What is TaskStream?

TaskStream offers the College of Education a stable
and powerful set of tools to support collection and
analysis of student outcomes in all of our programs.

It also offers students a personalized space to submit
assignments and to use their best work for building an
online portfolio.
What is TaskStream? (cont.)

TaskStream is used to evaluate student outcome as part of
accreditation.

TaskStream is used to assist students in the collection, preservation,
organization, evaluation, and dissemination of activities,
assignments, evidences and reflections that are associated with
competencies and standards throughout their teacher education
program.

It is needed in order to receive program approval from the FDOE
for its teacher preparation program and accreditation from The
National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
and the Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Faculty Instructions

Step-by-Step instructions and Resource Documents for
Faculty/Adjuncts can be found:
Faculty Instruction Pages
Turnitin Feature

Author work submitted to TaskStream can be sent to Turnitin (an external vendor) for
originality reporting (a.k.a., ‘plagiarism detection’).

All submitted student work has a Turnitin Originality Report generated for
attachments, text areas, and forms.
Turnitin Feature, continued

Turnitin has a disclaimer that Originality Reports can take
up to 24 hours to generate. However, Turnitin is usually
able to process the files much faster than that, usually within
a few minutes after Author submission.

Originality Reports can only be generated for work
submitted AFTER the feature is enabled.

Evaluators can view the Originality Reports after the work
has been submitted by the Author.

There are 3 view options available for Authors.
Accessing Originality Reports

To view Originality Reports:
1.
Click into the DRF Program.
2.
In the Search for Individual to Evaluate or Search for Multiple People,
click Continue.
3.
Locate an Author and from the work area, click View Edit.
4.
Click the Originality Report tab. The button is available once a
valid report has been generated.
5.
The Originality Report page loads.

3- Full Report: Allows
faculty to get a complete
report of the sources that
the student copied. It
allows for quotes and
References to be omitted
from Originality Score. It
is also Printable.

QuickScore™ Feature

TaskStream has launched a new feature, called QuickScore™, for
streamlining the scoring process that enables Evaluators to score
a number of Authors from one interface.

With this enhancement, Evaluators can now skip Authors in the
list during a given scoring session. Evaluators will not see the
skipped Authors’ names until the next time the Evaluator logs in.

Input



This is the student’s ability to receive your
message.
Letters and words might get mixed up,
reading might be slow, spelling and math
calculation can be very difficult.
With an auditory processing problem,
sometimes what you say is not what is heard.
You need to make sure your message is
getting in.
Short Term and Working Memory


Short term: Lasts only for few minutes.
Student with a disorder that affects short term
memory will get the message, but will lose it
soon afterwards and will need to hear it again.
Working memory is a longer period of time
when a student is processing the information
and trying to understand what the tutor or
Instructor is saying.
Long term memory, storage, and
retrieval




With long term memory a student is able to retain the
information until needed.
Long term storage is where the student files the
information
Retrieval is the method the student uses to retrieve
the memory during the test.
STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL ARE THE POINTS
WHEN STRATEGIES BECOME VERY
IMPORTANT TO THE STUDENT
Retrieval – It’s like finding the right string
to grab onto! Get hold of the string, pull,
and the rest will follow!!!

later when reviewing their notes, especially things
like vocabulary words and meanings.
Have the student repeat information back to you.
Tactile/kinesthetic




Have the student do the work at a white
board, chalkboard, or paper chart.

interpreters and sign language.
Always speak directly to the student, not to the
interpreter.
Question the student often to make sure that the
information you think is going in is, in fact, truly the
same information.
Speak clearly and repeat as necessary.
Emotional, psychological, ADHD, etc.

Use concrete and descriptive language and narrow down
options or scope of projects whenever possible.
Set boundaries and class rules
Asperger’s vs. Autism



ASD is one of the five developmental disabilities
known as pervasive development Disorder (PDD)
Aspergers’s Syndrome, Pervasive Development
disorder, Not otherwise Specified (Pdd-NOS),
Autism, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD),
and Rett’s Disorder.
The number of persons with ASD has been growing
in the past decade, and current estimates suggest
that as many as one child in every 150 born today
will be diagnosed with ASD.
Guidelines for working with ASD
students





Physically or medically impaired




Student may get easily tired, so watch for signs of
fatigue.
Students may have pain that causes them to lose
concentration. You may need to provide a better
seating arrangement.
Medication may be slowing down processing, so be
patient and make sure student can give you back the
information completely.
Do not touch wheelchairs while speaking to the
student. You are invading their personal space.
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

Make eye contact
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

use; some students may be very
tactile learners.
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

Give the student a closer look at the material
you just explained.
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

Break down the steps
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

Give the student enough time to process
When tutoring remember the following
procedures:

Ask questions to the student

Etiquette Tips

General
–
–
–

Wheelchair
–
–
–

Put the person first. Say “person with a disability” rather than a “disabled person.”
Avoid outdated terms like “handicapped” or “crippled.”
Do not assume someone with a disability needs help. The best thing to do is to ask if
he/she needs assistance.
Do not lean or rest on someone's wheelchair. It is considered personal space.
If the service counter is too high for a wheelchair user to see over, step around the
counter to provide service.
Have a clipboard handy if filling out forms is necessary
Service Animals
–
–
–
Do not feed, pet, or speak to the animal. This dog is working and does not need to be
distracted.
If the person has a guide dog, walk on the side opposite the dog.
Warn the person of any impending obstacles if the person is visually impaired.
Etiquette Tips

Blind/Visually Impaired
–
–
–

Identify yourself and your title before you begin your conversation.
Do not grab the person’s arm. Offer your arm or elbow to guide the
individual.
Make sure the person is left in a comfortable spot when you need to
leave - not in the middle of a large room but along the wall or near a door.
Deaf/Hearing Impaired
–
–
–
When speaking with the student who has an interpreter (sign language),
make eye contact with the student not the interpreter.
Speak clearly but in a normal tone in case the person is reading your lips.
If communicating in writing, keep the message as uncomplicated as
possible.
Etiquette Tips

Seizure
–
–
–
–
Clear obstacles that may cause bodily harm.
If you feel someone’s life is in immediate danger due to any
seizure or other health-related problem, use your own
judgment and call 911.
Be aware the certain lights (strobe lights) or high pitched
alarm sounds can trigger seizures in some people.
Provide a referral to DRC so that the person gets proper
accommodations as needed.
THANK YOU
It is what we think we already know that prevents us
from learning.
