1st Grade Work Sample Assessment and Student Progress

My Work Sample for my major student teaching focuses on introducing First Grade students to the characteristics of their home, community, and city as well as what types of community helpers there are and how they contribute to society. The unit is centered on First Grade Social Science standards and also incorporates English Language Arts reading, writing, and speaking standards. I will present how I assessed and charted student progress throughout the unit, as well as specific pieces of growth as a result of this unit observed in my students.

Room organization, structure & layout, & teacher preparedness in lessons & management are keys to success for a teacher running an efficient learning environment. These aspects of classroom management can make a teacher’s daily routine easier, more effective, & create more time for learning. Based upon research, potential management strategies will be shared, with organization in consideration.

Child Development Case Study

The reason for this research-based project is to evaluate a child developmentally in comparison to other children their age. The student will be evaluated to see if they are progressing normally according to the educational research of psychologists like Piaget, Marcia, Bandura, and others. Over a month, data was gathered from the subjects of this research project, third-grade boy and girl twins who are referred to as James and Rosie. Data was collected in cognitive, physical, personal, identity, and moral categories and will be compared to data collected by education researchers. Evaluations and recommendations will be made based upon the twins’ progress. It appears that James and Rosie are developing normally.
