How do I present my students data from a laboratory experiment to show trends, patterns. Do I include all the info in a table? Do I graph it? Will it be a good idea to include some student responses? Please help
What type of self-assessment for a Pre-K non-verbal or limited verbal? I am thinking of a visual that they can point to or pull off velcro, or a checklist for my higher students with visual choices. Any other ideas? Many can not participate in self-reflection at this time.

Do I need to differentiate my assessment for this unit? I differentiate my teaching, but everyone takes the same assessment. I do not have any IEP students in my class.
Do I need to include a description for the assessment or just 2 pages of the assessment?
As I am in CTE, I'm having a tough time figuring out what I've done professionally to improve curriculum etc... Does this need have to be about curriculum?
Since I am the graphics/business fundamental teacher, I am often times in the middle of or rather take initiative to create flyers, banners, informational items for various events at our school such as our student's Dress for Success banquet, parent meetings, community relations events, Autism Walk, Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities-and so on! Often time I head up these committees and take ideas to my supervisor. (professional need)
I've also took on as lead for developing a promotional package including a website, presentation folders, and other promotional items that a school club will be using to seek sponsorship for their club/organization- (professional need)
This overlaps with me providing lead in chairing the fundraising events with the students in the club (student need). I felt that this was lacking for this particular club and discussed with the club sponsors the need to have someone taking charge of fundraising etc.... it's important that students learn selling strategies, responsibilities, right? Who says needs can't be extracurricular type activities, right?
I am wondering if these would be significant/substantial enough to fit this component??? or maybe they are too "shallow" and that I need to reach out and initiate a more curriculum-centered need. I am reading my propositions and there is a passage about "attending to issues of continuity and equity of learning experiences that require school-wide collaboration across the boundaries of academic tracks, grad levels, special and regular instruction and disciplines." I can see how, my examples above could fit this as being accomplished. Providing I show how both benefit the students... right??

How do you provide evidence if you have done a book study or read some research or other resources on the topic? Increasing comprehension in young readers for example. Would a summary of what was read and what info was found useful suffice?
susanI am interested in this as well- had you heard anything?

According to my mentor, you don't have to have ALL requirements in each video. You need to have them between BOTH videos. You also have 2 allowable edits for each video. Use those to transition between instruction and work time as needed to show as much as possible.
It is an excellent idea to share teacher made assessments, and how they impact children's learning, AND if you want to use it as evidence (it should be an exemplar and reveal impact) use it; however, you can't submit assessmsents that aren't your own as evidence- best to quote those, and the impact.At least this is true for ELA C4 evidence.
I finished my first video of a whole-group lesson, and now I am filming my 2nd lesson of small groups working on a stem project. Should I focus on one group the whole time or move around from group to group? I don't have someone to help video so I am the one carrying the camera around!

Take as much video as you can, then choose a sequence that you can use as evidence. You can have two edits if you transition between a couple groups. Make sure you get yourself in the video as well, even a glance it good. One thing to note is that scorers will simply scan the video for the evidence you write about and confirm you are in it. They will not just sit and watch the whole thing.
I'm completing Component 3 this year and am currently working on the written commentary. What is this question asking: "How did the pedagogical and instructional decisions you made during the lesson align with your planning?" What does "pedagogical and instructional decisions" mean?
