While I was interpreting the test data I thought about my observations of the student during testing. The observation of the length of time he spent on problems and his often use of his fingers to calculate basic math, initiated my research. I began finding a plethora of research about the importance of math fluency for student success. Math fluency is a student’s ability to quickly recall math facts. A student who has developed automaticity with basic math facts is able to use their entire working memory on the higher level math instead of squandering some of their limited working memory to figure out all of the math facts necessary to solve the problem.…
Listening: 42%, meaning that Sarah Lee scored equal to or above 42% of her peers during this test. This portion of the test was fairly consistent with other children her age; therefore I can conclude that Sarah Lee most likely does not have issues with listening. Organizing: 7%, meaning that Sarah Lee scored at or below 93% of the children her age that took this test, rending her score significantly low. …

My case study student is a second grader who loves mystery books, video games and playing with friends. My first day in the classroom before being assigned my case study student, I almost immediately bonded with my case study student over the stories of Goosebumps, after that he constantly asked me to sit with him during lunch and asked me for help. I would consider him to have a limited internal dialogue because he often says whatever is on his mind, but it frequently turns out hilarious and gives his audience of peers a good chuckle. The literacy portion each day is centered around the daily five and in one station they walk to reading. The students work on a new high frequency word where they have to an antonym, synonym, a rhyme and write…

Shevaun was administered the MASI-R Oral Reading Fluency Measure test to check his oral reading fluency level. The results can be used to extend the academic rigor of instructional strategies or to adjust prior instruction to meet Shevaun’s need. The test consists of three student passages and three teacher passages for the teacher to score. All three readings were administered on the same day, and the median score was calculated. He was given one minute to complete each passage.…
Aaliyah exhibits a significant weakness with her long term storage and retrieval as evidenced by her performance withing the cognitive assessment. This may indicate that Aaliyah may experience difficulty with storing and retrieving previously taught concepts to utilize them at a later time for new learning. This can impact her ability to keep pace withing the general curriculum as well as her ability to recall important information for tests or proper knowledge when learning new related concepts. She may require consistent repetition and practice as well as refreshing previously taught concepts. Based on evaluation results and classroom based assessments, it is apparent that Aaliyah is not currently achieving at her expected ability level…
According to the book, interdependent work relationships are required with virtual teams. When work teams are interdependent they share common goals and responsibilities. Also team members are self-motivated and reliant on themselves rather than others (Nelson, 2013). The book also states that communication effectiveness and stimulating work are two key human factors that determine the success or failure of virtual teams. Clarifying objectives is important when talking about the success of virtual teams.…
READING The Basic Reading Skills composite measures EE107’s ability to read a list of words and correctly pronounce nonsense words. EE107’s standard score of 75 falls in the low range at the 5th percentile, indicating that she performed at or 5 percent of her peers.

The students will also be assessed by their ability to make an inference while reading their independent reading book. During Daily Five, the students will be asked to make an inferce as they read. This form of assessment will help me recognize the students that have a true understanding of this skill and are able to use the skill independently. I plan to use the results of this assessment to tailor my future lesson. If I notice during the turn and talk that not a lot of students understand the skill, I know that I will need to continue modeling my thinking when making an inference.…
