Component 2 & Component 4 Component 2 Focus: Differentiation Major Areas of Professional Practice Ability to evaluate learning strengths & needs for individual students Plan & implement appropriate differentiated instruction for those students Use & interpret ongoing assessment Analyze & modify instructional strategies & materials Developing Knowledge of Students Collaborating with Others Using Assessment Participating in Learning Communities Candidates discuss ways in which the two components are similar: (some examples) If you know your students, you continuously modify instruction & differentiate to meet their needs. Differentiation often requires collaboration with others or learning new strategies & techniques suited to particular students. Assessment helps to specify strengths and needs, leads to setting realistic goals. Different kinds of assessments are used throughout a school year. Different kinds of units of study may require unique assessments or additional collaboration. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

These two components build upon one another in a way that will help candidates approach Component 4 with more confidence. It’s essential that candidates examine their school year curriculum and plan in advance for the information they will be collecting about students, but also to consider and reflect upon how they contribute to various learning communities to impact student learning.

C4 – Overview and Planning Chart This resource is intended to “lay out” the process in a sequential order – not that planning will be sequential, candidates may need to move between columns while planning. Have CCFs discuss how they would use this with their candidates. Why would this be helpful? Open Discussion: In what ways might this chart be helpful?

Use the standards from the Unit and the KOS to set goals Decide on a Unit of Study Use the standards from the Unit and the KOS to set goals Plan for types of assessments during Unit of Study Use C4 Resource 1.8 to decide on types of assessment given Use C4 Resource 1.5 for ideas on how to gain KOS Use C4-1.6 to record KOS This page focuses on the first part of the plan – planning on gathering knowledge of students and planning on assessment. It gets the candidate to take notes while planning. Columns 5 & 6 help candidates to plan what type of assessment will be given. Use C4-1.7 to gather ideas for assessment. Same assessment can be used for both…it is what you do with the data once it is gathered – inform instruction vs give a grade. NB is counting on the good instruction being there. They are asking for only the formative assessment materials, the summative assessments materials, and the student self-assessment materials Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University.

Could pose for an open discussion: What Other Resources would you use with your candidates to help them consider all the ways they gather information about and describe their students? The key here is to include information that is relevant to the unit of study. For example, in Coal City I had children that were displaced from their homes due to the tornado last summer. This information may not be relevant to a Unit of Study in math, but it most certainly would be relevant to a social studies unit on family…unless of course there were children showing emotional distress on a daily basis, then it might be relevant to any unit of study you would be doing. You may add yourself in the 2nd column if you are collecting baseline informatin or completing a KWL chart with your children.

Closure Understanding Component 4 Expectations: How does creating a plan for collecting information about my students help me organize for this component? Planning the next steps for this entry: How will I determine my Unit of Study? How will I use multiple sources to collect information about my students? Understanding assessments: How will I use the types of assessment – formative, self assessment, & summative assessment for this Unit of Study?

Cohort members reflect on the session together Any cohort member can take notes for the group Teacher Liaison uses this form to share what’s happening in the cohort with the administrator Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.

Be Sure to Reflect on: Students Teaching Strategies It’s essential that candidates take time to consider what they noticed about their students in reflecting on their teaching. As they reflect on their students, they may determine other teaching strategies they need to try or revisit based upon their student knowledge and the conversations today. It may be too much to ask to have them reflect on both, but perhaps it isn’t for your candidates. This is also an opportunity for candidates to share logistical information with you about the cohort session. Using this individual form may be a safer way for some candidates to share concerns or questions. Copyright © 2018 National Board Resource Center at Illinois State University. All Rights Reserved.
