Board Renewal Formatting Evidence

by Kevin

Apr 28, 2017

Greetings! I'm in the process of formatting my evidence for my PGEs in Component 1. Am I allowed to use several pieces of evidence on a single page? For example, if I want to include 3 different certificates, may I shrink them to fit the page?

Would 2 non-scorable submissions make certifying impossible?

by Daryl

May 1, 2017

Thanks in advance for looking at this. I'm not sure I'm going to make it. It's been a REALLY tough year (details omitted for brevity), but it was year 3 for me, so here I am. If I submit and I don't have enough for the thing to even be scorable, is that going to make it impossible to pass if I retake next year?

Teach4Lyfe Daryl, buckle your seatbelt and get going! You can definitely get something in to be scorable! You teach every day - get two videos - get another teacher to video you - write what you can and use the NBPTS language (I know this therefore I did that). The videos are actually easy. Just make the write-up concern the unit of study you are doing now. ...See More

MC Generalist assignment/Prompt Form

by rogun

May 2, 2017

Not sure what I'm suppose to put on form. Do I add students work (although there is a place for student response), do I add lesson plan, the story the students read, the writing paper, the students work with corrections and comments? Not sure and only 3 pages maximum.

cmoli I am wondering the same thing! I started focusing on this Comp today and I don't understand why we would have an empty cover page. I'm looking forward to someone answering for us.

Assessment data on Materials Form and spacing

by Patti

May 1, 2017

Describe the assessment, including the purpose and appropriate use of the assessment, student population for whom the assessment is intended, how the assessment was developed, how it was administered and scored, and how the scores are intended to be used.

I am stuck on where the actual quantified results go. Are they documented throughout...See More

Component 1- Early Adolescence Social Studies

by Amber B

May 1, 2017

Does anyone have resources that they are using for this test? It covers so much, that I'm panicking over all the information I need to know. Are there any practice tests or past tests that are released? I'm looking at praxis-type questions to practice. The sample questions on NB doesn't help that much.

Citations

by WhatshouldIreadnext?

Apr 11, 2017

Does NB require parenthetical citations in any of the responses? I am not seeing anywhere where this is a requirement. I am not starting until the 17-18 school year but wanted to get some basic questions resolved this school year first.

C4 - Professional Need/Student Need

by chemgirl

Apr 30, 2017

I'm trying to figure out how different my student need and professional development need have to be in component 4.

My student need was to change the assessment format for our unit exams. Students did not perform well on the multiple choice portion of the unit exams, but could write out all the answers on blank paper for the same questions...See More

Mrs. D My professional need and student need are on the same topic of accommodations for assignments and tests. I hope that is okay.

C4 Self-Assessments

by speia

Apr 24, 2017

Do the 3 student self-assessments need to come from 3 different self-assessments? My 1 formative was given with many of the unit goals (as it was just prior to the summative). I think this could be interpreted in different ways but if I were to use the same assessment would there be a problem with this as long as it came from 3 different students? ...See More

Teach4Lyfe I used 3 different self-assessments that related to other objectives in the unit. I teach preschool special education and developed a formative assessment for color identification, and showed the self-assessments I used in different areas of the unit because the formative assessment didn't relate to something the student could self-assess.

Exceptional Needs Specialist Component 2

by Jackie

Apr 24, 2017

Can anyone give me clarification on the the question document? I am unclear what they are asking for. Written commentary asks "What question have you formulated related to your work with this student?" Then asks for you to submit a question document... I'm confused.
