The new national curriculum has higher expectations than the previous one. Children in Year 4 are now expected to meet standards previously expected in Year 5. Teacher assessment is used continuously to inform learning. New SATs tests for Years 2 and 6 will be more difficult. Children's attainment will be reported as working towards, beginning, developing, secure, or exceeding expectations for their year group rather than by levels. Parents were informed about specific expectations for maths, English, and writing for Year 1.

Kayla Harris chose to teach 1st grade students the months of the year. She will use the ASSURE method. The students will be actively engaged by associating each month with an animal, learning the months associated with each season, and creating a song about the months. Students will choose animals that start with the first letter of each month, draw pictures of the seasons and months, and help create a memorable song. They will work in groups to learn from each other. If this method is not successful, Kayla will revise to include more active lessons.

Limited response tests are appropriate for pre-literate students and involve physically pointing to pictures or letters in response to questions. Sentence comprehension tests involve true/false questions about short sentences to test basic skills of beginners. Passage comprehension tests are the most integrative as they involve reading longer passages and answering questions, allowing evaluation of students at all reading levels, but take more time to administer than other tests.
Crissy Turner - Information Literacy Lesson Plancjturner011075
Students have difficulty writing persuasive papers using the writing process. The goal of the instruction is for students to be able to use the writing process to develop a persuasive writing that meets writing standards. A learner analysis found that most students struggle with writing and lack motivation. A task analysis outlines the steps students will take to define persuasion, brainstorm ideas, write drafts, provide peer feedback, and publish a final draft. Assessments include discussion boards, rubrics, worksheets, and evaluating student drafts to check for understanding of the writing process.
Caitlin Smith teaches 3rd grade at Greenville Elementary School. She uses research-based teaching models and creates engaging lessons that incorporate hands-on activities, technology, and project-based learning. Smith tracks student data closely and sets goals to help all students achieve. She communicates well with students, parents, and other teachers to build a supportive learning community.
This document summarizes a kindergarten student's writing development based on two writing samples and an assessment. The student is described as highly engaged in learning and detail-oriented. Analysis of the samples shows progression from relying mainly on pictures to using letters, though spelling remains at an early "semiphonetic" stage. Scoring in the 90th percentile on the TROLL assessment indicates potential for advanced progress with support. Tools were useful for analyzing development stages and noticing improvements over time, such as moving from right to left writing. Overall the student shows promising writing skills and enjoyment in learning.
This document provides information about an English language teaching knowledge test (TKT) that took place in 2007. It includes the instructions for candidates taking the test, informing them that it will consist of 80 multiple choice questions to be completed in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Candidates are told to write their identifying information on the answer sheet and question paper and to hand both in at the end of the test. The test assesses areas such as matching aims of lessons to textbook rubrics, matching information from lesson plans to headings, and identifying appropriate assessment methods and ways to adapt texts for different teaching purposes.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. Student A’s
Fall Writing
Sample
At the beginning of the
school year student
participated in shared
writing in which students
were asked to write words
that begin with the letter O.
The student was able to
write the letter O. I scored
the student’s writing sample
with a level five because the
child is approaching level six
which requires students to
use mock-letters, pictures
and dictations. Please see
the next slide to view the
rubric used to score this
child’s work.
3. According to the rubric Student A’s Fall writing sample
received a score of a five because the child is approaching
level six which requires students to use mock-letters, dictation
and/ or letter forms to convey their message.

6. Reflection
and Analysis
of Student
B’s Growth
Student A began the school year at a level five and has
moved to a level eight. I project Student A will end the
academic year at a level 10 which is when a student is able
to use early invented spelling, drawings and dictations to
convey a message. Student A can identify letter sounds
therefore I predict by the end of the school year this
child will be able to use early invented spelling by using
letter sounds. Level 10 is on the blue and purple color
bands which represents the ages five and six years-old.
Student A is currently four years-old and will be entering
Kindergarten on grade level.

16. Reflection
and Analysis
of Student
B’s Growth
Student C began the school year at a level three and has
moved to a level four. I project Student C will end the
academic year at a level six which is when a student uses
mock letters, drawings and dictations to convey a
message. Student C has been working on letter formation
during small group therefore I believe the student will be
able to reach level six by the end of the school year.
According to the rubric level six is on the green and blue
color band which represents the ages three and four
years-old. Student C is currently three years-old
therefore will be entering Pre-Kindergarten four on grade
level.
