Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AbstractUndergraduate students entering into their junior year at the South Dakota School ofMines and Technology will be required to take the Collegiate Assessment of AcademicProficiency exam, a portion of which is dedicated to information literacy skills. Iresearched information literacy, its background, standards, and the methods universitiesuse to teach it. SDSM&T is creating a WebCT environment entitled “Mining InformationLiteracy” to quiz students on their information literacy skills. I determined that the bestway to assist English professors who are instructing students in this area is to create awebsite explaining the major points of information literacy. I also composed a series ofsample quizzes to be uploaded into the WebCT environment. Both the website andWebCT quizzes can be modified to emphasize specific areas as professors oradministrators deem necessary.

Download or read book Exploring South Dakota Through Project Based Learning written by Carole Marsh and published by Gallopade International. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring South Dakota through Project-Based Leaning includes 50 well-thought-out projects designed for grades 3-5. In assigning your students projects that dig into South DakotaÕs geography, history, government, economy, current events, and famous people, you will deepen their appreciation and understanding of South Dakota while simultaneously improving their analytical skills and ability to recognize patterns and big-picture themes. Project-based learning today is much different than the craft-heavy classroom activities popular in the past. Inquiry, planning, research, collaboration, and analysis are key components of project-based learning activities today. However, that doesnÕt mean creativity, individual expression, and fun are out. They definitely arenÕt! Each project is designed to help students gain important knowledge and skills that are derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subject areas. Students are asked to analyze and solve problems, to gather and interpret data, to develop and evaluate solutions, to support their answers with evidence, to think critically in a sustained way, and to use their newfound knowledge to formulate new questions worthy of exploring. While some projects are more complex and take longer than others, they all are set up in the same structure. Each begins with the central project-driving questions, proceeds through research and supportive questions, has the student choose a presentation option, and ends with a broader-view inquiry. Rubrics for reflection and assessments are included, too. This consistent framework will make it easier for you assign projects and for your students to follow along and consistently meet expectations. Encourage your students to take charge of their projects as much as possible. As a teacher, you can act as a facilitator and guide. The projects are structured such that students can often work through the process on their own or through cooperation with their classmates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Dakota Assessment System provides information for schools to use in evaluating their teaching and curriculum as well as allowing parents to monitor their child's progress. All public schools in South Dakota test students according to South Dakota Codified Law 13-3-55, which was adopted in January 1997 and amended in January 2003. This law mandates that every public school district shall annually administer the same assessment to all students in grades three to eight, inclusive, and in grade eleven. The assessment shall measure the academic progress of each student. Every public school district shall also annually administer to all students in grades five and nine an achievement test to assess writing skills. The assessment instruments shall be provided by the Department of Education. Each state-designed test shall be correlated with the state's content standards. The assessment is used to determine individual, school-level, district-level, and statewide achievement in reaching the goal of proficiency of the state's essential core reading and math content standards. South Dakota has four performance levels: Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic. Performance descriptors have been set for reading and mathematics. These descriptors are narrative statements of academic achievement at each of the performance levels and provide students, parents, and teachers with information as to the level of mastery of South Dakota essential core content standards. Individual reports are available for the state assessments. School building and district results show how groups of students are performing and the success of the school or district in helping students meet the proficient and advanced performance levels. Those students, who are unable to participate in a statewide assessment as determined by the IEP (Individual Education Program) team, will participate in the Statewide Team-led Alternate Assessment Reporting System (STAARS). A resource list is provided. An Eligibility Criteria Worksheet is appended.

Download or read book Low reading ability in a High School in South Dakota What are possible improvement measures written by Stephen Grams and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 19.00, , course: Eductional Change, language: English, abstract: This thesis presents a change project for a High School. The High School is a rural school on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota. According to MAPS tests administered during the 2014-2015 school year, a majority of students in the 9th grade had a third-grade reading level. This state of affairs was evidenced when a student was asked to read aloud out of a textbook during class. The low reading level ability was reflected in the low scores a great number of students received in Freshman Science class. Most were experiencing learned helplessness and would not even participate in class which led to discipline problems. The purpose of an innovation would be to improve reading skills starting at the beginning of the students’ life, and life in school in order for the student to have adequate reading capabilities in high school and beyond. That the teacher can affect the ability to read as early as Kindergarten is a possibility. It was found that a Kindergarten teacher’s affective quality had an influence on working memory, which in turn effects skills in first grade. Most effective was the child’s learning of independence through the way the teacher treated the student. In another study, it was found that development of the phonological loop aspect of working memory predicted better reading skills for Chinese students. The studies suggest that reading skills in children can be affected even earlier than in Elementary School. The students would benefit from a reading program to improve skills, as well as the teachers who could assign reading assignments and have students read in class, the school would benefit because scores would increase.

Book excerpt: Your formula for managing innovation and transforming learning #EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education is a refreshing change from the negativity so common in the world of education today. Over the course of a 3-month solo road trip across the United States, author Grant Lichtman discovered that there is much to be positive about in today's K-12 schools. Lichtman, one of the country's leading experts in educational innovation, interviewed over 600 teachers, administrators, students, parents, and trustees to find out what kind of innovations they're doing right—and how others can leverage their successes. Innovation in education takes hard work, planning, and cooperation. With examples from around the country and findings from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that schools and learners need now. Today's 21st century education presents unique challenges and opportunities to students, and this is a trailblazing practical guide to making sure education is ready for the future. #EdJourney focuses on four key questions: What new learning strategies are the top schools implementing to prepare our students for their future rather than for our past? How do teachers and administrators manage transitions to new types of teaching and learning? What are the key obstacles to shifting away from the assembly line model of education? How can we all leverage the lessons of success from the most innovative schools? The concrete examples and advice in this book will help you bring innovation and educational design concepts into your school. #EdJourney goes beyond the theoretical need for change—by now a familiar topic to almost everyone—and takes a real-world approach to achieving transformative education in any school.
