STEP Standard 3- Assessment and Data Literacy

Pre- and post-assessments are used to assess the learning that takes place from participating in a learning activity. The pre-assessment is given to students before instruction, in order to determine their prior knowledge of the topic, or inaccurate knowledge, which is sometimes the case. After students have participated in the unit, they are given the post-assessment, which can be the same as the pre-assessment, a modified version, or something comparable that measures the same concepts.

Formative assessment is acceptable, work with your mentor teacher to determine the best way to collect data in your classroom.

Subtraction worksheet to determine how much they know. Based on what students know, the class will be dived into groups. Worksheet is “Are You Ready”?


	Number of Students
Highly Proficient (90%-100%)	5
Proficient(80%-89%)	10
Partially Proficient(70%-79%)	4
Minimally Proficient(69% and below)	3
Pre-Assessment Analysis: Whole Class
Based on the data above about the pre-assessment, the lesson did not require any changes to the academic standards I chose. Both the learning objective and learning goals will also remain the same with no changes. Students that were minimally proficient, and partially proficient were given some extra time to finish their work worksheet and given additional practice sheet to complete at home. “Using at least one formative assessment daily enables you to evaluate and assess the quality of the learning that is taking place in your classroom,” (Dodge, 2021). ReferencesDodge, J. (2021). What Are Formative Assessments and Why Should We Use Them? https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/articles/teaching-content/what-are-f

Post-Assessment –Copy and pastethe post-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’ knowledge of the topic after implementing the unit lessons. The post-assessment can be the same as the pre-assessment, a modified version, or something comparable that measures the same concepts. Include the scoring criteria used to determine whether studentsare Highly Proficient, Proficient, Partially Proficient, Minimally Proficient when it comes to meeting the learning goal and measurable objectives.

Part of the post-assessment helped me asses the students understanding of how much they knew about representing and solving subtraction problems. Additional test prep opportunities were given to the class for them to practice online for then to prepare for Getting Ready for High Stakes Assessment.The spiral review problems will help determine if the students have retained information taught during the instruction. Students will need to demonstrate and ability to add doubles.

STEP Standard 4- Unit and Lesson Planning

During the design phase, you will carefully construct activities that are geared toward improving learning outcomes in your specific disciplines. Each activity should align to instructional goals and demonstrateyour understanding of the pre-assessment data results, contextual factors, student learning needs, and management strategies.

Collaborate with your Cooperating Teacher/Mentor to design a unit of instruction that aligns to state content standards. Be sure to include technology integration and demonstrate how you will differentiate your lessons to meet the needs of individual students.

Note: When implementing the unit of study, you will be choosing one of these activities to video record, review, and reflect on your teaching in the STEP process.

Summary of Unit Implementation:

By the request of the cooperating teacher, a unit on subtraction strategies was developed to teach the understanding of subtraction strategies on a first-grade level. The activities designed for the lesson helped improve students understanding and helped improve learning. The unit first started off with a worksheet called “Are you ready”? This served as a pre-assessment tool to help diagnose prerequisite mastery, help identify intervention needs and to modify and set up leveled groups. The lesson was then followed by a subtraction song to enhance their learning. The lesson focused on solving subtraction word problems and represent subtraction in different ways, such as with objects, drawings, and equations. Students gained understanding on what subtraction means and were able to explain it in their own words. The final part of the lesson included a hands-on activity. Students used counters to help solve subtraction equations. For example, show children 10 counters, ask a volunteer to take a counter away. Next, ask children how many counters are left. ELM 590 STEP Assessment and Data Literacy Worksheet

Summary of Student Learning:

After this lesson, the activities that were given during the lesson helped improve students understanding of the topic. They were able to use their math skills to help solve subtraction problems. My observations during the lesson helped instruct me in ways that helped meet the diverse needs of each students. For example, the use of the white board helped provide visuals to the whole class while also meeting the needs of one of our students who has an IEP and benefits from this strategy. ELM 590 STEP Assessment and Data Literacy Worksheet

Reflection of Video Recording:

After watching my video and evaluating my teaching performance, I feel that being this was my actual first time teaching a lesson, I was a bit nervous. The struggle of making sure my instruction met the needs of all students was a bit challenging. The students were engaged and eager to learn and participate. Their prior knowledge based on subtraction strategies showed in their work and answers during the lesson. When it comes to addressing the need for differentiation, I feel that one thing I would like to improve would be to plan lessons that can be used for all students in stead of altering the lesson to fit the needs of that one student. Being able to do that, will allow students to all have a better sense of understanding and will not take away from time spent on individual students throughout the whole lesson, For the students who showed difficulties, I feel that pulling them out and putting them into a small group will allow them to work together. While I feel that this was one of the areas of improvement, the one strength I feel I which showed throughout the lesson was the use of engaging questions that helped students enhance their understanding. Being able to look back and use my video to evaluate how I presented my lesson, was beneficial because it helped me understand areas I may need to improve and my strengths.

Community Teaching Work Plan Proposal PICOT Question

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:

Evidence-based solution
Nursing intervention
Patient care

DQ1

What spiritual considerations surrounding a disaster can arise for individuals, communities, and health care providers? Explain your answer in the context of a natural or manmade disaster. How can a community health nurse assist in the spiritual care of the individual, community, self, and colleagues?

DQ2

Watch the “Diary of Medical Mission Trip” videos dealing with the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Reflect on this natural disaster by answering the following questions:

Propose one example of a nursing intervention related to the disaster from each of the following levels: primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Provide innovative examples that have not been discussed by previous students.
Under which phase of the disaster do the three proposed interventions fall? Explain why you chose that phase.
With what people or agencies would you work in facilitating the proposed interventions and why?

Objectives:

Explain the role of the public health nurse in disaster management.
Appraise systems designed for emergency and disaster preparedness.
Apply levels of prevention to natural and manmade disasters.
Describe the spiritual considerations surrounding disasters.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
