¶ … Strategy, Assessment
The language objective for my students would be to maintain a reflective journal about something they read during the week. This could a blog, a newspaper, a magazine, a book, an e-book, etc. The journal should be about what they read, what they thought about it, why they read it, and so on. My main focus for them would be to advance their composition skills by beginning with a topic statement, supporting that statement with information and summarizing it with a conclusion.
I would measure this language objective by using a portfolio assessment. A portfolio assessment is a good way for teachers to see how the students have progressed with their writing. With the journal, I would consider early entries, middle entries and late entries and assess the overall progress made. The portfolio provides a broad view of the work of the student and also can give the student a feeling of pride -- something tangible to work towards completing.
The reason I would choose this assessment is that portfolios can be taken with students after they are completed and they can continually go back to them and read them and see what they were thinking about at that point in their lives. It makes the work personal and enjoyable because they are truly investing themselves in it. With my own portfolios that I kept in
It would help me to see how I had advanced over the years and give me confidence in myself at seeing what I had accomplished.
The strategy that I would use to support this objective would be to utilize various approaches, especially technology so as to make the objective exciting for students (Peregoy, Boyle, 2013). I could host a blog space where students could upload their assignments and see them and comment on one another's entries: this could be a good way for students to interact and see and compare their work with others'. It would also promote exchanges among the students, as they could post on one another's entries. I would also have them keep a private journal that only the teacher would see, just so students would not feel embarrassed about sharing everything.
Another strategy that I would use is that of the visual representation: I…
That responsibility is of the school -- to ensure that the adult citizens so needed by contemporary society are produced by the school system -- those individuals being responsible for their views and able to analyze and synergize information so they may "vote intelligently." For Dewey, the central tendency of individuals was to act appropriately to perpetuate the "good and just" society (Tozer, 2008). This of course set the stage
Board of Education for African-American: "gains in educational attainment." (Guiffrida, 2006) it is pointed out in this work that the school counselor is in a particularly special or 'unique' position to offer assistance to both students and the families of students during the transition into college as well as in the provision of referrals to programs and counseling needs. African-American programs also exist that provide support for students. Guiffrida
Learning Styles and Academic Achievement: Are Parent's Expectations Too High? High school education perhaps is the turning point of adolescence academic life. Within few years, students usually work hard and get involved in emotional conflicts and endeavors to prepare themselves for higher study. High school students and their parents often understand that students have limited time to find out what they want to do later in their life, how they figure
Serving students with a full range of abilities and disabilities in the general education class room with appropriate in-class support is how Roach (1995) defines inclusion using this practice. Friend & Bursuck (1996) noted that children with disabilities are considered as full members of the classroom learning community in such setting with their special needs met there. Students with disabilities are helped to establish and maintain social networks and opportunities
Race, Ethnicity, and Academic Achievement - Proposal of Research Design This research will study the relationship between race and ethnicity and academic achievement.
