 General Audience
The audience is composed of 20 teachers ages 25-55 with 3 males and 17 female and 2 certified staff one
female and 1 male who vary in being technically capable and technically handicapped. These teachers are
responsible for giving instruction to students who are economically disadvantaged, ESOL ( english as a
second language) and with learning disabilities.
Problem Identification
Cook County has decided to incorporate a new program to help try and close the gaps in students
learning. The program is completely web-based and relies on the teacher to monitor progress and assign
appropriate lessons for students. Classworks is the chosen program and the teacher receives messages if a
student fails an assignment or does poorly on an assignment. A screener is given and then from there
students who scored below the target are placed in remediation classes. Teachers were given very little
training with the program and have had to figure out the program by trial and error. This program is used
three times a year in the Fall, Winter and Spring as a screener to identify at risk students in Math and
Language Arts. The students who are at risk are assigned a connection class of either Math or Language
Arts to help close any learning gaps. Students are in these classes Monday thru Wednesday for a 45
minute class. Teachers have to monitor students assignments. If students pass the assignment then the ILP
is reassigned to show mastery. If a student does not show mastery then more assignments are given.
Teachers have to create weekly reports to show student progress. . Teachers must create a spreadsheet to
show where students fall whether the 75%, 50% or 25% on each team. Teachers can also find articles that
are on different lexiles so that students can read at their own comfort levels. There are also articles to tie
in cross curriculum ideas.The program can also be used in a classroom whole group lesson to introduce or
review a topic of choice. Georgia Standards are listed and teachers can chose assignments by the standard
or by the lesson. Since I am one of the department heads, I have been approached about how frustrating it
is to not be able to use this program to it full potential. A trainer has given several classes but has not
solved the problems.
Instructional Goals
The teachers will be able to set up classes and monitor progress
The teacher will be able to run reports on students screener and identify at risk students
The teacher will be able to reassign skill snapshots to show mastery of a concept
The teacher will be able to reassign ILPs to prove mastery of a content area
The teacher will be able to look up and assign articles based on students lexile levels

KA Part 2
Introduction
The targeted groups of learners are middle teachers that teach 6-8 grade at Cook Middle
School in Adel, Georgia. The teachers range for ages 25-55 with the common ages being
between 30-35. There are 3 males and 17 females in the group and their years of teaching
experience range from 4 to 20 years with the average being 10-12 years of experience. The
group is comprised of 20 teachers with 2 being African American, 4 Multi-Ethnic, and 14
Caucasians. 6 being Special Education teachers, 2 Assistant Principals and 12 being Regular
Education teachers. The teachers degree levels range from bachelor to masters with the 2
administrators having doctoral degrees. 15% of the teachers in this group incorporate Class-
works into their classrooms 3 days a week, 75% incorporate Class-works every two months for
a basic screener, 10% do not use Class-works at all. Teacher surveys, observations, and county
documents were used to gain information for the learner analysis.
 Entry Skills:
The majority of teachers that compose the targeted audience can perform the following skills:
Share documents using email attachments.
Use email or remind to communicate with students, and parents.
Navigate and update the Powerschool website to access student information,
academics, and behavior records.
Use email to communicate with teachers, administration and other personal
Navigate and work within the TEKS website.
Operate and utilize smart board technology

Prior Knowledge:
The learners work with students between the ages of 11-15 in a school setting. The
majority of the students using Class-works frequently are identified as ESOL students or
students with disabilities. The whole school is tested on Class-works 3 times a year which
included all types of learners and learning styles. Teachers are divided with half teaching Math
and the other half teaching Language Arts. The Special education teachers co-teach in one or
the other areas. There are 6 teachers from each grade that meet as a grade level. The common
mistakes or errors made are in applying the skills in Class-works to individual teachers
classrooms.
Common mistakes or errors made by teachers:
There is no collaborate with other grade level teachers.
There is no teacher with infinite knowledge of the program
Class-works is used more by teachers with extended day classes
There is no common planning time for teachers from all grade levels to share ideas or
suggestions
There are different opinions about how a concept should be taught.
All the standards are not covered in the program
Limited knowledge of how to use all the strategies embedded in the program.

Potential Misconception
Using only Class-works will boost students desire to learn by increasing interest in the concepts
presented.
The idea that this program will replace the teachers.
Class-works replaces having to teach and take grades other than the ones received on the
program.
Students will not stay focused or on task because the program is computer based.

