The graduate collaborates with team members to address common instructional goals and improve teaching and learning.
In this task, you will identify an instructional goal and then develop a plan for collaborating with your colleagues to achieve that goal. You will then reflect on the success of
your collaboration plan by addressing feedback from your peers and determining what you would do differently in the future.
A. Identify an instructional goal, and explain how the goal will support student learning
, thinking, and engagement. Include the grade level and content material for your goal.
1. Describe two instructional strategies you will implement to help students achieve
the instructional goal.
2. Describe your vision of how students will interpret, interact with, and respond
to the instructional strategies, including the following components:
• where you
think students might get stuck
• what questions students might ask
• what you anticipate will go well for students
3. Describe how you will measure that students have achieved the instructional goal.
B. Develop and implement a collaboration plan for how you could work with your colleagues to achieve the instructional goal from part A by doing the following:
1. Identify the roles of those with whom you will collaborate, and explain what each collaborator will contribute to the project.
Note: Do not report teacher names or any information
that could specifically identify an individual.
2. Identify which collaboration model will help you achieve your instructional goal from part A.
a. Justify how the collaboration model identified in part B2 will be effective in helping
you achieve your instructional goal.
3. Discuss how you will implement your collaboration plan from parts B1 and B2.
4. Describe how you will assess whether the collaboration helped you achieve your goal.
C. Reflect on your collaboration plan and whether you were able to achieve your instructional goal from part A.
1. Gather and summarize feedback from each of your fellow collaborators on what went well and what did not go well.
2. Identify one factor that you felt contributed to the success of your collaboration, and
justify how you think this factor contributed to your success. Include personal observations as well as specific feedback from part C1 to support your justification.
3. Identify one factor that you would do differently if you were to collaborate again in the
future for a different goal, and justify why you would do it differently. Include personal
observations as well as specific feedback from part C1 to support your justification.
Revision instructions!!!!
A instructional goal
The submission keenly references the instructional goal of students understanding the effect of global warming. A grade level is not provided
A2 vision
The response clearly states that rubrics will be used to assess student achievement.
The response does not describe a vision.
A3 goal achievement
The composition creatively explains how the rubric measures student achievement using a set of criteria that are usually numbered from 1-10 or 0 – 100. The description of specific measurable examples of how the candidate will know that the goal is met is unclear.
B1 collaborator
A fitting definition of collaboration is proprely cited. The response does not identify the roles of the collaborators.
B2 collaboration model
The composition interestingly identifies team collaboration as the model aligned with the instructional goal. It is not clear how this model will accomplish the goal.
B2a justification
The essay succinctly states that the model will allow the team to maximize their skills and experiences while allowing students to learn from each other. The essay is insufficient because it lacks specific, relevant support for this justification.
B3 implementation
It is noted that collaboration provides a conducive environment for sharing ideas. A discussion that addresses how the collaboration plan will plausibly be implemented is underdeveloped.
B4 collaboration assesement
The work tersely states that the participants indicated the sessions were successful and enjoyed working together. The work is insufficient because it does not describe how the candidate will plausibly assess whether the collaboration helped to achieve the instructional goal.
C reflection on success
It is noted that the collaboration team was made up of six members. the success of the colaboration plan regarding the instructional goal is not included.
C1 collaborator feedback
The submission thoughtfully states that everyone on the team had their strengths and weaknesses byt the strengths were highlighted through the collaboration. The submission does not provide individual feedback from each participant.
C2 success factor
The work soundly states that the team was able to move on from mistakes and always continue working hard on the project. The work does not identify one relevant factor that contributied to the success of the collaboration
