Effective Pedagogy
I can create effective and meaningful instruction and assessments for all students based on required subject matter knowledge, state content standards, curriculum goals, and use of technology.
Artifact #1
Included below are a Unit plan and five lesson plans that I created and designed as part of the Cells Unit, Standard 3, 7th Grade Science Core. These plans provide evidence that I can create effective and meaningful instruction. The five lessons are part of the Cells Unit and include lab activities and technology components. I've also designed custom Prezi's for each lesson with embedded assessments and videos.
An additional lesson plan on Volume is also included because it provides an example of an inquiry based lesson and laboratory that I designed. The Volume lesson also meets the requirements of Standard 1, 7th Grade Science Core.

Artifact #2
The following files include a summative assessment for the Cells Unit included in Artifact #1 . This artifact provides evidence that I can create effective and meaningful assessments. This summative assessment is a common assessement that was used for all 7th Grade Science classes at Fossil Ridge Intermediate School as part of the PLC process. I created a spreadsheet and graphed the results according to various contextual factors and provided an explanation of the outcome of the assessment.

Artifact #3
The following files include a summative assessment for the Matter Unit that is required as part of Standard 1 of the 7th Grade Science Core. This particular artifact provides evidence that I can custom create effective and meaningful assessment on my own. This assessment was custom desiged for my class 7th Grade Science studens only. Also included below is the assessment blueprint used to design the quiz, a spreadsheet as well as the graphed results according to various contextual factors. Also an explanation of the outcome is included in the Project Write-Up.
