Dear ELCE-II /Cycle 1 Participant English Teachers and
students,
The second ELCE-II Competition for
Teacher Generated Materials starts NOW! J
This means that you can start submitting your lesson plans
(and handouts that come with it) already today, September 22, 2015. The lesson
plan and supplementary materials (handouts /presentations) should include the
name and school of the author and also - the grade it is intended for. You
should send the materials to: nana.ioseliani@ph-int.org . Deadline for submitting the lesson
plans is October 15, 2015. You
should also send me your personal e-mail address, so that we are able to
register you on our special Virtual Office (VO) platform that will be used for
rating the lesson plans.
Here’s what will happen after you submit your lesson plans:
·
We
will register all the materials and upload them to our blog www.elce-online.com and our Virtual Office (that you all
will have access to as soon as I have your e-mail addresses). The name of the
author for each lesson plan will be registered but it will not be indicated on
the blog or the VO to ensure transparency and impartiality when rating the lesson
plan. Only the grade/class will be mentioned.
·
All
the participants of ELCE II/Cycle I (teachers as well as students) are required
to go online and rate the lesson plans based on a special rubric. Instructions for rating will follow
shortly. The cumulative sum of points that each of you collect will depend
not only on the results of the rating of your lesson plan, but also, on how
many lesson plans (of your colleagues) you will rate.
·
Rating
of the lesson plans will start on November 1, 2015 and will end on November 15,
2015.
·
Just
like last time, we will have three categories: elementary grades (1-5);
secondary grades (6-9); high school grades (10-12) and consequently, there will
be three winners (one per category).
·
The
winners will be awarded with a certificate and a gift (now you know that the
gift is worthy to fight for J).
·
Please,
note that the competition is not region specific. All the participants of ELCE-II/Cycle I from
Tbilisi and Samtskhe-Javakheti will be competing with one another.
·
This
time ELCE II/Cycle 1 participants students will also be able to participate in
the competition (send us their lesson plan and win J).
The assessment/rating rubric will
consist of the following questions:
1.
Includes
clearly stated pedagogical, language and civic education objectives;
2.
Focuses
on the learner & gives evidence of activities which include all students
3.
Activities
reflect logical steps toward achievement of objective
4.
Activities
contain scaffolding – through specific directions and/or handouts.
5.
Final
activity shows evidence that learners have achieved the objective
6.
Incorporates
communicative approach to language
7.
Material
is engaging and age/level specific
8.
Lesson
plan contains enough specific instructions to enable a teacher to use the
lesson plan without having attended the ELCE workshops.
Each
of the above stated rubric questions will have three possible answers with
relevant points:
Yes = 4 points
Partially = 2 points
No = 0 points
Each
of you will get one additional point for rating each of your colleagues’ lesson
plans.
Thus the cumulative sum of your points
will equal the rating your colleagues gave you + number of lesson plans you
rated.
Please,
feel free to contact us for any additional questions. Good luck,
ELCE-II
Team J
