TIAI Template
You are to create a 5 day Teacher Intern Assessment Instrument (TIAI) unit (5 lesson plans). The unit should include a pre and post assessment. The topic and grade level should be based on the area in which you are seeking licensure. Please use the following directions and scoring guides for this assignment based on whether you are considered elementary or secondary. The unit must be developed on the DSU TIAI template (below) and should be submitted via Canvas as a Microsoft Word document along with a copy of the Grading Criteria Form below. Be sure to list page numbers on the Grading Criteria Form under the score column. For example, if you listed an ELL strategy on Page 2 of your lesson plan, you will put a 2 under the scoring column in the row that mentions ELL.
Your topic for the TIAI and TWS needs to be from 1 subject area – example: science. Then, you need to choose a science topic that aligns to the standards in the state in which you will be teaching this coming school year. If you are going to be teaching in Mississippi, then you need to use the Mississippi College and Career Readiness Standards (available at mdek12.org). If you are going to be teaching in another state, then you can use the standards from that state.
Your topic can be anything you will be teaching this coming school year. For example, your topic might be "plants" if you are going to be a science teacher. After you choose your topic, you will write 5 lesson plans on that particular topic. This will be the 5 day unit (TIAI) on plants or whatever your topic is. You will only teach one subject (example: science) but you will need to integrate the other subject areas (math, social studies, reading, art, etc…) into your lessons. For example: If the first day of your unit is on the parts of a plant then you might read your students a story about plants and that would be integrating reading into your lesson.
The TIAI unit consists of 5 lesson plans (one for each day of the week for one class period each day) for a single subject area (math, science, social studies, language arts/reading, art, or P.E./health) and a single topic that is broad enough for you to develop 5 different lessons plans on it. Your TIAI needs to include your 5 lesson plans, a pre and post assessment, and the attachments for each lesson. Attachments are the materials you will use to accompany your lesson plans. Examples of attachments: PowerPoint presentation, pictures, graphic organizers, assessments with answer keys.
Please use a second grade standard in language
