Learning Stages

Adaption Stage: applies a previously learned skill in a new area of application without direct instruction or guidance witho direct instruction or guidance
Data Collection

graphing data: creating a visual display so that raw data can be analyzed Ex: a chart with the records of math facts figured correctly or incorrectly over time
== long-range goal performance monitoring: shows the progress toward a long term goal Ex: on a chart it can show baseline and goal line then will keep track of the student’s performance and where they are compared to the goal == == short-range goal performance monitoring: used to monitor progress on successive short-term goals Ex: the student will be able to recite 3 math facts at the end of the week, then it will change to another short-term goal once those are figured at the end of the week ==

data analysis: provide the student and teacher with a framework to analyze data and evaluate progress Ex: out of 100 questions you got 80 correct, which is 80%
== instructional decisions: using what the student knows, the ability to set goals for mastery  Ex: using learner characteristics, such as age, grade level and achievement level to design an assignment  ==

Types of Grading Alternatives
 * Individualized educational program grading approach: grades on basis of student’s progress on goals stated on the student’s IEP**
 * Pass/fail systems: criteria is established for a passing and a failing grade**

Descriptive grading: teachers write descriptive comments regarding the students performance, attitude, effort, and learning preferences like a portfolio
