9Final Reflections Putting it All Together
10Data Driven Decision Making fill out this form
turn in with your work sample
- Student Learning Gains ReportSPED
- F / W, 20__
- Explanation
- One of the purposes of the work sample is to
show that teaching can make an impact on student
learning. Our state and national accreditors ask
us for evidence of the positive impact you have
on the students you teach. We are asking your
cooperation in gathering this evidence. The
information you share will in no way affect your
grade or field experience evaluation. Nor will it
affect the evaluation of your supervisor or
cohort leader. Similarly, it is not necessary to
identify yourself or the students you taught. We
will report the overall effect of work sample
instruction on preK-12 students as group data.
Please fill in all information as accurately as
you can. - Thank you. We will not only look at pre and
post-assessment scores to assess the impact of
instruction on student learning, but also on
supervisor evaluations of work samples.
11Uses of Data
- Your final reflection will go in the Uses of
Data section of your work sample - Prepare to do a quick-write
- Get out
- Your laptop or a sheet of paper
- Work Sample Rubric
- Open a word document, title it Uses of Data
Final Work Sample Reflection - Prepare to write and share out for each of the
sections
12To meet criteria, the final reflection must
- discuss unexpected events and outcomes,
- use analysis of the instructional data to
thoughtfully discuss successes and challenges
over course of work sample teaching, - include recommendations for future generalization
when simple acquisition has been attained, - identify additional environments (e.g., other
classes, home, community, etc.) and new
applications for using newly acquired
skills/knowledge, - identify implications and recommendations for
instruction after the work sample, - include reflection of self as an educator, and
- describe professional growth and key learning
during the overall experience.
13Presentation of work sample binder
- To meet criteria, the work sample binder must
- be organized with title page and dividers for
each of the specified sections, - include a table of contents,
- have correct spelling, punctuation and grammar
throughout, - be typed or written neatly,
- be legible when handwritten notes/charts are
included, - have adequate margins on all four sides of page.

(info on next slide) - Step 3 Make visuals accessible to all (large
font) - Step 4 Prepare video clip for easy access during
presentation (DVDs
work best in hi tech room - computers)
- Step 4 Practice and time yourself (10 minute
presentations followed by 3 5 minutes of Q A
while the next presenter sets up) - Presentations will occur simultaneously in three
different classrooms.
