Week 15 Activity

Standard 1: Foundational Knowledge

• Analyze classroom environment quality for fostering individual motivation to read and write (e.g., access to print, choice, challenge, and interests).

I will reflect on Liv's book choices as well as my book choices for Liv.  My artifact will be my initial interview with Liv.

Standard 2 Curriculum and Instruction

• Provide appropriate in-depth instruction for all readers and writers, especially those who struggle with reading and writing.

I will reflect on the instruction that I provided to Liv in order to complete the answer frames, as well as how to improve her reading skills.  My artifact will be her completed answer frames.

Standard 3 Assessment and Evaluation

• Administer and interpret appropriate assessments for students, especially those who struggle with reading and writing.
• Analyze and use assessment data to examine the effectiveness of specific intervention practices and students responses to instruction.

Since I have no formal assessments for Liv, I will reflect on how her comprehension skills compare to her fluency.  I will also reflect on her running record that I took at the beginning of the class compared to her current reading skills.  I have also been doing timed activities with Liv that I will reflect on.  Artifacts will include her running record, answer frames and timed reading activity results.

Standard 4 Diversity

• Provide differentiated instruction and instructional materials, including traditional print, digital, and online resources, that capitalize on diversity.

I will reflect on the lessons we did about the book The Name Jar and the importance of choosing books which support diversity.  Artifact: multicultural rubric

Standard 5 Literate Environment 

• Understand the role of routines in creating and maintaining positive learning environments for reading and writing instruction using traditional print, digital, and online resources.

I will reflect on how I kept Liv motivated and what helped to encourage her.  My artifact will be my VoiceThreads.
