Literacy Instruction Portfolio

Create a literacy instruction portfolio or wiki. This wiki will serve as a “living” resource manual for you to reference and use in your current or future classroom. As time passes, the materials you incorporate in this assignment can be updated, and additional materials and information can be added to keep the portfolio or wiki current and relevant.

Note: Create a free wiki account using an online resource like WikiHub. Be sure to make your account public so your instructor can view it.
OR
Note: Create an electronic portfolio by opening a new folder on your desktop and following the instructions provided.

Complete Parts 1–6 below. Each part will be a separate page in your portfolio or wiki. When completed, submit the link for your wiki to the Assignment Files tab or zip the portfolio and submit to the Assignment Files tab.

Research and incorporate four technology web tools you can use in your classroom to enhance reading and writing instruction. These tools should be websites and not hardware (smartboard, laptops, etc). Include a brief description for each web tool, and how you would use the web tool for instruction. Be sure to cite the web link for each web tool for future reference.

Part 6: Reflection

Write a 300- to 500-word reflection that highlights the new ideas, strategies, and methods from this course that you might consider implementing into your own teaching environment. Provide a rationale as to why these elements may fit into your current instruction. Note: This is a reflection separate from the reflection you create for the reading-writing connection lesson plan.

Tesl602-REPLIES-Discussion Thread: Needs Assessment

Discussion Two

Needs Analysis Process
1. Determine what kind of information is important to know and why
2. Decide how and when to gather the information
3. Interpretation of information
4. Make decisions based on the information
(Graves, 2000, p. 100)

Needs assessment is a way of finding out what the learner needs and wants out of a course, what level a learner is at in their language proficiency, a type of dialogue between all parties and it is a way to reconcile differing views (Graves, 2000, p. 100).

One explanation that sticks out the most to me from our reading is that needs analysis and assessment can and should be a dialogue between people such as “the teacher and administrators, parents, other teachers; between the teacher and learners; among the learners” (Graves, 2000, p. 98). If this approach is used, then the types of data that can be gathered are numerous.

Students preferences and wants can be ascertained through data collection such as level of comfort in the classroom and what topics students are interested in (Graves, 2000, p. 103).

Another important result from needs assessment is learning what the student’s desired goals are (Graves, 2000, p. 101).

A diverse classroom can make the assessment more difficult and result in an extremely wide range of wants and interests, which cannot be realistically met by one teacher and in the short time frame most courses provide.

This is reiterated by Graves (2000) when she states, “even when needs assessment only involves the teacher and the learners it is still a complex undertaking because different learners within the same class usually have somewhat different needs” (p. 100). Needs assessment is another important part of designing a course which determines what direction should be taken in curriculum, goals, and most aspects.
