Teach4Lyfe I am lucky that my district has a product called SWIVL. It allows me to have more than one mic in the room as it videos.

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?

Teach4Lyfe What supports does the student need to blah blah blah.
That format of question allows you to state a student need
and to answer it with your component write up. Stick to a
general question that focuses on an area. Does that make
sense? Too narrow of a question such as stating a
particular approach or material can not leave you with...See More

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
read EVERYTHING multiple times and very closely - sorry
for the unnecessary question.

Exceptional Needs--Component 4

by TG

Mar 24, 2017

I feel like I'm just missing something but I don't understand on the Group Information and Profile Form what information we are supposed to gather? It says include evidence that you gathered information from at least two of the following sources: families, colleagues, professionals in district, or community members. I don't understand what informat...See More

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..." I don't see any l...See More

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!

Jenny You can cite, but I was told it was not necessary.
