In addition to reading the Announcements , prepare for this discussion by reading the Required Resources , the Week Four Instructor Guidance , and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form found on p. 112-113 of your text, the Child Study Team Referral Form from week three, and Part I of the Comprehensive Report found in the Instructor Guidance for this week. Scenario: In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes. You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to Part I of the Comprehensive Report prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined. Initial Post: Review the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the Child Study Team Referral Form that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

Psychology assignment Assignments Assignment Preparation and Submission Instructions PSYC 2131: Introduction to Childhood and Adolescence has four assignments. Each assignment is divided into various parts, which include questions assessing your understanding of your course text material, responses to exploratory activities you are asked to complete, and discussion postings. Preparing Your Assignments The following suggestions will help you to prepare your course assignments successfully. Read them carefully before you begin: · Refer to the Suggested Schedule for direction as to when to submit each assignment. While you are free to work through the course at your own pace, you will learn more effectively and increase your likelihood of success if you spread the work out evenly throughout the duration of the course. Note: If your goal is to complete the course in 16 weeks, you should meet the timetable set out in the Suggested Schedule. · Read all assignment directions and questions before you begin preparing your answers. · Multiple questions can be answered by including the question number and the letter of your selected answer, e.g., 1. A; 2. B.; etc. · Ensure that you develop your answers to the written questions using your own words. Do not provide answers that include information copied directly from your course material. While it can be a difficult process, writing answers that express concepts and issues in your own words has direct learning benefits: this strategy will ensure that you understand the course material at a deep level, and it will increase the likelihood that you will remember the information. · Be sure that your assignments are clearly written and that the material is organized in a logical fashion, using correct sentence and paragraph structure. Be sure to double space your lines and include your name and the assignment number at the top of the first page. · Proofread your final copy. Although electronic spell checkers will find most errors, they are not foolproof and can, at times, mislead you. It is still necessary to proofread your work to catch certain types of mistakes and grammatical errors. By correcting your grammar and spelling errors, you can polish your assignments and bring clarity to your ideas. Criteria for Grading Assignments Your written course work, including the module activities, should be independently developed and reflect your best efforts. The grade that is assigned to your assignment work is based on evidence that you have: · Addressed the questions or assignment posed. · Developed responses that are clear and well-reasoned. · Demonstrated clear understanding and application of the course material. · Met university-level expectations for written communication, including logical organization and correct sentence structure, grammar, and spelling. Students can contact the TRU Writing Centre for help with written work athttps://www.tru.ca/writingcentre/Open_Learning_Writing_Centre_Support.html. P ...

DQ 1 for two people Guided Response: Locate and respond to two classmates’ posts which contain differing perspectives on the value of action research or that which is different than your own. What new or different perspectives regarding action research do you now have as a result? Provide specific feedback regarding their ideas to improve their practice and how their concepts will impact students. *It is expected for you to follow up by the last day of the week to provide a secondary response to any comments or questions your instructor may have provided. This is part of the grading criteria as a demonstration of critical thinking. # 1 response I need answer Brianna McPhatter 6/11/2015 10:57:23 AM Discussion One Part One: According Eileen Ferrance (2000) in Themes in education: Action research, action research “involves people working to improve their skills, techniques, and strategies. Action research is not about learning why we do certain things, but rather how we can do things better. It is about how we can change our instruction to impact students” (p. 9). Considering this perspective as well as the information in Chapter 1 of Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher Researcher, factors that bring value to action research, differentiating it from traditional educational research are having decision-making authority, more commitment to continuous professional development and school improvement, information gathered will help teachers with reflection and creating better action plans (Mills, 2014). Part Two: Ferrance (2000) adds, “One of the drawbacks of individual research is that it may not be shared with others unless the teacher chooses to present findings at a faculty meeting, make a formal presentation at a conference, or submit written material to a listserv, journal, or newsletter” (p. 9). Considering that my final project will be an action research proposal presentation, this will lead me to improve my practice and make changes to instruction to positively impact students by using research to better inform myself about what needs to be done to improve the development of students. Part Three: The article addresses additional comparisons between action and traditional research. The article stated that, “is a powerful tool for (…) education and promotion practitioners who want to focus on improving the quality of their programs and services” (Acosta & Golts, 2014). References Acosta, S., & Goltz, H. H. (2014). Transforming practices: A primer on action research. Health Promotion Practice, 15(4), 465-470. doi:10.1177/1524839914527591 Ferrance, E. (2000).

