Daily Learning Contract
- Topic: Career Oral Evidence
- Objective: Students will deliver a 60-90-second oral/AAC career brief using an appropriate private recording, Canvas evidence card, teacher-approved visual, or AAC technology route, with one duty, preparation evidence, a correctly labeled labor figure, and a bounded conclusion.
- TEKS: d(1)(C), d(4)(B), d(4)(C)
- Demonstration of Learning: Private 60-90-second oral/AAC career brief with one appropriate technology choice, two-page delivery record, two-career transfer reflection, 16-point self-score, and one visible revision note.
TEKS: d(1)(C), d(4)(B), d(4)(C) Evidence: 60-90-second professional oral/AAC brief, self-evidence, transfer reflection, and rubric
Before Class
Per student, have the two-page Career Oral Evidence Brief, two-page rubric, Day 3 outline, and assigned technology. Prepare one class roster/checkoff and timer. Checkoff fields are student, career, date, route, seconds, technology used, oral/AAC complete, written record complete. Confirm each route before class. Use sequential 60-90-second slots, simultaneous small groups with recordable evidence, teacher conferences, private recordings, or AAC. Project this complete model: “I am exploring market research analysis because the work studies what audiences need. Analysts collect and explain consumer evidence; a bachelor's degree is typical. BLS reports a $76,950 May 2024 U.S. median and 7% projected growth for 2024-34. Those measures do not guarantee DFW starting pay. My next step is to compare the work with graphic design.” Do not improvise a 75-minute three-minute roster.
50-Minute Flow
- Final evidence check - 5 min. Career, duty, preparation, labeled labor evidence, bounded conclusion, source, and time.
- Oral/AAC evidence window - 35 min. Use the preassigned route; students not presenting complete private self-evidence and transfer reflection.
- Self-score and revision note - 7 min. Use four criteria; identify one next change.
- Week 5 interview preview - 3 min. This is not graded today. The next week uses a private campus route and does not collect family contact information.
Key and Trim Point
At minute 5, every student needs a route, slot, and named technology. If one-third are not ready, use the complete fixed model and conference queue. At minute 25, the checkoff should show at least half of oral/AAC routes complete while waiting students finish written evidence. At minute 43, every student needs oral/AAC completion plus the written record/self-score or a named make-up slot. Recorded students upload the written record/rubric and private audio/video together. Live, conference, and AAC students submit the written record/rubric by annotation, upload, labeled text, or paper while the teacher completes the named checkoff. Text alone is not oral evidence. Trim public sharing and the Week 5 preview first; preserve oral/AAC evidence, appropriate technology, written record, and checkoff.
Absence and Access
Use a supervised teacher conference, private recording, or AAC make-up. No public Discussion or family-adult dependency.
