Artifact Collection 

In this example, I chose an artifact of me teaching my multilingual learners through a visual vocabulary anchor chart that included Universal Design for Learning (UDL) of multiple means of representation by providing visuals, explicit instruction, and linking prior language knowledge to new vocabulary words. In the visual, you can see my students engaged in the math vocabulary lesson.  

In this example, I chose an artifact of my Social Network Analysis (SNA) data collected during my student teaching placement that helped monitor and assess the current relationships between all my students. The data allowed me to make adjustments to my classroom, such as putting resources into creating certain partnerships with students to develop their social relationships. You can see in the visual the many lines connecting my students that are represented by squares and circles in the graph.

In this example, I chose an artifact of an educational technology math lesson I adapted from the curriculum. I integrated UDL strategies such as multiple means of representation through visuals and auditory information and educational technology to tailor the curriculum to reach all of my students in an effective, equitable,  and engaging manner. The design of the lesson shown in the picture also allowed for easy informal assessment as students would come up and move the pizza toppings to represent this math problem allowing me to monitor their learning so I could provide instruction adaptations as necessary to meet their needs thus providing equitable access to the adapted curriculum.

In this example, I chose an artifact of one of my student's care plans who has  ADHD + ADD. Through reflection on what needed to change in the classroom to support him, in addition to learning more about what his assets were, I included in his care plan specific strategies that would help support his executive functioning skills by asking him what helped him stay calm. He mentioned coloring which I then implemented into his support plan. 

In this example, I chose an artifact of a robust, asset-based, educational technological math assessment called Math Transformations I used during my student-teaching. It provided rich data that allowed the assessment to be easily customizable to each student ensuring that the assessment was asset-based and accurate. In the above visual, it shows an example of one of the possible math questions on Math Transformations. 

In this example, I chose an artifact of my reflective inquiry project I completed during my student teaching placement. I did an inquiry project into one of my students after reflecting on my teaching practices and realizing how it wasn’t serving this particular student. I decided to do an inquiry project into what would help support him because I didn’t have the answers yet. However, I knew through reflecting on my teaching and pedagogical practices that I knew something needed to change. In the above picture, it shows a schedule I developed that would help support the student, after conducting my inquiry project.
