I am a reading teacher at a very large school in Salem. I would like to be able to provide Independent work portfolios and tabs in which students will collect work samples from the entire year. The colorful binders and tabs will allow students to set goals and collect data to show the progress they will make. Also it will motivate students! Students will be able to set measurable goals and then show when they grow as a mathematician or as a reader. When a struggling reader becomes frustrated, they will be able to look back at their previous months work to see how they have grown. Next year we are adding an intervention block, where teachers will be individualizing instruction to provide interventions/ or to challenge their students. Each 6-8 weeks, students will set measurable goals for literacy, math and science and teachers will help students to collect data and work samples to monitor their progress. Some of these goals may include: Kindergarten: recognize and write the letters in my name, 1st grade: read 100 snap words, 2nd grade: Describe the characters in my writing journal using character traits, 3rd grade: Compare and contrast two of my favorite books, 4th grade: highlight or underline information in an article to help answer comprehension questions. Goals will be set with the students so that they are measurable and meaningful. Any and all contributions are welcome and would make a large impact at our school. As a public school educator I purchase many supplies on my own and would appreciate the help to provide this for our teachers and students.
