ructional Strategies: KWL Chart o Description of the Strategy: The strategy that I used during this lesson was a KWL chart. A KWL chart is where students list what they already know, what they want to know, and what they learned at the end of the lesson. The students each received two sticky notes to record what they already know and what they want to know. o Rationale for Utilizing the Strategy: I chose to use this strategy in order to get a better understanding of what the students already knew about natural disasters. The students were able to list many examples of natural disasters and emergencies to attach to the KWL chart. o Evidence Supporting the Effectiveness of the Strategy: Based on the evidence from this lesson I would use this …show more content…
All of the students already had an understanding of what an emergency and a natural disaster are by providing examples. I was able to determine that all of the students including the six focus students had an understanding of each situation. o Improving Assessment and Maximizing Student Impact: Based on the results of the assessment I would have the students provide examples instead of the definition. If I were to use this assessment again I would have the students use different materials to find the evidence to their answers. The students filled out their think sheets as we discussed each situation. This lesson and assessment were an introduction to natural disasters and emergencies, so it was completed in a whole group setting. o Improving Classroom Management and Organization Based on t that occurred during this lesson I would improve the use of equity sticks. While the use of equity sticks was effective, there is always room for improvement. I would like to find new ways to use equity sticks. Instead of just using sticks, I would like to use different programs on the computer so that the students have more enjoyment in who is going to be
What evidence will you gather at the beginning of the lesson, during the lesson, and/or at the end of the lesson that will show the extent to which the students have made progress toward the academic learning objective(s)? Attach rubric or scoring guide as appropriate.
Warm up /Bell work: When student arrive, there will be instructions on the board to fill ‘in the KWL Chart which is located on each student’s desk. The instructions on the board will read: Please fill out the KWL chart about the topic the Great Depression in North Carolina. The KWL charts will act as an introductory tool for my students to gain an interest and curiosity of this topic. It is also a great to help student’s begin an approach to learning the key topic at hand. In the KWL
This paper is about the how the overall objectives of the entire course correlates with the assignments disseminated to students over the past eight weeks. The first paragraph of the first section of this paper depicts how the assignment in week correlated with the class objectives for the week one by emphasizing the major elements of local, national and global environmental emergency prepared as donated in the objectives. The subsequent paragraphs of this paper also show how the assignment for week two through week eight correlated with the objectives set forth for the class.
“We teach them a little bit about a hazard, whether it is a hurricane or a tsunami. We teach them the signs behind the hazard, how to prepare and what to do in case of a hazard. We also teach them a little bit about fire safety and coping skills – how to handle the stressful situation of an emergency,” Preparedness Manager Disaster Services with the Hawaii State Chapter Carole Kaapu said.
Recommend the evidence-based strategy that is best suited for the people in the selected articles. Provide a rationale for your response.
With the conclusion of the instructional unit I would have went back and looked at what content needed to be reviewed or re-taught to the students. When looking at the data on the pre-assessment students struggles with questions 8, 9, 10 and 15. On the post-assessment students improved on question 8, 9 and 10 but the number of correct responses stayed the same on question 16 which determined students did not gain additional information needed to answer questions 16. The unit could be expanded to discuss more information on how the Continental Army won the war with the help of allies since these types of questions were missed the most or showed the least amount of improvement. Although students already have an
In this evidence you will need to explain your understanding of the principles and requirements of your assessment practices. 1. Explain how peer and self assessment can be used to promote effective learner involvement in the assessment process, what are the benefits of learners taking ownership and responsibility for their learning journey:It is important to involve learners
Under which phase of the disaster do the three proposed interventions fall? Explain why you chose that phase.
What were the learning outcomes for the lesson? How did the learning outcomes meet the needs of individual students?
What were the objectives of this lesson? How well do you think your students understood the overall purpose and relevance of the lesson? (APS 4.A–C)
This PLC has begun to make assertions as to where student’s needs are, however their assertions would be more valid had they presented concrete data to prove their assertions. Should this PLC had used data to support their assumptions through a common formative assessment, and then analyze that data, they would become much more effective than they already
During the program that I am in now I’ve learned that for evidence based practices that you must have the access to evidences based- practices, be careful with fidelity, and to check the progress of the students. Today many teachers search websites such as google to create their lesson plans. They do this because many teachers do not have time to sit down and look for the proper research that is needed. These lesson plans that they are finding may not be considered an evidence based instruction method. There are many websites that have been made for teachers which have the proper evidence based programs that are needed for teachers. Next we have to be careful with “fidelity”, which refers to accuracy or exactness to details. Teachers want to be sure that their evidence based methods have strong outcomes from the students. It is important for teachers to not change or leave out any of the steps in the evidence
For the learner’s evidence to be sufficient, it needs to relevant and proves that the learner is competent. The evidence must mean something to the learner and must not just be used for the sake of it. The evidence must be clear and logical and must meet the learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
In the article, Storm Warning by Tammy Lee, Meredith Kier, and Kelsey Phillips, described a 5E lesson they did that had to do with learning about hurricanes. Throughout the three days of the lesson, students built structures that they think would withstand a simulated hurricane. The teachers used the first E, engage, by having students answer engaging questions like: “‘What is the difference between a natural hazard and a natural disaster’,” (Lee, Kier, and Phillips, 2016). Then, they had students split into different groups and they used a jigsaw approach by having students answer specific questions in each group and then having them teach what they learned to the other students. Some of the questions were: “What are some natural protections that can help protect areas from more destruction from a natural hazard like a hurricane?”, “What could you do to prepare if you lived in a coastal community?” (2016).
Assessment, Evaluation and Improvement – had to adopt a systematic approach to evaluating their successes and failures. They conducted real time evaluations to assess and influence emergency response. These exercises provided vital information about the effectiveness of their response and allowed them to make crucial adjustments to their process.
