Alternative #2: Spelling Based Instruction, on pages 234 and 235, is an approach that focuses on each child individual level of knowledge. It is a good way to figure out where each child is in the process of learning to read, write, and spell; and then build upon in successfully. The text suggests an informal assessment by placing the children in the class into groups and have them write something. This observe what level they are on. Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level.
If you are not part of the planning you can still speak to the teacher about what will be happening and offer ideas and suggestions of your own. 1.1 continued Role of teacher Role of teaching assistant • To be responsible for planning and preparing to the National or Early Years Curriculum • To plan and prepare work alongside the teacher • To teach pupils according to their educational needs • To support learning activities • To access, record and report on the development, progress and attainment of pupils • To assess/evaluate children’s work as directed by the teacher • To take responsibility for all other adults within

Resource 2: SIOP Lesson Plan (Rhyming) Zenetta Bronson Grand Canyon University: ESL 533N Advanced Methodologies of SEI January 29, 2014 Teachers should prepare a lesson that targets a specific learning goal which allows students to make connections with their own knowledge, deliver the lesson so that the students are engaged, and be able to comprehensible talk to the students so they understand. Teachers should organize the instruction to build on the relationship between students learning in their first and second language. The attached lesson was delivered in order for the children to gain some understanding of phonological awareness particularly rhyming words. Phonological awareness (or phonemic
What is happening in the child’s environment. It also includes whether the child has any additional needs or which children/people are around the child as the child may act differently around different groups of friends and different members of staff. To assess young children in a setting you follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) the EYFS give guidelines as to what a child should achieve at what age or stage. To find out what stage a child is achieving members of staff, especially the key person, perform observations and record these. These observations should cover all areas which are Physical development, Communication and language, Literacy, Personal, social and education, Maths, Art and design and Understanding the world.
Discuss Lev Vygotsky’s concept known as scaffolding and how can you or when can you utilize it in a Preschooler classroom? Lev Vygotsky theorized that children learn not just by interacting with objects, but also with adults and more-experienced peers. These adults and peers extend children’s learning through conversations that use what the children already know to introduce new information – a concept know as scaffolding. Scaffolding can be used any time you are observing the children in the classroom and should be individualized based on each child’s skills, abilities, interests, and needs. 2.
It is useful in deciding whether the child is reaching expected milestones of development in different areas. The assessment framework is how children are assessed in school, for example, in my setting when a child reads, we write it in their planners. Standard measurements: School tests or cognitive aptitude tests that demonstrate a snapshot of children's academic ability or skill at retaining taught information and that might then be used to compare outcomes between children of the same age. Health programmes that might measure head circumference, weight, height, visual and auditory functioning. Educational psychologists may use reasoning tests to assess an intellectual age in contrast to a chronological age.
An analysis of the types of evaluation, assessment and records used by the Teaching assistant in their school context given the national context and exemplar practice in this area, supported by relevant academic reading. NOTES: · TA’s use a variety of types of assessment for all different purposes. · Summative assessments – SAT’s, mock papers to determine what level the child is up to and what group to put them in. · Formative assessments – Salford reading test, helps inform for planning in curriculum areas, also to develop reading and interpretation skills. · Informative assessment – providing feedback to children, via homework, test results etc.
I chose to focus on the PK-2nd Grade guidelines developed by NETS for Students. It is important to keep in mind that the profile that is set up for PK-2nd grade is meant as a guide for teachers to use as “indicators of achievements at this certain primary stage (“ISTE/NETS,” 2007) and it is based on the assumption or idea that these children will have regular access to several different types of technological tools. There is a multitude of technology that is widely available for the K-12 classroom. Software as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint and as complex as Auto CAD is available for every type of classroom. Hardware such as scanners, digital cameras, and flash drives are also a tiny handful of hardware that is available.
Children will have a one on one session with their teachers so that the teachers will be able to ask questions and so will the student. There will also be small assignments that will be completed in class as well as homework that is sent home so that the children can continue to practice their skills and continue to increase their learning curve. There will also be short question and answer sessions so that the teacher can make notations of where the children need more assistance. Each method will be used for each child. The teachers will observe the children during free play and during assigned activities so that they can make valid notations and observations about the cognitive development of the child.
