CLA2 Comprehensive Learning Assessment (CLA 2) Presentation

In addition to your CLA2 report, please prepare a professional PowerPoint presentation summarizing your findings for CLA2. The presentation will consist of your major findings, analysis, and recommendations in a concise presentation of 15 slides (minimum). You should use content from your CLA2 report as material for your PowerPoint presentation. In addition, you should include learning outcomes from all your major assignments. This would include PA1, CLA1, PA2, and of course, CLA2 (unless otherwise specified by your Professor). An agenda, executive summary, and references slides should also be included. Please keep in mind that the university is moving towards a more digital footprint for our students. This means that your final CLA2 presentation may be recorded, so that you may include it in your “e-portfolio” (graduating students should have all of their CLA2 presentations on a flash-drive, in addition to student biography, resume, interests, and so forth). Students will present their PowerPoint during the last week of class in either the On-Campus Class Session or the online Virtual Class Session, as determined by the professor. Presentations should not exceed 15 minutes.

Grading Rubric: See detailed grading rubric for this assignment.

This assignment will meet the course objective(s) • Critically  analyze and discuss psychological issues. •Explain and critically  evaluate major topics and research in psychology. To meet these  objectives, you will be required to develop and present an in-class oral  presentation based on the topic chosen for your annotated bibliography.  This is your opportunity to share what you have learned during your  mini-review of the topic related to the material in the course that you  found particularly interesting.

This may be the first time you or others have presented so it is  important to maintain a safe environment and to encourage and support  one another without fear of judgment from peers.

Guidelines for your presentation

What do include: You should focus your presentation  on a narrow topic and cover it well. Do not try to include everything  you have learned but rather integrate the information from the 3  articles to “tell a story”. All the information in the slide must come  from the references you used for your individual annotated  bibliographies. You may not use information from websites or other non-peer-reviewed sources. You may use pictures, graphs, etc from other non-academic sources.

Formatting: The presentation must follow APA  guidelines with in-text citations and a single reference list at the end  of the presentation. This is a 3-5 minute presentation so it should be  about 5 slides including an APA formatted title page (separate slide)  and an APA reference list (separate slide).

Using the Module 5 in the textbook, On this activity you will work with your team members to create a comprehensive assessment calendar; and then prepare a PowerPoint presentation to share the calendar and assessment plan with appropriate staff members.  If your school or district has an assessment calendar you may use that as a starting point, but you need to ensure that all the required components are included.  If you have never seen an assessment calendar there are several you can find via the internet.

PART 1:  CALENDAR

Step 1:   Each person must find an example of a different, specific school or district assessment calendar.  It should be shared in the discussion forum along with 2-3 key ideas you notice in the calendar.

Step 2:  The team and team leader should review all the assessment calendar formats and decide on a format for the team task.

Step 3:   The team should decide if you are producing a calendar for one grade level, multiple grade levels, a whole school or district.  You need to develop a calendar for a minimum of a single grade level.  If your school / district calendar has a sample calendar you may use that as a starting point.  If your school/district has a calendar with multiple grade levels you may use these, but it will be more challenging to include all the required components.  Classroom formative and summative assessments must be included as well as professional development time as needed to prepare to administer the tests and to analyze the results.

CALENDARS MUST INCLUDE:

1.Standardized testing dates.  For example, state testing dates, periodic assessments such as MAP, STAR, KRAL, Iowas/COGAT, etc.

2.Before and after standardized testing dates there should be specific professional development time allocated to review testing procedures before the administration of the tests and professional development time after to evaluate the results of the tests.

3.Common grade level assessment dates.  There should also be time allocated for preparation and review of results noted.

4.A common rubric that will be used a few times throughout the year to assess a specific learning objective.

5.A final, teacher-created summative, performance-based assessment.  This could be a capstone project, a Problem-based learning (PBL) project, a student portfolio, an end of year student project, etc.

6.A date or dates should be included that introduce assessments and then explain results to parents.

PART 2:  POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

Once the calendar has been developed a PowerPoint presentation needs to be created that will explain the assessment calendar to staff.  Assume that your calendar is being presented at the beginning of the school year and you will be talking to individuals totally new to the teaching profession as well as experienced staff.

I encourage you to review suggestions for making an effective PowerPoint presentation; such as including only a few words per slide, putting supplementary information in the notes section, etc.

For this assignment, please firstly set a timeline for team members as final due date is April 11. The example has uploaded. Then please build a PPT as part two.
