by Amber

Feb 21, 2017

For Participating in Learning Communities, it states that I need to submit evidence of the student need, evidence of how you collaborated with others to meet the student need, and evidence of the impact of the collaboration on those the plan was intended to benefit. The page limit for the form and evidence is 2 pages if I am reading this right. How...See More

ELA ages 14-18 comp 2

by Lc

Feb 21, 2017

Can you advise whether these assignments will lend themselves to comp 2? I feel like I'm picking reading vs writing samples too frivolously since all my reading leads to a written assessment and all my written assessments imply some reading has been done!

Evidence for Knowledge of Students-C4

by Grace

Feb 19, 2017

In C4 Knowledge of Students document I am told to add no more than 2 pages of evidence (progress charting, email records, notes, etc) that shows I collected info from at least two sources: families, colleagues, professionals in the district or field, community members. I'm confused as to how I show this evidence. Do I just write two pages about it ...See More

What Works You can cut and past emails onto a single document to submit. You can create a "log" where you keep a recored of emails/phone calls etc. You'd name the interaction, give the date, summarize the reason for the communication and tell the actions YOU took regarding the topic. You can ask colleagues to write a "testimonial" letter ...See More

Grace Thanks, What Works! So the evidence should be from my whole group of students and not just the two students who I am focusing on for the assessment portion, correct?

Also, when you say to ask colleagues for a testimonial this would primarily be for the evidence I'm asked to show in the "participating in learning communities" sect...See More

C4 ELA/AYA Assessment Data

by Boston

Feb 19, 2017

I am working on Component 4 for ELA/AYA.

Has anyone considered how to present "data or other results" from the formative/summative assessments?

Are they asking for a narrative, or could I create a graph/pie chart/etc . . . ?

Thanks!

What Works You can use data in almost any form you wish: spreadsheet, chart, graph etc. It might include some description too, but you're allowed other formats as well.

Comp.3 Exc. Needs

by MelodyC

Feb 19, 2017

I'm getting set up for the videoing and am looking for advice. Is it better to use my Canon Powershot camera to video or could I use my iPad? I read in the portfolio instructions that external mics are necessary. Can you use such a thing with an ipad?

Kelly M Hi Tina,

This board will respond to any NB question - initial certification or renewal!

There is a yahoo group specifically set up for renewals, though. It has over 2,000 people on it - some have already renewed, some are in the process now - some have even 'evaluated' (scored) that process. The files have graphic organizers that...See More

ECGen. Component 2

by Amy

Feb 18, 2017

In the directions it states that all work must be first drafts. I have a student that is working on showing details in her work. For sample 3 she wrote a wonderful piece on her favorite season but she used a graphic organizer first. Should I use the graphic organizer or her first draft on her lined paper? Also, when stating her goal, do I include t...See More

What Works Hello Amy,

I don't think it matters a lot under which prompt you put that info as long as it's there. Put the info in whichever makes the most sense to you. I'd use her first draft on lined paper to show where she began, but the graphic organizer could be one of the instructional materials you submit - yes with her work on it.

EC Component 4

by Laura

Feb 16, 2017

I am currently working on EC Component 4 and had a question- Do the student self-reflections have to go along with the planned Unit (with the formative and summative assessments) or can they be different subject areas?
