STEP Standard 1 - Contextual Factors: Knowing Your School and
Community

Part I: Community, District, School, and Classroom Factors


A. Geographic Location
South Charleston, Ohio population “1,879. The Median age is 34.2, the number of employees is
824 with a growth of 4.55%. The median property value is $97,800 that has a growth of 1.56%”
(DATA USA, (2015). Rural community, farming community. Middle to low income. Low
crime. Single family homes.
Southeastern Local School District is located in Clark County Ohio. The surrounding counties
are Champaign, Madison, Greene, Miami and Montgomery.
The surrounding school districts are Northeastern, Clark-Shawnee, Springfield City School
district, Springfield-Clark County schools (all which are also located in Clark county), and
Madison-Plains school district (in London county).

B. District Demographics
Southeastern Local School District has two schools, 1 primary Miami View Elementary, Southeastern
Junior and Senior High. This district is smaller than the typical district in Clark county, Ohio. Although,
this is the norm for the standard Ohio public school district.
The district is ranked 329th of 750 Ohio school districts. Since 2016 the ranking has increased fifty spots.
“There are 706 students in the district. The district performed better than 56.1% of other districts in Ohio.
24.8% of students in the district receive free lunches and 3.5% are receiving reduced lunches
“(Holfinger, (2018)”.

C. School Demographics
Miami View Elementary Total Students #405
Student/Teacher ratio 16.8
Miami View is ranked 772nd of 1,653 Ohio elementary schools.
27.7% Students receive free and 3.8% receive reduced lunches.

Southeastern Junior High Total Students #109


Student/Teacher ratio 12.1
0.0% Students receive free and 0.0% receive reduced lunches.
White 94.5%- 2or more races 2.8%- African American 1.8%

Southeastern Senior High Total Students #192


Student/Teacher ratio 12.8
White 95.3%- 2 or more races 2.6%- Asian 1.0%
39.6% Students receive free and reduced lunches.

STEP Standard 1 - Contextual Factors: Knowing Your School and
Community

Part II: Demographic, Environment, and Academic Factors


A. Student Demographic Factors
“Total of 405 students (2) .46% other, (2).46% Asian, (3) .68% Black, (1) .23% Hispanic,
(8) 1.83% Multi, (422) 96.35% White” (Holfinger, (2018). Pre-School through 6th grade.
That is 19.65% higher than the county average and 22.65% higher than the state average.
There are fewer students than other districts in the county. This is also much lower than that of
the average number of students enrolled in other Ohio public school districts.

B. Environmental Factors
The classroom is arranged so that the desks are in pods of four to six. The class sizes range from
13, 16, to 18 students of fourth grader English Language Arts. Students have access to
computers, dictionaries, and the library. Roughly three fourth of the parents are involved in the
students’ academics. Three of the IEP students’ parents are extremely involved.

that come up that change the way I teach within each class. I plan to write develop the assessments so
that it stays the same with no changes. However, with the development of the lessons you can always
make them so that they can easily be differentiated and modified if needed. Although, I do not at this
point see the characteristics above having an affect on the planning or assessment of my unit. The Gifted
students are pulled-out for intervention daily by a gifted teacher as well as the IEP students. The
Resource teacher joins in classroom to assist the IEP during lessons.

STEP Standard 2 - Writing Standards-Based Objectives and the


Learning Goal

Unit Topic: Prepositional Phrases

Unit Title: What’s in a Phrase

National or State Academic Content Standards


“CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L4.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English
grammar and usage when writing or speaking” (CCSS, 2018).
“CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L4.1. E. Form and use prepositional phrases” (CCSS, 2018).

Learning Goal
What a prepositional phrase is and what it is used for. Students will be able to read as well as
write sentences and identify the prepositional phrases within them.

Measurable Objectives
By the end of the unit each student will demonstrate a 20% increase from their baseline score in
the following areas;
 identify prepositional phrases in a written sentence.
 write a sentence using a prepositional phrase correctly.

STEP Standard 3 - Assessment and Data Literacy
Pre-Assessment - Copy and paste the pre-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’
knowledge of the topic prior to implementing the unit lessons. Include the scoring criteria used
to determine whether the student Exceeds, Meets, Approaches, or Falls Far Below the learning
goal and measurable objectives.
Name____________________________________ Date ______________________

Read the sentence. Underline the prepositional phrase.

1. Before I go to my friend’s house I need to go into the store

to buy groceries.

2. The chair in the corner is comfortable.

3. I dropped the groceries in the parking lot near my car.

4. I stopped by my friend’s house for a visit.

5. She had a “Welcome” sign along the road right before her

house.

6. When I pulled up to her house my car was covered with

mud.

7. Today I went for a kickboxing lesson.

8. At first it was had to be in a small class.

9. Then I realized I can stand near a friend.

10. Every day I then worked toward my goal.

Pre-Assessment Data: Whole Class - Once you have assessed your students’ knowledge on the topic,
collect and analyze the pre-assessment data to determine if you will need to modify the standards,
learning goal, or measurable objectives that will be addressed during instruction.

Meets #

Approaches 4

Falls Far Below 23


Pre-Assessment Analysis: Whole Class

I could increase the measurable goal to reflect a deeper understanding of the learning content.
Using this data, I am able to see where each students’ knowledge base begins. This gives me a Baseline
for my pre-assessment and post-assessment data. I can study this data to adjust the lessons with the unit
to what the students need to know and what they may also need to review. This data will help me
understand where to begin the unit.

