sjohnson379 — 2024-08-27 01:41:48 UTC

I noticed the current due dates for these assignments reflect the spring semester schedule.

sjohnson379 — 2024-08-27 01:51:20 UTC

What is the exact length or duration of the demo lesson? Are there any time constraints I need to be aware of?

Required Textbooks

2024-08-27 01:57:07 UTC

Hi ! I found the textbooks on Amazon. Is there another website or resource where we could find these texts at a ~cheaper~ price?

Thank you !

sjohnson379 — 2024-08-27 01:58:33 UTC

When it comes to the Intervention Demo assignment, I am concerned about how to accurately and properly summarizing and interpreting the results. I may also need support in understanding how to use and interpret the Diagnostic Plan effectively.

cbartolo1_1 — 2024-08-27 02:11:00 UTC

Is the Intervention Demonstration a group or individual assignment?

Question about Intervention Demo

2024-08-27 02:11:56 UTC

Hi !

Just to clarify about when and how the demonstration will be presented.

Will it be in person with our classmates on October 7th?

Would we just present the mini-lesson to everyone as if it were a small group meeting?

cbartolo1_1 — 2024-08-27 02:25:50 UTC

Will there be any examples or templates provided for the Case Study of a Struggling Reader

assignment?

Signature Assignment

2024-08-27 02:29:55 UTC

Since the Case Study of a Struggling Reader is the signature assignment, and is worth a more significant amount of points , then it is the assignment I feel most concerned about. I am confident, however, that I will be given the instruction and guidance by educators and peers to get me through it. A support that could help would be finding the required textbooks at a more cost effective price.

I noticed that the Case Study takes a big portion of the core assignments and the purpose of these core assignments are to develop our language assessment and intervention skill as a teacher.

2024-08-27 02:34:17 UTC

2024-08-27 02:36:02 UTC

I am eager to research and collect evidence based practices for literacy interventions because I have never done so before. I am also curious about MTSS Team Planning Meeting Role Play assignment. I wonder if there are any templates or samples we could access when preparing for the assignment.

Is it individual work or work w/ partner? Is it oral presentation or like a written report?

2024-08-27 02:40:31 UTC

To be honest I am concerned all of the assignment including demo or case study. I dont have an idea how to conduct language assessment, analyze datas or result, and how to demonstrate or interpret the result in the way that makes sense. I need practice on these knowledge and skill.

2024-08-27 02:43:49 UTC

Question: Are we allowed to use resources used within our districts to support with developing SMART goals? resources such as Goalbook...

2024-08-27 03:08:21 UTC

Questions: I would also like to know if the Demo could be completed with a partner or is it an individual assignment and would google slides be acceptable for creating and submitting the presentation?

2024-08-27 03:13:54 UTC

Question: Is the Signature assignment a collection of information from the assignments we complete throughout the course, along with other research conducted throughout the semester?

2024-08-27 03:18:53 UTC

2024-08-27 03:36:39 UTC

Would we have the opportunity to work ahead?

2024-08-27 03:37:30 UTC

Would you provide an Intervention Demo example or guide us through the assignment

2024-08-27 03:41:41 UTC

I am concerned about any group work. My schedule is saturated with work, kids, and school.

2024-08-27 03:45:38 UTC

Would we get a study guide for the Final?

Will you be going over each assignment with us in class too, or are we going only based off the core assignment section on the syllabus?

2024-08-27 03:49:08 UTC

What is the due date for this assignment? I believe it shows for the spring semester.

2024-08-27 03:52:50 UTC

The intervention demo assignment has me stressing. I feel like as long as I ask questions, get started on time, then I will be good.

2024-08-27 03:54:24 UTC

I have the same question regarding the textbooks. Is there anywhere else we can get them for a lower price? They aren't available on Chegg.

2024-08-27 04:02:23 UTC

Are we taking the 3 parts of the Rica practice test for the alternate assignment? or are we taking only one section of the exam?

2024-08-27 04:07:13 UTC

Can we use PowerPoint slide to present the Intervention Slides?

2024-08-27 04:09:15 UTC

I would say to be honest the Intervention Demo if you can please provide an example and the presentation of the case study. Can use other Web sources?

