Target Student Identification and Context Information
A large part of this course is developing and conducting actual curriculum-based assessments. To that end, you need to identify a student with whom you can work.
The student should be experiencing learning needs in two curricula areas: reading and math.
Ideally, you will need to select a student who is addressing typical reading and math skills, but who may be one or two grade levels below where he/she should be (for example, a student participating in the RTI/Response to Intervention may be a great candidate for this class assessments). Ideally, you need a student to be at least at third grade because that student needs to be one or two grades below his or her current grade level for the purpose of our class assessments (math and reading skills).

Alternatively, a student(s) with IEP (a special needs student) may be selected, however, make sure that such student has already mastered some basic reading and math skills and that his or her delays in reading and math skills are not too severe.
Since you will be working closely with the student and will be conducting assessments over a period of time, please be sure to select a student who has a good attendance record. However, I would strongly advise that you select another student (as a back-up student) for conducting all the class assessments just in case if you may have any issues with working with your first target student. You will need to obtain a separate parental permission in writing for this student as well.
Your selected target student (s) needs to be approved by the professor. For that purpose, you need to submit Target Student (s) Identification and Context Information to the Assignment Box. That is, write a detailed description of each of your potential target student(s). In your description, describe specific learning needs of your potential target student(s) in two curricula areas: reading and math and provide detailed justification why you think the selected student (s) meets the identified by the professor characteristics. In addition, using provided by the edTPA template, Special Education Context for Learning Information, describe thoroughly background knowledge and context information of your potential target student(s). Finally, provide citations for the sources of all materials that you used to generate information about your potential target student(s) (e.g., materials form other educators, published texts, websites). List all your citations using APA style at the end of your submission. Please review the scoring checklist to guide your description of the Target Student (s) Identification and Context Information.
As soon as you have obtained the professor's approval of a student (s) to assess, you need to obtain parental permission in writing (no later than February 15, 2022). Download the permission form I have provided - you will turn in this form with your first Decoding Skills assessment, so be sure to make a copy and keep it in a safe place.
