ED5545 Curriculum & Instruction Master Practicum II Assessment Instruction Portfolio Presentation This 1st slide is a visual of what I see as the three parts of an effective education plan. A plan that will support effective teaching and efficient learning to produce academic achievement. Christine M. Burkette ED5545 Curriculum & Instruction Master Practicum II

Introduction: The graduate courses I have completed at Capella University in Curriculum & Instruction graduate program has given me a clear direction of how to plan and effective classroom assessment that will unwrap the standards to support a diverse population of learners and measure their understanding of the content using instructional strategies that will lead them to achieving success and closing the gaps in their educational profiles. “The success of a plan is best measured when those who are implementing it can see it’s Success” C.Burkette, 2010 This slide presents the knowledge and understanding I have gained in curriculum & instruction from the courses I have taken at Capella.

Curriculum Purpose Statement Assessment Instruction The purpose of this presentation is to share the process of developing the 10 week learning model for your school. My hope is this 10 week learning model will support a clear direction of how to plan and effective classroom assessment that will unwrap the standards to support a diverse population of learners and measure their understanding of the content using instructional strategies that will lead them to achieving success and closing the gaps in their educational profiles. Purpose of Competencies: Each of the documents represented in this presentation are examples of ED5545 course competencies that guided my process to develop the 10 week learning model. This slide represents the purpose of the study I plan to complete during my 2nd practicum, to complete my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction at Capella University.

Measuring Student Achievement “Closing The Achievement Gaps” 10:10 Model Data Summary Student : AW Demographics: Female student, single parent home, lower income status Measuring Student Achievement “Closing The Achievement Gaps” 5% increase from wk 1 to wk 2 17% increase from wk 2 to wk 3 18% increase from wk 3 to wk 4 16% increase from wk 4 to wk 5 6% increase from wk 5 to wk 6 17% increase from wk 6 to wk 7 27% increase from wk 7 to wk 8 12% increase from wk 8 to wk 9 30% increase from wk 9 to wk 10 4% increase from wk 10 to wk 11 The data reflects student AW increased her understanding of Algebra 1 weekly using the 10:10 Model. Although the increase was not as significant as others the student continued to show improvement This slide summarizes the data evaluated to document the student AW academic progress using the 10:10 Model. Based on these findings I plan to continue to develop the 10:10 Curriculum Model across the core content areas. Curriculum Assessment Instruction

Formulate strategies to identify appropriate topics for research. Where do we start? What role will I play in the process? Will I need to make changes to my instructional strategies? What additional resources will I need to “Close the Achievement Gap?” How will this affect curriculum & instruction? Closing the presentation with questions for them to answer for the next PD. The response from each participant will kick off the next PD with a discussion session via groups. Summarizing their ideas and presenting them to the group..setting up for the next PD..Closing the Achievement Gap? Curriculum Assessment Instruction

Conclusion Curriculum Assessment Instruction The cross roads in education today has placed a greater demand on educators as well as curriculum developers, to improve student performance. The data in my practicum study may be one more option to help Close the Achievement Gap in urban education and decrease the number of students dropping out of life. I plan to continue this study in hopes of redefining how a student success can be measured.
