Standard 3: Demonstrates competence in planning and preparing for instruction.
3 a. Uses achievement data, local standards and district goals to plan instruction.
IEP Progress Monitoring Graph
Every two weeks, special education students are given probes to measure progress. Progress on graphs is shared with students after each probe, so students know exactly where they stand at all times.
3 b. Sets and communicates high expectations for social, behavioral, and academic success.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo is an app that tracks behaviors. Students can and do check their progress daily. Points are then awarded that they can spend in the classroom store.
Email to Parent
Keeping parents informed of student progress is an important part of my job. I email parents regularly to avoid having students fall too far behind.
3 c. Developmental needs, background & student interest used to plan instruction.

3 d. Selects strategies to engage all students in learning.
KidBlog
I have just recently started implementing KidBlog. Students are using it as a communication tool with Wartburg student partners; W-SR 7th and 8th graders are reading either Iqbal or The Outsiders respectively, and so are the Wartburg students, They then discuss the book using the blog. I feel that this gives W-SR students an authentic writing experience and the opportunity to get the perspective of someone closer to their age and other than their teacher. ;)
3 e. Available resources used in the development & sequencing of instruction.