Early intervention programs that begin in kindergarten or first grade and work with students for more than five months up to a year have been shown to be more successful than shorter programs. Successful programs have smaller instructional groups, with one-on-one intervention being the most effective. Core reading programs now offer supplemental intervention programs to provide extra support to struggling readers. These programs should be evaluated based on criteria such as explicit instruction of reading strategies, scaffolding of new skills, integration of strategies, priming of background knowledge, judicious review, and well-paced lessons. Two intervention programs described in the document, My Sidewalks and Strategic Intervention Kit, meet some criteria but lack scaffolding and explicit explanation of linking strategies

Understanding Performance Assessment We have discussed a variety of types of informal and formal assessments such as observation, checklists, rating scales, and teacher-designed assessments. In this chapter, we discuss how assessments contribute to a broader strategy—performance-based assessment. Each assessment discussed previously contributes to the collection of assessment information that is part of performance-based assessment. The strategies used to conduct these assessments permit the teacher to measure a child’s performance. Before proceeding further, we should explain what is meant by performance-based assessment and how it is seen as a positive alternative to the use of standardized tests to measure children’s development and learning. Traditional formal methods of measuring learning have focused on assessing what the child knows. Achievement tests are accurately labeled in that they measure what the child has achieved. Performance assessment is advocated as a contrast to high-stakes testing. Early childhood educators such as Meisels (2000, 2014) deplored the situation in which tests determine what teachers teach, what children learn, and whether children fail or are promoted. Rather than depend on tests that are a single indicator of what a child has learned, Meisels proposed that the teacher should have a generative or transformed role with children. The teacher–learner process permits the learner to use his or her own skills to learn new skills. Performance assessments require more in that they measure what the child can do or apply, in addition to what the child knows. Moreover, performance assessment includes completion of a task in a realistic context. Performance assessments require the student to perform some action or activity that demonstrates understanding and application. Performance-based assessment is considered particularly useful with young children because it measures progress as well as achievement. Children in the early childhood years are proceeding through rapid changes in development that are described as complex because of the interactions among maturation, experience, and learning (Illinois State Board of Education: Early Childhood Education, 2012). Current needs in the workfo ...

Purpose Of Assessment For Learning

College Paper Ghost Writer Louisville

Here are the key points about assessment types from the document: - Assessment can be formative (ongoing to improve learning) or summative (final evaluation). Formative assessment provides feedback to teachers and students. - Common formative assessment methods mentioned include observations, performance assessments, flexible interviews, and age-appropriate tests. - Observations allow teachers to understand students' thinking processes and errors, not just behaviors. - Informal classroom assessments are important for understanding individual students, as state tests only provide a limited picture. - Record keeping is important for tracking students' progress, communicating results, and ensuring accountability. The document discusses the purposes and types of assessment, emphasizing the value of format

Week 1 - Discussion 2 5353 unread replies.5353 replies. Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. Assessment in Early Childhood When using assessments with young children, it is important to make sure that they are being used appropriately and with a specific purpose in mind. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an important resource to use as you are making decisions about assessment in early childhood. According to Howard, V. F., & Aiken, E. ( 2015), “NAEYC takes the position that assessment in ECE is not only unique and valuable but also vital to implementing developmentally appropriate practices and the success of individual children, their families, ECE professionals, and ECE programs” (p. 60). Developmentally, young children have distinct needs when it comes to assessment, as the traditional paper/pencil assessment is not appropriate. Therefore, it is important that assessment in early childhood is approached in a developmentally responsive manner, always considering the individual needs of this age group. For this discussion you will reflect on the similarities and differences between assessment with older children and assessment in early childhood, and explore the unique ways in which assessment in early childhood is conducted. Include the following in your discussion post: Explain why it is necessary to approach assessment in early childhood differently than assessment with older children. In what ways are assessments similar, regardless of the age of the children? In what ways are assessments in early childhood different? Identify how play-based, project-based, and child-directed learning support the implementation of developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood. Compare and contrast your personal stance on assessment with that of either NAEYCor the Division for Early Childhood (DEC). In what ways do they align? In what ways do they differ? Use Chapter 2 of the course textbook to support your response. Determine what, in your opinion, the role of families is in the assessment-learning process. Thinking about the age of children you desire to work with and the unique needs of that age group, how do you envision working with families during the assessment process? Provide specific examples. Guided Response: Review several of your peers’ responses. Respond to at least two of your peers by further enhancing their discussion regarding family involvement. Explain why family involvement in early intervention is important.