Attitudes Towards Content and Academic Motivation:

The teachers within the group understand that having a diverse program such as Class-works
that does scaffolding within the program, and assigns lessons based on students areas of need
is important to help students understand grade level material. Collaboration is important
amongst teacher in order to use the program to its fullest potential. However, with each grade
level having different planning times then collaboration between grades and subjects is difficult
to do. Teachers attend a professional developing class on how to use Class-works but were not
shown how to run reports to show student progress, or what level students were working on.
The instructor also told teachers that the program gave a screener and then from the screener
created mini-lesson for areas of concentration to narrow in on what the student struggles with.
However, teachers were not shown how to check student progress or reassign activities if the
student did poorly on an assignment. This has caused frustration with the teachers and made
them shy away from using this helpful tool. Out of the 20 learners in the group 16 stated they do
not feel comfortable using class-works and therefore only did the screener that is a requirement.
80% stated they know only the basic for administering the screener and needed additional
training before they would use this in their classroom. 20% stated they had a basic
understanding of the program and use it at least 1-3 days a week ,but would also like more
training to use the program efficiently. The group was asked to rated their motivation of using
Class-works as a resource in their classrooms or a way of checking comprehension. From the
questionnaire they concluded that 90% would be willing to use the program if additional
instruction and training were given. 10% stated they had no desire to use the program and do
not find it useful. This information was obtained through a questionnaire and speaking to
individuals.

Educational Ability Levels:

After surveying teachers on their use of technology during the school day, I found that the
learners in my group use or have access to several forms of technology. In each Language arts
classroom teachers have a smart-board, three to five desktop computers, a projector, and a
teacher computer. The math classroom teachers have a smart board, teacher computer,
projector and if needed a cart of 30 surfaces. There is one cart of 30 surfaces per grade level
and an extra set of 30 laptops in the 8th grade for math teacher use. There are also three carts
of chrome-books containing 22 books per cart and 4 academic labs with 30 computer stations
per lab.The survey on technology usage and understanding 100% of the group understands
basic technology and uses it in their classrooms. This group uses a smart-board, email, a web-
based grade book along with moodle for lesson plan uploading. 85% use smart-board software
for whole class practice or showing examples, study island and other web-based practice tools.
80% of the teachers stated that students used technology in their classrooms at least 20% of
the time. This percentage accounts for study island and other interactive practice activities. 95%
of the teachers use some form of technology daily.

General Learning Preferences:

The learners expressed a preference for interactive activities to practice skills or for a quick
check if students understand a topic. A whole class mini lesson and then individual practice
would be helpful to asses who has mastered the content. Using games or review activities
engage students in a lesson. The group also would like more opportunities to express concerns
or successes in using class-works. This information was obtained through grade level
discussions and then at a collaborate department level meeting.

Attitude Towards Education in General:

The group as a whole enjoy instructional or professional development classes that give
important and useful information for enabling students with the needed information to be
successful. Most classes or developing activities are helpful and provide teachers with other
ideas for instructional activities. Teachers are willing to continue their education and staying on
top of new ways of teaching or explaining ideas or concepts. The work environment was
questioned and all grade levels expressed how they relied on each other and enjoyed their work
environments. The administration is supportive and wants teachers to have the tools needed to
inspire and educate the student body.

Group Characteristics:

The school is located in Adel, Georgia. The majority of the students come from low
socioeconomic homes. Teachers are located within a 25 mile radius of the school. The learners
in the group range in age from 25- 55 and have between 4 to 20 years of teaching experience.
Teachers present themselves in a professional manner in school and at school functions. The
teachers are well known in the community and present themselves in a positive way in and out
of the school setting.

KA Part III: Task Analysis, Outline, and Subject Matter Expert

Task Analysis

I conducted the task analysis using a procedural analysis and a task analysis to make sure I provided

participants with as much information as possible. The process includes a step-by-step guide to show

teachers how to use Class-works. I began by logging into class-works and working my way through the

program and all of its many features, so I would have all the features this program has to offer listed. I

created a detailed list ,while working my way through the program, so that I could show all the details

that participants would need to follow while using class-works. I also took into consideration any

problems or suggestions the teachers had about the program. I want my participants to become familiar

with the program and to use it with ease.

