This data includes correlating my test with the number of Strands that I have taught for a particular scientific concept. This data comes from my 10th grade Applied Biology with Chemistry I classes. The objectives are easier to tract than in my other class. The first test of the semester should have covered four of the Strands. I actually tested on one of the four Strands.
More data comes from test number two of the semester.
I should have tested on five of the Strands. I actually tested on three of the five strands. I see that I am already making some improvements in my teaching methods. In reflection on changing my mode of instruction to address the Strands, I see that I am not teaching the Georgia Strands as they should be taught to facilitate student understanding so that they can pass the Georgia High School Graduation Science Test. In my opinion, I am barely getting by doing what I'm supposed to do.
