Assignment Part 4
Initially, I noticed that there was a significant area of concern for the English Language. The primary concern in that, approximately half of the students did not reach mastery levels. In the previous parts of the assignment, it was discovered that there was an opening to improve the area of concern in literacy. At this school, I would have interviewed three different teachers from the same grade level. These are Mrs. Drew, Mr. James, and Mr. Colquitt. The following questions would have been asked during the interview. For example, what key points are useful in keeping students engaged in the central area of concern, how can students use the feedback given to improve future assessments, and how can the teacher close the gap on primary concern in English Language.
For the first question, all teachers had important points they used on their students. However, each one was different. All educators were seen to use different critical points in their classroom to improve future assessments. These included dedicating to writing and talking about the meanings, lessons, and essential ideas in texts. For the second question, some responses showed that one teacher provides a one-on-one and explains how to break down the question for better understanding. Another teacher divides the class in 2-3 groups. In the last question, all educators agreed that closing the gaps to student achievement is process and a goal.
During the classroom analysis, several points were evident where I noticed when teachers instructed the students. I noticed that several students had mastered the subject. In addition, as the teachers included a high quality lesson plan, they posted learning objectives in the required format on the whiteboard.
The recommendation for professional development is integration of learning designs. This will help teachers think about the active engagement and get feedback from the students (Mizell, 2010).
