A connection I made from this lecture to my practicum experience is the need to consider the student's first language when evaluating them. I have worked with several Hispanic students in my practicum experience whose first language is Spanish. Oftentimes, I have found the main issue is not that the student doesn't understand the material itself; it is simply that the language barrier limits them from comprehending the information.]]> 2023-10-03 16:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730560163 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730560335 Cognitive skills are in tact by age 10]]> 2023-10-03 16:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730560335 brelandmorgan https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730561220 Environments can be validated or invalidated- whether or not the test results are compromised (seen examples of this in my practicum class)]]> 2023-10-03 16:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730561220 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730561594 We have to analyze their test answers to figure out what is their problem area. ]]> 2023-10-03 16:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730561594 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2730561775 A weakness in comprehension knowledge is directly tied to a weakness in reading

I feel more confident in how to assess a student, especially 5th graders, after taking this course and focusing on all the different kinds of assessments. ]]> 2023-10-05 16:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734270214 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734282194 The connection that I made is that in our case study project; we have to collect data on our students and from that score/data, we look at the percentile chart. The speaker spoke in depth about how a student have to pass the screener stage to move on to assessment. Referral stage, screener stage and Parental stage are the three stages. I did not know about these stages, so it was interesting to learn about it when the speaker was discussing it.]]> 2023-10-05 16:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734282194 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734284520 I have gotten to witness multiple screeners be administered. ]]> 2023-10-05 16:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734284520 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734291030 I thought it was interesting that some students can have more than one exceptionality.]]> 2023-10-05 16:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734291030 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734297629 Another connection I made is a good environment is crictical for students. I have seen in my practicum experience when the students are in a quiet room they do a lot better on there tests. On the last week we were there the students had a assembly in them morning and the rest of the day all of the students were completely thrown off the rest of the day. Environment plays a big role in the success of students. ]]> 2023-10-05 16:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734297629 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734305332 1. There are students in my practicum who get to attend  this gifted program called EXCEL. The students typically get pulled once a week during class.
2. I also have ELL students who are pulled throughout the week for tutoring and intervention. ]]> 2023-10-05 17:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734305332 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734305611 I thought it was interesting when she began talking about the testing for artistic ability. I believe that happened to me when I was really young. They made me take my shoe off and draw it and apparently it was so good that they asked me to create an artistic portfolio. They didn't want me after that lol]]> 2023-10-05 17:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734305611 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734308029 I don't believe I made any practicum connections necessarily, but I noticed that she mentioned how students can be involved with IDEA but still be considered for gifted and I think that's really neat]]> 2023-10-05 17:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734308029 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734309419 In my practicum, students with IEP's have accommodations. ]]> 2023-10-05 17:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734309419 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734311370 The IEP students in my practicum are pulled from class every day for a few minutes to work with their inclusion teacher.]]> 2023-10-05 17:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734311370 https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734322105 The IEP students in my practicum are pulled from class everyday for a few minutes to work with their inclusion teacher.]]> 2023-10-05 17:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bstamm00/v34n9rz6b1c3fofl/wish/2734322105
