Key Issues Facing
Updated technology & equipment not always available, especially for kindergarten.
New curriculum requires different style of teaching.
Sugarcreek Elementary School funds are allocated to schools based on performance scores, which are difficult to improve without updated technology, which in turn cannot be obtained without an inflow of funds.
George Watts Elementary School, on the other hand, has introduced a new curriculum which is currently being implemented with some growing pains.
Role of Technology
Please refer above
Updated modern technology available
While George WattsElementary School integrates technology into all of its lessons, Sugarcreek Elementary School is unable to do so because of the lack of updated equipment.

According to Ms. Taylor, the most important issue she faces in ensuring that students reach their potential is the lack of funds – on the part of the school, as well as on the part of parents. As Sugarcreek Elementary is part of a relatively low income neighborhood, many students are from families that are struggling to make ends meet. The school is als.
Diversity in education is important for teachers and students. Teachers must understand students' different backgrounds and learning styles to meet their needs. While it can be challenging, incorporating various teaching methods and respecting differences can benefit students. Testing teachers may help ensure they are prepared to teach diverse students effectively and continuously improve. Overall, understanding diversity is key for teachers to help all students succeed.
The document discusses the important role that teachers play in educating and influencing students. It begins by stating that teachers are the foundation of society and provide security for students as some may not have parents. Next, it notes that teachers have many obligations such as being role models and mentors. The document concludes by discussing the author's goals as a future teacher, which include making the classroom environment welcoming and using motivation and discipline as key principles for educating students.
Qualities Of Effective Teachers - Johnson P. J. Principal, G D Goenka Publi_2...Pooma Educational Trust
This document discusses the qualities of effective teachers and their important role in student learning and school success. It addresses that while teachers are the catalysts of learning, they must be properly trained and motivated. It also emphasizes that students and parents are the other key stakeholders that teachers must work with effectively. For schools to be truly successful, it is important that all three parties - teachers, students, and parents - understand their roles and work together cooperatively.
The document provides an overview of values education in the Philippines throughout history. In pre-colonial times, Filipinos valued diplomatic skills and survival skills. During Spanish colonial rule from the 16th to 19th centuries, the Spanish dominated the Filipinos and imposed Catholicism. In the American occupation in the early 20th century, the Americans established new political, economic and educational systems to control the Filipinos. Currently, values education aims to develop students' character and morality through various teaching approaches.
The document discusses the work of FirstSchool, an initiative aimed at improving education for young minority and low-income children. It does this by partnering with schools to help teachers implement research-based practices through collaborative inquiry. Data is collected on student experiences and used to facilitate changes in instructional practices and classroom culture. Results show increases in teaching time, literacy instruction, collaboration and student autonomy, and decreases in transitions between activities. The goal is to create a high-quality, seamless educational experience for young children.
This document is a statement of informed beliefs by a teacher discussing their philosophy of education. It covers several key topics: recognizing that students learn differently and it is the teacher's responsibility to meet their needs; having high expectations for all students regardless of background; understanding how family and social factors influence learning; promoting socialization and community involvement; addressing the needs of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds; using various methods of planning, assessment, and adjusting curriculum to accommodate different learning styles and needs. The overall message is the importance of treating each student as an individual, modifying one's teaching approach, and connecting learning to the wider social context to help all students succeed.

Classroom Environment
Classroom Layout
Positive Behavior
Patick,Kaplan, Ryan (2011) state, “The environment of a classroom plays an important role in students' motivation, engagement, and achievement at school”(pg.1). The layout of a classroom can also affect a student’s behavior, concentration and attitudes toward learning. If the classroom is designed to promote positive collaborations, physical movement and accessible materials, students are able to take charge of their own learning.
Classroom Environment
The physical layout of the classroom promotes flexibility for movement and is important to student learning. According to Tomlinson (2013), students need to be able to change their seating arrangements and vantage points to keep them engaged in learning. The walls in classroom are utilized to reflect student work , projects and visuals are used throughout the room as rule reminders and choice menus. Bulletin boards and partition walls are also used to draw student attention to highlighted work and project examples that students may be currently working on.
Classroom Environment
The Furniture
All the furniture in the classroom including the desks, tables, bookshelves and supply cart are lightweight and movable to allow for easy access. The furniture is also made out of material that does not stain and is easy for students to wipe down after art activities. Since space is limited in my classroom moveable furniture enables me to create a larger space in the middle of the classroom. The larger space provides me an opportunity to differentiate my lessons in a different learning format. The students in my classroom have diverse learning styles and learning in different formats can promote increased student engagement.

