 * // Science people fill in the blank form and John K. checks it off on tk20. //**


 * // History people, here is what Bob says: //**

// There is a Social Studies Assessment form in the artifacts section of tk-20. This gives students a place to record courses they took as undergraduates related to the 10 NCSS themes. // // They should have one course for each of the 10 themes, but two courses for a theme is also good. They do not need to list more than 2 for a theme. // // For a theme like 7 on economics, if they do not have a course in economics, they should choose a course that focused, at least in part, on issues of economics and production. // // They can list the 180 Days Adolescent Growth and Development course under Theme 4. //

3. An assessment must be filled out by your MICROTEACHING FACILITATOR (REVO)

The Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) is being developed as a nationally available assessment of readiness to teach for novices. The assessment is focused on student learning and is designed around the principles applied by successful teachers: Develop knowledge of subject matter and subject-specific pedagogy. Develop and apply knowledge of students’ varied needs. Consider research and theory about how students learn. Reflect and act on evidence of the effects of their instruction on student learning.

As a performance-based assessment, the TPA is designed to engage candidates in demonstrating their understanding of teaching and student learning in authentic, experiential ways. As a participant in this assessment, you will have an opportunity to develop a collection of materials that represents the ways in which you teach students in your “student teaching” classroom or other instructional settings. When developing your materials, you will be prompted to synthesize what you have learned throughout your preparation program and apply it with the students you currently teach. Your TPA evidence will demonstrate your current abilities, knowledge, and skills as a beginning teacher on your way to becoming a highly accomplished teacher. There are four main components to the TPA reflection. You should be able to complete: 1- a connected learning time (lessons that teach the same topic and are connected over a period of time) 2-a video of connected learning that you will use for overall reflection 3-a short video sample that will be used as evidence of your teaching and learning 4- responses to the journal prompts and questions inside the TPA Ruth-Ellen will be visiting your schools during the month of January to check-in regarding any questions you have about the TPA In this assessment, you will describe, analyze, and evaluate the teaching of a series of 3–5 lessons (or, about 3–5 hours of connected instruction) referred to as a learning segment. The learning segment should provide opportunities for students to develop their ability to comprehend, construct meaning from, and interpret complex text, and to create a written product interpreting or responding to complex features of a text, that is, features that are just beyond your students’ current skill levels. You will complete four tasks for the TPA assessment: == During the months of Dec. and January you should be working through the TPA tasks while collecting evidence related to each task. **Note and print** the Rubrics for each task and self-score your work in relation to each rubric. Be ready to bring your rubrics to our EDUC 510/696 class in February. ==
