    STUDENT TEACHING EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE (STEP)


    STANDARD 1, PART I

    Student Teaching Evaluation of Performance (STEP) is the process for preparing and implementing a unit of instruction.

    By understanding the community and school environment and the makeup of the classroom, you will be able to strategically meet the overall needs of your
    students. In the first two weeks of student teaching, you should focus on learning about the students you will be working with. You are expected to teach the
    unit you are preparing by the end of week 8.

    Review the geographic, district, and school demographics of your student teaching classroom. Utilize the district or school website, your cooperating
    teacher/mentor, or school administrator for this information. You may also use your state Department of Education website for statistical data on community
    and school demographics.

    Complete STEP Standard, 1 Part I that includes:

    A. Geographic Location
    B. District Demographics

    My participating school is set in a rural city, Casa Grande, Arizona, population 53,657 (Casagrande.gov). It is defined as a public school. There is a medium level of community
    support. The schools have received grants for solar power and most recently received grants to redo the front offices at all of the public elementary schools. This included using
    bullet proof glass and closing in the entrances of all schools. In order to get into the school, one of the school staff must press a button to open a door. All other access doors and
    gates remain locked at all times. Teachers and staff have access keys and gate keys. The median family salary for Casa Grande is $48,385 (Casagrande.gov).

    The schools are in the medium community support level. There have been some movements in the right direction, such as the revamped security features and solar panel
    systems but more could be done. Many of the schools still struggle to provide teachers with everything they need. Playgrounds need shade structures, students need
    workbooks, teachers have a limit on how many copies they can make a year, the schools just barely received ink for printers and they are 4 weeks into the school year. Many of
    the title 1 schools don't receive an optimal level of parent support. The teachers provide many things for the classroom and students that aren't provided elsewhere.

    I will need to take into account how many paper and resources my lessons will require. Since the median family income is in the middle class range, I can't expect students to
    complete any homework online, or rely on technological devices to be available for all students at home. From my own experiences, I have seen the lack of parent involvement
    in many instances, so I also need to take into consideration that students may be completing their homework on their own accord and not receiving any academic support at
    home. Homework should be differentiated to ensure that all students can complete it, without additional help.

     Describe the district demographic data, including statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it, for your cooperating school
    district.
    According to the Casa Grande Elementary School District's website, the district is home to some 6,500 students. The district serves grade levels PK-8; 1 pre-k, 9 elementary and 3
    middle schools. The average percentage of district students who qualify for free or reduced lunch for 2019, is 76%.

     Cite the references used for this information.
    Many students may not have technological devices at home so it is important that they do get to them during the school day. I will need to ensure that many of my lessons are
    integrating digital media devise. All benchmark testing for the district is now 100% online, so it is crucial that students are competently familiar with how to use and navigate a
    computer and online school curriculum. A way to get the students used to test taking on the computer, would be for them to take unit assessments etc. online.

     Cite the references used for this information.
    Mesquite Elementary is defined as a Title 1 school. The percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch is 94%. This is the deciding factor for designating the school
    as Title 1. I will need to keep that as a constant forethought with all of my lesson and implementation plans. The school did receive a "C" grade for 2018, which is up from a "D,"
    which they received in 2017. The school is aiming to keep the C or better. I can use this information as an inference, as to how much weight is given to state tests. This means
    many things that I teach will have to be focused on what the students will be tested for on the AZ Merit and other important benchmark tests.
