The white paper that you have developed on your selected Kindergartner assessment topic is now ready for you to present to the locally elected board of the Dekalb County school district in Georgia. Create a presentation using Prezi or similar software in order to present your research to the task force. The information within your presentation will assist the task force in developing a district-wide professional development plan geared toward improving the overall test scores of the Dekalb County schools within the district.
Present your findings in 10 slides using Prezi, PowerPoint, or a presentation software of your choice.
Include a title slide and references section (These two slides are not part of the ten slide requirement.)
Develop a coherent, organized presentation using your chosen tool for a professional audience, using clean design, readable text, and visuals that support the information presented.
Provide audio narration of the presentation slides as if you were delivering the speech. (Note: If you do not have access to a microphone, provide detailed speaker notes with your presentation.)
Overview and recommendation section (first five slides) in which you:
Provide an overview of the white paper. The overview should include, at a minimum, background on your topic and its relevance to the Kindergartner assessment and the demographics of the Dekalb County district.
Discuss the significant recommendations that you have made within the white paper regarding changes to the district’s current assessment goals.
Provide three methods by which the task force might use the white paper in order to develop a district-wide professional development plan geared toward improving the overall test scores of the Dekalb County district.
Personal reflection section (last five slides) in which you provide:
What you have learned from developing the white paper as well as what you have learned during this course.
Your personal reflection on the new technologies that you researched in the Assessment Project – Part 2 and the manner in which such technologies have changed your views on how to approach assessment in the classroom.
The manner in which you would implement the recommendations made in Assessment Project – Part 2 within your own Dekalb County school district.
Provide specific examples of the changes that you have already made or would like to make.
