UNIT WORK SAMPLE GUIDELINES EARLY CHILDHOOD & ELEMENTARY
Successful teacher candidates support learning by designing a Unit Work Sample that employs a range of
strategies and builds on each students strengths, needs and prior experiences. Through this performance
assessment, candidates provide credible evidence of their ability to facilitate learning by meeting the following
standards:
The candidate uses multiple assessment strategies and approaches aligned with learning goals to
assess student learning before, during and after instruction.
The candidate designs instruction for specific learning goals, student characteristics and needs, and
learning contexts.
The candidate uses regular and systematic evaluations of student learning to make instructional
decisions.
The candidate uses assessment data to profile student learning and communicate information about
student progress and achievement.
The candidate reflects on his or her instruction and student learning in order to improve teaching
practice.
The candidate will create a Unit Work Sample to demonstrate its impact on student learning. The attached
template, which consists of several components, should be used to fulfill this requirement. Attach samples of
student work as an appendix.

Section I:
Candidate: Rachel Troutman
Cooperating Teacher: Mary Pent
District: Orangeburg County School District 5

Subject: All Subjects
School: Dover Elementary
Academic Year: Spring 2016

Grade Level: First Grade
Dates of unit: from March 14, 2016 to March 18, 2016
Section II: Description of Students: Describe (1) the number of students, (2) demographics of the students, and (3)
any other special features or important information that you included in your Long Range Plan as you described your
students. Dont forget to include how you obtained your information about the students.
The student data that I have collected is essential in knowing how to teach my class. Every aspect of their
lives affects the classroom. The students reading levels, disabilities, interests, gender, and ethnicity all
factor in the way that I teach them.
My cooperating teacher, Mrs. Pent, has 21 students in her first grade class. The reading levels of
the students influence all of my instruction. I obtained reading level information from student data. If my
students cannot read on their grade level they may have difficulty learning in other content area. I have
noticed that if they cannot read on a first grade level they will most likely have a difficult time doing tasks
such as reading directions on an assessment. However, twenty percent of my students read on a high
average or high reading level, so I have to find reading material that will not bore them, but help them read
on an even higher level.
Certain conditions can hinder a students attention span. I obtained this information from student
records. A disability could also mean that a child is lacking in one subject and succeeding in another. A
disability could mean that a shadow is placed with the child to guide them throughout the school day. All of
the characteristics I have mentioned above are present in my classroom. I have students with a wide range
of disabilities. I have found it necessary to monitor and adjust when I notice that a student is struggling in a
content area. The student that is accompanied by a shadow makes impulsive sounds throughout the day. I
have learned that continuing with the lesson is usually the best way to deal with that situation.
Observing students to determine their interests can make a huge difference in planning. I observed
the students in centers to see what they like the best. Many of the students liked working with Legos,
modeling clay, and drawing. I have noticed that many of the students like tactile learning. So I have
incorporated tactile elements into my lessons. When teaching lessons I like to implement a hands-on
learning. I have had the students make moon craters by tossing rocks into a container filled with cocoa
powder and flour. When the students do writings, they illustrate what they are writing.
In the class, I have nine female students and twelve male students. Because of this, I have to be
careful to not have gender bias. When conducting a lesson and putting students into teams, I am careful not
to group boys with boys and girls with girls. Heterogeneous grouping works better to ensure no gender bias.
Currently in the classroom, there are twelve Caucasian students and nine African American students. I
found out this information during a teacher conference. There are two students in the class that are biracial.
Mrs. Pent explained that these students would be the nationality of their mother. Gender information can be
utilized to help determine lesson material. Since my classroom has different ethnicities I can work to make
the classroom one that is multicultural as a whole. I can achieve this through the lessons that I teach and
Revised 2015
the classroom organization.
Section III:
Contextual Factors: Describe the contextual factors, including the (1) relevant
student characteristics from Section II, as well (2) as other factors related to the community,
district, school, classroom or students, that are likely to impact instruction and/or student
learning with regard to the selected instructional unit. Include a (3) description of the ways in
which each of these factors will be taken into consideration during unit planning and
instruction.
Just as the students reading levels, disabilities, interests, gender, and

