  1. Tips for Success with yourGate III Portfolio Gate III EAA/ECA McIntyre, Fall 2011

  2. The focus of Gate 3 is about student learning! • Move from “application” to “management” by using words like “My students…” instead of “I” • Remember: The key point is: WHAT HAVE YOUR STUDENTS LEARNED??!! • Use student learning data(remove student names and/or create SUMMARIES of student learning) • PROVE that students are learning from you, for example….

  3. Some GREAT artifacts: • Student Learning Profile: Student interests / learning styles / MI / reading level chart/hobbies/involvements at school or community… • Show you know your students by making a connection between what you know about your students and the lessons and units you have designed and implemented

  4. GREAT artifacts: Lesson plans • At least ONE including a Compelling Why • At least ONE demonstrating a “Culturally Responsive Lesson” • The inclusion of reading strategies work well for WTS 2 and 3 • 5 E’s model • Use a highlighter to point out these parts of a lesson plan that are compelling to show you are a teacher apprentice

  5. GREAT artifacts: Unit plans • With “central concept” and/or “essential question” clearly identified • Sections labeled by MI are useful • Assessments are within and at the end of the unit (rubrics are best) • The unit should be “developmentally appropriate” (you picked the central concept because it matched student learning needs) • In WTS 3 – remember it is MI AND race / class / gender/EL • The final task or showcase event you ask students to do is a performance task – preferably with student choice

  6. GREAT artifacts: Assessments • Linked to EQ (comparison of student answers to your answers) • Formal / informal/formative / summative • A variety is best • Checkpoints • Quizzes • Tests • Rubrics

  7. GREAT artifacts: Evaluations • University Supervisor observation/ evaluations • Cooperating Teacher observation/evaluations You may use each criteria as an artifact!

  8. GREAT artifacts: Reflections • Narratives or reflections you write • Some on lesson plans themselves to show you know how to modify them (WTS 9) • Some in other forms which show deeper thoughts about self (WTS 9)

  9. Get it done… • Run a draft of Standard 1 by your University Supervisor early in Q1 (or Q3) • Different readers have different expectations • Work on Standards 1-5 first, then 6-10, perhaps in your Q2 (Q4) placement • DO NOT TRY TO DO ALL OF THE STANDARDS AT THE END OF YOUR PLACEMENT…unless, of course, you enjoy stress… Q1 Switch Q2 Standards 1-5 Standards 6-10

  10. Be a collaborative leader • Help your Supervisor and CT with the forms…

  11. Observation Form (great ARTIFACT) • White copy (to student teacher – put in portfolio) • Yellow copy (goes to CT) • Pink copy (goes to supervisor to be turned in to be filed in ES at end of the quarter (or semester)

  12. Other Stuff: Gate 3 Scoring Sheet • Original kept in portfolio • Copy to be returned to ES • Supervisors return the following to ES for filing/audit at end of semester: • Gate 3 Scoring Sheet • At least two pink observation forms • Blue copies of summative evaluation • Goldenrod form indicating dates of observations

  13. Other Stuff: Formative Assessment (green) • Filled out at end of Q1(or Q3) • Goes in Portfolio • Show to next placement CT

  14. Other Stuff: Summative Assessment(blue) • Filled out at end of Q2 (or Q4) • Goes in portfolio • Page 5 (copy of page 1)torn off and returned to ES by University Supervisor

  15. Finally • Be professional (remember that you are probably going to be asking folks in your host school to provide a positive recommendation, if only by word of mouth) • Arrive at school BEFORE your CT and try to leave AFTER your CT, and dress better than s/he too! • Have a positive attitude EVERY day • Have fun!
