Aloha Teri,

The submitted portfolios for PD180234 | The 21st Century Classroom Level 2 | 287264 | HSTA Fall 2017 -- The 21st Century Classroom Level 2 (Online) | Sep 30, 2017 - Dec 21, 2017, have been reviewed based on your current LRP requirements and your approved course write-up.

Please see feedback below.

Feedback to the instructor for future use:

• It is unclear what standards students are being assessed on? Although KD's portfolio listed standards, the assessment and the analysis was not based on the standards listed.
• Please ensure all links are live. The majority of the student work links were not live in KDs portfolio.
• Final Course Reflection: "Please specifically describe how this course has impacted your teaching and student learning." Although, the participant mentioned students, the reflection doe not address the impact on student learning. For this, a description of how student performance (learning) changed because of the new content and new instructional practices that the participant applied.

Specific feedback:

• Kelly Duell: Approved. For lesson #1 and lesson #2, it appears that this prompt is not fully addressed in the student analysis. I'm not going to ask that she revise this but in the future, you might consider asking participants to address it if it's part of your expectation.

• Please explain the following and be sure to answer all parts of the questions:

  Analyze the student learning that took place as a result of the strategies (academic and tech integration) that were used. Discuss your analysis for each student sample that you shared for this lesson. What impact did using the strategies from this course have on you your students learning??
• Here's an example: "This student gave up on figuring out one of the jumbled words and although could create an appropriate password, were unable to analyze whether a given password was strong or not."

• Rachel Armstrong - Approved. Her portfolio was very strong and reflective. Please ask Rachel if I can use her portfolio as a sample.  It would have been stronger evidence of student impact if she collected some student work for the lessons that teacher's implemented.  

Please let me know if she will allow us to use her portfolio as a sample.

Credits will be issued for all participants who have completed the course.  T

Thank you,

Kristin
