How you do provide evidence of a website that features work you have done for Professional Learning Needs portion? If you go to the link it will show my name. Should I just screenshot a portion of my work?

by Julespalooza

May 6, 2018

I'm having trouble making decisions as far as which ones clearly demonstrate "students as writers".

Here's my dilemma: my English classes last semester wrote two full-length "formal" essays, but numerous analytical paragraphs, essay length reading journals--the works. One of the assignments--a literacy narrative--clearly showcases my stud...See More

Do I have to integrate math with social studies/science in both videos? Or can one video be math and the other video be a science lesson?

I mention my school name while I am teacher in my video lesson. Do I need to redo this video? It is a PBL that is relevant to our school community.

When indicating Instructional Goals for the unit, do you focus on NGSS goals or National Board Standards here? I have 2 videos using CER for two different purposes in two different units

mscrawford101 You focus on the goals for the unit. Period. Whatever they are is what matters. NBPTS could care less if they are CCSS, NGSS or any other standard. It's what you pick as being important for your students.

Video issue

by Alan Arendale

Apr 26, 2018

Good morning! I realized I have a poster in the background of one of my videos that identifies my school name. Would blurring that or making it look like it has a covering over the name be considered unacceptable editing?

mscrawford101 The scoreres understand that these things inadvertently happen. Do NOT edit.
