To Whom it May Concern ,

I am writing to express my interest in the teaching position in your school. During my voluntary service at
Basha Elementary School, I became the best student teacher that I can yet be excited to expand my
knowledge on being a better educator. I am convinced that my extra set of hands can fill the gap of unfilled
teaching posts. In this cover letter, I will elaborate on my motivation and qualifications required for this
vacancy.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is Adassa Delgado, and I have multiple years of experience in
education, if it were a job or an internship that I experienced. The prominent job experience that secured my
dream career was being an academic tutor at the ASU America Reads. The duties that I completed on a
weekly basis were creating lesson plans to involve math, reading, and writing in an engaging way to provide
students in Title I schools the encouragement and success in their classroom.

I was pleased when reading the job advertisement, because I know that your school is recognized for
student diversity, achieving academic excellence and digital learning. I notice the complexity of the current
educational landscape, but the ambition to help students achieve their goals, never gets old. As a recent
student teacher, I found my passion, and commitment to teaching, have grown over the years.

During my fourth year at Arizona State University, I participated in my student teaching experience for 6th
grade. According to my mentors, see references, I was highly praised for detailed lesson plans and culturally
relevant activities. My study program received recognition as being the 10th best teacher’s college in the
nation. Since then, I used my expertise and enthusiasm for becoming a teacher in any teaching and tutoring
opportunity.

While my attached resume will give you an outline of my abilities, I would be interested to further elaborate
on how I can contribute to the educational program at your school in a personal meeting. Please feel free to
contact me at 480.616.3974 or via AdassaDelgado@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest and
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Adassa Delgado

PEDAGOGY

I believe that every child brings a new and unique


perspective to the classroom that should be
cherished and recognized. An educator’s role is to
facilitate learning while expanding young student’s
interest and curiosity. There is an expectation in the
classroom that student ownership can be learned
and incorporated into students’ lives to become an
individual who respects all others.
differentiated
INSTRUCTION

Every child that enters my classroom is a unique


learner with different strengths, interests, and
abilities. I differentiate instruction by incorporating
student choice, honoring different learning styles,
and setting individualized goals. I provide targeted
instruction in small group settings along with one-
on-one support, and use ongoing formative
assessments to gather data on my students progress
and needs.

The role of the


educator is to
arrange victories
for the students.
- Quintilian
classroom
MANAGEMENT

Building trust and relationships with the students


must be established in the beginning of the school
year. They must know and feel that you care for
them and you want them to feel safe and successful
in the classroom. I also plan to effectively
communicate my classroom expectations: Be safe,
Be kind, and Be prepared. These expectations will
be consistently followed and implemented to help
lessen behavioral issues with my students.
home
COMMUNICATION

It is extremely important to me to create home


connections once the school year begins. I want to
make it clear to the guardian of the student for us
to work together to make sure that their child is
successful.
When reaching out to home for behavioral/academic
concerns, I will focus on their successes and the
unique abilities. It will be emphasized that my goal
is to work with the parents to solve the situation
together.
I will organize these communications with an online
platform for care takers to have record of the
positive and negative behaviors since some
guardians may be limited in the amount of time they
can provide during after school hours.
classroom
MOTIVATION

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT! I always loved the


effect rewards had on students. I plan on motivating
students with awards and bonuses when they
perform especially well academically and
behaviorally. This can be a compliment, star,
sticker, or time with their classmates. It's those
little moments of recognition that will keep them
happy and excited to learn.

Appropriate
Measures
Common Core State Standards:

6.SP. B Summarize and describe distributions.

6.SP.B.5 Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context by:


a) Reporting the number of observations.
b) Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation including how it was measured and its units of
c) measurement.
d) Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean
e) absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall
pattern.
f) with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
g) Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context
h) in which the data were gathered.

6.MP.3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.


Objective (Explicit):
• Given real world examples, students will be able to choose an appropriate measure of central tendency with 90
percent accuracy.
• Given the sentence starters called Math Talk, students will be able to construct viable arguments and critique
the reasoning of other respectively by encouragement of the respective sentences with 75% students
participating.

Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):


 Include a copy of the lesson assessment.
 Provide exemplar student responses with the level of detail you expect to see.
 Assign value to each portion of the response
Carson is determining which measure of center best describes the data set {12, 18, 16, 44, 15, 15}. He says that
𝟏𝟐+𝟏𝟖+𝟏𝟔+𝟏𝟓+𝟏𝟓
the mean best represents the data since = 𝟏𝟓. 𝟐. Find his mistake and correct it.
𝟓
Falls Far Below A student who falls far below would not be able to find the mistake in Carson’s work nor be able to
recognize the median is the appropriate measure of center.

Approaching A student who approaches recognizes the miscalculation and would find the mean but would not
accurately say that the median best represents the data.

Meets A student who meets would recognize that Carson forgot to include the outlier in calculating the mean. A
student who meets would understand that the median would best represent the data since the outlier skews the mean.

Exceeds A student who exceeds would recognize the mistake that Carson did not include the outlier. Afterwards, the
student would answer that the mean correctly is 20, yet the median that is 15.5 and best describes the data because
the outlier affects the mean more than it affects the outlier.
Sub-objectives, SWBAT (Sequenced from basic to complex):
 How will you review past learning and make connections to previous lessons?
 What skills and content are needed to ultimately master this lesson objective?
 How is this objective relevant to students, their lives, and/or the real world?
• Prior Knowledge
The lesson “Appropriate Measures” is lesson five (out of five) in chapter 11, Statistical Measures. Meaning,
the students will be given the chapter test the day after receiving the lesson. The prior knowledge the
students will need is to be able to recall the rest of the vocabulary in the chapter and how to apply it. This
whole unit, we tied vocabulary words to superheroes and their definitions would be their “power”. To be
successful in the lesson, students will be required to recall the procedure taught on how to apply the
vocabulary words (i.e. mean, median, mode) so that they can accurately find which measure of center is
most appropriate.
• Meaningful/Relevant for Students

In the lesson, the students will be given a time in their life when mean is used. The grades of the students are
the average amount of points scored on their assignment/quiz/test. Therefore, the students and teacher will
discuss the meaningfulness of this if instead of their grade being the mean, how would you feel if it were the
mode or median. Next, give explicit examples of when some data prefers the median, and when it prefers the
mode.

“One of the factory owners lives in the town and his salary is in the millions of dollars. If you use a measure
like the average to try to compare salaries in the town, the owner's income would severely throw off the
numbers. This is where the measure of mode can be useful in the real world. It tells you what most of the
pieces of data are doing within a set of information.

For example, if you wish to find the average grade on a test for your class but one student fell asleep and
scored a 0, the mean will show a much lower average because of one low grade, while the median would show
how the middle group of students scored.”

https://sciencing.com/uses-mean-median-mode-6323388.html

• Skills/Content/Knowledge to Master the objective


Other than being able to recall the prior knowledge from the chapter to ultimately master this lesson,
students need to stay engaged and take complete notes of the lesson. Students must ask questions when
they are confused in order to master the objective.

• New Learning
The new learning the students will receive is how to determine which Measures of Center is most
appropriate for representing the data. They will also learn how the outlier in a set of data can really affect
the measures of center in different ways, and how to identify the difference the outlier makes when its in
data and when we remove it.

Key vocabulary: Materials:

Measures of center - Numbers that are used to describe the Appropriate Measures Google Slides
center of a set of data. These measures include the mean,
median, and mode. Student notebooks
Mean - The sum of the numbers in a set of data divided by the
number of pieces of data. Anchor Charts
Average - The sum of two or more quantities divided by the
number of quantities, the mean. Glue Sticks
Measures of center - Numbers that are used to describe the
center of a set of data. These measures include the mean, Fake money
median, and mode.
Median - A measure at the center in a set of numerical data. The Prizes
median of a list of values is the value appearing at the center of a
sorted version of the list - or the mean of the two central values, if
the list contains an even number of values.
Mode - The numbers or lists that appear most often in a set of
data.
Outliers - A value that is much greater than or much less than the
other values in a set of data.

