Benchmark – Literacy Work Sample Presentation


Assessment Description

Data decision-making is a detailed process that requires teachers to observe and analyze student learning over time. Showcasing how you work with others to provide literacy intervention support to students is important when demonstrating your skills as a reading/literacy specialist.

Create a 12-15 slide digital presentation to showcase each section of your Literacy Work Sample. The presentation should be designed to present to your mentor and the administration explaining the intervention process, progress, and next steps for each student.

The presentation should address the following:

  • Each section of the Literacy Work Sample to illustrate the intervention and assessment process, as well as progress made by each student and next steps for each student.
  • Effective collaboration strategies that occurred with the mentor during decision-making to design and align instructional practices and interventions within and across classrooms.
  • Effective collaboration strategies that occurred with the mentor during decision-making to assess and align instructional practices and interventions within and across classrooms.
  • Effective collaboration strategies that occurred with the mentor to develop, implement, and evaluate literacy instructional practices and curriculum.
  • How instructional approaches and practices were differentiated to meet the diverse literacy needs of each student.
  • The process you used to reflect on your personal practice as a reading/literacy specialist in light of current research, policy, and practice.
  • Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly resources.
