Assignment Title Assignment Description
Initial Programs
PAAID: Program Candidates analyze classroom data and develop a
Assessment
classroom intervention that addresses the areas of need
Analysis and
based on assessment analysis (STAR test results, district
Intervention
mandated assessments, informal classroom assessments,
Development
and CELDT scores). Candidates implement the
intervention, assess student progress, and provide a
comprehensive narrative evaluating the intervention and
recommendation.
Transitional
Candidates assess student needs and implement an
Lesson Plans
instructional program to meet behavioral objectives of a
student with disabilities. Candidates teach, videotape their
instruction and engage in reflection. They monitor student
progress toward objectives by collecting data and, based on
the data, they modify instructional approaches.
Math Lesson
Based on student learning needs, candidates design a lesson
Study
that teaches procedural and conceptual knowledge of
mathematics to elementary students. Candidates teach the
lesson, videotape instruction and engage in reflection. They
collect student work and monitor student learning.
Literacy Case
Study
Across initial Multiple and Single subject credential
programs, candidates participate in one or more literacy
case studies, in which they assess the strengths and needs
of an English learner or struggling student and choose
evidence-based interventions to promote literacy

Based on their understanding of students, candidates create
a series of lesson plans, teach students, video tape
instruction, collect work samples, analyze them, and
engage in written reflection about student learning and
their teaching practice.
Advanced Programs
Test Construction Candidates systematically construct and administer a test.
Project
After administering the test, they analyze data and discuss
implications for student learning.
Action Research
The AR project is designed to provide an opportunity for
Project
you to look closely at a question related specifically to your
current position in education. Including question
development, data collection, conclusions and reflections.
Use data to inform educational decision making for both
teachers and administrators.
Project: Adequacy
Right Now
At their school sites, candidates conduct an analysis of the
instructional expenditures for a small sample of students
that is not achieving to standards. Candidates then meet
with relevant personnel and seek their insights on the core
barriers to overcome so that instructional programs can
help these students perform to standards. Finally,
candidates proposed revised student instructional schedules
and write a narrative of how they will reshape categorical
programs to support the changes/interventions.

Unit Assessment
Design and
Evaluation
Candidates create a unit exam which must be developed
from at least five individual lessons plans or a unit lesson
plan in agricultural contexts which include at least two
formative assessments. Candidates prepare a report
evaluating the data collected through the unit exam. They
identify how the information will be used to modify
instructional objectives, inform practice, evaluate course
objectives, and provide feedback to their agricultural
education program.