Opening (state objectives, connect to previous learning, and make relevant to real life)
 How will you activate student interest?
 How will you connect to past learning?
 How will you present the objective in an engaging and student-friendly way?
 How will you communicate its importance and make the content relevant to your students?
• Written as a script – how will you hook your students? Communicate the learning
objective.
To activate student interest, show the students the presentation that begins with seeing
a villain and the terrible actions that they have done to a city in Japan. “But don’t worry!
The Measures of Center were there to save the day!” and a slide showing Mean, Median,
and Mode would be shown at this point. After the team of heroes contained the villain
and brought them into the custody of the police, now it is time to help the pedestrians
that may have been impacted by the battle that occurred.

As you explain these next tasks that the heroes do, tell the students to show you a
thumbs up if they understand why the hero is doing what they are doing, based off the
definition and procedure that they have learned. Make sure to explain why its
understandable for those students struggling to make the connections.

Median mainly worked in the center where some individuals were at the health station
(students learned that median is middle of the set of data so it should be understandable
why they would work at the health station which is in the middle of the battle scene).
Mean was the person that was bringing everyone to the station, even if they were nearby,
or if they were super far (Mean/Average is where we add up all the numbers together, so
for the hero to bring the pedestrians to the same place is clear).
Lastly, Mode was helping the pedestrians that needed the most help (Most is finding the
value that is most frequent in the data set).

Present to the students this question as a HYPOTHETICAL question: If you were making
a news report on this situation, which hero would you put on the front cover based on
the work that they have done?

Next, present the objective that the students will be able to proficiently understand by the
end of the lesson: choose an appropriate measure of central tendency.
Either a student will read this, or do popcorn read (read majority but pause randomly,
students will read the next word where you paused, and repeat).

“Or in other words, you will be able to figure out which hero will be out on the front
cover.”

• Prior Knowledge
The prior knowledge needed to be for the opening is to have a complete understanding
of the Measures of Center (mean, median, and mode). Secondly, students will be required
to make connection to the imaginary hero world made up to the math definitions.
However, explain to the students what the connection should be made since its not a
requirement to do so.

• Relevance
The relevance that we will talk about will be mainly discussed in the end. Try to spend
about 10 minutes talking mainly on the real life uses of mean, median, and mode at the
end of the lesson. These next sentences are in greater detail at the end of the lesson
plan, since again, we will mainly talk about the relevance at the end.
An example where mean is used is within your grades. An example of median is looking
at the middle of data on a set of grades. If there was a student that fell asleep in the exam
and received a zero, the median makes a good representation of the data. Lastly, Mode
would be beneficial in a situation at looking at the yearly incomes and if a lot of the
population had the same exact income.
Teacher Will: Student Will:
 How will you model/explain/demonstrate all knowledge/skills  What will students be doing to actively capture and
required of the objective? process the new material?
 What types of visuals will you use?  How will students be engaged?
 How will you address misunderstandings or common student
errors?
 How will you check for understanding?
 How will you explain and model behavioral expectations?
 Is there enough detail in this section so that another person could
teach it?

Modeling of learning During the independent practice,


expectations – what do you students have been told that they will
be taking notes in their Math notebook
want your students to be able to do? and that questions are welcomed.
I DO – no student Students are also aware of the process
that we are going to be taking where

represent the data.
Show the slide that is titled “News Report, front

Instructional Input

how an expert news reporter would complete anchor charts made into their
this. At this time, only I will be talking and notebook. Secondly, the heroes shown
sometimes as you to answer but with raised are also culturally relevant since
hands. students would recognize them.

Sometimes, one measure is more appropriate


than others to use to summarize a data set.

Have students copy the anchor chart


information in their notes and read it out loud
as they write it down.

Most appropriate when…


Mean The data have no extreme
values.
Median The data have extreme
values.
There are no big gaps in the
middle of the data.
Mode Data have many repeated
numbers

Example to the students when these would


happen in data and how to use the anchor chart
to solve which measure of center best
represents the data.

Are there extreme values (outliers)?


If yes, it is the mean.
If no, does the data have any big gaps in the
middle of the data?
If yes, it is the median.
Does the data have a lot of repeated numbers?
If yes, it is the mode.

Year 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008


Number
of 112 101 97 103 110
Medals

Since the set of data has no extreme values or


numbers that are repeated, the mean would
best represent the data.

Water Temperature (◦F)


82 85 82 81 82 82 78

In the set of data, there are no extreme values.


