Reading Levels

Description
12 females and 8 males
I would need to create a
classroom environment that
makes all the students feel
equal with no gender being
left out.
All 20 students receive free
lunch.
This lets me know that the
students come from a low
socioeconomic status.
1 student is reading on a 3rd
grade level. 2 students are
reading on the 2nd grade level.
17 students are reading on a
1st grade level but some are
not far from the 2nd grade
level.
Since 3 students are on track
with their reading, I would
have to find ways to
accommodate the other
students. As the teacher, I can
provide more reading

strategies during the lessons.


The schools main focus is on
the subject ELA and
mathematics, so there is less
time for Science and Social
Studies. Some days the
subjects are not taught.
1 student gets pulled out for
resource. 1 student gets
pulled out for speech. 1
student gets pulled out for
counselor. 1 student gets
pulled out for ESOL.
I would make sure to
accommodate all these
students in the lessons and
activities.
19 students are African
American. 1 student is
Hispanic.

Classroom observations

I would make sure that I treat


all the students fairly. Since
the class is predominantly
African American with the
exception of one student, I
would make sure that they are
included in the lessons and
activities by providing
examples of their culture.

teacher
The student who has sickle
cell may miss days from
school so I would have to
make sure that they are
caught up in their work and
on track with students in the
class. On days that they are

present, I may have to pull


them aside and have one on
one time. The student who
has epilepsy will have
moments in class where they
may fall asleep. Without
making a big scene, I would
make sure that they are up
and alert during lessons.
This information is of primary importance because as their teacher I need to know all of my
students in the classroom. I need to know their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles when it
comes to planning the instruction. I need to provide strategies that will incorporate all learners. I
will use this information to provide my students with a safe and positive environment to help
them succeed.

Section II: Long Range Learning and/or Developmental Goals


Subject: English Language Arts
Long Range Learning and/or Developmental Goals
MC.6.1 Retell the central ideas and key details from multi-paragraph texts; summarize the text
by stating the topic of each paragraph heard, read, or viewed.
P. 1.1 Recognize the distinguishing features of a sentence.
MC.7.1 Retell the sequence of major events using key details; determine the theme in a text
heard or read.
MC.8.1 Read or listen closely to (a) compare and contrast characters actions, feelings, and
responses to major events or challenges.
P 2.2 Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds, including consonant blends in
spoken words.
The goals that are most important for all students to achieve are retelling the central and key
details from a text and recognizing the distinguishing features of a sentence. Retelling the central
and key ideas help students with their reading comprehension skills. Students are able to
understand what they are reading or heard and eliminate unwanted information. Distinguishing
the features of a sentence lets students know the elements to making a correct sentence
(capitalization, punctuation mark).
Subject: Mathematics
Long Range Learning and/or Developmental Goals

2.NSBT.1b Understand place value through 999 by demonstrating that the hundreds digit in a
three-digit number represents the number of hundreds, the ten digit represents the number of
tens, and the ones digit represents the number of ones.
2.NBST.4 Compare two numbers with up to three digits using words and symbols (i.e., >, =, or
<).
2.NBST. 2 Count by tens and hundreds to 1,000 starting with any numbers.
2.ATO.2 Demonstrate fluency with addition and related subtraction facts through 20.
I believe each of these goals to be equally important because the pacing guides main focus is on
place value and addition and subtraction. These are concepts that students should understand at a
young age because it can be related to real life situations such as dealing with money. They will
handle money and need to be able to count it, add, subtract, and determine the value.
Subject: Science
Long Range Learning and/or Developmental Goals
2.P.3A.1 Analyze and interpret data from observation and measurements to describe the
properties used to classify matter as a solid or a liquid.
2.E.2A.1 Analyze and interpret data from observations and measurements to describe local
weather conditions (including temperature, wind, and forms of precipitation).
2-3.3 Illustrate the weather conditions of different seasons.
2.E.2A.4 Obtain and communicate information about severe weather conditions to explain
why certain safety precautions are necessary.
The goal that is most important for students to achieve is knowing about severe weather
conditions and why certain safety precautions are necessary. With everything happening in the
world for the last two years it is important so that students are aware, know what to look for, and
ways to stay safe when disasters occur.
Subject: Social Studies
Long Range Learning and/or Developmental Goals
2-3.5 Explain the effects of supply and demand on the prices of goods and services.
2-1.3 Recognize the features of urban, suburban, and rural areas of the local region.
2-1.2 Recognize characteristics of local region, including its geographic features and natural
resources.
2-2.4 Explain the role of elected leaders, including mayor, governor, and president.
I feel that all of the goals is important for students to learn. To align with events happening in the
world this year, I would say that 2-2.4 Explain the role of elected leaders, including mayor,
governor, and president is important for students. They are able to know the importance of each

of these leaders and their contributions. Even though they are nowhere near the age to vote, it is
still important for them to see and know about the future president of the United States.