2024-08-27 04:13:26 UTC

Do we need buy all books? Can you provides us with a name of a Website that we can afford buying those books for lower price?

2024-08-27 04:17:51 UTC

cbartolo1_1 — 2024-08-30 03:20:57 UTC

Are all the textbooks required or will there be readings provided?

cbartolo1_1 — 2024-08-30 03:22:47 UTC

will you go into more depth about the upcoming assignments in class?

2024-09-03 00:49:05 UTC

I am wondering as other classmates have mentioned if you will be going over the assignments that you have in the syllabus. I see that some of the assignments are group work, will the others be individual assignments?

2024-09-03 00:53:31 UTC

For this Demo Intervention will it only be a written intervention plan for the three areas we choose to work with?

2024-09-03 00:55:46 UTC

I am concerned about the Case Study if we need to conduct an interview with parents/guardians. The parents we work with are not in full communication with us where I would feel comfortable enough to rely on them to complete the Case Study.

2024-09-03 00:57:12 UTC

As other classmates have mentioned, I have looked for the required readings in the syllabus as well and they are pricey. Will there be other resources that we can use in order to have those readings?

Wonder:

2024-09-08 01:11:33 UTC

I am interested in learning more about the case study and if it is similar to that of which my district uses and/or similar to what I have learned in a previous class.

Group or Individual?

2024-09-08 01:12:17 UTC

Like someone above mentioned, I am wondering if the inervention demo is a group or individual assignment?

Time Management

2024-09-08 01:14:23 UTC

I feel that I am most concerned about the time management it takes to juggle all assignments from my 5 classes, along with long term assessments/studies while working as a teacher in the classroom. I am curious about the case study and noticed it is the heaviest weight on the grading scale.

Textbook Readings

2024-09-08 01:15:05 UTC

Are readings shared digitally or should we order the textbooks? I am concerned about the cost of them as many of my classmates have mentioned.

2024-09-10 00:27:20 UTC

Would it be possible to scan the material so we can read it on canvas.

The assignment that I am mostly concern about will be the RICA test prep. I am just wondering how that is going to look like when we are doing it during class. That is all of my concerns for right now.

jbanos3_1 — 2024-09-10 01:27:04 UTC

2025-01-26 03:38:21 UTC

I'm wondering what the student assessments look like and where the student assessments are from.

2025-01-26 03:44:48 UTC

An example would be helpful.

2025-01-26 03:47:57 UTC

I am most concerned about the case study assignment. Examples would give great support.

Questions - Wilber Pineda

wpineda13 — 2025-01-26 17:27:44 UTC

I am not really concerned about any assignment but do have questions, if any of the assignments are individuals or group work, and will we have class time to work on our assignments.

Intervention Demo Question - Wilber Pineda

wpineda13 — 2025-01-26 17:29:29 UTC

Will you provide an example of the Intervention Demo? and support/guiding us along the way to for this assignment

Require Textbook - Wilber Pineda

wpineda13 — 2025-01-26 17:31:08 UTC

Is there a link to get this textbook as a ebook for a way less expensive price?

Class Assignments

2025-01-28 03:26:25 UTC

Will these assignments require us to work with our students and create IEP goals? Will the RICA assignment grade go based on the grade we get on the practice?

2025-01-28 03:28:35 UTC

How long does the assignment have to be? Will we have class time to work on it?

2025-01-28 03:30:50 UTC

Can we use our own students to do the mock case study?

General Syllabus

2025-01-28 03:39:59 UTC

The syllabus is pretty straightforward, but if I have any questions throughout the semester I will be sure to ask.

Demo Assignment

2025-01-28 03:47:06 UTC

What is the length of the Demo Assignment? Is it a group or individual assignment?

2025-01-28 03:49:12 UTC

Can I use an student for the case study?

2025-01-28 03:50:13 UTC

I feel the most concerned about the demo assignment.

2025-01-28 03:51:58 UTC

When do I need to have the required book for class?

Assignments

2025-01-28 06:37:00 UTC

I feel the most concern about the assignments is my lack of knowledge of Language Arts standards. I have my experience in adult transition where the program is most focused on vocational and independent learning skills.

Textbook

2025-09-08 04:13:50 UTC

As others mentioned, I also wonder if you can provide us with the link for the required textbooks.