There is a temperature repeated four times, so
the mode of 82 is the measure of center that
best represents the data.

Since we will dive deeper into the extreme


values in a set, tell the students we will think-
pair-share something that we learned in the
lesson so far, or a misconception they may
have for 45 seconds.

Next, you will begin going into a deeper


concept looking at the outliers and still
choosing the appropriate measure.

Ask a student to try and repeat the definition of


outlier from the previous lesson.
Outliers - A value that is much greater than or
much less than the other values in a set of
data.

Tell them that there will be some problems


where we look at how the outlier affects the
mean, median, and mode of the data.

They will use a chart to help them organize


their work for comparing the data with the
outlier and without the outlier. Have them copy
this chart into their notes:

Step 1: Identify any outlier in the data set.


Compared to the other values, 200 years is
extremely high. So, it is an outlier.

Step 2: Find the mean median and mode with


and without the outlier.

With the Outlier Without the Outlier

Step 3: Which measure of center best


describes the data with and without the outlier?
The mean was affected the most with the
outlier. The median life span changed very little
with and without the outlier, so it best
describes the data in both cases. The mode
does not describe the data very well since
there were only two repeated numbers.

 What accommodations/modifications will you include for specific students?
 Do you anticipate any students who will need an additional challenge?

For the students who have IEP’s and 504s, they will be given a copy of the instructional input in the
beginning of class so that they can include any notes on that paper if it needs be. They will be given
multiple anchor charts with engaging fonts and pictures that are easy to understand to glue into their
notebook.
In the independent practice, students who need an additional challenge will be always prompted to think
about the problem on their own first if they choose and see how my instruction is different than their ideas.

If yes, it is the mean.
If no, does the data have any big gaps in the

If yes, it is the median.
Does the data have a lot of repeated numbers?
If yes, it is the mode.

So, which measure best represents the data?

Differentiation Strategy
 What accommodations/modifications will you include for specific students?
 Do you anticipate any students who will need an additional challenge?
 How can you utilize grouping strategies?

For the students who need accommodations, their guided practice will include an organized detailing of
solving the problem with blanks for them to fill in as we move along. This allows for the student to
continuously pay attention to the instruction than to be focused on getting the notes down at a slower rate
than the rest of the class.
Students that may have an additional challenge, I would as them to begin thinking about how much the
outlier changes the measure of centers.
Some grouping that will be done during the think-pair-share is they will talk to someone around them the
first time, then talk to someone new the second time. This way they can hear multiple explanations in
different ways and to even challenge thinking.

problem with the answers. And as always, students would be encouraged to come to the fronts to ask
questions.

For students who finish early, they will get the chance to earn more money by accurately solving more
problems. I will have extra problems at the front to hand out once they are done with the first little practice

Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:


 How will students summarize and state the significance of what they learned?
 Why will students be engaged?
• Revisit the Objective
• Summarize the learning
• Restate the Relevance

Prior to visiting the objective again, teacher and students will talk about relevance of
mean, median, and mode. Ask the students to raise their hand if they would like to
respond to a question. “Your grade, is it the mean, median, or mode of all your
assignments/tests?” This initiates the conversation that the mean is thing that
represents your grade. Ask them why the median would not be a good center of
measure. Students should talk about how the median would give the grade that is in the
middle and will not include the good test grades you got. Lastly, we will talk about the
mode and how if you did poorly on an assignment multiple times, that would be your
grade.

However, median and mode are important in other situations. “An example of median is
looking at the middle of data on a set of grades. If there was a student that fell asleep in
the exam and received a zero, the median makes a good representation of the data.
Lastly, Mode would be beneficial in a situation at looking at the yearly incomes and if a
lot of the population had the same exact income.” https://sciencing.com/uses-mean-
median-mode-6323388.html
Revisit the battle with the villain from the beginning of the lesson and the
HYPOTHETICAL questions given to them in the beginning.
If you were making a news report on this situation, which hero would you put on the front
cover based on the work that they have done?
The objective that the students should be able to proficiently understand and complete
by now is choose an appropriate measure of central tendency.

We learned about mean, median, and mode and when to identify which one appropriately
represents the data. Ask students “what is something that you learned about in
appropriately representing data that is important?”

Give the students feedback on how they did as a class behaviorally and academically.

