Standard 2: Curriculum and Instruction

 

Candidates use instructional approaches, materials, and an integrated, comprehensive, balanced curriculum to support student learning in reading and writing.

 

      The Before, During, and After Lesson Plan attached below is an artifact that I created in my Literacy and Learning in the Content Classroom course (EDUC 530).The purpose of this lesson plan is to provide evidence in my ability to address the International Reading Association, now the International Literacy Association, Standard 2. The theme/topic of this lesson plan is animals and needs for 2nd grade science. This before, during, and after lesson was designed to incorporate literacy strategies in connection to content area reading. This lesson includes: key vocabulary, the question of the day, double-entry journals, exit slips, and a reading assessment checklist.

 

 

 

Standard 3: Assessment and Evalution

 

Candidates use a variety of assessment tools and practices to plan and evaluate effective reading instruction.  

 

      The case study attached below was developed in my Evaluation and Applied Practicum in Intermediate/Adolescent Literacy course (READ 670). The purpose of this case study is to provide evidence in my ability to address the International Reading Association, now the International Literacy Association, Standard 3. This case study was designed using a variety of assessment data to plan, implement, and evaluate individualized literacy tutoring lesson plans for a sixth grade student. This case study includes: contextual information, assessments, data analysis, instructional goals, evidence of research, instructional plan, tutoring log, literacy lessons, reflections, progress-monitoring, and a tutoring report.

Candidates create a literate environment that fosters reading and writing by integrating foundational knowledge, instructional practices, approaches and methods, curriculum materials, and the appropriate use of assessments.

 

      The Text Set attached below is an artifact that I created in my Literacy Learning in the Content Classroom course (EDUC 530). The purpose of this text set is to provide evidence in my ability to address the International Reading Association, now the International Literacy Association, Standard 5. This text set is a collection of materials to create a content area text set for 2nd grade science. The topic/concept of this text set is plant and animal habitats. This text set includes a variety of genres, across traditional linguistic and nonlinguistic platforms.

 

 

     

      The Text Set attached below is an artifact that I created in my Developing Writers course (EDUC 560). The purpose of this text set is to provide evidence in my ability to address the International Reading Association, now the International Literacy Association, Standard 5. This text set is a collection of materials to create an Onomatopoeia text set for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. The purpose of this particular text set collection is to provide students with wonderful examples of how authors incorporate onomatopoeia to evoke a sense of sound through the use of figurative language. The students will be able to use these examples as mentor texts when incorporating onomatopoeia into their own writing.