For ESN (Extensive Support Need) Students

2025-09-08 04:23:58 UTC

I am an ESN intern, and unfortunately, our students do not have a reading intervention like this. Will you be giving us the guideline or tips on how ESN candidates can complete this assignment?

Link not working?

2025-09-08 04:31:04 UTC

Link to Phonics Sample Video says it's a private video. Does anyone else see this too?

2025-09-08 04:37:05 UTC

I am concerned with the types of assessments that will be used. Can we use any students who do not have an IEP or 504 for our assignments?

2025-09-09 01:47:05 UTC

Would the case study match our districts?

2025-09-09 01:47:24 UTC

Are we able to choose a partner?

2025-09-09 01:47:49 UTC

On all of them :(

2025-09-09 01:49:20 UTC

Is there any link we can purchase the books in a more affordable way?

2025-09-09 02:04:34 UTC

Will you provide a sample of the case study.

2025-09-09 02:05:56 UTC

Will we receive samples on how this assignment should be done?

2025-09-09 02:06:24 UTC

I would like the most support and guidance with the case study.

2025-09-09 02:08:09 UTC

The syllabus is well explained but I'm nervous with the assignments.

Questions

vogunmowo1 — 2025-09-09 03:17:08 UTC

Where can I find more information about the case study or the case study for struggling students, more information on how to get started or examples of what we need to do. Also for all of the assignments where can I get more details about the core assignments

Demo assignment

vogunmowo1 — 2025-09-09 03:18:19 UTC

Where can I find more information about the intervention demo?

supports

vogunmowo1 — 2025-09-09 03:19:09 UTC

I think im overall confused as to what to do in order to prepare for the larger assignments and what I need to have done each class so I dont fall behind

last question

vogunmowo1 — 2025-09-09 03:19:57 UTC

For the readings do we only read the pages you assign or do we need to read the ntire chapter

2025-09-09 03:21:53 UTC

Is the intervention demo something we do with the student we are testing? or can it be done with classmates I noticed there is designated time on the syllabus

2025-09-09 03:23:23 UTC

I am interested in writing this case study. I wrote two different case studies last semester and I am curious to see what will be similar and different

2025-09-09 03:24:04 UTC

Right now I think Im ok! I have written case studies like this before I think just for me personally its managing my own time and other classes but thats more personal

2025-09-09 03:24:45 UTC

Nothing right now :) excited to learn more

Case Study Question

2025-09-09 16:13:08 UTC

If we're unable to find a student for our case study will there be other resources available for us?

2025-09-09 16:19:53 UTC

Is the intervention demo an explanation of how we conducted the intervention plan or explaining how to conduct it?

2025-09-09 16:28:13 UTC

Would there be opportunities to resubmit our previous work if we would like to get a better grade? - KC

2025-09-09 16:28:26 UTC

The case study because it's worth the most points. However, if you're able to explain it a bit more in class I'm sure I'll be fine. I did a speech case study last semester.

Core Assignment 1 Questions

2025-09-09 16:35:28 UTC

1. For core assignment 1, would these be eligible for doing in pairs or individual work?

2. For our case study subject, do they have to be qualified as dyslexic and would there be a preferred age range? I currently serve a setting of 14-21 year olds. Thank you. -KC

Intervention Demo Question

2025-09-09 16:39:16 UTC

Would there be only one assessment that can be used to conduct the intervention demo, or are there different options for tests? - KC

Overall Assignments

2025-09-09 16:43:45 UTC

I am a big overthinker, and I get overwhelmed when I don't understand assignments, sorry lol.

My concern would be how I would be able to conduct these assessments for the core assignments, as this would be my first time doing these in my life. - KC

2025-09-10 01:30:10 UTC

i think in general my biggest concern is finding a participant for the intervention plan. Im currently a substitute so i cant use the plan on anyone in the classroom. i have a friends kid who is already gonna be a participant for my other class. So i cant use him for this class also.

2025-09-10 02:26:10 UTC

is there anywhere to buy the textbook used

2025-09-10 02:26:55 UTC

are we choosing who we partner with for the demo?

2025-09-10 02:29:53 UTC

just asking for clarification. is core assignment #1 what we will use for the case study?

