C1 Gifted Constructed Reponse

by A Perry

Mar 31, 2017

I am struggling with the dearth of preparation resources not only for the Gifted certification, but for C1 in general!

So I've started writing my own, and I'll post them here. I'd like to invite anyone else working on Exceptional Needs Specialist (not just Gifted) certification to write and post questions too. I figure we all can adjust th...See More

C3 Instructional Context Sheet

by scellis

Mar 27, 2017

Is it ok that the majority (maybe all) of BOTH instructional context sheets for each of my two videos are the same? I am thinking so much of course second guessing myself.

Mrs. D My context sheets are pretty much the same also. It seems odd, but it is the same school and same classroom, etc. You could change a few words if you think you need to do that.

C4 evidence

by AT teach

Mar 27, 2017

This is my first year as an assistive tech support teacher for special education. I spent some time this year receiving direct instruction from master professionals in my field regarding switch access, as this was something I hadn't encountered before this position. I didn't get a certificate for this or anything. How can I document as evidence tha...See More

Component 3 Excpetional Needs

by Mrs. D

Mar 28, 2017

Do you think it is okay for one video have two students in a reading lesson and another video with three students in a math lesson? I teach in a resource setting and do not have a large group of students at one time.

Comp. 4 EC Gen. Written Commentary Knowledge of Students

by B M

Mar 29, 2017

Under Knowledge of Students, do I include information gathered from Benchmark tests? Do they just want general knowledge of students here or specific standards that the group as a whole struggle with?

Biophysteach All of the above is the approach I took. Show them that you have looked at this group from all possible aspects and sources.

EA Math - Component 2

Struggling. Doubting. Confused. I have started and restarted my commentary more times than I'd like to admit. At this point, I feel like I'm no further than I was when I started.

Looking for anyone that has completed this area just to read the beginning of my commentary to see if it makes sense. I know anyone is helpful but right now, I'm...See More

Component 2 for Special Ed.

by Daniel

Mar 12, 2017

I am having difficulty composing a relevant question for component 2 for my student. My student struggles with comprehension when reading passages and being able to write about it. She understands part of what she read, however, she can't relay it in writing in a clear manner. How can I phrase a question for this student?

Jamie When using graphic organizers and peer-to-peer modeling, how will the student increase their ability to produce clear and coherent writing?
