Information:
1. Knowledge of characteristics of

students
Use the spaces provided below to
address indicated characteristics of your students.

Ag
e-Range, Gender, Total number of students
In Mrs. Smiths class, most students are between 16 and 18 and there is a
fairly even mix of female and male students. The entire school is around 54%
males and 46% females. Mrs. Smith teaches around 105 students every day.

Achievement Levels (Remedial, Average, Advanced/ Accelerated, or specify

range in percentiles or grade-equivalent)
 Impact on Student Learning

Most of the students in the classes I observe are average students. There are a few
students in Mrs. Smiths classes that could be considered advanced, though. There are
also a very few students who have IEPs who may need a little more time to do
assignments.

Socio-Economic Description
A majority of students come from lower to middle class backgrounds. Most of the
students who have higher class backgrounds go to private schools within the county. 48%
of the students are not eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. 43% of the students are
eligible for free lunch, and 10% of them are eligible for reduced-price lunch. Their
textbooks are in good condition which is indicative of the school getting adequate
funding, though there is only a classroom set of books.

Typical Demeanor of Students

All of the students seem to get along well, without certain groups looking down on others
for what they do and do not have. There is one student who has begun to fall asleep in
class some; his home situation has changed, and he may not be getting the rest he needs
where he is living now. The students do respect Mrs. Smith, and they put their phones in
pockets on the back of the door during class time.

Typical Interest and Involvement of Students

A lot of the students are interested in sports, and many are involved in different sports.
Some play football, are cheerleaders, are in band, and are involved in power lifting. I
have also observed that some of the students take part in the ROTC program at Lafayette
High School. Most of the students enjoy music from country to rap and rhythm and blues.
The students seem to get more involved in class when it comes to activities that allow
them to interact, not simply writing notes and listening to lecture. As soon as the class is
over, students get their cell phones to text and check social media. Also, many students
enjoy reading and have read many books, but there are several who do not like reading.

2. Knowledge of students varied approaches to learning (Include information from

learning styles inventory)
There is a mix of learning styles in the classroom. Some students learn better using their
hands, listening to lecture, or reading the chapter and/or their notes. I try to build on
many different learning styles when preparing a lesson. There are some students with
IEPs in a few of the classes that I may have to reach in slightly different ways.

3. Knowledge of students skills and prior learning

Most, if not all, of the students are in the correct grade. They can all comprehend the material
that is being given to them, but some of the students choose not to pay attention at times. When
 Impact on Student Learning

they are paying attention, they can tell you what you have been talking about. They have the skill
set that it takes to understand the information if they will pay attention.

4. Knowledge of community and school district (Include a description of the community

and school district)
There is a mix of privilege in the community. Almost half of the students are not eligible for free
or reduced-price lunch, while the other half is eligible for the lunches. Most of the seniors have
their own vehicles; even though many are used vehicles, they are all in good condition. The
school is made up of buildings that have at least been partially renovated since it was build. I can
tell this by comparing my clinical instructors classroom with the office where I check in. The
office looks a lot newer than the classroom. Their textbooks are also in good condition which
indicates proper school funding. I also sent home a letter with my students in order to let parents
know why I was in their students classroom.

Introduction and Unit Summary:

The stock market goes along with the laws of supply and demand as
prices fluctuate. We learned about supply and demand not long a couple
weeks before the stock market unit. As more people demand a certain stock,
the price will go up because there is a set amount of shares of that stock on
the market for shareholders to buy. As demand drops, prices drop to try to
entice people to buy more shares of the stock. Shareholders should also keep
a watch on the market in order to make informed decisions of when to buy or
sale shares and shares of which companys stock they should buy. This also
 Impact on Student Learning

leads into looking at income and how it is taxed. Some people wish to invest
in order to bring in more money through dividends every month. They want
to supplement their income, but they also have to look at how their money
will be taxed. Students will realize how, based on the budget project the
students did after the stock market unit, more income can make them be
placed in a higher tax bracket. They may wish to remain in their lower tax
bracket.
The Stock Market can be difficult to understand. This unit clarifies the
Stock Market. We will learn about how to invest in the stock market and learn
some of the history behind the stock market. There are a couple of videos
that will further student understanding of the content. One video shows how
people of different social rankings were affected by the Great Stock Market
Crash. We will also be keeping portfolios for a week. The students will also
learn how to do some math in order to figure out how well their stocks are
doing. The unit starts out with a pre-test with vocabulary words. On the fifth
day, the students will take a quiz on the vocabulary. On the final day,
students will finish the unit with a test over the material.

