recording the fourth grade math lessons, creating assessments through NearPod and Socrative, as well as planning and implementing reteach lessons to struggling students. Each reteach lesson is outlined below.

Comparing and Ordering Decimals Reteach

During this lesson, I modeled comparing decimals using a hundredths block and a place value chart. Students then completed a group mystery activity to solve a riddle.

Decimal Unit Review and Reteach

Students had been practicing modeling, ordering, and comparing decimals over the course of three weeks. During this lesson, students had the opportunity to discuss an "Alike but Different" pair of decimals and model them to support their answers. I also modeled ordering and comparing decimals using the place value chart before students practiced individually. We concluded with a game of Kahoot!

Rounding Decimals Reteach

This lesson follows a scaffolded approach. I modeled answering a rounding question, then asked a student to think out loud to explain how they would answer the following question, and then the students had the opportunity to answer a few questions independently and share their work with the group. Students were encouraged to answer a challenge question and participate in a "Which Does Not Belong" discussion activity. The lesson closed with a "Roll and Round" game. Students were asked to bring a die to the lesson to form numbers that we would round as a whole group.

Converting Fractions to Decimals Reteach

Students had the opportunity to practice converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals using a place value chart. I reviewed the steps from the lesson video they watched and asked students to share how they would solve the problem using their math vocabulary. Students participated in an "Alike but Different" discussion activity and played a conversion online game.

Metric Measurement Reteach

Three Act Tasks are a common activity used in my AIS classroom. I created my own version for remote learning that focused on familiar landmarks in Alden. Students were presented with a map from the intermediate school to the primary school. Their task was to convert the distance in kilometers to meters and centimeters. Students then completed a scavenger hunt where they had to find items in their house that met the measurement criteria provided for that round.

Customary Measurement Reteach

Students reviewed the different units of measurements by playing "This or That". I provided the students with an image of an item and they had to choose the appropriate unit of measurement. Then, students worked with one another to solve a series of conversion problems. They were encouraged to share their thinking out loud using math vocabulary.
