Don't we find it a bit egregious to cite the particular TEK for each instance? I would imagine the prompt would be for a student EC-3 grade (more than likely). No way can I retain all of the ELAR TEKS for those grade levels. I'll be lucky if I use the appropriate terminology.
I agree. I'm teaching grades 4-8 and need to know the standards of teaching reading for grades pre-k through 6. I won't even be teaching half of those grades, and most of my students should be fluent by grade 4 anyways. It's definitely too much for any teacher.
@@kyleolsen2309 well Kylie, I have some answers. Through Sept 21 its a preliminary so the scoring is interesting. The essay is either considered complete or incomplete. I'm not quite certain of the scoring for the 90 Questions but looks like they only scored 77 of those. Hope this helps. (Yes I passed :) )
@@whitneychapman1503 That's what I saw. I kind of assumed anyone can pass (still waiting on my results), but it seems a bit too difficult for a teacher imo. It's like taking a test to become a reading specialist.
I'm gonna take mine in 2 days and honestly it's just so unnecessary. I already passed my PPR and got only this and my content exam but this is just... I don't know, not necessary? I'm just gonna teach 4-8 ELAR and this just feels too extra.
@@amimiriam1238 I would agree. I think learning the information is necessary for ELAR, but I wouldn't go as far as saying there should be an exam for it. They should just incorporate some elements of it into the content exam instead.
Why are you including a strength if it’s only asking for one struggle/need for fundamental and comprehension and one strategy for each need? No where on the rubric does it mention to state a strength of a student has. You’re just making this more complicated and more wordy than it needs to be, lady.
You ALWAYS start with a student's strengths, no matter the setting. if you're taking this test, if you're talking to a parent. You always want to show that you see the student at his/her best and not just what they need to do better at. Show you see the good, not just the bad. Just as you would have someone do for you. That's just common sense.
@@lisajimerson4568 If it was a case of ALWAYS, it would BE ON THE RUBRIC. This lady's "outline" for the CRQ portion of the test is a hot mess. Sorry to be mean, but this is truly awful stuff. Its like she is making up her own rubric. You should never include information in your response that is not explicitly requested by the exam rubric. That's just common sense.
