The raters were trained in the use of the coding system to rate the videos, through the self-guided DVD training and by reading the YMQI manual. Then, the raters were tested on the understanding of EIBI by completing the worksheets in the first week and obtaining around 80% correct answers on the multiple choices exam that tests behaviour principles. As for rating IBI sessions on five practice video recordings (5 minutes long), the rater must have at least 80% agreement on three training video recordings before starting to rate (Whiteford et al., 2012). Before start coding, the rater received 90% correct answers on the multiple choices exam and more than 80% agreement on five training video recordings; 80.64%, 85%, 88%, 91%, and 85%.

Teaching goals are the outcomes that the therapist targets and focusses on in each session. They are a type of target that a therapist uses to create a particular instruction. Teaching goals include ten teaching skills; attending, imitation, receptive and expressive communication, visual performance, self-help, pre-academics, academic, social skills and plays, and independence. Teaching goals in each session were planned to follow the children’s individual education programme by supervisors, therapists and relevant …show more content…
Also, the rating N/A could be used when there is nothing related with that item. For example, rated N/A when no repeated trials of the same exemplar or rated N/A when there is no prompt. The YMQI has two main approaches to rating items: the frequency approach and the evidence approach. Some items use both approaches. The frequency approach is looking for mistakes (problems that may occur in each session), significant mistakes (serious problems that may occur in each session) or how much the therapist corrected (such as total number of trials, reinforers given within 2-3 seconds after the correct response or use of the variety of prompts in different way, and so on.). As for the evidence approach, to show the evidence of high quality of teaching, that is looking for evidence that there are no clearly indentified mistake (such as item2: there are two or more exemplars for, which wording is varied), and missed opportunities (such as item2: there are many repeated trails (5 or more) of the same exemplars). A lower score on an item that is based on an evidence approach does not mean that teaching is poor. However, high scores can indicate high quality for each specific
Jarrod will work with a peer who is reading at 650L or higher on a text that is Jarrod’s frustration level. Jarrod and his partner will begin work on lesson 1 on the red LLI kit. The red LLI kit is designed for students reading in between 300L and 600L. Jarrod Jarrod will read the first 100 words on the passage by himself and running record will be completed to assess his correct words per minute. Then, Jarrod will begin working with the peer using choral reading or echo reading. Jarrod and his partner will read the text aloud at the same time, for at least two readings. On the second day Jarrod will read one time with partner using choral reading, then Jarrod and his partner will take turns reading a page to each other. Jarrod will continue this pattern for two days, then Jarrod will be assessed using a running record and 5 basic comprehension questions, with the target score of 80 percent
There are several main points that Danielson emphasized in this article. She began by explaining why there is a need to improve teacher evaluations; that the goal of any teacher evaluation should be to foster both student and

The second step is to examine the primary presentation forms. The four primary presentation forms are rules, examples, recall and practice. Depending on the performance level desired and then content classification, a different performance presentation is preferred. This also includes determining the practice requirements.
Tests consisting of only multiple-choice items are given a raw score based on correct answers on the test (ETS, 2011). No penalty is imposed for incorrect answers. Constructed response only tests are given a raw score from a composite of scores on individual items. Each item is read and scored by two qualified scorers who score according to a rubric and the sum of scores is the raw score for the item. For tests including both question types, raw scores are a weighted composite of raw multiple-choice score and individual constructed response scores.
As a teaching assistant, I should have a clear vision of what the learning objectives are and what are the intended outcomes of these objectives and how the teacher wish to achieve it. Sometimes the objective may have set for half termly but still however before each lesson I should discuss the learning objective with the learning group I have been assigned for . Depending on the objectives I should plan activities and prepare materials that are chorded at the apt tune for the learner’s different skills. It is also vital to make sure that the learner understands how each activity relates to his or her goals and targets.
An example of what a certified therapist might do at the beginning of a therapy session is place the horse in the middle of a big circle and ask the student to move the horse to the outside of the circle without touching the horse. This therapy teaches the children that when other people want to help the way they help isn’t by screaming or forcing but by being patient and understanding what they want. Another lesson they go through is trying to the lead the horse. The kids have to learn that in order to lead they can’t be ahead and force the horse to

Cooperative learning and feedback are also key strategies within this instructional unit. Students will use rubrics, a form of feedback, to observe each other’s performance. Students will then discuss the rubric with the peer observed in order to praise correct techniques demonstrated.

The teacher was rated using a rubric with specific criteria in four domains including planning and preparation, the classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities (Hillsborough County Public Schools, 2012). Within each of these domains are components which are the performance factors that are relevant to classroom teachers. In domain one the components include: demonstrating knowledge of content and pedagogy, demonstrating knowledge of students, setting instructional outcomes, demonstrating knowledge of resources and technology, designing coherent instruction, and designing student assessments. The components for domain two include: creating an environment of respect and rapport, establishing a culture for learning, managing classroom procedures, managing student behavior, organizing physical space. In domain three the components included are: communicating with students, using questioning and discussion, engaging students in learning, using assessment in instruction, and demonstrating flexibility and responsiveness. There is only one component that was rated for domain four which is reflecting on teaching.
The instrument is designed to collect nominal data from participants who have been interviewed as part of the study. Content analysis will be used to find potential emergent themes. The one question administered is, "Do you like the way this course was conducted?". The pilot returns the following data: "I love the course", "I liked the course", "I liked the way the course was delivered", "I hate the course", "This course sucked", "Potatoes". Please explain if the instrument is reliable and
The next stage was to find appropriate texts; ones which would both match the specifications and yield suitable items (Alderson et al. 1995:43). In this case I decided to write and record my own listening texts as I found it very difficult to find authentic or published texts which matched the requirements of the test specifications and the level of the students, and therefore have content validity (Brown 2004:22-3).
The most successful teaching begins with clarity about important learning outcomes and about the evidence that will show that learning has occurred (Marzano, 2010, p. 74)
