How could you incorporate literacy activities in the content areas that would encourage students’ success?

/in /by

How could you incorporate literacy activities in the content areas that would encourage students’ success? Think about ways you could help a student practice reading skills while also teaching the content area curriculum.

Even though we do not participate in these content areas, it is important for all educators to think outside the box and connect with their colleagues’ subject areas. This helps create a cohesive environment where everyone works together and everyone is responsible for supporting students’ success.

Complete the chart for each subject area. Bullets are okay to use.

What problem does the policy attempt to address? Discuss the prevalence of the problem.

/in /by

Students will write a 4-page paper:
Students will conduct a policy analysis and identify one policy that directly impacts K-12 students and/or the district’s ability to respond to their students.
Students should:
Introduce the policy you are analyzing. Clearly explain how this policy is relevant to your student population and/or the school district.
1. Define the problem. What problem does the policy attempt to address? Discuss the prevalence of the problem. Consider different potential explanations in terms of causes of the problem.
2. Define the policy and alternatives. Summarize the basic tenets of the policy. How is the policy expected to help address the problem (i.e., what cause does it seek to address)? What alternative policies were considered, or could have been considered?
3. Describe the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that inform this policy [Competency Vc]
4. Describe policy implementation. How was the policy formulated? [Competency Vb] Who is in charge of implementation? How is the process working? Have there been problems in implementation? Is a monitoring and evaluation system in place for the implementation? Describe it.
5. Evaluate the policy. Has the policy achieved what it intended? What were the costs and consequences of the policy? Overall, was the policy a “success” or a “failure”? [Competency Vb]
6. Make a recommendation. Recommend a policy action, based on your analysis of the set of alternatives and your evaluation of the current policy. Articulate reasons, supported by facts and evidence, why the policy proposal you have chosen would be the best avenue for addressing the issue in question.

Develop your pedagogical knowledge and discuss how you would apply this to your teaching and vision. Critically evaluate your own learning from this collaborative activity.

/in /by

In this assignment, you will focus on the development of phase and subject specific pedagogy through individual and collaborative reflection, evaluation and critique.
Through the Teach First delivered content, you will gain a critical insight into working collaboratively as a means of developing your subject and phase specific pedagogy and use this knowledge to refine and develop your teaching further.
You will reflect on how you can develop your own powers of collaboration and use these to strengthen your pedagogical practice, whilst also developing others in your group.
You will consider the meaning of vision and high expectations and how to use these to guide your work.

Chosen Area:
Language and Literacy
• well-researched links between reading and literacy in English
• reading in MFL : neglected skill
• reading of varied texts (poetry, literature, song etc) now important in NC, still overlooked
• literacy across the curriculum is important (also for learners with EAL)
• this also impacts on written literacy (and oracy)
• creating independent writers of MFL; criticality in developing effective use of strategies (scaffolding, writing frames etc)
• writing varied texts (not just ‘now go home and write a paragraph’)
• group writing and reading

Please refer to CLD- Call 1 Minutes 17/10/20 for action plan. Please use and follow the Assignment guidance attached as well as the other documents.

Engage with others to identify a concept or area of learning. With reference to literature and subject specific research, develop your pedagogical knowledge and discuss how you would apply this to your teaching and vision. Critically evaluate your own learning from this collaborative activity.
