AYA Science / C4 Student Need

by kdpeagler

Apr 17, 2018

I have two potential options for my Student Need on C4:

(1) I partnered with the local university to create a student entrepreneurship program. Demonstrating the need would be a little more difficult with this one since it's extra-curricular. Also, the extra-curricular nature of the program worries me a little.

(2) I partnered wit...See More

Component 4 Self-Assessment

by Cal

Apr 9, 2018

Can anyone give me an example of the self-assessment by 3 different students? It states it can be a rubric or checklist then the next bullet is a transcript of a conversation between students or between a student and the educator. Do you use either or or both?

Marie Not sure. I have students using a rubric and an exit ticket but the exit ticket is for the reading part and the rubric is for the writing part.... Sorry to not be more helpful!

Marie This is what I got from another post. Not sure if it helps or not, but it is something!

I took that to mean explain when during the unit the Ss completed the self-assessments, how Ss used them to improve, to successfully complete the S.A., etc.

C4 Written Commentary Factors questions

by Josie

Apr 14, 2018

Under the question: What did your analysis of the results of the summative assessment tell you about where the students as a group are in relation to the unit objectives? What patterns, trends, etc.....and then it asks What other factors did you take into account as you analyzed and interpreted the results? I am struggling with what they are asking...See More

Component 3: AYA Science

My instructions say "the lesson on which you are focusing should be one that is important for the students at their level of learning and one in which they are likely to be engaged in constructive and meaningful scientific discourse and/or scientific inquiry"

My first video was a small group stations activity where students answered questions on whiteboards around the room. The focus here was on the scientific discourse between students and myself.

For the second I have multiple versions of two lessons and I can't determine which to choose. They both have their pros and cons.

(1) Inquiry-based lab activity where students explore the factors that potentially affect the period of a pendulum. We start out by brainstorming ideas of what things might affect it and then they perform trials to verify if they do affect it or not. This one is not the best video, but it involves a more inquiry-based approach.

(2) Whole class quantitative demonstration where we do a typical end-of-chapter question, but then we actually verify our results with a real setup. I finish the lab with some Plicker questions and discussion. This one is a pretty good video, that involves large group teaching, as opposed to the small groups in my first video, but there isn't as much inquiry involved or discourse. The students are very involved the whole time and I have a few things that I do in the lab to make sure that everyone is getting a chance to participate in a fair, equitable environment. Another problem I have with this one is that I did it in my AP Physics class and the students feel a little too good, if that makes sense.

I've been told that the video isn't as important as your analysis, but I still think it's pretty important. Do either of these sound like reasonable choices or should I try to get another one in before the deadline?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

National board scores

by Connie

Apr 4, 2018

Has anyone passed all 4 components from 2014-2017 and then were told you didn't make the weighted score? Although, the weighted score hadn't come out until fall of 2017. What to do next?

Brandi It happened to me! I made the required score for all 4 components, but missed the weighted score requirement by 5 points. I am going to retake Component 3 since that is weighted the most. I only have to bring my score up by .4 to certify. I have way too much going on this year to retake, but plan on retaking next year.
