Performance Assessment
Introduction to Programming
I created a standards-based performance assessment for the Introduction to Programming course I taught at Butte College in Fall of 2025.
The assessment aimed to give students real-world practice with reading and writing to data files, a common practice in Software Engineering. Students utilized recent knowledge about Python modules, looping, arrays, and data types to create an interactive program that would read a file, gather data from it, and return results in a user-friendly console interface.
Integrated Math I Lesson Plans
Properties of Exponents
In this lesson students explored and practiced the basic properties of exponents including taking structured notes and completing an exit ticket.
Rate of Change
Students continue to explore slope and what it means in terms of linear equations and story problems.
Spatial Visualization
Students use virtual manipulatives to visualize transformations of objects in space.
Area Models
Students learn the relationship between algebra tiles, factored polynomials, and formulas for area.
Least Squares Regression Line
Students use e-tools to explore what a LSRL means in terms of gathered data.
Correlation vs. Causation
As part of a literacy mini-unit students debate and discover the difference between association and causation.
