Sign up for Component 2 now?

by Stephanie

Jan 27, 2017

I've signed up for component 1 for EMC-Literacy (which I now realize I should have done at the end). Is it worth signing up for Component 2 for this year before the deadline? Would this be manageable or is it something I should start in the fall? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Hi On any assessments if they are adapted from a purchased curriculum can we submit pictures of that? Ex such as a graphic organizer that I made digital but the information was from my purchased curriculum/textbook.

What Works Cm, I would advise calling 1-800-22TEACH and ask if that question isn't covered in the formatting instructions. Please let us know their response if you call. THANKS!

C4 self-assessment/formative

by sbriggs

Jan 14, 2017

Hi, I am working on my formative and self-assessments.SO my question is..the 3 self-assessments DO NOT have to be connected with the formative do they? For example, my formative is an activity where I am checking for transfer of objectives students have learned within the unit. My summative is an informative piece. Can my self assessments be differ...See More

mrsmath1 I have this same question and I seem to be getting different opinions on different boards. I gave a game/immediate feedback formative assessment over a week ago to assess if students had grasped the basics of the unit before we added on more complex material.

Then, last week I gave a more formal formative quiz. As a self-assessment I asked...See More

Reading and Math Prompts

yesterday, 2017

I need some help with component 1. I need some situations to think about. Can anyone help me?

by mathinmiddle

Jan 16, 2017

I'm working on Component 4. I teach 8th grade math. I was going over my parent surveys that I gave at the beginning of the year, and many parents said their students struggled with fractions. I have seen this also (every year) when solving equations or simplifying slope ratios. Anyway, fraction operations and simplifying fractions are not 8th grade...See More

Biophysteach Perhaps fractions is a prerequisite skill for a topic in your curriculum? Since you have identified it as a need, you would teach students this skill before moving on to the curriculum topic. Would give you plenty of chances to explain how you used the data to modify the unit for these students.

Kaleb40 Maybe the self-assessments could be on fractions and the
formative and summative assessments could be on a unit
that includes fractions as a prerequisite. Then you can
gauge how their improvement with fractions impacted
learning the other topic.

Class Action Lawsuit Against NBPTS

by Angela

Nov 16, 2016

I'm glad there's going to be some kind of legal action against NBPTS. I've seen too many good colleagues receive utterly random scores. I'm starting this think this whole thing is a scam.