I determined that my major assessments are appropriate for evaluating student progress and
achievement by making sure that they corresponded with the standards provided in the
Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5 pacing guide for each content area. I also made sure
that the assessments only assess the materials that was taught in the class. To help my students
and their parents understand the evaluation criteria I have established for the class/subject is
making sure that parents and students are aware of the grading scale used. Also, a newsletter is
sent home every week. The newsletter tells what materials will covered during the next week.
The students overall progress and achievements are reported to parents on the students progress
reports and on their quarterly report card.

Section IV B: Assessment of Student Performance-Record Keeping


A. The students assignments are graded throughout the day. This will include classwork,
homework, quizzes, tests, and activities. Once the assignments are graded, the grades will
be placed in the school program Power School. Then, they are placed in the students
folder. The reason for this is to keep a record of the students work to have if parents stop
by to discuss their childs progress.
B. The students grades are aggregated by being placed in Power School. It is the modern
day grade book used to display the students achievements. The data is displayed on
bulletin boards. One of the boards is in the school hallway and it is shared by the 2nd
grade team. The other board is located in the classroom. Along with the students work
being on the board is a student data chart for ELA and Math. At the end of each week, the
students take a test in the above subjects and its displayed on the board with a green,
yellow, or red circle. Green means passed, yellow means average/barely passed and red
means failed.
C. I will use the data to make instructional decisions by analyzing it to see if the students
mastered the concept. If the concept is not mastered, I will reteach the concept with new
strategies to better assist my students. Once the concept is mastered, we will move on to
the next unit.

Section V: Classroom Management


EXPECTATIONS DURING INSTRUCTION
Each student should follow all rules in out and out the classroom. When students arrive to
school in the morning, they are to go straight to the cafeteria and wait until the bell rings. Once
the first bell ring, students are to go to the designated area and wait for the teacher. Upon
entering the classroom, students are to come in quietly and unpack. They need to take out their
homework, if any, and put it in its assigned spot, take out two pencils, put up their book bags,
and sit quietly. The students will be called up by sections to get their pencil sharpened. Upon
completion, students are to take their seats and get started on the DOL until further instruction.

During instruction students should pay attention at all times and raises their hand to
participate.

Rules

3. Rule Reflection Corner (students explains in writing which rule(s) was broken and how
they will change their behavior. Decrease conduct grade to Needs Improvement).
4. Call parent (decrease conduct grade to Unsatisfactory).

The most important consideration in managing the classroom to maximize instructional time is
following all classroom rules and consequences. This creates structure in the classroom because
students know what is expected and that disruption or behavioral issues are not tolerated. This is
important because it will allow the teacher to get through the lesson without any interruptions
and the students will be focused at all times.

Section VI: Parent Communications


To provide initial information about my goals and expectations for student learning, I would
send out a parent letter to parents. In the letter, I would introduce myself giving a little
background information, explain my goals and expectations for the students, provide parents
with a way to contact me, and invite them to classroom. After reading the letter to the child
and for themselves, they and their child are to sign the letter and return it the next day. I can
periodically inform parents about their childs learning by sending out weekly newsletters. The
newsletter would include what we will be doing in the class for that week, spelling words for
the week, helpful websites, and a reminder section. I would provide several websites that
would be of assistance to students. In the reminder section, I would remind parents to read
with their child every day and provide important dates and events. I would inform parents
about their childs behavioral progress by sending home a behavior chart everyday marked
with the childs behavior in green(good), yellow(ok), and red(bad). I would also provide a
comment section on the chart for parents. I provided parents in home-based activities in the
newsletter by providing helpful educational websites that they can use with their child. I can
also provide them with extension activities to assist their child to apply the knowledge or skill
learned from the lessons and projects. For school based activities, I can send out an open
invitation inviting parents to events to have them involved.
A. Strengths: My strength of my long range plan was that I made sure to align my lessons
and activities to the standards provided in the Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5
pacing guide.
B. Weaknesses: My weaknesses of my long range plan were time management and
classroom management. I need to make sure that I am thoroughly completing my lessons
in a timely matter by not going over time frames. I have to understand that I cant teach
everything in one day and that it is alright to finish it the next day. With classroom
management, I need to enforce rules and consequences at all times and not let certain
behavioral problems slide.
C. I plan to evaluate my long range plan every two weeks to see if I am on track with
everything and if they are any adjustments to be made. I may have to adjust the length on

some standards because the students might need more time to be spent on it, so I would
have to reteach it with new strategies to better assist the students. Also, some standards
might not use its whole time if the students grasped the materials quickly.
D. 1. Time management
2.Classroom management
3. Integrating other areas in the subjects
E. I plan to reflect on my teaching practices everyday by listing my strengths and

weaknesses of my instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management. This


allows me to see what works and what will not work with the students. The weekly
conferences with my cooperating teaching will be reflected on as well. I will take the
information and use it to assist me so that I can better assist the students.
