Standard+3


 * TEACHING STANDARD #3 ** : Uses a variety of assessment strategies and data to monitor student learning and communicate with student and parents.

**New for 2011-2012** Reflection--The end-of-unit reflection used to be a 4-5 paragraph composition. We simply don't have time for that sort of thing anymore. I have replaced that reflection with a shorter, more student-friendly version. Kindly revert to the wiki page for Standard 2 and scroll down to the section featuring the twister game.

Input into final G4 Social Studies unit--Geography

This is an example of a vocabulary pre- and post-assessment for the G4 ecosystems unit. The student wrote a paragraph comparing her performance and explaining why she did better the second time round.
 * Pre and Post Vocabulary Assessment**





The student refers to two ESL class vocabulary building activities that helped her. The first is vocabulary squares and the second is a game we call "I have...who has".


 * Collection Portfolio**

Each student in World Language ESL has a collection portfolio that chronicles the student's activities undertaken in ESL and demonstrates growth.


 * Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM)--Writing**

Students have CBM data that help guide and inform instruction regarding writing. Two areas examined are
 * Total Words Written
 * Correct Word Sequence

The process of conducting CBMs has been formed by //The ABCs of CBMs: A Practical Guide to Curriculum-Based Measurement// by Michelle Hosp, John Hosp, and Kenneth Howell; www.jimwrightonline.com/pdfdocs/​cbaManual.pdf; []
