Data+Collection

Because I anticipate co- teaching about visual literacy within a variety of lessons and disciplines, I am going to use assessment tools that may or may not be used according to the teacher's discretion and arrangement of the presentation. I am creating a teacher survey to be given at the beginning of the semester. This will help me determine their opinions and knowledge of visual literacy as well as how interested they are in having it incorporated into one or more of their lessons. Secondly, I am going to create a pre and post test about reading images for students that can be administered if it is suitable for the lesson. There will be two assessment tools. One is for observation of students as they work with images and the second will be a rubric for those classes that will be creating a product using the visual principles we have taught.

Johnson & Christensen (2009) describe qualitative data as including observations, interviews with people about their opinions and experiences and document review. I have included the data collection tools in order to provide solid feedback about how effective the instruction is and if we are meeting the standards for the chosen lesson.
