| August 09, 2007 - 07:32 PM I am a graduate student of CSULB Hi first and second grade teachers. Can you all please assist me in completing my assignment by responding to these interview questions. These questions pertain to about how all of you design classroom based and standards-based classroom assessments. Here are the questions: Analysis of the Teacher Constructed Assessment (30 points) Review a set of assessment from a classroom teacher and interview the teacher about how to design classroom- based and standards-based classroom assessments. Use the following questions to guide your interview with the teacher: o What is your view on the relationship among assessment, standards, and instruction? Which is the driving force? o What recourses do you usually use when you design your test? Why? o In what ways or how do you align the test items with the content standards? o Are all the important instructional topics represented in about the correct proportions on the test? o Is there a proper balance between conceptual understanding, procedural development, and problem solving? How do you make sure the balance among three parts in your test? o Is there a proper balance of cognitive processes required or is there an overemphasis on rote knowledge? Why? o What types of questions (MS, CR) do you have in this test? Explain why you have each type of questions? o What is the reliability according to your view?

Written Report should include the following parts: • The original test with all questions (5 points) • Teachers’ responses on each questions (10 points) • Your reflection on learning from this interview (10 points) • Interview information: School, teacher’s name, grade level, subjec... | ||||||||
| August 08, 2007 - 11:35 PM Are you familiar with the book THE HUNDRED DRESSES? It is a terrific book that teaches a lesson about treating people who are different kindly. However, it was written some time ago and is dated. My third grade students no longer seem to enjoy reading it. I am looking for a newer more up to date novel that teaches this same lesson. Any suggestions? It will need to be a fairly simple, one that third graders can read. Thank you. | ||||||||

| July 23, 2007 - 08:54 AM I am a brand new ELL teacher this year after almost 9 years as a special/elementary education teacher. I am very nervous and anxious about this new position. Can someone please help me? I am responsible for reading and language arts grades, but I am not even sure how to set up my grade book. Do I follow what the teachers do in terms of lesson plans? I am a little nervous because I am not sure how to go about setting up my room for this class. I also have to tutor four days a week and go into the other lower grades for 45 mins/wk. Do I talk to the principal? My supervisor? What should I do? I want to make a great impression, but I am not sure where to start? I am sorry if it sounds like I am ranting and everything, it"s just my last week before I start. I am also trying to get moved in with my in-laws before I start next Monday and take care of business here before I leave. Any and all advice would be great. | ||||||||