I had the opportunity to teach this lesson in the four classes I saw. Thankfully, we were able to review the HOT question in those classroom, but I did loose
track of time in the class that I filmed the lesson in. For students who exceeded the hot order question, I will meet with the students and ask if there is anything
that I can help in making their understanding greater than what it is. I will ask if they feel comfortable teaching the class why the answer was what it was. For
students who met the expectations of the problem, I will ask them to work with the students who approaches to help those students possibly receive a greater
understanding. For students who falls far below, I will ask Mrs. Rhodes to meet with them individually and fix any misconceptions.

Polygon: Closed figure formed by 3 or more straight lines.

Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and opposite sides the same
length

Rhombus: A parallelogram with 4 equal sides.

1
Base: The base of a parallelogram can be anyone of its sides.

Height: The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Formula: An equation that shows a relationship among certain quantities.

OPENING

Students will write Chapter 9 Lesson 1 on the top of their notes to get us started. The
teacher will start the class with an attention getter. This activity will have the students
pick the shape that is most appealing for them. The students will be directed to write this
in their journal so that they remember. The teacher will talk about the meanings of your
choice based on what you picked.

SQUARE

You’re an organized, logical and hardworking person who likes structure and rules. But sometimes you have trouble
making decisions because you always want more information.

How to spot a square: They appear to move stiffly, use precise gestures, love routine and are very concerned with detail.
They’re also very neat in their appearance and work space. They do a lot of planning and are always prompt.

RECTANGLE

You’re a courageous, exciting and inquisitive explorer who always searches for ways to grow and change. You enjoy trying
things you’ve never done before and love asking questions that have never been asked.

How to spot a rectangle: These people often have fleeting eyes and flushed faces. They also tend to giggle and they like
variety. For example, they’ll come into work early or late, but not on time. And those who have offices tend to be
disorganized with a mishmash of furniture.

TRIANGLE

You’re a born leader who’s competitive, confident and decisive. You also like recognition and are interested in politics.
American business has traditionally been run by triangles and they’re usually men.

How to spot a triangle: They’re very stylish and expensive dressers. They have powerful voices, love to tell jokes and play
as hard as they work.

CIRCLE

You’re a “people person” with lots of sympathy and consideration for others. You listen and communicate well and are
very perceptive about feelings. You like harmony and hate making unpopular decisions.

How to spot a circle: They’re friendly, nurturing, persuasive and generous. They tend to be relaxed and smile a lot. They’re
talkative, but have a mellow voice. They also have a full laugh and love to touch others on the shoulder and arm.

SQUIGGLE

2
You’re a creative person who’s always thinking of new ways to do something. But you don’t think in a deliberate pattern
from A to B to C. Instead, you tend to jump around in your mind, going from A to M to X.

How to spot a squiggle: They’re flamboyant, dramatic and extremely creative – and they don’t like highly structured
environments. Both men and women squiggles tend to be sexy, witty and very expressive. They also have great intuition.
Most performers and writers are squiggles.

DIRECT INSTRUCTION

The teacher will hand out a chart that explains the relationship between a rhombus,
parallelogram, and a polygon. The definition will have blanks so that the students will fill
out the chart as we go through the lecture.

Next, the teacher will announce that we will be finding the area of a parallelogram and
provide them with the formula of A=bh and then give the definition of the words
formula, base, and height.

GUIDED INSTRUCTION

Next, the teacher and the students will begin finding the area of some parallelograms,
students should feel pretty comfortable with this. Teacher will give an example with
misleading information, to make sure that students understand what it means by the
height.

What is the base of the parallelogram?

What is the height of the parallelogram?

What dimension is given that is not needed in finding the area? Explain why the height is
not ___.

How do you find the area of this parallelogram?

Next, we will begin the part of the lesson where students are given the area and one of
the values of the height or base and need to use the formula to replace the variables with
the known measurements then solve the equation for the remaining variable.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

Students will begin working on the guided practice on their own.

CLOSING

Revisit the objectives and will ask for students to say something that they learned in this
lesson that is important. I will pick 3 raffle tickets. After everyone has shared, I will flip
over the tickets and if their name is there, they get a reward.

Homework will be the independent practice for numbers 1-8.
