I think that sounds like a good need to attack. Did your work result in improvement? Can you document that it did?

EC/MC Reading Lit Component 4

by PLESG

Mar 24, 2017

I'm torn in with the assessments I should use. Did you use state assessments or did you create your assessment?

I understand this would differ for each person, but hearing your rationale may help guide my decision.

Ms. G I did my own. I find with state assessments I cannot pull enough detail from them. When using and creating my own, I felt like I could analyze it better and also form it to my students.

Score Needed

by Catherine

Apr 13, 2017

Hi all! I am looking at everyone's scores and starting to worry the heck out of mine. At first I was feeling good because I made the 1.75 cut off but people here have higher scores and seem to be worried. C4 is proving to be a beast for me. I'm worried about what my score will be since for C3 I thought I did a great job but clearly...didn't go well...See More

Meghan Hi Catherine,

Unfortunately, the cut score won't be released until December. I've heard that it will probably be around a 2.75, but there is no way to know. You can go on the Board Certified website to type in your scores to each component on the calculator to see your average and what you will need to get on component 4 to possibly reach ...See More

Apr 7, 2017

Hi! On the formative assessment form it states• Examples of 3 students’ use of self-assessment (no more than 3 pages)

I am debating if this means one self-assessment and 3 different student responses, all responding to the same self assessment (for instance, 3 student examples of the same checklist) or if it means including three dif...See More

Visual Literacy???

by SpedTeacher99

Mar 14, 2017

Hi all,

I'm studying for the Component 1 exam for EMC Literacy. I'm worried about the visual literacy questions because I don't know much about that. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good book I could read about it? Or suggestions for studying?

Thank you!
