Example Slide 1
Yeung Yi: Yeung Yi is a Gifted and Talented student from an
educated and
economically well-off family. Both of his parents are doctors,
and they hold high
expectations for Yeung Yi. The family has toured Harvard
while on vacation and
discusses college regularly. Yeung Yi’s grades are
outstanding, and he stays busy
participating in art club, orchestra, National Geography Bee,
baseball, and UIL
academic competitions. He puts a lot of pressure on himself
because he wants to
get into a highly selective college after high school. Though he
loves playing his
cello, he has had a few panic attacks while practicing his solo.
He has told his
mother that he isn’t good enough to have a solo, though his
teacher believes
differently. When he makes a grade he feels is unacceptable, he
gets very upset
and may hit the wall with his hand.

700.2PBP The Learner: Performance-Based Assessment
TNT 700.2P KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS AND STUDENT
NEEDS Effective teaching begins with understanding your
students: how they learn, their background and issues that they
might face. In the course, TCR 300 Meet Your Students, you
were introduced to twenty-four students who are representative
of the students in Texas. Several of these students have
significant academic issues and/or emotional issues that may
impact their performance. This performance-based assessment
requires you to identify and research the societal or cultural
issues that are faced by four of these students and how they
impact their achievement.
Using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you are to create a
presentation appropriate for use with other educators or parents.
In this presentation you are to do the following:
• Identify each student and the issue he or she is facing.
• Identify the developmental impact of each issue. You will
need to include the research that is directly related to the issues
and aligned to the developmental goals for the students. For
example, you might include a statement such as “According to
Dr. I. M. Expert, cyber-bullying is detrimental to a student’s
development because it makes students feel unsafe.”

3. • Research and provide resources that are directly related to the
issue and are aligned to the developmental goals for students.
These are resources a parent or teacher could use to learn more
about the issue and how to address the impact of the issue.
These are resources that may be available in your community,
such as food banks, language lessons for parents, etc. You may
also choose to include resources that are available from federal,
state, and local governments. These are NOT the resources used
in your research.
• You will suggest supports teachers can use in the classroom to
mitigate the impacts of the issue. • Your presentation should be
at least 11 slides long. You are expected to have an introductory
slide, two slides per student, and a closing slide.
• The presentation must be your original work, and professional
in its use of images, language, and formatting. Use of another’s
work will earn an automatic zero and may be grounds for
dismissal from the program.
For this performance-based assessment, you will be scored
according to the 700.2P Rubric.
Please review this rubric carefully before beginning and
submitting the project.
Students’ Scenarios
1. Nelly: Nelly is economically disadvantaged and at risk
because she did not pass the standardized state math test. She
lives with her grandparents since her mother is in jail.
Unfortunately, the apartment complex where she lives is riddled
with drugs and crime. It is common to hear gunfire and police
sirens at night. It is also located in a food desert,

4. with no direct route to a full grocery store. School is her safe
place; she is terrified when she is not in school but tries to act
tough so that she won’t be picked on. Her grandparents are
well-meaning, but unsure of how to best help her.
2. Brandon: When Brandon was nine years old, his mother was
killed in an automobile
accident. His father recognized that he would not be able to care
for Brandon or his
three younger siblings and reluctantly put them under the care
of the Department of
Family and Protective Services. There were no foster homes
available to take all four
children, and they were split up between families. Brandon’s
emotional state became
quite fragile following the separations from his family. He was
angry, depressed and
began acting out both at school and in the foster home, at which
time he was placed in
a group home. During this time, Brandon was bullied and beaten
by older boys in the
home. Two months ago, Brandon was moved to the home where
he now resides. His
foster family reports he is quiet at home, compliant with their
requests, but generally
exhibits little interest in family activities or school, though he
seems to be slowly
warming up to the family. He doesn’t talk about his past three
years or his siblings or
parents. The family has not seen evidence of anger but do
believe he is depressed.
3. Ellie: Ellie is a sweet girl but very anxious. Her parents
divorced because of her
mother’s alcoholism. Her father is a long-haul trucker who is
not around very much. As a result, Ellie often has to be the
adult at home - shopping, cooking, and cleaning. She

5. worries about her mother being alone and having an accident.
Though her father sends
money regularly, she worries about paying the bills. She cries
often and does not have
the space to be a kid. In addition, there was an incident last year
when her mom came
to school after drinking and yelled obscenities at the principal
and teacher. Some of her
classmates noticed, and it embarrassed Ellie terribly. She is
constantly worried this will
happen again. Though not diagnosed, she appears to be
suffering from anxiety.
4. Ian: Ian’s mother left the family when he was five. Ian lives
with his dad and does not
know where his mother is. Ian’s father works long hours and
attempts to compensate
for the time away by buying Ian the latest technology. Once,
when he was angry, Ian’s
father blamed him for his mother leaving. Ian is an avid gamer
but is usually angry and is known around school as a bully. He
has few friends. Ian does just enough work to get
passing grades. In class, he just wants to be left alone.
