3. Part 1: Observation and Collaboration
Observe a grade K-3 certified general education classroom during English Language Arts instruction and then interview and collaborate with your mentor teacher about literacy assessment and developing a successful literacy framework.
Take notes during your interview and with your mentor teacher discuss the following:
Which literacy assessments have proved to be successful in identifying student needs? How were these assessments chosen?
What data collection methods are used to track and monitor student progress?
How does assessment data drive curriculum and the literacy framework?
What steps are taken to develop a literacy framework that meets the needs of all students?
What does a comprehensive literacy framework include?
What technology tools are used to focus on continuous and effective data?
How is data information shared with students and students’ families?

How are the cognitive, emotional, social, and developmental needs of students factored into instruction choices?
What steps are taken to monitor and adjust curriculum based on student needs
What technology tools are utilized in the classroom to reinforce and develop literacy curricular concepts outlined in the literacy framework?
Ask additional and follow-up questions as appropriate.
With the help of your mentor teacher, identify 3-5 students above, at, or below standard achievement in the classroom environment that would benefit from additional learning support. Obtain from your mentor teacher the unit and standards the class is currently learning, in order to prepare for future clinical field experience assignments.
Speak with your mentor teacher and, provided permission, use any remaining time to seek out opportunities to observe and/or Help your mentor teacher or another teacher and work with a small group of students on instruction in the classroom. Your mentor teacher must approve any hours spent observing another classroom environment.

As an AI language model, I am unable to access the “COE Lesson Plan Template” and “Class Profile” that are needed to complete the assignment. However, I can still provide you with general information and strategies for assessing and improving reading comprehension in kindergarten students based on Georgia Standards.
Examples of strategies to effectively assess students’ comprehension of reading in kindergarten:
a) Retelling: Students retell the story they have read or listened to, summarizing the main events and ideas in their own words.
b) Graphic Organizers: Students use graphic organizers such as story maps, sequence charts, and character webs to organize their thoughts and show their understanding of the story.
Strategies to implement if a student is struggling with reading comprehension in kindergarten:
a) Pre-teach vocabulary: Previewing and teaching vocabulary words before reading the text can help students understand the story and improve comprehension.
b) Provide visual aids: Using pictures, videos, and other visual aids can help students better understand the text and make connections to their own experiences.
c) Guided Reading: Small group or one-on-one guided reading sessions with the teacher can provide additional support and personalized instruction for struggling readers.
d) Encourage re-reading: Encouraging students to re-read the text can help them better understand and retain the information.
Literacy assessment and framework for kindergarten:
a) Successful literacy assessments that have proved to be successful in identifying student needs include DIBELS, MAP, and Running Records. These assessments were chosen based on their validity and reliability.
b) Data collection methods used to track and monitor student progress include informal observations, formative assessments, and summative assessments.
c) Assessment data drives curriculum and the literacy framework by identifying areas of need and informing instructional decisions.
d) A comprehensive literacy framework includes a balanced approach to reading instruction that includes phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
e) Technology tools used to focus on continuous and effective data include online assessments and data tracking software.
f) Data information is shared with students and families through progress reports, parent-teacher conferences, and other forms of communication.
g) A typical literacy block of instruction includes a variety of activities such as read-alouds, guided reading, independent reading, and literacy centers.
h) The cognitive, emotional, social, and developmental needs of students are factored into instruction choices through differentiated instruction and individualized support.
i) Curriculum is monitored and adjusted based on student needs through ongoing assessments and progress monitoring.
j) Technology tools utilized in the classroom to reinforce and develop literacy curricular concepts outlined in the literacy framework include interactive whiteboards, educational apps, and online reading resources.
Effective reading instructional strategies for kindergarten students involve various assessments and differentiated instruction that meets the diverse needs of students. It is important to use multiple strategies to assess comprehension and provide personalized support to struggling readers. Literacy assessment and framework should be comprehensive and include a balanced approach to reading instruction that addresses all aspects of literacy. Through ongoing assessments and progress monitoring, teachers can make informed instructional decisions and adjust the curriculum to meet the needs of all students.