My students and I consider my classroom a learning community. Part of being a community is to follow the rules to enable everyone to learn in a comfortable and respectful environment. My students and I design our community rules on the first day of school, each of my students can either write down a rule idea on a 3x5 card or they can raise their hand and tell me. I then put down all the rules on the whiteboard and once we have decided on appropriate rules, then they are posted in the front of the cla.
This document outlines the learning goals for a physical education unit on the game "Sharks and Minnows" for a kindergarten class. The three learning goals are:
1) Learn movement concepts and pathways while participating in games
2) Learn the rules of the game
3) Demonstrate appropriate interactions with others and space while playing
The unit aims to teach students new skills through organized play, explain the game rules verbally and through demonstration, and encourage teamwork and personal space through independent practice of the game.

What are the most important issues you currently face in ensuring all students achieve their potential?
Lack of parent involvement and help at home. Low income community. Deployment heavy. Teachers face extensive paperwork and strict guidelines that focus on state testing. These guidelines can take two weeks to go through lessons which can leave little time for additional help at the end of the year to catch up.
The amount and frequency of state mandated tests/assessments. Lack of parental support and the shortage of teachers. I have taught in classrooms with over 30 students and there are many substitutes filling classrooms.
I see similarities in the lack of parent support towards academics and the concern with state tests and guidelines.
How are you addressing these issues?
Limit amount of assignments that require parental assistance. Sending supplies home to complete assignments. Standing up for students and requesting modifications from higher for students that need additional help.
By reaching out to parents and trying to involve them in the classroom which can be difficult because many work multiple jobs and have multiple children in different grades. We try and help with homework during after school tutoring sessions which are mostly volunteers (teachers working late).
These are similar in that the teachers try and help students with homework in different ways like limiting assignments that require help and offering tutoring after school.
What role does technology play in classrooms to support teaching and learning?
There are great tech tools out there and it takes trying different tools out to see which enrich the students the most. Technology is not necessary but can be a great aide as kids are tech savvy.
It plays a huge role as it helps to keep students engaged , helps teachers present materials in different format and give children the opportunity to interact with technology they would not otherwise have at home.
I see a difference in teaching preferences as the first teacher sees technology as helpful but not necessary and the other who relies on it in their classroom.

The Quest to Learn classroom focuses on digital media and hands-on learning rather than traditional textbooks. Students use digital tools to design video games that teach core subjects. Assessments are integrated throughout the design process rather than standardized tests. While different than a traditional classroom, the Quest to Learn environment allows more active, personalized learning through collaboration, exploration, and tailored assessments.

Classroom Behavior Management Plan Components
Foundation
A- Classroom Demographics
lowa the King Catholic School consists of approximately 240 students from pre-k to 8th grade. The kindergarten class, the classroom in which I observed, consists of 21 students. Students’ demographics are 15 white students, three African American students, one Asian student, and one Hispanic student. The classroom is managed by two teachers who are trained to deal with different ethnic groups. Because the school is a private school, most of the students represent middle to high levels of socioeconomic status.
The students’ behaviors in the kindergarten class are diverse. As students in the kindergarten class are a younger age, they normally are very active and teachers were very professional in dealing with them. The teachers always reminded the children of the rules of the class such as, “Don’t speak when the teacher is talking. Don’t answer questions until the teacher asks you to answer”. In addition, in the class, there is a leadership board and every day the teachers put one of the student’s name on the board to be the leader of the day. The leader’s job is to do the morning work such as set the date of the day, weather, and season on the smart board by getting help from the teachers and students. Also, some of the leader’s job is to organize the students’ line when they go to the restroom in the restroom times and when they go to the play area.
The teachers plan the lesson carefully to meet all students’ needs. They develop the curriculum to align with all students’ cultures and backgrounds. They print all of the vocabulary they teach students on cards and put them on the board. In addition, they put different books that are related to different cultures in the class library for students to read in the reading time.
B- Philosophy
From my point of view, most of the students’ problems and misbehaviors happen for a reason. Therefore, it is the teacher’s job to find out the reasons for the misbehaviors and teach the students the appropriate behaviors. The most effective way to prevent the misbehavior is to focus on replacing and teaching the positive behavior instead of eliminating it. the theory of Ibrahim Maslow supports this idea and shows that undesired behavior happens not because of a bad child, but because of the child is reaction when one or more of his/her basic needs are not being met. These needs include Knowledge and understanding, self-actualization, self-respect, belongingness and affection, safety and security, physiological needs. He suggests that to reduce child negative behavior, parents and teachers should work to meet the child’ needs.
Furthermore, I believe that teachers can create a productive and positive classroom atmosphere by conducting group activities to help students form good relationships with classmates and became familiar with other cultures and ethnicities. The theorist Rudolf Dreikurs also supports this idea. His th ...
DISCUSSION ISSUES ON DISPARITIES IN ACHIEVEMENTFatin Amira
This document discusses trends and issues in education for mathematical sciences. It begins by noting the consensus that educating children is key to economic development, but that rural-urban disparities in education performance remain a problem in developing countries despite government efforts. The document then examines differences in academic achievement between rural and urban students in Malaysia. It identifies family factors like parental education levels and encouragement, as well as teacher quality as influencing rural student performance. Effective teachers are described as loving teaching, demonstrating care for students, and having strong content knowledge.

