Practicing is the key to developing the skills of understanding. As you read this section think about what type of assignments you give students that are geared to practicing a particular skill or content learned. Do your practice assignments align to your goal for the lesson? Are they initial, distributed or cumulative? (Pgs 203-205). Use Application 8.1 and Application 8.2 to guide you through the process of meaningful independent practice for students. • Look at the lesson you chose in Chapter 1 assignment. How will you have students practice the skill or content? Describe how it addresses the learning goal. Give an overview of the lesson and then give details about how you will have your students practice. Identify if it is an initial, distributed or cumulative practice.

Final Task Final Assignment Student Outcome (Impact) Data Final Assignment Directions The final assignment requires choosing a behavior to increase; collecting data before starting the course (pre-test); collecting data after implementing chosen strategies in this course, and implementing the data into a FDLRS Administration database. • Choose a one of the explicit instruction practices presented in this book study that you want to use to increase student achievement. • Prior to using the explicit instruction practice administer a formal pre-assessment to your students that will yield a numerical score. Design your assessment so you will be able to report both the pre-assessment and summative assessment information using the directions and link below: Student Impact Data/Student Outcome Report. • Implement explicit instruction practice. • After explicit instruction practice has been I implanted consistently over a period of time, give a summative assessment (post-test). The summative assessment (post-test) should closely align with what you gave as a pre-assessment. It should measure exactly the same student learning goals(s) or skill(s). • Report pre-assessment scores and summative assessment scores using the directions and link below: Student Impact Data/Student Outcome Report.
