World Language Comp.2 - Spanish

by maestra.h

Dec 19, 2016

Hi all, I am working on Component 2. I'm confused about Component 2. I have 2 assessments that were taken 1 week apart, but they are part of an "instructional sequence" (retelling past events) that was 6 weeks long. It doesn't say anywhere in the directions that your assessments need to be 3 weeks apart, but that your "instructional ...See More

Mme B I submitted marked up copies because I thought it showed more evidence (eg, NB got to see student work *and* my response to that work).

Comp 4

by Erin

Jan 30, 2017

I am getting confused and overwhelmed with all the parts and pieces of comp 4! For the student need form for it asks for evidence of need, collaboration, and impact in no more than two pages so is it asking me to write about it or just provide artifacts as evidence? How can I provide just artifacts for three difference parts in 2 pages?

Help! MC Gen Component 3 Video

by Allie

Jan 28, 2017

Hello! I am trying to select the 15 minutes of my video lesson for MC Gen Component 3. Is it okay that my video starts in the middle of a lesson, as long as the subsequent 15 minutes showcase the instructional unit requirements? Specifically, I am in the middle of reading a book with students at the beginning of the video, and wanted to make sure t...See More

What Works I think more than 1 -format can show but one should predominate. So, for example, if kids are on the rug for a whole group lesson, and within that lesson kids turn and talk to their shoulder partner, that would still be a predominately whole group lesson. Consider choosing a segment where one format shows more. Does that help?

Allie Yes! It does! I misunderstood the directions to mean more
than one format needed to be shown in each video. I can
make that work with what I have already filmed. Yippee!
Thank you so much for your help!

national board renewal: Documentation pieces

by Tina Cooper

Jan 11, 2017

I'm renewing my Certification and because it has been 10 years I'm a little rusty on what makes a good documentation piece. If you have recertified lately and can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Jeannine C Thank you! I am awaiting feedback. The FB page seems to be unused for this cycle. Hopefully I will get better news. I confused about this exam. My recent download of C1 says there is one, but the indication is the copy I have has an end date of Oct. '16 - which splits my cycle. It is very confusing and makes me feel all the more isolated and adrift...See More

What Works Somehow you must be looking at the wrong information. I think you might be looking at the new candidate process. For candidates certifying for the first time - like you did several years ago, Component 1 is a computer test similar to what you did at the Assessment center. The process has been revised since you were a candidate and now some differe...See More
