You are writing a paper using the TWS as a guideline. You are also creating a lesson that overall will use each factor as a section of your report.
You will be doing contextual, learning goals and assessment plan for the first turn in on November 10. In contextual you write about your community, school, and students. Discuss these throughly. On page 4 of TWS you are given the discussions you should have about the context of your community, school and students. Use this subheadings to lead your discussions. They include:
Community, district and school factors
Classroom factors
Student characteristics
Instructional implications.
Note in each of these subheadings information is provided to lead your discussion. Basically this section is descriptive. You are familiarizing yourself about these areas. This will assit you in getting appropriate information that will help you make good decisions about what you will teach. You must cover each of these throughly.
Notice also the page length of each factor at the bottom of page. This must be utilized to discuss this section as directed in TWS. For contextual suggested page length is 1-2 pages. If you submit a half page for this section you won't get full credit as well as you have not covered this section well and will not get full credit.
This section reveals what influences learning. students whose parents are educated may need different instruction than children whose parents have not education. Look for the factors that influence education in your school and community and make adjustments in your reporting to improve learning.
Learning Goals
Now what will you teach? What do you want your children to learn in this lesson? The topics you should cover will include:
List the learning goals
Show how the goals are aligned with local, state or national; standards
Describe types and levels of learning goals
Why are LG's appropriate for your students
You cannot teach a lesson without learning goals. Now you will construct your learning goals using the above guidelines as listed in TWS. Use your subheadings to guide your discussions. This way you will include all that is requested in this lesson. Label learning goal so that you will recognize throughout your lesson
LG I. The students will recognize the letters of the alphabets
Appropriateness: This learning goal was taken form state standard --------------------. Many of my students mayn't be familiar with the letters as others are due to the limited exposure to books, reading and other factors that are absent in the homes. The data reveals that 60% of parents in the city limits of our school cannot read (Relate information to contextual factors). Some of my students cannot recognize any letters as revealed through the posting of letters through out the classroom and the inability to identify them when working with students.
Discuss what testing instruments, and curriculums you use directed by school that aides you in assessing where students are. This will further explain how your goals are appropriate for grade level. Discuss what you do daily to ensure learning. Watch page length.
Check to see if your goals:
1.Are significant
2. Challenging
3. Have variety
4. Appropriate
5. Aligned with National, state, and local standards
Assessment
Now how do you find out what your students already know about the topics you will present with your goals? You will need to provide an assessment that will give you understanding about each student's level of current achievement. Alignment between learning goal and assessment must be created. Review the subheadings on page 8. Make sure you address each subheading to ensure you have covered all of the information needed to complete this section. Contextual factors should align with assessment.
Include chart as shown on page 8. Each heading must be included in your chart. You are discussing how you will assess students. Each of your goals should be listed showing type of assessment format, assessment and adaptations. The chart clearly shows what you should have in the chart. You don't have to create anything it is already listed on page 8. This must be done for each learning goal.
Don't forget to include your subheadings to ensure your are discussing each area as needed. Also watch page length for this section which is 1-2 pages.
Continue to work. Ask questions if you do't understand something. We can do this together
