For this assignment, take on the role of an elementary-level teacher at a K-5 school. Your principal has noticed how well you communicate learning objectives, guide students to set individual goals, and guide students to self-assess and track their reading progress across multiple content areas. Because of your success using these best practices, your principal has asked you to present best practices to fellow teachers across all content areas in upcoming professional development.
Best Practices Presentation
Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation to present to your teacher colleagues describing research-based instructional practices related to the self-assessing of individual reading skills, including goal setting, communicating learning objectives, monitoring student progress, providing effective feedback, and promoting self-assessment in reading across multiple content areas.
The presentation should include the following components:
How to communicate the unit or lesson learning objectives to students, and how they will be evaluated on their reading performance of those objectives
How to encourage students’ motivation and engagement through the use of technology and other strategies, creating opportunities for students’ active participation in learning, self-motivation, and positive social interaction
How to continuously monitor student progress in reading to provide effective, descriptive feedback across multiple content areas
How to work with students to collaboratively establish regarding goals, identify fluent reading, and analyze their reading skills across multiple content areas
How you can use students’ performance data to guide and engage students in thinking and learning
How self-assessment of reading progress influences students’ confidence in becoming independent readers and taking ownership of their reading progress
Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
Support your findings with 2-3 resources.
