Example 1

(REQUIRED) 6.
Explain how the collection of assessments from your plan allows you to evaluate your
students learning of specific student standards/objectives and provide feedback to students
on their learning. (TPEs 2, 3)
The goal of this learning segment is to have the students take a stand by writing a
persuasive letter, so the students will be assessed in accordance with the California English
Language Arts Content Standards. The content standard for this learning segment is: 2.5
Write persuasive compositions. A) State a clear position on a proposition or proposal B)
Support the position with organized and relevant evidence C) Anticipate and address reader
concerns and counterarguments. With the content standard in mind, I will create a rubric
that assesses them on stating a clear position, their arguments and also counterargument.
In addition, I will also assess the students’ spelling/grammar and overall organization of the
letter. By creating a rubric, I will be able to systematically grade their letters and provide
feedback on their writing of a persuasive letter.
(REQUIRED) 7.
Describe any teaching strategies you have planned for your students who have identified
educational needs (e.g., English learners, GATE students, students with IEPs). Explain how
these features of your learning and assessment tasks will provide students access to the
curriculum and allow them to demonstrate their learning. (TPEs 9. 12)
This learning segment is designed specifically to engage my English learners because they
are bilingual and will be able to relate to the discrimination faced by the students in the
Language Discrimination Scenarios. By being able to speak from personal experiences, my
English learners will feel empowered as they share their experiences with their peers using
the English language. To ensure that all students are given the opportunity to share their
thoughts, I will have them talk in their groups first, then as a class, we will continue the
discussion. These strategies will help engage the English learners because it is a topic that
they are all familiar with and have to deal with daily. In regards to the assessment, by
reviewing the prompt, sample letter, and rubric as a class will not only support the English
learners, but the class as a whole. In order for students to fully understand their
assignments, they must know what are the expectations and how they will be assessed.
The sample letter will provide all students with a clear model of what they are expected to
produce.
