Educator Accomplished Practices Self-Assessment Instructions: Beside each critical skill listed below, supply the score that best describes your level of competency in that Educator Accomplished Practice (EAP) at the present time. The results of this self-assessment, combined with a personal interview, classroom observations, and any other assessments that your district chooses to use, will determine the path that you will take through Florida's Alternative Certification Program Ed-venture learning activities and competency demonstration projects. If you rate yourself as highly competent in an area and that judgment is supported by your classroom performance, your support team may advise you to take a "short cut" and by-pass one or more learning activities. If an area of weakness is identified at any time during your participation in the Alternative Certification Program, your support team may identify alternative or additional learning activities for you to complete.
SCORING: 1 - I consider myself a beginner at this skill. 2 - I am familiar with this skill but need increased knowledge/practice. 3 - I believe that I am very competent in this area.
Competency Target and Critical Skills EAP 1: Assessment: I use data from a variety of sources to evaluate and ensure student learning at higher and lower levels. These sources include formal and informal, traditional and alternative, observational and anecdotal records, and teacher and student self assessments. Based on assessment data, I align instruction with individual and group needs (cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, emotional, and physical); determine individual and group strengths, weaknesses, and mastery; modify instruction and assessment strategies to improve student learning; interpret student progress knowledgeably; and communicate progress responsibly to students, parents, and colleagues. I prepare all students for the assessment process and am committed to using ongoing assessment to check progress and to monitor and promote learning for all students. Score Critical Skills:
__1.1: I use a variety of data sources. __1.2: I accurately identify individual and group strengths, weaknesses, and mastery __1.3: I modify instruction to Improve student learning. __1.4: I communicate student progress, accurately, responsibly, and without omissions. __1.5: I am committed to assessment, assessing consistently, adequately, and systematically EAP 2: Communication I model reflective communication strategies in conveying ideas and information and in asking questions to stimulate discussion. I establish high expectations for students and provide feedback to help students improve performance and behavior. My interactions with students are positive, supportive, and constructive, and create a positive learning environment with incentives and consequences. I listen to, and communicate effectively verbally, non-verbally, and in writing with students, parents, colleagues, and administrators, including families whose home language is not English, exhibiting sensitivity to cultural and gender differences. I send and receive communication in ways that invite and enable parties to understand each other and work well together to promote student achievement.