Core Assigment 2

2025-09-10 06:08:47 UTC

Does this assignments have a minimum age limit or is it simply a child that has already started their reading journey

2025-09-10 06:10:29 UTC

Is the Intervention Demo based on the student we select for core assignment 2? Or is that were selecting/creating an intervention at random

2025-09-10 06:11:22 UTC

I would say the case study and core 2. I am not in the classroom and would struggle to find a child. My baby is not reading yet, but i'll see what I can do.

2025-09-10 06:11:56 UTC

No questions actually see you next class professor

Will you provide exemplars for the core assignments?

2025-09-10 20:48:07 UTC

I am most concerned about the Intervention Plan for Case Study. How long must the informal/formal assessments be? How many should we have?

2025-09-10 20:52:12 UTC

None at the moment.

2025-09-10 20:52:44 UTC

If we must miss class due to school field trip how would we go about making up the activities on nearpod?

2025-09-10 20:54:07 UTC

Literacy Teacher’s Resource Discussion Board

2025-09-12 01:14:33 UTC

Literacy Teacher’s Resource Discussion Board: Where is this assignment located so that I can see how to begin and what to do? When I look on canvas I do not see this title under the modules anywhere. Thank you in advance

2025-09-13 18:16:18 UTC

After reviewing the syllabus, I dont have questions about the core assignments. For now, I have a good understanding of them

2025-09-13 18:18:00 UTC

The assigment I feel most concerned about is the case study. I feel worried about the actually administering. I think with the help of the assessment class, I will ok when it comes to it.

2025-09-13 18:19:13 UTC

I don't have any questions as of right now, I have a good understanding of the syllabus.

2025-09-13 18:23:53 UTC

I think I understand what is being asked of us, I understand that we have to present and have a demo in our presentation either live or recorded.

questions

2025-09-14 04:50:57 UTC

the syllabus is straight forward easy to follow and I don't have any questions for now.

2025-09-14 04:54:50 UTC

don't really have a question about the demo, the instruction are there and explain the steps to complete the assignment.

2025-09-14 04:57:03 UTC

i have concerns with the intervention demo assignment, I don't like presenting.

2025-09-14 04:57:41 UTC

don't really have any questions.

Core Assignment Questions

2025-09-14 20:54:47 UTC

Are we going to be going over the different parts of both core assignments in class?
What is the age range of the students for the assignments?

Other than that the syllabus is clear and dates are available.

Introvention Demo

2025-09-14 21:26:05 UTC

Will we be going over the different parts of the introvention demo in class or will we only be relying on the book and syllabus for guidance?

Concerns

2025-09-14 21:28:24 UTC

I'm pretty concerned about both assignments at the moment. I think with a little more guidance during class and becoming more familiar with the assessment materials I will have a better understanding and less concerns.

General Syllabus Question

2025-09-14 21:30:21 UTC

What will be on the final?

afuhrman1_1 — 2025-09-14 21:56:18 UTC

What types of sources will be available for the Internvention Plan & Demo? I am aware there is a video and sample attatched for reference. But what will be our best source when creating and internvention plan, the lectures, the readings, external sources more than one of these?

afuhrman1_1 — 2025-09-14 22:01:30 UTC

I am a bit concerned about both assignments. I am particular concerned about the Case Study. Not because of the actual work but rather the arragnement. I am a brand-new teacher and have not formed close relations with any of the parents of my students. I am a bit nervous about asking a favor out of them involving their children but I will do what I must.

afuhrman1_1 — 2025-09-14 22:08:11 UTC

How long will the in-class demo need to be? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Exact length of the actual session?

afuhrman1_1 — 2025-09-14 22:08:27 UTC

No other questions. Thank you.

Questions

2025-09-14 23:15:48 UTC

After reviewing the assignments, everything seems clear and I don't have any questions at this time.

2025-09-14 23:46:15 UTC

Would it be possible to go over an example of an intervention demo together in class?

2025-09-14 23:46:47 UTC

No questions.

Assignment of greatest concern

2025-09-15 01:11:38 UTC

My greatest academic anxiety concerning SPE 403 is the Intervention Plan for Case Study. I can complete step three the researching of peer reviewed articles and creating an activity, my problem is steps 1 and 2 because I just began observing last week in the classroom, so I am not established and haven't built professional relationships yet. Last semester I was contractually teaching, and my contract was not renewed due to declining enrollment which is how I ended up home in LA. I will be observing more often now, and I have a 2nd site to complete hours and hopefully a case study.

