1 1. Description of Assessment and Its Use in Program Key ISMM Assessment #3 Ability to Plan Instruction Intervention Specialist: Mild/Moderate (ISMM): EDUC 418, 465, and 466 Initial Teacher Preparation Program / Baccalaureate Level Educator Preparation Provider Muskingum University Key ISMM Assessment #3: Ability to Plan Instruction is an assignment that serves as an assessment of a candidate s ability to plan instruction. The candidate is charged with writing multiple-day individualized lessons for at least two students with identified disabilities for use during student teaching. The plan is n included as a component of Professional Portfolio that is required for Professional Practices course (EDUC 418/465/466). The Portfolio is submitted at conclusion of student teaching. A faculty member or practitioner whose certification/licensure and teaching experience are in special education is n responsible for assessing assignment. This key assessment is precursor to Key ISMM Assessment #5: Effect on Student Learning with data from Key ISMM Assessment #3 being used to complete Key ISMM Assessment #5. To exit licensure program, a candidate must complete Key ISMM Assessments #3 - #8 (Ability to Plan Instruction, Assessment of Student Teaching Performance, Effect on Student Learning, Individual Learning and Postsecondary Transition Plan, Communication and Collaboration Project, and Behavioral Support Plan) with at least 80% of standard elements of Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Initial Level Special Educator Preparation Standards evaluated across six assessments rated at meets standard element and no standard element rated unacceptable. 2.

Assessment Instrument Guidelines for Ability to Plan Instruction Assignment As you complete following, refer to Scoring Guide for Key ISMM Assessment #3 in Section 4 below to ensure that you carefully and completely address articulated for rating of meets standard element (2). Purpose of Assignment The purpose of Ability to Plan Instruction assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge, understanding, and ability to put into practice each of CEC Initial Level Special Educator Preparation Standard elements and specialty set elements articulated in Section 2 above. Assignment Tasks Task 1: Select at least two (2) students who vary in knowledge, skills, and abilities, each with an identified disability, to teach multiple-day individualized lessons (four days for instruction and one day for administration of a summative post-assessment), one set for each student, focused on appropriate and relevant learning targets in content areas of English Language Arts, Mamatics, Science, and/or Social Studies. Task 2: Identify learning targets for each set of multiple-day individualized lessons using Ohio s New Learning Standards ( Task 3: Develop and attach formative pre-assessments, aligned with selected learning targets (see Task 2 above), to be used as basis for writing designated lesson plans. The pre-assessments are to include observation and documentation of learning targets (5.6: ISCI 5 S11), use of assistive technology (5.3: ISCI 5 S7), and allow for identification of error patterns (5.6: IGC 5 S12). Task 4: Administer pre-assessments (4.1: ISCI 4 S2) to respective students. Task 5: Analyze pre-assessment data of each student, beginning with electronically charting, according to learning targets, achievement levels of each. After charting data, write a narrative that interprets your findings and that describes how what you learned from pre-assessment data will be used to write plans for each set of multiple-day lessons and for developing formative and post-assessment tools (4.1: ISCI 4 S4). Page 3 of 12

4 Task 6: Write five (5) inter-related lesson plans for each of students selected. Each set of plans is to address one or more of learning targets identified (see Task 2 above).
