***ASSIGNMENT: Use a short answer format to address each standard below:
4.1. Accommodations/modifications to instruction based on pre-assessment data analysis:
Based on the pre-assessment data, identify any instructional accommodations/modifications needed and why.
Describe any patterns found that will guide instruction. Provide examples of patterns that may be shown in the data may include:
-Fewer than half of the students correctly answered a certain question or cluster of questions assessing a specific objective. -Most students correctly answered a question or cluster of questions assessing a specific objective.-A particular subgroup of students performed in a certain way (list it) that would require certain accommodations/modifications (remediation or enrichment) 4.2. Differentiation
Describe how you differentiated the instruction to accommodate developmental and individual needs of each learner in the group, using the contextual factors from unit 1(e.g. ELL, inclusion, cultural relevance, special needs, learning styles).
4.3. Technology – teacher candidateDescribe how the use of technology will facilitate higher level skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating and not just by playing games online.
4.4. Technology – student useDescribe how students use technology for learning and understanding. Students should use technology to research, create, communicate, and present. Students should use technology to facilitate higher level skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating and not just by playing games online.
4.5. Plan for parent/guardian communication Describe how specific information about individual student progress was provided to parents/guardians. (Include what information was provided to parents/guardians and how it was shared with them (i.e. technology, phone-app, paper copy).
Provide copies of any parent/guardian communication (such as a newsletter) created for the unit or group of lessons. A newsletter will need to be created. Unit 1, 2, and 3 completed assignments will be uploaded. All of the information will help with this unit assignment.
I have also uploaded the grading rubric for this assignment. Everything in the exceptional box is what needs to go in the essay. Each section of this unit needs to be answered in its entirety for this essay.