All the teachers had a good attitude about the procedural analysis and were eager to learn more about the

program. The teachers know that they need to be willing and open to try this new program. The

participants know this will be a trial and error process as students begin working and teachers begin

monitoring their progress throughout this program. Teachers are ready for the challenge and look forward

to positive results in the end.

Subject Matter Expert (SME)

I (Teara Powell) will serve as the SME for this instructional plan. My formal education consists of a

Bachelors degree in Middle Grades Education, with a focus in Language Arts and Reading. I am

currently pursuing my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction and Media Specialist from Georgia

Southern University in Stateboro, Georgia. I hold a teaching certificate from the state of Georgia in

middle grades Language Arts and reading, as well a gifted certification.

My primary qualification to serve as SME is my role as department head and being on the reading

committee. I attended a two-day Professional Development course on Classwork and was assigned as the

school contact person for the program. With the backing of the administration and my growing

knowledge of technology, I have created instructions to help teachers learn about this program. This can

also be used as a refresher or cheat sheet when teachers forget how to do something.

Defining classworks and the resources found in classworks

The learners will complete a quiz that asks about all the resources found in classworks.
Name:_______________________________
Answer the following questions by circling the correct answer for multiple choice and writing in
a complete sentence for short answer.
1. Classworks can be used to assess students knowledge on only one level at a time?
YES NO

2. Classworks should only be used with students who are below grade level?
YES NO

3. Which of the following subjects are found in classworks?

A. Math/ English B. English/ Science C. Science/Social Studies D. Math/Science

4. Which assessment is done first to establish a baseline?

A. Individual Learning Profile (ILP) B. Universal Screener C. Snapshot Assessment

5. When using a whole class lesson you have which options to choose from?
A. The lesson by standard B. Lesson by concept C. Both A and B

6. Lexile level are not listed in Classworks?

TRUE FALSE
 7. Once a snapshot is taken then the student is assigned what?

8. How are the activities separated? (Levels, Task, etc.)

9. List three things that Classworks does to assist in educating students?

10. How will you use Classworks in your classroom to assist students?

KEY
1. NO
2. NO
3. A
4. B
5. C
6. F
7. Once a snapshot is assigned and taken then if the student passes the assessment then the next
level of practice is assigned. If the fails the snapshot then the weaker areas are assigned as
practice and then the snapshot is reassigned.
8. Activities are assigned by grade levels or activities. If you need an assignment on a standard then
you can search by standards. If you need an assignment based on a topic then you search by the
topic. An example could be if you want standard CC1RL5 then you can search using that
number. However, if you want to teach reading a literary text and need a vary of ranges for
students then you can use those keywords to find the assignments linked with it. This is a great
way to use the same technique with a variety of text based on students ability level.
9. Classworks can be used to assess the level the student can perform on efficiently and fill in any
gaps that the student may have. The program also has a variety of text that can be assigned along
with multiple choice and short answer response. The program also provides mini lesson and
practice that can help with review of an area.
10. Answer will vary. Ex. I am planning on using Classworks as a way of identify weaknesses and
reteach those weaknesses, so that any gaps in learning will be filled. I also plan on using it to
help my student become more familiar with reading a passage and answering questions over the
text and for compare text.

UDL Principle: The quiz will be differentiated to provide multiple means of expression by using
multiple choice, True/False, Yes/No and short answer response. The KWL chart allows students
to see where their ability are and where they are striving to be.

Lesson 2 Assessments
Students will follow the graph and assign the universal screener, create a report to be sent after
screener is complete and place data into a spreadsheet showing a ranking of students
performance.
The spreadsheet should look like this

Name Score

Carlos Monday 650

Kennedy Saturday 648

Tuesday Weeknight 650

George Lopez 630

Tom Cruise 625

Cameron Diaz 615

Adam Sandler 600

Tobey MaGuire 590

Monica Lewis 550

UDL Principle: Multiple means of presentation are used. Visual aids are used to show data in a
chart for easy reading. A flow chart to show steps needed to complete a task. The excel
spreadsheet that shows students that need extra support, so support and advanced work to keep
them engaged and thinking.
Lesson 3 Assessment
Learners are to create a lesson for whole group learning that covers all the topics on the rubric.

UDL principle: Using an organization tool allows learners to reflect on the lesson and see some
strengths and weakness in lesson. This help the learner see what worked or did not work for this
lesson.

