Assignment: Overview: The white paper that you have developed on your selected K-12 assessment topic is now ready for you to present to the locally elected board of the school district. Create a presentation using Prezi or similar software in order to present your research to the task force. The information within your presentation will assist the task force in developing a district-wide professional development plan geared toward improving the overall test scores of the schools within the district.

Instructions: Recorded Presentation - Overall Presentation Style and Structure

1. Present your findings in 10 slides using Prezi, PowerPoint, or a presentation software of your choice. (Note: Notify the professor on Week 7 concerning the software you choose to use for the presentation.)

2. Include a title slide and references section (These two slides are not part of the ten slide requirement.)

3. Develop a coherent, organized presentation using your chosen tool for a professional audience, using clean design, readable text, and visuals that support the information presented.

4. Provide audio narration of the presentation slides as if you were delivering the speech. (Note: If you do not have access to a microphone, provide detailed speaker notes with your presentation.)

5. Overview and recommendation section (first five slides) in which you:

• Provide an overview of the white paper. The overview should include, at a minimum, background on your topic and its relevance to K-12 assessment and the demographics of the district.

• Discuss the significant recommendations that you have made within the white paper regarding changes to the district's current assessment goals.

• Provide three methods by which the task force might use the white paper in order to develop a district-wide professional development plan geared toward improving the overall test scores of the district.

6. Personal reflection section (last five slides) in which you provide:

• What you have learned from developing the white paper as well as what you have learned during this course.

• Your personal reflection on the new technologies that you researched in the Assessment Project - Part 2 and the manner in which such technologies have changed your views on how to approach assessment in the classroom.

• The manner in which you would implement the recommendations made in Assessment Project - Part 2 within your own school district or within your classroom practices. Provide specific examples of the changes that you have already made or would like to make.
