 * **Our AL Assessment**
 * Part 1 - Ethical/Social Justice/Identity aspects of AL - Given a description of students in a class, explain how you could incorporate and honor students' out-of-school lives, language, and experience while also building their AL proficiency. Brainstorm in content area groups on Tuesday (today) - take notes and share. Individual, written response will be part of the written assessment (part 3).
 * Part 2 - Application - given a vocab word and a text, be prepared to teach a 3-minute mini-lesson demonstrating your ability to use Marzano's vocab, sentence frame, or a think aloud with a mentor text - This will happen in class on THURSDAY, 2/18
 * Part 3 - Written assessment of professional knowledge - This will happen online in lieu of class on Tuesday, 2/23.
 * Define the AL terms (written on the ship image) and provide examples for each term from within your content area.
 * Complete the edTPA AL planning template for a lesson (either for a lesson you have seen or will teach in your field placement or a lesson provided) incorporating some of the high-leverage instructional strategies we've learned about.
 * **[|Lesson Observation Schedule]**
 * By February 19th, record the day you have scheduled to teach your first observed lesson. This will involve an academic language component. (If you are unable to get this on the calendar by Feb 19, you need to email me with an explanation.)
