Assessment was actually the starting point for me as I made suggestions for the unit outline. When working with students with limited skill sets, the first step is task analysis that can devleop new skills. With the idea of the students creating a powerpoint presentation, there are many basic skills needed that my students may or may not have. The actual teaching of powerpoint skills will be completed by the media specialist which is Theresa. Thus the adaptation of a pre-existing pre-skills assessment was completed. It is easy to take for granted the ability to identify letters on a keyboard or how to use a mouse. Thus when the pre-assessment is given it will look at existing skill or the lack there of and help to measure new skill acquirement that should be present at the end of the unit when the pre-assessment will be given again. Thus opportunities should be given to develop the skills throughout the unit. It is the hope tht the students will have new skills checked off on the regiven skills assessment. This will be evidence of student learning that can be shared with parents, administrators and other teachers. Another rubric will be used to evaulate the finished product. This will address other needed skill development such as following directions, working cooperatively, etc.
The finished product can be shared with the principal and parents of the school during the I. E.P process. This time is a period that looks at needed goals and goals that have been accomplished. The team would have a chance to look at the student's participation to dertermine what goals will be addressed in the next school year.
