Understanding and Applying Standards
A standard is a
clear and public criteria for judging whether a student, an institution or the
education system as a whole, comply with common quality expectations; expresses
a desired situation regarding what is expected for all students to learn in
each of the areas along its way through the Basic and Secondary Education.
I understood that
the standards in Spanish are grouped into four areas that are equally important
in the four stages key:
1. Reading
2. Writing
3. Speaking and
listening
4. Knowledge of Language
and Communication
I chose the Writing
Standard for Second grade for the assignment because it is important to
encourage writing as a means of communication and as a tool to organize
thinking, and the sooner the student gets acquainted with the process the
better writer he will be in the future. Even though the standard I chose was
for a Second grade I put a lot of dedication in designing the best lessons and
activities for the students that will help them, as they grow, in becoming good
writers.
I also worked in
understanding standards, how to interpret them to be able to implement in the
design better lesson plans.
The assignment in
unpacking standards was about looking backwards to see if the lessons,
objectives, and assessments met the final criteria of the product. It actually help me to have the opportunity to compare how I usually plan
lessons focused in the goal, while unpacking the standard is focusing in the
objective of the lesson.
In the SMART
objectives assignment I was able to try to work on more clear objectives to
stay focused in an effective learning process, keeping in mind Specific, Measureable,
Attainable, Relevant, and Targeted to develop better lesson plans.
I think that keeping in mind what we did in the
three assignments can make teaching easier. Preparing good lesson plans aligned
with the standards will help me attain the goal of being a better teacher who
is able to teach effectively and efficiently.
