Assessment Description
Data should drive instruction and, as a best practice, teachers should gather formal and informal data before, during, and after every lesson. This is especially important when integrating cross-curricular content into English language arts (ELA) lessons. Students who face learning challenges related to literacy skills often have similar struggles in other content areas such as math, social studies, and science. Since students’ reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills and abilities vary widely in all classrooms, it is important to identify how poor literacy skills can negatively affect performance in other curricular areas and select intervention, remediation, and differentiation strategies that can be applied across disciplines. This can support teachers in meeting the unique literacy needs of each student and help them work toward becoming proficient in literacy and more successful in all the content areas.
Carefully review the data for each student in the “SPD-581 Class Profile.” Assume the students in the “Class Profile” are in the grade level that you are most interested in teaching. Using the data from the “Class Profile,” complete the “SPD-581 Cross-Curricular Unit Plan” template as directed.
