Data Analysis, Reflection and Action Plan
Data Analysis
The majority of the students met the standards. Of the 12 students, only 2 showed signs of needing more support. The impact of my instruction was that most students succeeded in acquiring the knowledge expected of them. Personalizing learning improved outcomes by making the learning process more accessible.
There were no components of each assessment that students frequently missed or scored low on. Most students did well on all the assessments, and when low scores occurred, there was no indication that low scores were occurring in any one specific area. Thus, it was unclear whether there was a problem with any one structure of the component of an assignment. As far as scores showed, all aspects of learning were properly supported.
Eight of the students are excelling. Two are at average levels and two are falling behind. In English, the biggest problems were noticed, as it was here that six of the twelve students had trouble differentiating nouns from verbs. These grammatical errors are understandable as the class is mixed of native English and ESL students. More focus should be given to helping ESLs.
Student learning was positively impacted by formative assessments: students showed a strong ability to respond...
Students grew since the pre-test in mathematics and science but they are still struggling somewhat in English.
Reflection
The instructional shifts I made that seemed to have the most impact on student learning was to integrate more technology into the classroom experience. Park (2015) notes that interactivity among students is facilitated by technology and in turn helps to boost learning. Personalized learning strategies that seemed most effective were redesigning the classroom to add diversity to how students were situated. This helped stimulate greater interactivity as well.
The data does support my general observations as most of the students scored well following the implementation of these strategies. The role of formative and summative assessment in my personalized learning unit is to provide feedback for the student and the teacher as well as a diverse approach to assessment. This role differs from typical assessments in that here it was also used to evaluate the success of the project. Personalized learning strategies helped to boost student performance and technology assisted greatly in this boost.
Action Plan
One-on-one time will be utilized for students who are still…
Peer Observation of Teaching in Clinical Settings In the teaching approach analysis, I captured the happenings of the teaching session by taking many notes relating to the teaching methods, learning environment, engagement, and management for the session. I brought in peer observations like the teaching set-up in class while seeking to address the difficulties of a clinical setting and a classroom simultaneously. I was keen on the formulating and guiding the
Teaching Methods - Differentiation An earnest observer of human beings eventually realizes that there are many types of intelligence and that different people have different skills, needs and knowledge. Differentiation is based on that realization and celebrates it. Abandoning more rigid methods of teaching, Differentiation consciously sets out to discover and use the uniqueness of each student, which can cause valuable critical transformations in teaching and allow teachers to recognize and
The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement by improving the hiring process by adding another layer of screening, namely teacher efficacy. The following aims will support the ability to achieve these goals. Aim 1: To evaluate the association between full and part time faculty regarding the characteristic of teacher efficacy. Hypothesis One: Part-time teachers sampled will report statistically lower teacher efficacy scores than will sampled full time faculty in business
3.4 Finally, I am interested in whether or not there is a trickle-down effect from leftist or rightist politics style at the provincial and federal levels. 1.3 Objectives 1.3.1 There are two major objectives for this research. The first is to compare the level of motivation among secondary school teachers under the Vancouver British Columbia School District in Canada by their socio-demographic and organizational factors. My hypothesis in advance of investigating this is
Teacher evaluation is a controversial topic. It is often thought by the general public and even some educators that once a teacher rises to a certain level there is little incentive to alter practices based on current research or training and even more alarming the ability for an administrator to terminate a teacher's contract can be difficult. According to surveys of parents and administrators, incompetence in the teaching profession has become
They computed a variety of measures to determine whether there was in fact a narrowing of a gap between teacher qualifications across wealthier and poorer schools and found that there was. This narrowing -- indicative of changes in hiring practices and policies as a result in NCLB, was positively correlated with improved test scores in those districts with higher poverty populations. The researcher felt there was some possibility, as indicated
