Implementing an instructional unit requires analysis of student   learning and reflection of teacher practices. To this point,   pre-assessment data has been analyzed and a unit designed to address   learning needs. The next step is to implement a unit and analyze data   to determine learning outcomes.

Implement the unit you have designed. You have already implemented   and analyzed the pre-assessment. In this topic, you will implement all   lesson activities, correlating formative assessments, and the   summative post-assessment. Choose one of the lesson activities to   video record a 5-10 minute segment to review and reflect on your   teaching. Have your cooperating teacher/mentor review the recording   and provide feedback, if possible.

Complete STEP Standard 5 by summarizing, in 500-750 words, your   experience teaching your unit. Include the following:

Summary of Unit Implementation

• Discuss each lesson activity and whether the execution of each     lesson went exactly as planned.
• Describe the engagement     strategies used and if they helped foster the learning goals.

Summary of Student Learning 

• Describe your initial perception of the overall student   learning.
• Describe the results from your observations and     each measurement of learning that supports your initial perception     of student learning. (Note: This summary is intended to be brief. It     does not need to include detailed data results on formal     assessments, as you will be analyzing these more closely in the next   topic.)
• Describe one student’s learning or response     that caused you to rethink your plans.
• Describe how you     responded to that student including why you thought this would     improve student progress, and what effect, if any, it had on the   student.

Reflection of Video Recording 

• Describe your perceptions of your teaching performance.
• Identify one thing

  STEP Standard 3 – Assessment and Data Literacy

  Pre-Assessment – Copy and paste the pre-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’ knowledge of the topic prior to implementing the unit lessons. Include the scoring criteria used to determine whether the student Exceeds, Meets, Approaches, or Falls Far Below the learning goal and measurable objectives.

  Copy and paste, or insert a picture of the pre-assessment.

   

  Pre-Assessment Data: Whole Class – Once you have assessed your students’ knowledge on the topic, collect and analyze the pre-assessment data to determine if you will need to modify the standards, learning goal, or measurable objectives that will be addressed during instruction. Pre-Test: Administer, collect, and score the pre-test. Enter data in the Table for Whole Class Pre-Test Results by LG.Complete. Replace information with your information. Delete or add columns as needed by highlighting the area, right click, enter “De Delete” or Insert.”” “
  	Number of Students
  Highly Proficient (90%-100%)	#
  Proficient (80%-89%)	#
  Partially Proficient (70%-79%)	#
  Minimally Proficient (69% and below)	#
  Pre-Assessment Analysis: Whole Class
  Based on the data above, what changes, if any, will you make to your selection of national or state academic content standards, the learning goal, or measurable objectives?
  Based on the data above, describe in 1-3 paragraphs the effect this data could have on the planning, delivery, and assessment of your unit.

   

   

   

  Post-Assessment – Copy and paste the post-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’ knowledge of the topic after implementing the unit lessons. The post-assessment can be the same as the pre-assessment, a modified version, or something comparable that measures the same concepts. Include the scoring criteria used to determine whether the student Exceeds, Meets, Approaches, or Falls Far Below the learning goal and measurable objectives.

  Copy and paste, or insert a picture of the post-assessment.

  STEP Standard 6 – Analysis of Student Learning

   

  Post-Test Data: Whole Class – Once you have assessed your students’ learning on the topic, collect and analyze the post-test data to determine the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment.

  	Number of Students Pre-Test	Number of Students Post-Test
  Highly Proficient (90%-100%)	#	#
  Proficient (80%-89%)	#	#
  Partially Proficient (70%-79%)	#	#
  Minimally Proficient (69% and below)	#	#

  Post-Test Analysis: Whole Class

  Based on your analysis of the whole class post-test data, what is your interpretation of the student learning? Cite examples and provide evidence of student learning that helped you come to this conclusion.

  Based on the whole class post-test data, write one paragraph analyzing the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment and effect on student learning. Cite examples and provide evidence of student learning to support this analysis.

  Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup Selection Pre-Test – Administer, collect, and score the pre-test. Enter data in the Table for Whole Class Pre-Test Results by LGComplete. Replace information with your information. Delete or add columns as needed by highlighting area, right click, “Delete ” or “Insert.”

  Using the information obtained in Standard 1, select one subgroup population to focus on for this analysis. Provide a brief rationale for your selection (1-3 sentences).

  Post-Assessment Data: Subgroup (Gender, ELL population, Gifted, students on IEPs or 504s, etc.)

  	Number of Students Pre-Test	Number of Students Post-Test
  Highly Proficient (90%-100%)	#	#
  Proficient (80%-89%)	#	#
  Partially Proficient (70%-79%)	#	#
  Minimally Proficient (69% and below)	#	#
  Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup
  Based on your analysis of the subgroup post-test data, what is your interpretation of the student learning? Cite examples and provide evidence of student learning that helped you come to this conclusion.
  Based on the subgroup class post-test data, write one paragraph analyzing the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment and effect on student learning. If there is a student or group of students who have not mastered the objectives, discuss what you will do in future days to aid students’ understanding with respect to the unit’s objectives. Cite examples and provide evidence of student misconceptions to support this analysis.

  Post-Assessment Data: Remainder of Class

  	Number of Students Pre-Test	Number of Students Post-Test
  Highly Proficient (90%-100%)	#	#
  Proficient (80%-89%)	#	#
  Partially Proficient (70%-79%)	#	#
  Minimally Proficient (69% and below)	#	#

  Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup and Remainder of Class

  Analyze the data of the subgroup as compared to the remainder of the class. In one paragraph, describe the effectiveness of your instruction for this unit using the findings from your analysis.

  Based on your analysis of student learning, discuss the next steps for instruction, including an objective that would build upon the content taught in this unit of instruction.

   

  STEP Standard 7 – Reflecting on Instruction to Improve Student Progress

  Improved Practice Based on the Unit of Study

  Based on the experience of developing and delivering your instructional unit, list three short-term goals to improve specific areas of your teaching practice based on the unit of instruction and describe your plan to reach each short-term goal.
