I have spent the first month of the school year getting to know my student's names, their likes and dislikes, laying the cornerstones of building a relationship with them to facilitate a learning environment. I have collected the beginning of a series of varied assessments to get a 'snapshot' of each student's level.
Diving into the Data
Baseline diagnostic scores, classroom observation, assignments, and quizzes have provided a picture of my students academic strengths and weaknesses. This information combined with Special Education Coding and Attendance records provides a more complete frame of reference for planning lessons that encompass the accommodation of a variety of learning needs aka gaps in student's prior learning through personalization and differentiation of learning.
Wow What a Handful! It really is. Looking at the data how does one meet the needs of all students? This is what I struggle with! I am not a miracle worker and can only do so much. This is a scary picture. With the high number of students below grade level it would be advantageous to have an Educational Assistant in the classroom but unfortunately this is not the case. Designing lessons and activities that will meet the needs of all the students is going to be a challenge and will take a great deal of time.