It identifies family factors like parental education levels and encouragement, as well as teacher quality as influencing rural student performance. Effective teachers are described as loving teaching, demonstrating care for students, and having strong content knowledge.
The document discusses co-teaching in kindergarten classrooms. It defines co-teaching as two or more teachers sharing teaching responsibilities within a general education classroom. The benefits of co-teaching include developing respect for differences, creating more opportunities for differentiated instruction, and increasing student achievement and pro-social behaviors. Teachers also benefit from co-teaching through developing collaborative skills and increasing their instructional knowledge. Parents see benefits like a more rigorous curriculum and increased communication with teachers. The presentation measures the success of co-teaching through student and parent surveys and analyzing academic growth.
The document discusses using technology to advance education. It notes that the traditional classroom model of teachers lecturing and students passively taking notes is outdated. Today, teachers use tools like PowerPoint and video to engage students. Technology has transformed society and students into a "Computer Generation" accustomed to learning through digital means. The integration of computers and the internet into classrooms has had profound positive effects on student learning. Technology allows for new teaching methods that trigger higher-order thinking skills.
This document discusses using technology to advance learning and education. It makes the following key points:
- The traditional classroom model of a teacher lecturing to passive students is outdated, as technology now allows for more engaging teaching methods. Teachers now use tools like PowerPoint and video to make lessons more interactive.
- Today's students have grown up with technology and are called the "Computer Generation." Society has become technologically advanced due to the internet, which has changed how people access information and services.
- Schools have significantly increased funding for integrating technology into classrooms over the last decade. The internet and computers have had profound positive effects on student learning and ability in the classroom.

Students perception toward teacher strategykylasamson1
This document summarizes a student research study on student perceptions of teacher strategies and the classroom environment. The study was conducted at Pedro Oloy N. Roa Sr. High School in Cagayan de Oro City. The researchers surveyed 180 randomly selected grade 10 and 11 students. The study aimed to determine if student perceptions were positive or negative, and if perceptions differed by gender or grade level. Results showed that student perceptions of teacher strategies and the classroom environment were overall positive. No significant differences were found between gender or grade level groups.
Connections: Current Trends. Challenges and Issues in EducationGintrah
The document discusses several topics related to secondary education including assessments, student mobility, technology integration, graduation rates, and literacy skills. It notes that standardized testing takes up too much time and affects low-income, minority, ESL, and disabled students the most by increasing retention and placement in remedial programs. Student mobility is also discussed as being disruptive to both mobile and non-mobile students. The document also talks about a virtual high school that helps at-risk students complete courses at their own pace through online learning. Obtaining a high school diploma and further education is presented as important for career and life success. Literacy skills are also highlighted as enabling better performance and lifelong learning.
The document discusses how teaching is a form of leadership. It argues that effective teaching requires everyday acts of leadership through building relationships, collaborating with others, conducting inquiry into student learning, and developing partnerships. It provides examples of how experienced teachers demonstrate leadership within their classrooms by teaching well to support all students, collaborating with colleagues, parents and communities, using inquiry to improve instruction, and leveraging resources through partnerships. Overall, the document promotes the idea that teaching is a leadership role that can transform students, schools and communities.

