ABCTE- PTK (Assessment & Writing)

Business Communication - Use concrete terms instead of abstract terms.

The best you know your audience, the better you can anticipate and incorporate rules on

how, what, and when to use specific words and terms.

Understand the relationship between universal or specific appeal to an audience or context.

Clear and concise communication involves anticipation. Anticipating the language that the

reader is expected to know, unfamiliar terms, enables the writer to communicate.

Promoting understanding and limiting misinterpretations are key goals of an effective

communicator.

Maintains Class Control - Students rely on teachers to establish and maintain a safe and

orderly learning environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and allows each student to

achieve his or her maximum potential. The need for student discipline requires the teacher

to develop a set of rules that establish boundaries for behavior and to enforce them in a fair

and consistent manner.

Successful teachers prepare for classroom disruption before they begin to occur.

Alongside creating a list, teacher should include consequences as part of the introductory

events that occur during the first week of school.

A well constructed, student-centered lesson plan is the best tactic that a teacher can

employ to avert student discipline situations.

Classroom Managment -

Productive Writing - Know when you are most productive (mornings, afternoons,

evenings...)

If you cannot choose your timing, then dedication and perseverance is required.

To be productive:

1. You need to be alert.

2. Ready to work

3. Accomplish task with relative ease.

4. Write everyday

5. Develop an habit of concentrating while you write.

6. Critical thinking self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective

thinking (attention to detail).

7. Have a positive attitude about writing in general.

Reading and writing from an audience-centered view means acknowledging your

confirmation bias and moving beyond it to consider multiple frames of references, points of

view, perspectives as you read, research, and write.

Break down writing in small manageable steps, that in turn, will provide you with a

platform for success.

Your rough draft as a purpose but its not your final product.

Let go of fear of failure.

Your desire for perfection should come in place when it comes to polishing your finished

product.

To eliminate fear of writing, make the unknown known. If we take out the mystery out of

the product and and process, we can see it for its essential components. We see how our

finished product should look.

Examine successful papers to get a better feel for what you have to produce.

Planning Checklist - 1. Determine your general purpose: are you trying to inform, persuade,

entertain, facilitate interaction, or motivate a reader? (who, what, when, how, and

why(optional)) Identifying "why" something happened or why a certain decision is

advantageous will be the essence of the communication.

2. Determine your specific purpose: the desired outcome.

3. Credibility, Timing, and Audience
