Elementary Education

My major at WKU is Elementary Education.  If you don't know anything about the education program at this school one thing to note is that it is a large amount of work and some things within that are not very exciting.  A few of these assignments that are long and tedious are the Teacher Work Samples and the KTIPs. 

As an extra credit assignment our class could design a fun way to display the Teacher Work Sample and KTIP assignments to share with the class.  What would be better than to create a cake as an extra credit assignment?!

The final extra credit recipe was as follows:

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon of contextual factors

6 Sprinkles of Student Characteristics

2 drops of Learning Goals

10 teaspoons of assessment

2 Handfuls of standards addressed

3 KTIP garnish

1. In a large document add in contextual factors and student characteristics.  Stir together with general school information. 
2. Add in 2 drops of learning goals and 10 teaspoons of assessment.  Mix with 2 handfuls of standards addressed.
3. Add in a squirt of Blooms taxonomy and give 5 giant stirs of design instruction.
4. Bake for 2 instructional strategies.
5. When finished add a garnish of three KTIPS.