Presenting the Case of Manuel Throughout this course you have been learning about the special educator’s role within the multidisciplinary assessment process, including how evaluative data drives the planning and development of an individualized program and how legal safeguards ensure that evaluation and assessment practices do not discriminate on the basis of race, culture, or native language. The purpose of this assignment is for you to culminate the learning achieved in this course through a real-world application of the content. This summative assessment also supports your achievement of Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the MASE Program Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. As a tenured special education teacher at the local public school you have been a key part of the of the multidisciplinary team process for the assessment of Manuel. You have been able to work closely with Mr. Franklin, one of Manuel's teachers. You have contributed to the formal assessment process for this student who has exhibited learning challenges over a period of time. As a result, you are now able to use this data to make informed decisions about his possible eligibility for special education services and the determination of the individualized supports. As you become more competent in your field it is likely that you will be asked to create formal or informal presentations for families, teachers, or other professionals. Imagine that you have been asked to present “The Case of Manuel” at a local workshop for the purpose of explaining the requirements of the assessment process, the components of the evaluation report, and how to base instructional recommendations based upon the data collected through the evaluation process.

Use at least 10 scholarly sources to support your position pertaining to t ...

Clinical Field Experience B Humanities Instructional and Engageme

WilheminaRossi174

Clinical Field Experience B: Humanities Instructional and Engagement Strategies 2 I picked Ms. Dawn’s class at Children’s of America in Fredericksburg Virginia, for this week's field excursion. Unbeknownst to me, parent teacher conferences were held last week, providing me with a wealth of experience listening to/observing parent participation and cooperation with their kid and their child's instructor. Despite the fact that I was not permitted to speak to the parents on Ms. Dawn's behalf, I was given the chance to assist Ms. Dawn in planning the meeting and conducting two of the sessions. Apart from that, I was given the bulk of my time in the classroom to engage and interact with the kids, which frequently needed me to utilize my own personal group problem-solving abilities to keep the students on task and focused on the activities at hand. This was a fantastic opportunity for me to meet with the parents and families of Ms. Dawn's remarkable children as well as watch, practice, and reinforce my own problem-solving abilities. I've always known that leadership and collaboration are critical in any classroom, but I had to take a step back and evaluate just how difficult it is to manage all of the responsibilities that come with being an educator, particularly leadership, social skills, and collaborative practices. Ms. Paddock was able to provide me with a great deal of guidance as I prepare to teach my own class and work with my own students and families. "Your students' parents will (ideally) be their child's number one fan," Ms. Dawn said, "and as an educator, you ought to be their number one fan as well." Make use of this common ground to tell parents how important their child's success is to you as their educator; parents will appreciate it, and kids will become more interested!" Educators are aware of how kids develop and flourish. They understand that learning and development processes differ from person to person and across cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical domains. To accommodate these variances, instructors must be able to create and administer developmentally appropriate and demanding learning experiences that are adaptable. The educator meets students where they are, which means they begin with what the student already understands, then they provide guidance and ongoing support as needed. This will change depending on the issue. When introducing new topics, scaffolding is beneficial. The educator scaffolds information and/or assignments based on the student's specific requirements. Educators evaluate individual and group performance on a regular basis in order to plan and alter education to fulfill students' requirements in each area of development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical), as well as scaffold instruction for the next level of growth. The strategy involved when interacting with the students started with first understanding their needs and secondly addressing ...
