1. Subgrant Goals and Activities Frostburg State University

2. What We Are Doing Currently

3. Preparation for Completing Assessment V  Candidates use applications in classroom context through technology courses  Candidates see effective integration of technology modeled  Candidates have guidance and practice designing technology infused lessons

4. Preparation for Completing Assessment V in 3rd Technology Course  Review student technology standards  Review technology plans from various school systems  Review lessons with technology appropriately integrated into instruction  Appropriately integrate use of technology in ‘good’ lesson plans that do not contain use of technology  Reflect on and revise a “modeled” technology-rich lesson

5. Preparation for Completing Assessment V in 3rd Technology Course  Candidates design a treasure hunt appropriate for a specific lesson and post to web site  Candidates use an electronic gradebook  Candidates create an electronic portfolio template for their students

6. Process for Assessing Candidate Performance for MTTS V  Performance for MTTS V is completed during Internship I (same semester as 3rd technology course)  Instructors and graduate assistants review lessons and videos from previous semester  Peer coaching groups are formed  Video review and discussion within each peer group is completed

7. Process for Assessing Candidate Performance for MTTS V  Instructors in each peer group complete the assessment for the “teaching” portion of the performance task  Instructors read and assess candidate reflections using the performance rubric  Data analysis of assessment results is completed and submitted along with examples of candidate performances

8. Goals and Strategies

9. Needs Determined from Analyzing Current Process  Increased involvement of K-12 colleagues  Scaffolding of class and field activities leading up to candidates’ completion of assessment V  Models / exemplars for candidates to see and adapt  More detail in rubric  Formative assessment models  Practice in writing reflections  Method for collecting candidate performance task assessment data

10. Goal 1: Developing Processes and Resources for Candidate Completion of MTTS V Strategies  Prepare candidates to complete assessment V (develop scaffolding)  Demonstrate methods for collecting and analyzing student data and applying the results to development of instruction  Develop process for candidate completion of MTTS V  Refine process and rubric for evaluation of candidates’ performance on MTTS V

11. Goal 2: Analyze and Refine the Assessment of Instruction Strand in the Education Program Strategies  Analyze courses to determine how assessment strategies, assessment data collection, and use of data to inform instruction are sequenced throughout the education programs  Based on analysis of syllabi, address strategies that need to be developed

12. Strategies and Activities

13. Educators Involved in Activities  Tech Reps Representatives from PDS sites, designated by school principals, paid through grant funds Facilitate integration of technology for candidates and mentor teachers Conduct end-of-school-year technology survey and identify areas of need related to technology  Intern Supervisors and Interns  Mentor Teachers  Performance Assessment V Coordinator  University Faculty

14. Prepare Candidates to Complete MTTS V The following activities involve the Tech Reps and Assessment V Coordinator  Design lesson plan exemplars including scoring tools to assess student achievement  Videotape lesson exemplars being taught  Identify skills needed to teach these lessons  Design and present course activities using exemplars  Design and present activities to develop candidate skill in writing reflections  Design and present activities to develop candidate skill in designing assessment tools

15. Demonstrate Methods for Collection, Analysis, and Use of Data The following activities involve Tech Reps and faculty  Work with consortium to develop state resources  Provide workshops to Tech Reps and faculty on resources and methods  Align courses to ensure candidates can use methods and resources

16. Develop Process for Completion of MTTS V and Collection of Data The following activities involve faculty and Tech Reps  Arrange for demonstrations of TaskStream, LiveText, Chalk and Wire, etc.  Pilot the selected system with selected group of candidates  Based on results of pilot, revise and/or expand procedure

17. Refine Process and Rubric for Evaluation of Candidate Performance on MTTS V The following activities involve Tech Reps, Assessment V Coordinator, supervisors, and mentor teachers  Refine part A of the assessment rubric  Refine procedure and group membership for peer review of lesson videos  Refine procedure for review of candidate written reflections  Provide training to Tech Reps, supervisors, and mentor teachers to assess candidate performance on MTTS V

18. Analyze Courses for Development of Assessment Strategies and Implement Changes The following activities involve faculty  Develop plan for comprehensive assessment of instruction strand  Conduct analysis of syllabi  Identify assessment strategies that should be incorporated in courses  Come to consensus on incorporating these strategies  Develop and implement evaluation of candidate proficiency on use of assessment strategies
