Alliant International University - Professional Portfolio

During my time at Alliant International University, I've authored lesson plans, collaborative graphic organizers, math proofs, among other assignments to meet the requirements for my Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential. Take a look here to explore a few samples of my work. It is my hope that these documents can provide insight into how I organize and manage my classroom.

Welcome to Ms. Wilcox's 1st-Grade Classroom!

Click below to take a peek into my "virtual" classroom - this video was created to demonstrate some of the most important details my students need to know on the first day of school.

Assessment or Evaluation Questions

Assessment and evaluation is a critical component for all educators. Click the image below or here to view some typical assessment questions and strategies used in my classroom. These questions were designed to assess a lesson addressing the 4th grade Science Standard 4-ESS2-1: Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.

Planning & Collaboration Graphic Organizer

During the Content Knowledge: Elementary Practices course, students were tasked with developing a graphic organizer to support planning and collaboration. Click the image below or here to review this graphic organizer co-authored by me.

Co-Teaching Lesson Plan