In an environment of compliancy laws, regulations, and standards, in.docxcharisellington63520
In an environment of compliancy laws, regulations, and standards, information technology (IT) departments in organizations must develop comprehensive organizational policies to support compliance. One specific area in which they must develop policies is the governance of fiduciary responsibility. Scenario: As changes occur in compliancy laws, regulations, and standards regularly, IT management of YieldMore has decided to evaluate the governance of fiduciary responsibility within the organization as it pertains to the IT department. Your team has been assigned the task of evaluating how the governance of fiduciary responsibility affects the organization’s risk. Tasks: You are asked to identify the relationship between fiduciary responsibility and organizational risk, and present this information to the IT management of YieldMore.
1. Identify key stakeholders, their roles and responsibilities, and the impact of fiduciary responsibility on each.
2. Determine the relationships among these stakeholders, the relationship between fiduciary responsibility, and organizational risk for each.
3. Distinguish the identified relationships as they relate to strategic, operational, and compliancy goals for the organization.
4. Develop an appropriate plan to govern fiduciary responsibility for the organization.
5. Prepare a report of your findings for IT management to review.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

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

Classroom Environment
Classroom Layout
Positive Behavior
Patick,Kaplan, Ryan (2011) state, “The environment of a classroom plays an important role in students' motivation, engagement, and achievement at school”(pg.1). The layout of a classroom can also affect a student’s behavior, concentration and attitudes toward learning. If the classroom is designed to promote positive collaborations, physical movement and accessible materials, students are able to take charge of their own learning.
Classroom Environment
The physical layout of the classroom promotes flexibility for movement and is important to student learning. According to Tomlinson (2013), students need to be able to change their seating arrangements and vantage points to keep them engaged in learning. The walls in classroom are utilized to reflect student work , projects and visuals are used throughout the room as rule reminders and choice menus. Bulletin boards and partition walls are also used to draw student attention to highlighted work and project examples that students may be currently working on.
Classroom Environment
The Furniture
All the furniture in the classroom including the desks, tables, bookshelves and supply cart are lightweight and movable to allow for easy access. The furniture is also made out of material that does not stain and is easy for students to wipe down after art activities. Since space is limited in my classroom moveable furniture enables me to create a larger space in the middle of the classroom. The larger space provides me an opportunity to differentiate my lessons in a different learning format. The students in my classroom have diverse learning styles and learning in different formats can promote increased student engagement.

My students and I consider my classroom a learning community. Part of being a community is to follow the rules to enable everyone to learn in a comfortable and respectful environment. My students and I design our community rules on the first day of school, each of my students can either write down a rule idea on a 3x5 card or they can raise their hand and tell me. I then put down all the rules on the whiteboard and once we have decided on appropriate rules, then they are posted in the front of the cla.
This document outlines the learning goals for a physical education unit on the game "Sharks and Minnows" for a kindergarten class. The three learning goals are:
1) Learn movement concepts and pathways while participating in games
2) Learn the rules of the game
3) Demonstrate appropriate interactions with others and space while playing
The unit aims to teach students new skills through organized play, explain the game rules verbally and through demonstration, and encourage teamwork and personal space through independent practice of the game.

What are the most important issues you currently face in ensuring all students achieve their potential?
Lack of parent involvement and help at home. Low income community. Deployment heavy. Teachers face extensive paperwork and strict guidelines that focus on state testing. These guidelines can take two weeks to go through lessons which can leave little time for additional help at the end of the year to catch up.
The amount and frequency of state mandated tests/assessments. Lack of parental support and the shortage of teachers. I have taught in classrooms with over 30 students and there are many substitutes filling classrooms.
I see similarities in the lack of parent support towards academics and the concern with state tests and guidelines.
How are you addressing these issues?
Limit amount of assignments that require parental assistance. Sending supplies home to complete assignments. Standing up for students and requesting modifications from higher for students that need additional help.
By reaching out to parents and trying to involve them in the classroom which can be difficult because many work multiple jobs and have multiple children in different grades. We try and help with homework during after school tutoring sessions which are mostly volunteers (teachers working late).
These are similar in that the teachers try and help students with homework in different ways like limiting assignments that require help and offering tutoring after school.
What role does technology play in classrooms to support teaching and learning?
There are great tech tools out there and it takes trying different tools out to see which enrich the students the most. Technology is not necessary but can be a great aide as kids are tech savvy.
It plays a huge role as it helps to keep students engaged , helps teachers present materials in different format and give children the opportunity to interact with technology they would not otherwise have at home.
I see a difference in teaching preferences as the first teacher sees technology as helpful but not necessary and the other who relies on it in their classroom.

The Quest to Learn classroom focuses on digital media and hands-on learning rather than traditional textbooks. Students use digital tools to design video games that teach core subjects. Assessments are integrated throughout the design process rather than standardized tests. While different than a traditional classroom, the Quest to Learn environment allows more active, personalized learning through collaboration, exploration, and tailored assessments.

