Do Not:

• Do not use a lesson plan which you have already put into your ePortfolio – or one you plan on using for another Portfolio competency.

• It does not need to be a lesson which you have taught. You can modify a lesson plan you created (for another course) or create a new lesson plan.

• It does not need to be in a specific lesson plan format, as long as it meets the Competency 14 rubric requirements for acceptable (2) or target (3).

• Do not submit the competency to Cindi Fries, submit it to Lereen Neugin (she will forward it to an appropriate assessor).

• Do not look at the overall competency score and think it means you passed! After it is assessed look at the detailed VIEW to see the score for all 6 areas of the rubric.

DO:

• Do create your lesson plan by following the Oklahoma Criteria for Effective Teaching (see Pre-II Handbook).

• Do Submit Competency 14 to Lereen Neugin (not Cindi Fries) by, or before, the due date deadline.

• Do check your lesson plan against the Competency 14 rubric and use the current Artifact Cover Sheet format before submitting to ePortfolio http://coe.nsuok.edu/eportfolio/Resources.aspx

• Do check all 6 scores to see if you passed. When you receive the email that your competency has been assessed make sure to open ‘view’ in the MY RESULTS section in Chalk and Wire and look at each of the 6 scores your competency received. If you have a 1 (unacceptable) for one, or more, of the 6 scores you did not pass. You MUST revise and resubmit both the artifact cover sheet and the lesson plan ASAP (don’t wait for the deadline for the last date to resubmit).
