STEP Standard 5 - Implementation of Instructional Unit

Video Recording Link: https://youtu.be/LrU-oBj2eeI

Summary of Unit Implementation: The unit was successfully implemented through direct-instruction,
teacher-guided/led discussion, visualizations, cooperative learning, the use of technology, inquiry-based
learning, differentiation, and various forms of informal/formal and summative assessments. The students
with special needs such as 504/IEPs, ESL, ELL, Gifted/Early Finishers were accommodated adequately
according to the differentiation needed. About 75% of the students participated in the class discussions
and about 85% of the students completed/submitted homework and in-class activities.

Summary of Student Learning: The student learning process was successful in that the 32 out of 38
students were Approaching Grade Level, 21 out of 38 students Meets the Grade Level, and 17 out of 38
students Mastered Grade Level. Learning retention will be assessed for the state standard exam.

STEP Standard 6 - Analysis of Student Learning

Post-Test Data: Whole Class - Once you have assessed your students’ learning on the topic, collect and
analyze the post-test data to determine the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment.
Number of Students Number of Students
Pre-Test Post-Test

Highly Proficient 3 17
(90%-100%)
Proficient
4 21
(80%-89%)
Partially Proficient
11 32
(70%-79%)
Minimally
Proficient 6 3
(69% and below)
Post-Test Analysis: Whole Class
Based on my analysis of the whole class post-test data, I see that there was an increase of learned
knowledge and retention when compared to the pre-assessment results. Obviously, students will
know more about a given topic after you teach it to them and have them do the assigned

activities/homework than before being presented the information and completing the objectives.
The post-assessment shows an increase in students. That is due to a lack of present students on
the day the pre-assessment was administered.

Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup Selection


A subgroup of students I am focusing on would be those considered “at risk” due to /parent’s low
socioeconomic status. Many students in the Waco ISD are living below the poverty line and
therefore do not have access to as many learning opportunities or exposure as their peers living
above the poverty line do. This is simply due to the fact they and/or their parents cannot afford
the money and/or time to dedicate to further learning besides what is required in the classroom.
Post-Assessment Data: Subgroup (Gender, ELL population, Gifted, students on IEPs or 504s, etc.)

Number of Students Number of Students


Pre-Test Post-Test

Highly Proficient 1 3
(90%-100%)
Proficient
3 13
(80%-89%)
Partially Proficient
10 5
(70%-79%)
Minimally
Proficient 9 2
(69% and below)
Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup

Their performance on the post-assessment placed most of them in the approaching grade level to meets
grade level percentages. I believe these students showed improvement in their learning and exam
performance. Being that they are the largest group within the entire class(es)/school/district, they represent
most performance results. The goal is how to help them improve to a higher level of learning while
meeting those needs of lower learning students and at the same time challenging those higher-learning
students.

Post-Assessment Data: Remainder of Class

Number of Students Number of Students

Proficient
4 5
(80%-89%)
Partially Proficient
2 2
(70%-79%)
Minimally
Proficient 5 2
(69% and below)
Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup and Remainder of Class

The subgroup improved with approaching to meeting grade level performances while the
remainder of the class performed with an increase from minimally proficiency to proficiency.

The next steps to improving student learning and performance would be to review the objectives
which were unmet to the greatest degree and reassess the approach to instruction to meet those
objectives. One objective to aim for would be further in-depth student comprehension prior to the
unit assessment.

STEP Standard 7– Reflecting on Instruction to Improve Student


Progress
Improved Practice Based on the Unit of Study

Plan to Reach the Goal


Short-Term Goal
1. Better technical use of Practice presenting visual aids in a lesson
technology/visual aids before presenting in class to ensure proper
functioning of lesson slides/technology.

© 2020. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Page 30 of 33


2. Increased student engagement Collaborating with veteran
teacher/colleagues on implementing creative
and highly effective cooperative learning
ideas and strategies to engage students.

3. Better post-lesson assessment analysis I want to improve my exit ticket, post-lesson


assessments to get a better assessment
analysis so I can improve the instruction.

Long-Term Goals: Teachers who are dedicated to their profession and to improving the lives of
students will continually look for ways to grow and learn. The best way to ensure that learning is
prioritized is to create a long-term goal. Create one long term goal that is specific and
measurable. Make sure to discuss the following:
Long-Term Goal: To become highly proficient in lesson plan creating
Rationale: I do fine with making good lesson
plans now, but I feel it takes me much longer than
a seasoned teacher, which is absolutely rationale.
However, I stress more about them because I have
not been creating lesson plans for years now.
When I can make lesson plans quicker while
maintaining a high level of proficient substance, I
can commit more of my time to students as well
as my personal life such as my wife and kids. For
my students, they will benefit from having a
teacher who is a pro at being flexible with the
lesson plan so that student questions/discussions
can be addressed without losing track of time and
objectives still needing to be met. It will help me
manage my time better inside and outside of the
classroom as well as being able to provide
experience and knowledge to students and
assistance to new colleagues.
End Date: After the end of my third-year
teaching, if not sooner. I want to be realistic and
give myself enough time, so I do not miss out of
quality.
Action Timeline: I will collaborate with
colleagues in my school, department and my
Personal Learning Conference (PLC) and practice
writing lesson plans by shadowing every lesson
plan used that has been written already. I will start
08/2020 and continue until 05/2021
