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 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.
In Dr. Jamisons class, there are twenty-one students twelve being females and nine being males. The
demographics include nineteen African American students and one Hispanic student. All twenty students in
the class receive free lunch. The reading level of the students varies from pre-primer to third grade level.
Out of the twenty students in the classroom, one student gets pulled out for resource, one gets pulled out
for speech, and one gets pulled out for ESOL. I received the students description from various sources
such as classroom observations, conversations with my cooperating teacher, cafeteria manager, class
roster, and student files.
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
Since there are more females in the classroom, I would need to create a classroom environment that
which each of these factors will be taken into consideration during unit planning and
makes all the students feel equal with no gender being left out.
instruction.
I would make sure that I treat all the students fairly. Since the class is predominantly African American
except for one student, I would make sure that they are included in the lessons and activities by
providing examples of their culture.
Seeing that all twenty students receive free lunch lets me know that they come from a low
socioeconomic status, so they will not have funds to buy the necessary things for school. They may
also face challenges academically.
One student is reading on a 3rd grade level. Two students are reading on the 2nd grade level. The rest
of the students are reading on a pre-primer to a 1st grade level but some are not far from the 2nd grade
level. Since three students are on track with their reading, I would have to find ways to accommodate
the other students. As the teacher, I can provide more reading strategies during the lessons.
With three students being pulled out of the classroom, I would make sure to accommodate all these
students in the lessons and activities.
As their teacher, I need to know all of my students in the classroom. I need to know their strengths,
weaknesses, and learning styles when it comes to planning the instruction. I need to provide

strategies that will incorporate all learners. I will use this information to provide my students with a
safe and positive environment to help them succeed.

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.
My instructional plan will meet the needs of all students by making sure the instruction is differentiated between
the learning styles. Different strategies such as pictures, manipulatives, and reading strategies will be
implemented in the different lesson plans so all students have a chance to be successful. For the students who
may have trouble comprehending the material, I plan to monitor and focus more on them when needed. For
the students who have mastered the concept, I will allow some of them to assist students who may need extra
help because students tend to learn best from their peers. Overall, all students should receive an equal chance
to learn no matter their learning styles.

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?
Revised 2015
I determined my unit assessments to be valid and reliable for all students by making sure they were aligned
with the standards in the Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5 pacing guide. I used my prior
understanding of students skills to plan by instruction by giving them a pretest of the content. This allowed me
to see who knew and did not know the content and what area(s) I needed to focus on more.

The information from the post assessment results increased my understanding of individual students
performance. It let me see what the students understood after the lessons was taught. By giving a pre and post
test, I was able to see the strengths and weaknesses of my students in regards to their understanding of the
content. After changing some of the lesson plans to meet the needs of the students, I saw that the students
who did not do well on the pretest improved a great deal on the post test. For example, a student went from a
50 on the pretest to a 100 on the post test which is a 50 point difference. Another student went from a 30 to a
90. With me monitoring and working with the low scorers, I see that they learned a lot and was able to
understand the content once taught. The results of the assessments were recorded in PowerSchool which is
Revised 2015
used to keep a record of students grades. Overall, the student did gain from this unit because the ones who
scored low on the pretest made progress on the post test and the ones who scored high on the pretest
remained the same.

Section VII.
There was a positive relationship between my students progress and achievement and my teaching
performance. They were able to understand my teaching and show evidence through their responsive
feedback and the results of their assessment. If I were to teach this unit again to the same groups of students I
would try to provide more small group and peer teaching opportunities because students sometimes
understand better from their peers. I also would have challenged the students who scored high on the pretest
since they grasped the content quickly. Using the topic math video is always success. The students are
engaged and answering the questions to the video.
