For the first written assignment , you will be asked to review eight exhibits, including a video-recorded segment of a teacher’s instruction (12–15 minutes), and then provide a written analysis of the teacher’s effectiveness. In the second written assignment, you will be asked to review several exhibits related to a school and then provide a written analysis regarding the school leadership.  \n.  \nRead each assignment carefully before you begin to write. Think about how you will organize your responses.  \nYou may use the erasable notebook provided to make notes, write an outline, or otherwise prepare your response. However, your score will be based solely on the responses you type in the onscreen response boxes. Remember to review what you have written to ensure that you address all aspects of each assignment, and make any changes you think will improve your responses. The final version of each response should conform to the conventions of edited American English.  \nYou may NOT use any type of calculator or reference materials during the testing session.  \nNote: During your test session, you will need to view several associated exhibits for each assignment. To view the exhibits, click the Exhibits button on the right side of your screen. A pop-up window will appear. The pop-up window can then be resized and/or repositioned on your screen so the information can be accessed while completing your response. If you would like to view all exhibits, click the tabs atthe top of the pop-up window.  \nINSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP ASSIGNMENT  \nAssignment  \nBased on your observation of the video recording and your review of the class profile, lesson plan, prior walkthrough observations, student work samples, and teacher reflection, as well as your understanding of the California Administrator Performance Expectations, evaluate the effectiveness of Teacher A's classroom instruction, identify Teacher A's strengths and improvement needs, and describe how you would support Teacher A's professional growth and improvement.  \nYour response should address the following questions:  \n• Engaging and Supporting Students in Learning  \nWere the lesson objectives clear and reflective of California's state-adopted K–12 academic content standards and frameworks? To what extent was the teacher's instructional plan, including activities and materials, effective in promoting student engagement and student learning? To what extent did the teacher exhibit appropriate content-specific pedagogy in the lesson? Describe how the teacher addressed variations in learning needs and developmental levels of students including, if applicable, learning needs of English learners and students with special needs, within the lesson. Be specific and detailed in your analysis, citing evidence as appropriate from the video recording, artifacts, and documents.  \n• Assessing Student Learning  \nHow effectively did Teacher A monitor student learning and provide feedback to students during the lesson? How did Teacher A assess student mastery of the learning objectives for the lesson/unit? How did Teacher A use the results of student monitoring and assessment? Be specific and detailed in your analysis, citing evidence as appropriate from the video recording, artifacts, and documents.  \n• Developing as a Professional Educator  \nBased on your analysis and on information provided in the artifacts ","cbCaio5pa9UUbu70","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio5pa9UUbu70","pdf",1686054,57,"English","# GENERAL DIRECTIONS\n## INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP ASSIGNMENT\n### Engaging and Supporting Students in Learning\n### Assessing Student Learning\n### Developing as a Professional Educator\n## School Context","[{\"question\":\"What is the overall structure of the CPACE performance sample test?\",\"answer\":\"The test consists of two written assignments.
