File Details FMS 117-01: Culture Race and Education (FA23) 4 Previous ('5') Dashboard Afdavit of Leslie Brown Teacher, New Columbia Senior High School Witness for the Defense My name is Leslie Brown. I have a BA. degree in secondary education and I am certied to teach English and Social Studies in the state of New Columbia. I have been a teacher in the New Columbia School District for the past four years. I teach social studies at New Columbia Senior High School. Chris Moss was in one of my social studies classes last year. In my classes, I try to meet the individual needs of students. I like to see students reach their potential. For that reason my classroom activities are designed to help students succeed. We do a lot of small group activities, role- plays, mock trials, discussions and debates. I have students in the class at various levels. Some have difculties with reading, others with writing, and others lack verbal skills. I try to set up the activities so all students can participate regardless of what level they are on. For example, before we do a role-play, I'll have a good student read parts out loud. This way, if students aren't capable of reading the material, they can still know what is going on. I do the same things with evaluations. There are several components to a student's grade. Attendance, class participation, homework, test scores and alternative grade activities all make up the grade. I give homework assignments on a regular basis. Students receive credit for just handing the homework in. A good job on the homework gets extra credit. I don't penalize those students who do not do their homework correctly. I want to encourage them to at least try and do their homework. Pg 26 of 53 Chris M. v. NCPSD and Preecc Developed by the DC.

File Details FMS 117-01: Culture Race and Education (FA23) Tests are made up of multiple choice, ll in the blank, true/false, short answer and essay questions. Before each test, I review the material that will be covered by the test. In addition, I read the questions from the test out loud so I can be sure all the students understand the questions. A student can pass the test if he or she gets all the multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank and short answer questions right. Sometimes I don't give a regular exam for student grades. I use alternative grading methods. For example, often the students get to participate in a mock trial. They have to prepare for it and I grade them on their preparation and their actual participation. I give the students a sheet that indicates how I will grade them on each aspect and what skills I am looking for in their work. This gives students an opportunity to pull up their grades if they don't do well on tests. The school's policy is to pass students whenever possible. The principal gives a pep talk at the beginning of each school year. We are told all students should be helped to meet their potential. Our learning program and evaluation system should be designed to help students progress to the best of their ability. Chris is a very personable and likeable student. Chris often participates in class and offers good ideas in class discussions. I would have liked to see Chris do more homework, but at least Chris was usually in class and participated. Chris has opinions about everything and never hesitates to voice them. It adds a lot to the class. Chris isn't a very good test taker; his written work was poor and the test grades reected this. Most of the grades were BS and there were a couple of Cs. However, Chris did do well on special projects. Last year Chris was a witness in Pg 27 of 53 Chris M. v.
