Hey folks, I just realized that I forgot to include my candidate i.d. at the top of my commentary page, and I already submitted it. Does anyone know what the consequences of this error be?

b Excellent. I also did not do this. I plan to call and tell them they need to change the at a glance guide. It talks about margins, etc, but does not say anything about adding candidate number. I'm hoping they don't deduct.

by Kerri

May 18, 2016

Are you able to listen to what you composed? This is for Exercise 3.

Plus, any ideas of style besides the fanfare they can ask you to write 8 measures about?

Thank you!

component 2 instructional materials

by Green Frog

May 18, 2016

After scanning the instructional materials used with the writing prompts, should they be labeled in word (have captions) or is referring to them in the text sufficient?

Component 2 Written Commentary Analysis of Student Work

by Victoria

May 18, 2016

Am I supposed to separate my analysis of Student A's work from Student B's? Or is is okay if I intermix them? I used the same 4 assignments for each student, so mixing them would be helpful. Thanks!!

Comp 1 AYA Science - Chemistry

by Colby E

May 17, 2016

Hey all, anyone take this test? I know we can't get into details but I am going through an old AP prep book and I am getting a little nervous.

The AP Chem book has a ton of formulas that aren't on the reference table supplied. Can anyone let me know if I should memorize all of these? It has been many years since I have taken college chemis...See More

Lisa S. I took the AYA Science-Chem Comp 1 last year and did not find it necessary to memorize any formulas.

The advice given about the CR questions was a good one, because there are other subjects and just knowing Chem is not enough, you need some Biology, Physics, and Earth Science too (particularly for the multiple choice). Practice and have a...See More

AYA-Bio Think more pedagogical when you answer the CRs. I thought I bombed one of them because I felt that my content info wasn't where it needed to be. But I used my knowledge of how to address student misconceptions and still passed. Two books I used to study pedagogy are "Learning Science and the Science of Learning" by Rodger Bybee and "...See More

Exceptional Needs Specialist - Test Prep

by Sarah

May 16, 2016

I am prepping for the test (Comp 1). Any hints from anyone? Quite honestly, even after reading through all the standards, the sample questions seem to be about situations rather than standards. Did anyone use purchase a test prep study guide? Any tips are welcome! Thank you.

Gifted Teacher I am also going for Gifted and am not quite sure of what
to study as well. I have been reading the NAGC standards
for gifted programming, and just researching different
types of program choices for gifted learners.

EC Gen Comp.2 - where is unit discussed?

by Mullen, Christy

May 16, 2016

Time is clicking to submission and now I'm double thinking what I've written. My mentor and I are disagreeing about where to write about my learning progression through work samples. My interpretation was that the first work samples are analyzed under child's ability to read and write. Then, you discuss how your strategies progressed them using the...See More

What Works There is no ONE way that's the only RIGHT way. I've always been told that the assessors can find your evidence where ever it is within your Written Commentary and the forms. If you feel you've responded to every part of every prompt, then I'd let it go. At this late date to try and reorganize everything would be a nightmare. This is YOUR work, not ...See More

videos

by jjcc

May 17, 2016

This process of compressing and sending the videos is ridiculous. When I compressed it was 57 MB. Is that too small? We made it larger and it was so horrible to watch. VERY fuzzy and one of my girls wore a striped shirt that was so distracting. HELP