ethnicity all factor in the way that I teach them, other factors effect instruction and
learning. Factors that impact the community, district, school, classroom, and
students also make a difference in instruction and student learning.
According to http://www.townofnorth-sc.gov/ the town of North (where the
school is located) the most common jobs for people who live in this area are:
Education, Health and Social Services, Construction, and Manufacturing. I think this
gives a representation of the jobs of the parents whose students I teach. The
population of North is 754. It is a small town and I have found in my short amount
of time here, that in this town, the community wants to help its people.
This school resides in Orangeburg County School District Five. According to
http://www.ocsd5schools.org/?PN=AboutUs , Orangeburg Consolidated School
District Five is the largest of three public school districts in Orangeburg County,
serves approximately 7,000 students living in the city of Orangeburg and the
communities of Bowman and North. The district is also in very close proximity to
three institutions of higher learning (South Carolina State University, Claflin
University, and Orangeburg Calhoun Technical College) all of which the district has
numerous partnerships that enhance the educational opportunities of its students
and enhances the professional development of its faculty and staff. With all of that
being said, Orangeburg School District Five has a lot to offer its students.
Dover Elementary School has a positive school atmosphere and offers many
opportunities for student growth. The students are given an enormous amount of
opportunities to enhance learning. Since I have been at Dover Elementary, I have
experienced many extensions for learning on a daily basis. Since January, Dover
Elementary has hosted an African American History Program, Doctor Seuss Week,
Jump Rope for Heart, and a magic show that from Aiken Electric Cooperative that
focused on safety around electricity. I am thoroughly impressed with all that Dover
Elementary has to offer its students.
The classroom has 21 students. Many of the students have truly grown this
year in first grade. I have learned that first grade is a transition period after
kindergarten. The students are able to work together well. Mrs. Pent fosters a
Revised

learning environment for all of her students.
Individually each student is progressing through first grade well. There are

Objectives 1
and 2
Reflect on the instructional plans for the units: How does this instructional plan (1) establish a balance between grade-level
academic standards and expectations and the needs, abilities and developmental levels of individual students? (2) Discuss
the strategies used to teach students on varying levels. (3) Discuss how you designed your instructional plan using students
characteristics, needs and learning contexts.
I feel that these instructional plans are aligned with South Carolina First Grade standards and
they meet the needs, abilities, and developmental levels of each student. I want to ensure that the
objectives are correlated with the standards and are thorough, significant, challenging, and clearly
stated. The instruction is adjusted to meet each students development, diversity, and special needs.
While instructing I strive to access students prior knowledge to enhance and add to what the
student may already know. I strive to engage students through allowing them to see the material
outside of the classroom. Just as they learned how Frederick Douglass helped those around him, the
students can help their community as well. I frequently check for understanding so that each student
is able to let me know that they comprehend the material well.
The instructional plan is greatly determined by students individual characteristics, needs, and
learning contexts. I know that some of my students do not write as well as others. Many times their
illustrations help me understand the context of their writing. One of my students has a shadow; I
follow what is outlined in his IEP. Some of my students complete their classwork ahead of others. I
have centers set up around the classroom with extension activities.

Reflect on the unit assessments: (1) How did you determine that your unit assessments are valid and reliable for all
students? (2) How did you use your prior understanding of students skills to plan your instruction?
The assessments are valid and reliable because they are aligned with the material that I taught
in the unit. These assessments cover all content areas. The assessments evaluate the real life
experiences given to the students throughout the unit. Pre-assessments allowed me to see where my
students were before starting the unit. Formative assessments allowed me to see how the class did
during the unit. Summative assessments gave me understanding on how well my students learned
the material of the entire unit. Each assessment allowed for student growth and my understanding of
where each student was academically.

what were the overall results?
(5) Based on the overall results, did the students gain from this unit all that you expected? Why or why not?
(6) Include a description of the ways in which these results have been recorded as well as how and to whom they have been
reported.
(7) Provide evidence to support the impact on student learning in terms of the number of students who achieved and make
progress toward the unit objectives.
The information of the table did allow me to better understand students progress relative to

I chose a subgroup based on gender. I chose male students for the subgroup. I also chose two
males in the classroom for another group. It is obvious that their families are involved in their learning
outside of the classroom.
I assigned grades based on how many questions the student answered correctly. If a student
answered in a way that was questionable (if they answered with a 6 that looked more like a zero) I

would mark the answer wrong. Each question was worth 12.5 points. The assessment had 10
questions.
The students did gain all that I had expected. I expected for most of them to understand the
material in the pre-assessment, and the majority did. Only 19 percent scored lower than a 100 on the
post test.
These results follow evaluation criteria and are set up in the teacher gradebook on Power
teacher and are district wide for 1st through 12th grade. I have reported them to my cooperating
teacher.
The students achieved progress in learning unit objectives between the pre-test and the post
test. 43% of the 21 students scored below a 100 on the pre-test compared to 19% of the 21 students
scoring below a 100 on the post test.
Section VII. Reflection and Self-Assessment

(1) Reflect on and describe the relationship between your students progress and achievement and your teaching
performance.
(2) If you were to teach this unit again to the same groups of students, (2) what, instructional decisions would you make to
improve your students performance? What specific aspects of the instruction need to be modified?
(3) What activities were successful? Which were unsuccessful? Give reasons based on theory or research as to why you
believe the activities were successful or unsuccessful.
My students progress and achievement are directly related to my teaching performance. I

believe that if I am teaching effectively, the students are learning from my instruction. If I were to
teach this unit again I would have the students use manipulatives. I feel that would help validate what
I was showing them during instruction. The direct instruction of the unit could be modified.
Revised 2015
I feel that the way that the students graphed later in the unit was successful. I could use more
hands-on learning to help the students better understand the material. Constructivist Theory supports
the idea of discovery and hands on learning. This theory comes from Piaget and Vygotskys theories.