Lesson 4 Assessment
Learners will create a chart that shows students plans for individual learning and how they will
chart student progress. Learners must also show how individual learning is assigned by using a
web 2.0 tool.

UDL Principles- Multiple means of presentation are used with visual and auditory can be used
to cover both learning styles. Learners will use a presentation that has step by step directions
along with putting those steps into practice. The sources used are video and text. Learners have
the freedom to use any web 2.0 tool to show the needed steps to assign learning. The chart makes
following student progress quick and shows how students are growing.

Lesson 5 Assessment
Learners need to create a Venn diagram or other visual way to show the similarities and
differences between Snapshots and ILPs. Data collected from student growth should be
represented in a chart or graph.

Example of a diagram could be-

UDL Principle: Multiple means of presentation are used. Learners will use a diagram that shows
how each assessment is different and alike. Learners are able to use multiple tools for
construction of the chart that is used. The chart makes following student progress quick and
shows which levels were assigned added assignments and which ones were already mastered.

Lesson 1: An Introduction to Classworks in the Classroom

Objective 1: The learner will describe Classworks.
1A. The learner will identify the uses for Classworks.
1B. The learner will list the various resources that can be used in Classworks.

Time Span- 1-90 minute class Periods

Motivational Strategies: Learners will make a KWL chart to answer the bug question of What
is Classworks? Teachers will list what they know, want to know and then a spot for what they
have learned by the end of this assignment.
Initial Presentation: Learners will have 15 minutes to complete their KWL charts. Second
Learners will read the article The Effects of Classworks in the Classroom General Strategies:
Students will split up into groups of 3 and fill in a graphic organizer about the article to use for a
group discussion at the end of the class. This article adds helpful tips to create a working
classroom while having students performing different task and assignments Tips, Tools, and
Techniques for Teaching in the Online High School Classroom.
Lesson 2: Classworks Basic
Objective 2: The learner will summarize the benefits of using Classworks.
2 A. The learner will identify benefits of using Classworks.
2 B. The learner will demonstrate how to assign the Universal Screener.
2 C. The learner will investigate how Classworks assigns ILP or Individual Learning Profiles.
2 D. The learner will compare ILPs to Snapshots.
Objective 3: The learner will show an understanding of how to maneuver Classworks
3 A. The learner will perform the procedure of assigning the Universal Screener.
3 B. The learner will construct a spreadsheet using Classworks data.
3 C. The learner will demonstrate how to sort students, label and save the screener data.
Time Span: 3- 90 minute class periods
Motivational Strategies: Learners will explain the Pros and Cons they believe will come with
using Classworks. Ask learners what the hardest part is for teaching a lesson with a wide range of
learners. Place answers on the board.
Initial Presentation: The teachers will show a prezi presentation that outlines the benefits of
using Classworks in the classroom and all the features it contains. Students will fill out a chart
identify the different programs there uses and where they are located in Classworks. In pairs
students will take made up screener results and place them in an excel spreadsheet ranking from
lowest to highest.
General Strategies: Each teacher will assign the Universal screener to their classes and bring
the results to the second class. After discussion of screener results teachers will look up assigned
snapshots for students these are extra practice and narrow down the area of weakness. ILP will
be assigned after snapshot and will be concentrated on their personal weaknesses.
UDL: Learners are provided with different means of information by looking at universal
screeners and ILPs for students. Learners have the opportunity to visualize the information and
then put it into practice. Multiple means of representation by looking at the screeners and
individual learning assignments. Information to back up this can be found in the article The
Effects of Classworks in the Classroom.
Lesson 3:Using Classworks to Create whole class lessons
Objective 4: The learner will design a whole class lesson using Classworks.
4 A. The learner will demonstrate how to locate desired lesson in Classworks.
4 B. The learner will provide students with a mini lesson.
4 C. The learner will assign students to answer practice questions.
Time Span: 2- 90 minute class periods
Motivational Strategies: Learners will answer the question What strategies engage your
students? using Poll Everywhere. The results will be viewed and discussed.
Initial Presentation: The teacher will provide the learners with a demonstration of how
Classworks who group lessons work. Using a smart board to work through the lesson while
learners are logged into classworks and following along. Learners will create an outline to keep
record of the steps we have taken to use later on.
Generative Strategies: Learners will work though a whole lesson that is assigned on
Classworks. Teachers will then pair off and compare answers and which activities they believe
will work best for their classes. Teachers will chose an assignment to use in their classroom and
report the results at the next meeting. Learners can compare lessons and reactions by students
along with how they performed on the activities.
