Pre-Assessments and Rubrics

• Used grade level curriculum map to stay on track with grade level.

• Used county math assessments to guide students to meet and exceed standards.

• Used mandated essential questions to create assessments. Used Bloom’s Taxonomy to create leveled questions for whole group and tiered assignments.

• Use Common Core and Georgia standards to plan lesson content.

• Collaborated with first grade teachers to plan content for each week.

• Use RtI and IST recommended accommodations for specific learners.

Making Connections to Content

· In the book, half of the cow was blue. What fraction of the cow was white? (Group1)

·How can we write the fraction for the part of the cow that is red? (Group 2)

·What would happen if the cow had hurt another leg too? Would it change the fraction? Why or Why not? (Group 3)

·Could the flower be fairly shared? Why or why not? (All Groups)

Whole Group Leveled Questions

Individual-They would

have four parts

Pairs-They would be a pizza with four pieces.

Group-They would be in a fraction army and be called by their fraction name.

Students who did not meet or exceed were given additional

opportunities to review learning content in small groups and additional assessments to

determine the specific areas in which they lacked understanding.

I believe that teachers are the guiders of student learning rather than facilitators of knowledge.Environmental, content, process, and product differentiation are the keys to meeting the needs of all learners in whole group and small group settings.The best way to engage learners is to help them make connections to content through technology and real-world hands-on experiences!Every child has the opportunity to succeed if they are given the proper learning tools!

Philosophy of Education

“No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be.Not all the books on all the shelves – but what the teachers are themselves.” ~Rudyard Kipling
