Comp 3 video grouping question

by Mtired

Apr 12, 2017

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!

Component 3 question

by Meghan

Apr 7, 2017

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?

Thanks.

bmf8140 What works, do you have an answer for this? I have read the question over and over and don't understand! I almost think it needs to be worded the other way around..planning aligned with instruction...since planning comes first.

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

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.

Like

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.

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

Component 4 Student Self Assessment

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
