Attendance & Housekeeping

 * Roll Call

Work with Metcalf Student individually

For our next class session

 * FYI: You'll know your book by Wed/Thursday. As soon as you know, you need to find a copy to borrow, or purchase one! Then read it over spring break!
 * Analyze the data you found. Complete any number calculations (rhody) or rubric assessment (reading & writing rubric).
 * Consider starting to fill out the worksheet below to help you get started on Part 1 paper. That way I can help answer any questions you have on Thurs.
 * Here is a worksheet that you can print off and bring to class. It may help you organize your student's assessment data, and help you compare your student with others in the group. (One is a pdf file, and the other a doc, but they're both of the SAME thing! You only need one.)

Interpreting Assessment of the Learner

 * Metcalf Teaching Groups: by role not decade. Move seats to be with new groups.
 * Decide on psuedonyms for your student, share that with the group...write those down.
 * General Background
 * Reading Interest Survey
 * Will need to make a narrative about how they feel about reading & what their interests are
 * Rhody:
 * Scoring it: pair up with a neighbor..double check each others math!
 * Comparing class as a whole
 * Reading Assessment
 * Fluency Rubric
 * Use rubric to discuss what what you heard as the student read, and what that may mean
 * Use a number score & narrative
 * [[file:rubric_R1.pdf]]
 * How may this information affect how you plan lessons for this student?
 * Writing Assessment
 * Use this rubric to dicuss what you notice about the student's writing, and infer what it may mean.
 * Use a number score & narrative
 * [[file:BWC-writing rubric .pdf]]
 * How may this information affect how you plan lessons for this student?

Looking Ahead

 * March 24 Parts 1 & 2 Paper Due. Best to get Part 1 done, while its fresh in your head (before spring break?)
 * Additional Hours Paper Due: March 31 (Best to get it done as soon as your clinical hours are completed!)
 * Reading your Metcalf book...thinking about pre-reading activities to do with your group!
