I decided to retake two of the constructed response essays. Are the essay questions for the retake the same as they were the first time around?

by Ms. G

Mar 24, 2017

I cannot seem to find clarity if the prof. and the student need must be linked. Can someone please help explain.

Thank you.

Donna Wood I had a similar question regarding the evidence pages. The most recent MC/Gen Component 4 Portfolio Instructions seem to contradict each other on p. 12 & 13. P. 12 states the 2 pages of evidence should answer questions related to both the need for professional learning and the student need. However, on p. 13, the Electronic Submission at a Glan...See More

Donna Wood Question Answered! p. 12 is the "Written Commentary"
directions - different from the Electronic Submission
"Evidence" page requirements. It really is important to

for the unnecessary question.

Component 4 Early Childhood Gen. Evidence of Student Need

by A. Bounds

Mar 21, 2017

On Component 4 for Early Childhood Generalist, when we have to submit evidence of the student need, does anyone know if this refers to a group of students or just one single student? I'm thinking its supposed to be a group of students, but I'm having a hard time getting a class set of data that shows the need. I am much more able to provide this fo...See More

Jenny If this is anything like Middle Childhood Gen, the focus is supposed to be on a group need. What do your instructions say? Mine specifically says "group" (for knowledge of student and selecting the students - my instructions pgs 4- 7). When it talks about using assessments, it also says "with the same group..."

C4 Generation and Use of Assessment Data

by arock18

Mar 15, 2017

I am struggling with this prompt: How did you support students’ use of self-assessment during the unit to achieve the unit objectives?

Is it just asking about the self-assessments I submitted? Should I talk about how I used it with specific students or how I adapted my instruction based on the results of their self-assessments? And I'm ...See More

Jenny I think it means how you had them use it ... what did you do to help them use it in a way the helped them achieve the objectives. Just a guess.

Comp 3 commentary, cite time?

by Tomi Vensel

Mar 20, 2017

When writing component 3 commentary for video and citing specific examples from the video, do we need to include the "timestamp" so the evaluator can find that specific evidence in the video? Thanks!
