I will provide rubric and section reading below. Teacher will not pass if the course reading is not included. There is the section reading and Course Reading: The Flexible ELA Classroom: Practical Tools for Differentiated Instruction in Grades 4-8 by Amber Chandler (chapter 5: Valuing the Individual in a Standardized World and chapter 6:Family Partnerships: Creating a Customized “Dream Team” for students.)
This reading above is not included so it will likely need to be paid for. I can pay for a rental through amazon if you can not find a free version.
I am Louisiana based so standards are through Louisianabelieves.com and I teach 6th grade math. This course if for 4-8th grade education.
Here are the instructions:
Section 5 from the course text: Assessment & Teaching the Test Genre
Cumulative Project: State Assessment Project
1. Go to your state education agency website and find the previously released ELA standardized assessments or practice tests provided for your grade level.
2. Examine the state standards that the test focuses on the most. What state standards are the most crucial to teach and reinforce across the year in order for students to be successful on the state test? What does the test require the students to be able to do in reading? Writing?
3. What will you need to do across the school year to prepare students for this test? What areas do you foresee needing help from a more experienced colleague? What areas do you feel confident about?
4. How can you use the instructional methods explored in the course to prepare your students across the school year?
5. How can you partner with your students’ families to impact student learning?
