The document discusses strategies to improve math motivation and achievement for students at East Side Elementary School. 60% of students failed the state standardized test and 70% failed the county benchmark test. Students were lacking motivation as demonstrated by not attempting or completing tasks. The Creative Solutions Math program will use Keller's ARCS model of motivation to apply lessons to real life, demonstrate attention during lessons using technology and games, and complete activities to build confidence. It is hoped these strategies will lessen the achievement gap and develop a positive math attitude.

Utilizing Rubrics in Audio/Visual ProductionCorey Anderson
During the 2016-2017 school year, it became apparent to me that my students at Watkins Overton High School in Memphis, TN, might enjoy a greater sense of academic achievement if they had a better understanding of what was required to receive a rating of Proficient or Advanced when their artifacts are assessed. In the Audio/Visual Production field, these artifacts are almost always something the student must create. I am specifically interested in improving their commercials and public service announcements. Although, high school students have a lot of competing interests, providing rubrics for assignments would give them a way to focus their energy when completing projects and provide a way for them to assess the quality of their own work before submitting it for assessment. Their attention to detail and quality has further implications for post-secondary success. Rallying behind the mantra, Destination 2025! In the year, 2025, our school district’s goal is to have 80% of graduates, college and career ready, 90% graduating on time and 100% of college and career ready graduates will enroll in post-secondary opportunities (Shelby County Schools, n.d.). What tools can I actively use to help my students get the advantage in life and become champions at work? The purpose of this paper is to determine can developing and utilizing rubrics with my high school A/V Production students help improve the quality of their films for public service announcements and commercials. These are my Next Steps.

Program Evaluation Plan (Part 3)
Goals of Evaluation
Evaluation refers to the act of checking various things thoroughly in order to characterize their worth or value, with reference to a certain context. In the field of education, the amount of success in a person’s aims can only be determined through evaluation. Therefore, there is a very close relationship between various aims and evaluation. The main goals of evaluation in schools are as discussed below. The first goal of evaluation in the field of education is to create an educational program ("Evaluation in Teaching and Learning Process | Education", 2020). Through evaluation, evaluators and the school management can build a given program of learning among the students. This is after gathering and checking various factors in order to find what program will fit and make a positive impact in the school. This involves consulting all the stakeholders of the program and developing strategies that will ensure the development of a good program.
The second goal of evaluation is assessing the effectiveness of the program. Evaluation ensures that the developed program is up to standards and serves the purpose that it was intended to. It helps the evaluators to check if the teaching strategies and techniques are being applied properly. The third goal of evaluation is to ensure improvement of the program. Through evaluation, evaluators can gauge the impact of the program on the school and learners. They can also identify various things that can make the program more effective. It acts as an in-built monitor in the program in order to review the progress of the program from time to time. It also gives feedback regarding the design and the implementation of a given program. Through such assessments, the school management can know where to work on, and what they need in order to enhance effective programs in teaching and learning.
For instance, in our case, evaluators can comfortably tell whether or not the program is helping girls become more superior in math. If not they can suggest better or other strategies that will make positive impact.
Cultural Issues Affecting the Program
Culture can influence how different people view things. An individual’s culture and upbringing can affect their way of processing information. Among the cultural issues that might be faced in the evaluation plan include cultural stereotypes. Some students believe that they cannot perform as expected in school or in a particular subject due to lack of preparation from their home environment. This makes them believe they do not have enough potential to do well in a given subject when they get to school. For instance, some students may not have calculators ...

Discussion Question 1: Explore the National Center on Universal Design for Learning website, particularly noting the principles of UDL. How would employing these principles in lesson planning increase academic achievement of ELLs?
Response: Magaly wrote –
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) main goal is to make learning more accessible to students, especially those in inclusionary programs (Hallahan, Kauffman, & Pullen, 2019). UDL is a structure that gives flexible and responsive curriculum that will decrease learning barriers. The concept is that with modifications of representation (materials), expression (methods of communication) and engagement (how students respond to curriculum) teachers will be able to include a more diverse range of students in a general education classroom of instructions (Hallahan, Kauffman, & Pullen, 2019). When using UDL, educators and speech-language pathologist (SPLs) can provide curriculum options such as using varies ways to present a lesson. This is important because students can express themselves and their knowledge as well as being able to engage in learning. ELL students need to have variation and choices in their everyday class experience, as educators we should be able to provide different learning styles. Providing different learning styles ensures that ELL students are given the opportunity to have their needs educational goals both daily and by semester. The UDL guidelines can be mixed and matched according to specific learning goals and can be applied to particular content areas and contexts (CAST, 2018). They can be seen as a tool to support the development of a shared language in the design of goals, assessments, methods, and materials that lead to accessible, meaningful, and challenging learning experiences for all (CAST, 2018).
Response: Stefanie wrote –
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for teachers to build lesson plans that enables all students the opportunity to participate in, and progress in the general-education curriculum by decreasing their specific obstacles to education (Ralabate, 2017). Each student we will encounter within our classroom has their own needs, preferences for learning, and abilities. UDL takes the burden off of the students and teachers to adapt material and puts it on the curriculum and offers options for the ways that information is taught, how students demonstrate their skills and knowledge, and how students are able to engage in learning within their classroom (Ralabate, 2017)
The UDL Guidelines offer a framework to optimize learning and teaching for all people based on how humans learn (The UDL Guidelines, 2021). This framework can then be used to look at the why of learning to provide eng ...