Post-Assessment – Copy and paste the post-assessment you plan to use to assess the students’ knowledge
of the topic after implementing the unit lessons. The post-assessment can be the same as the pre-
assessment, a modified version, or something comparable that measures the same concepts. Include the
scoring criteria used to determine whether the student Exceeds, Meets, Approaches, or Falls Far Below the
learning goal and measurable objectives.

STEP Standard 5 - Implementation of Instructional Unit
Implement the unit you have designed including the pre-assessment, all lesson activities,
correlating formative assessments, and summative post-assessment. Choose one of the activities
to video record, review, and reflect on your teaching. Have your cooperating teacher/mentor
review the recording and provide feedback, if possible.

Video Recording Link: If you are turning your video in through OneDrive, just note it here.

https://youtu.be/6M7rjZl9Dmk
https://youtu.be/FdsdIrSL7qg
https://youtu.be/jN3Q2Ai8UO4

Summary of Unit Implementation:


What is not on the video is when I explain that I want the students to do a worksheet. The worksheet is
the assessment, I explain that this is not for a grade but for me to see how much they know about
prepositional phrases before I begin the lessons. I go over the directions telling the students they have
eight minutes to finish the worksheet. I had to make it clear that the grade was not going in the grade
book at this time although, later in the week we would be taking grades. I began the unit with a lesson
defining what prepositional phrases. What prepositional phrases begins with and what they end with.
The daily lessons began with a whole group discussion reviewing theses same concepts to link previous
knowledge to the new lesson. Incorporating a hands-on lesson at the beginning of the unit to help expand
and clarify the way students thought about prepositional phrases. Teaching the same lessons three times,
a day allowed me to improve the way that I taught it. providing new information with teacher input as a
whole group with learning always being an active process for all of the students. the students enjoyed the
whole group discussions at the beginning of each lesson. this seemed to be the biggest help in accessing
the student’s prior knowledge and helping students retain that knowledge. Providing daily practice
worksheets. Were provided to reinforce the concept in a hands-on way. They also provided me with a
way to assess students daily learning.
Summary of Student Learning:
By doing a daily review as a whole group I believe that this helped students see how their peers were
able to think about the material. This was a great opportunity for all the students to see a different
perspective. Providing daily practice worksheets were a way to reinforce the concept in a hands-on
way. They also provided students with extra increases engagement. This made the learning relevant to
the students. The students went from knowing basically nothing to knowing everything about
prepositional phrases. Seeing the progression of learning in the students especially in the students on
IEP’s was amazing. Those students were able to comprehend the material with minimal assistance from
myself or the intervention specialist.

Reflection of Video Recording:


As you can see from the video the lessons are short. However, even in that short amount of time the
students were able to comprehend a lot. My part of the lesson was short, it is what the students
accomplished after I was finished that matters. What you do not see in the video is the students writing

and working on the papers. They were given an additional five minutes to finish their papers before
turning them in. From the progression of videos my technique in teaching evolved and was better.

STEP Standard 6 - Analysis of Student Learning

Post-Test Data: Whole Class - Once you have assessed your students’ learning on the topic, collect and
analyze the post-test data to determine the effectiveness of your instruction and assessment.

Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup Selection

I chose this subgroup of students because it is the only subgroup that can give me enough data to
be comparable to the remainder of the class. Plus, I wanted to judge my teaching ability in the
special education area.

The students were able to comprehend the material beyond my expectations. They understand
what a prepositional phrase is and how to identify one in a sentence.

Even with lessons being taught as a whole group the students with IEP’s were able to understand
the concept of prepositional phrases. I was able to work individually with the students towards
the end of the lesson going over the definition and anchor chart. By giving the students added
support the students on IEP’s were able to comprehend the material. In making this connection
the students were taking their prior knowledge and building upon it, making them successful not
only in reaching the goal I had set for but in exceeding it as well.

Post-Assessment Analysis: Subgroup and Remainder of Class

When comparing the data from subgroup to the data from the remainder of the class they are
pretty much on equal ground. Both groups started out roughly at the same point. Upon analysis
of the data I discovered that both groups exceeded my goals.

© 2018. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Page 27 of 29
Based on the analysis of the data I would set their goals further for each student. Instead of an
increase of 20% I could make it something like 25%. It may not seem like much, but it is when
you put on paper it is. I would love to use this lesson as an introduction into poetry. Seeing that
poetry is basically a series of lines made up of prepositional phrases.

STEP Standard 7 – Reflecting on Instruction to Improve Student


Progress
Improved Practice Based on the Unit of Study
Based on the experience of developing and delivering your instructional unit, list three short-
term goals to improve specific areas of your teaching practice based on the unit of instruction
and describe your plan to reach each short-term goal.

Plan to Reach the Goal (i.e., professional


Short-Term Goal development, research on the Internet,
observation of a veteran teacher, etc.)
1. Brush up on my Pedagogy. Improving and expanding my knowledge
base on pedagogy by either learning new
theories or adding a new instructional
technique to my teaching arsenal will be a
major benefit to myself and my students.
To do this I will watch instructional videos at
http://www.cultofpedagogy.com
this will allow me to learn new Instruction
and assessment quickly in my own time.

2. Become more organized. This is all Not only with time management but also
about become more knowledgeable with lessons and projects. I have a need
about technology. to pull all my digital and paper files
together. I have several calendars that
need to be synced.
I will learn how to use Google Calendar
syncing it with my phone. also,
organizing all my files on Google drive
will allow me to be more time efficient.
This is done at
https://gsuite.google.com/learning-
center/products/#!/

3. Aligning Lessons with State Good lesson plans address the needs of all
Standards. students in a class, including those who need
differentiation. I will be consistently
checking back through the standards to make
sure that they verbiage of the standards is
correctly aligning with the lessons.