UDL: Learners were exposed to different forms of technology and instruction. Whole group and
individual learning was used to allow learners to ask questions and see how to work through the
program. Both of the article Effective Reading Programs for Middle and High Schools: A
Best-Evidence Synthesis along with Alternatives to traditional instruction: Using games
and simulations to increase student learning and motivation, support having students read
and answer questions online. The article talk about how repetition and games to increase
enjoyment help student learn. Lesson 4: Classworks and creating differentiated lesson plans
Objective 5: The learner will demonstrate how to assign individual student activities using
Classworks.
5 A. The learner will design a variety of lessons based on individual student weaknesses.
5 B. The learner will classify lessons into categories based on the topic.
5 C. The learner will assign lessons to students.
Time Span: 1-90 minute class period
Motivational Strategy: Learners will choose from a stack different strategies that could be used
in a classroom. They will create a list on how they use that strategy and what type of lesson they
are teaching it with.
Initial Presentation: The learners will make a combined list on the smartboard of strategies and
their uses. Once all the strategies are listed then as a group they will add any additional
information others have about the different strategies and their uses. Teachers will then log into
classworks and find a topic to assign to their students. The topic will then be assigned in the level
the student is able to perform in. Learners will provide suggestions on how to make the lesson
more effective. Support that having multiple strategies helps all students be successful.
information was gather from the article The Leopard Has Changed Its Spots: Experiences of
Different Ways in Which Staff Support People with Learning Disabilities.
Generative Strategies:Learners will form a combined list of strategies to use when teaching.
The learners will then list the strategies they are using based on the lessons they assigned their
students. Teachers need to incorporate the strategies they believe or have seen work with their
students.
UDL: Multiple means were used to distribute the information. Learners have the opportunity for
questions and to practice each skill.
Lesson 5: Classworks and Individual Student Profiles
Objective 6: The learner will exhibit how to assess ILPs and Snapshots
6 A. The learner will demonstrate how to view ILP and Snapshots.
6 B. The learner will interpret the results of the assessments.
6 C. The learner will demonstrate how to reassign snapshots and ILPs based on results from
students.
Time Span: 3-90 minute class periods
Motivational Strategies: Learners will use their KWL chart from the first class and
update the information and add any want to learn items to the chart. Any information
that was not covered will be addressed and explanations will be provided.
Initial Presentation: Each learner will view their students ILPs and snapshots and
design goals and strategies to help their students reach grade level or as close to grade
level as possible. They will also be shown using how to reassign and monitor progress
of ILPs and snapshots. Support was gather from the article Filling in the gaps: Using
testing and restudy to promote associative learning.
Generative Strategy: Four stations will be set up and the learners will be divided into
groups of 4. The first station will require the learners to assign and then check the
results of the Universal screener. Station two will have results from a screener and
learners must assign snapshots that will help determine the weakest area for that group
of students. Station three will have snapshot results and learners will assign ILPs that
will increase the students understanding of the information. Station four will require
learners to create goals for student based on different weaknesses . In each group they
will complete each task and write down any questions they may have before move on to
the next one. Once everyone has been to each station then a whole group discussion of
each station will be shared. All the information will be placed on a google document for
teachers to have access to. The article The flip: Classwork at home, homework in class
explains how assignments can be used in school and finished or reviewed at home. Also,
how using the repetition of information being presented helps the student retain the
information.
UDL:Learners are provided with multiple means of information. Additionally, the lesson
has different topics that are addressed. This allows the topics to be in smaller parts and
makes it easier to understand and how understanding of each part. Multiple means of
engagement.

Learner Evaluation

In order to attain feedback for the learners in this course , I have created an evaluation for this
course and attached a link for learners to use.The assessment will go live after completion of
the course and remain active for one week. Learners can start the evaluation and submit it on
through the website. The SME will be emailed the link along with the results of the survey. For
this course evaluation, the SME will be Jami Willis. Jami is a middle school science teacher in
my district. Jami has been teaching for 20 years and holds a masters degree in Instructional
Technology. She has experience in this area of technology.
The course evaluation will be in survey format. The survey has questions for ranking of the
course along with a space for comments from the course. The survey will assess the following
factors of the online course; instructional design, course goals, objectives, activities, along with
interaction and feedback between instructor and learners.