Critical Thinking:
What do you already know about the Stock Market?
Would you invest in the stock market? Why or why not?
What risks and returns come from the stock market?
Why do people buy stocks?
How is the performance of stocks measured?
What would a complete crash in the stock market cause today?

These questions were asked throughout the lesson to engage student in discussion for
parts of the lesson. They were meant to help students understand the lesson for their own
betterment and knowledge of the stock market. Knowing the options the stock market can
bring you is important for students to learn about because they may want or need to
invest later in their life.

The performance task also engages students in choosing their own stocks from a list and
keeping up with them. Students then had to keep up with their stocks before we did math
with them. They were then instructed to decide which stocks did better than theirs and
which ones they would have rather chosen to keep up with and why.

Assessment Plan:
Pre-test, Post-test (quiz), Unit test, Exit tickets, Worksheet
Students will be given a pretest to see what prior knowledge they have of
the stock market. I will assess which parts of the lesson I should spend more
time on from this. (Students did not know much at all on the pretest, which is
a vocabulary test.) After a weeks time, the students are given the
vocabulary test again to see where they are with those terms, this time it
counted for a grade. (They should know them much better because we have
been going over them and they have had them all week.) During both weeks,
they have had exit tickets to assess where they are. Students showed
improvement throughout the class periods. The second week, students were
 Impact on Student Learning

introduced to some math with the stock market. Students were shown how to
do the math in class, then they were given a worksheet to work through in
class. I then had students work the problems out on the board so everyone
could see how to do the problems to prepare them for the unit test. We also
had an exit ticket problem for them to do so I could see what most students
still needed help on. At the end of the second week, students take the unit
test to assess their knowledge from instruction and their ability to perform
the word math problem on the test by applying the math skills they were
taught. They also had a review day the day before the test. Students also
addressed the English standard by writing a reflection on their stock portfolio
performance task. The pre-test, exit tickets, and the worksheet were informal
assessments. The post-test quiz and unit test were both formal, traditional
assessments. The academic prompt is the performance task. The students
chose their stocks from a list I gave them. After they finished the week of
keeping up with their stock prices, they did math with them and analyzed
them to see which other stocks did better and which stocks they would have
rather chosen.

Pre- and Post-Test:

Both of these consisted of a vocabulary quiz that related to these goals:
Match terms with their correct definition (DOK 1) and define terms associated
with the Stock Market (DOK 1). Based on the pre-test, I was able to assess
the knowledge students had of the terms associated with the stock market. If
they did not know any of the terms, they may have still known a little about
the stock market but not all that they needed to know. The students then got
vocabulary terms, and we went over them in class. I also addressed some of
the terms more in the lessons. The students were then given the same quiz
again to assess their knowledge of the terms. I used that to see where
students were and stressed the need to study those words for part of the unit
test. I will do more in the future to bring better examples out about the terms
so students will remember them better.

Performance Task:
Students will choose stocks they would invest in with no more than $10,000 and no less than
$9,000. They can choose up to four different stocks with as many shares of the stock as they see
fit and will follow their stocks for a week. At the end of the one week period, the students will
calculate and write a summary of how well their stocks did and how it would have affected
someone if they had truly invested in those stocks. Also, students will evaluate which stocks
would have been a better choice to invest in over the week.

This is data from class averages. Second period is an English class, so they

This is the data from the pre- and post-tests for fifth period. Most of them did
significantly better on the post-test, but some did not do as well as I had
hoped. This class period is a great example of the cross section of student
grades on this test through all the class periods, with some people doing
exceptionally well, while others struggled.
 Impact on Student Learning

There were certain words that seemed to be confusing to students. Some did
have similar definitions. This test would probably have gotten better results if
it was multiple choice instead of matching. Also, if I had been able to give
better examples at the time I was going over the terms, the information may
have stuck with students better.

Reflection:
The assessment was accurate for showing what students already knew of the
terms associated with the stock market. It was weak in assessing anything
else about prior knowledge of the stock market. I should have included a
space for them to write about what they knew already, even though we
discussed what they already knew in class. I should have also had more real
world examples during the lessons so students could relate more than they
did. Some students did great on the post-test, while others did not. I need to
reach everyone in the classroom with better examples. I will also strive to
have more student involvement in the future because most students learn
better through activities, though instruction in definitely needed in more than
just activities. The overall average of the classes shows that I need to relate
to them more.