2025-09-15 01:20:45 UTC

For someone who teaches high school however may end up working in middle school in the spring should my intervention demo be for 9th to 12th or 7th to 8th? I am currently observing at two schools starting this week.

bborrelli1_1 — 2025-09-15 01:31:47 UTC

Should I complete the Intervention Demo at the middle or high school level? Starting this week I will be observing at both grade levels however most of my contractual teaching experience is at the high school level. Maybe now is not the time to get out of my comfort zone.

bborrelli1_1 — 2025-09-15 01:33:51 UTC

I am most concerned about the Intervention Plan for case study because I only started my first placement last week and my second observation school site begins next week so I am not at all established.

bborrelli1_1 — 2025-09-15 01:40:53 UTC

The Literacy Teacher's Resource Padlet is due this week it looks like. Feeling overwhelmed if that is the case.

bborrelli1_1 — 2025-09-15 01:47:48 UTC

CSUDH COE has been very accommodating, that being said I had to find my own placement/observation school site and have a late start on building community with the students as I am not currently teaching. I was RIFd last semester in the Bay Area due to declining enrollment along the coast. So any assignment with a case study aspect might be late.

2025-09-15 18:40:26 UTC

I feel nervous about the Intervention Demo and Case study. I want to make sure I use the the appropriate assessments. It would be really helpful to go over an example together in class.

When is the deadline to have my course textbooks?

mzuno1_2 — 2025-09-16 00:33:15 UTC

I'm a little confused—were we meant to have started the case study already? I think I could use a bit more info and direction on it.

mzuno1_2 — 2025-09-16 00:37:33 UTC

Will we be reviewing the requirements for the demo in more detail?

mzuno1_2 — 2025-09-16 00:39:35 UTC

Question:

2025-09-16 00:58:48 UTC

Will the case study assignment apply to those getting the extensive support needs credential?

2025-09-16 01:00:40 UTC

Will we receive more information for the Intervention Demo?

2025-09-16 01:03:07 UTC

I feel nervous about the Intervention Demo and the case study. Once we receive more information on the assignments I believe I will feel more comfortable.

2025-09-16 01:05:06 UTC

My question is, will all assignments be modified for those who are receiving their extensive support needs credential?

Assignments

2025-09-16 02:51:01 UTC

Will there be any group projects?

Demo Question

2025-09-16 02:57:34 UTC

Would we receive an example of the assignment?

Concern

2025-09-16 02:59:30 UTC

I am concerned about receiving consent on the demo for the students.

Padlet

2025-09-16 03:01:33 UTC

Will we continue to use Padlet for questions?

2026-02-01 18:28:16 UTC

Can you go over what is due during finals week?

Will you be able to share your expectations for assignments?

2026-02-01 18:30:04 UTC

Will you be able to make the demo video public? As of right now the video is shown as private.

2026-02-01 18:35:01 UTC

I will need guidance with understanding and using the CORE text and the CORE assignments.

2026-02-01 18:36:42 UTC

Can you briefly go over pages 10-11 and 15-20 in the syllabus?

Presentation

2026-02-01 22:52:10 UTC

How many presentations do we have in this class? Any group presentations?

2026-02-01 22:53:14 UTC

Are you going to show samples?

Recording

2026-02-01 22:56:09 UTC

I am most concerned about video taping myself.

mluna67_2 — 2026-02-02 07:43:48 UTC

No questions at the moment.

mluna67_2 — 2026-02-02 07:47:05 UTC

Will there be opportunities to practice in class for the assessments in the intervention demo?

mluna67_2 — 2026-02-02 07:53:13 UTC

Looking at the syllabus and context, it seems overwhelming, but I know it is done in sections to ease the load. Timeframe is probably my biggest concern.

mluna67_2 — 2026-02-02 07:56:03 UTC

None at the moment.

J. M.

2026-02-02 17:50:29 UTC

How much time do we have to get the required textbook?

J.M

2026-02-02 17:53:02 UTC

Will we be seeing an example of this demo?

J.m

2026-02-02 17:54:51 UTC