A- Classroom Demographics
lowa the King Catholic School consists of approximately 240 students from pre-k to 8th grade. The kindergarten class, the classroom in which I observed, consists of 21 students. Students’ demographics are 15 white students, three African American students, one Asian student, and one Hispanic student. The classroom is managed by two teachers who are trained to deal with different ethnic groups. Because the school is a private school, most of the students represent middle to high levels of socioeconomic status.
The students’ behaviors in the kindergarten class are diverse. As students in the kindergarten class are a younger age, they normally are very active and teachers were very professional in dealing with them. The teachers always reminded the children of the rules of the class such as, “Don’t speak when the teacher is talking. Don’t answer questions until the teacher asks you to answer”. In addition, in the class, there is a leadership board and every day the teachers put one of the student’s name on the board to be the leader of the day. The leader’s job is to do the morning work such as set the date of the day, weather, and season on the smart board by getting help from the teachers and students. Also, some of the leader’s job is to organize the students’ line when they go to the restroom in the restroom times and when they go to the play area.
The teachers plan the lesson carefully to meet all students’ needs. They develop the curriculum to align with all students’ cultures and backgrounds. They print all of the vocabulary they teach students on cards and put them on the board. In addition, they put different books that are related to different cultures in the class library for students to read in the reading time.
B- Philosophy
From my point of view, most of the students’ problems and misbehaviors happen for a reason. Therefore, it is the teacher’s job to find out the reasons for the misbehaviors and teach the students the appropriate behaviors. The most effective way to prevent the misbehavior is to focus on replacing and teaching the positive behavior instead of eliminating it. the theory of Ibrahim Maslow supports this idea and shows that undesired behavior happens not because of a bad child, but because of the child is reaction when one or more of his/her basic needs are not being met. These needs include Knowledge and understanding, self-actualization, self-respect, belongingness and affection, safety and security, physiological needs. He suggests that to reduce child negative behavior, parents and teachers should work to meet the child’ needs.
Furthermore, I believe that teachers can create a productive and positive classroom atmosphere by conducting group activities to help students form good relationships with classmates and became familiar with other cultures and ethnicities. The theorist Rudolf Dreikurs also supports this idea. His th ...
DISCUSSION ISSUES ON DISPARITIES IN ACHIEVEMENTFatin Amira
This document discusses trends and issues in education for mathematical sciences. It begins by noting the consensus that educating children is key to economic development, but that rural-urban disparities in education performance remain a problem in developing countries despite government efforts. The document then examines differences in academic achievement between rural and urban students in Malaysia. It identifies family factors like parental education levels and encouragement, as well as teacher quality as influencing rural student performance. Effective teachers are described as loving teaching, demonstrating care for students, and having strong content knowledge.

The document then examines differences in academic achievement between rural and urban students in Malaysia. It identifies family factors like parental education levels and encouragement, as well as teacher quality as influencing rural student performance. Effective teachers are described as loving teaching, demonstrating care for students, and having strong content knowledge.
The document discusses co-teaching in kindergarten classrooms. It defines co-teaching as two or more teachers sharing teaching responsibilities within a general education classroom. The benefits of co-teaching include developing respect for differences, creating more opportunities for differentiated instruction, and increasing student achievement and pro-social behaviors. Teachers also benefit from co-teaching through developing collaborative skills and increasing their instructional knowledge. Parents see benefits like a more rigorous curriculum and increased communication with teachers. The presentation measures the success of co-teaching through student and parent surveys and analyzing academic growth.
The document discusses using technology to advance education. It notes that the traditional classroom model of teachers lecturing and students passively taking notes is outdated. Today, teachers use tools like PowerPoint and video to engage students. Technology has transformed society and students into a "Computer Generation" accustomed to learning through digital means. The integration of computers and the internet into classrooms has had profound positive effects on student learning. Technology allows for new teaching methods that trigger higher-order thinking skills.
This document discusses using technology to advance learning and education. It makes the following key points:
- The traditional classroom model of a teacher lecturing to passive students is outdated, as technology now allows for more engaging teaching methods. Teachers now use tools like PowerPoint and video to make lessons more interactive.
- Today's students have grown up with technology and are called the "Computer Generation." Society has become technologically advanced due to the internet, which has changed how people access information and services.
- Schools have significantly increased funding for integrating technology into classrooms over the last decade. The internet and computers have had profound positive effects on student learning and ability in the classroom.
- Technology enhances the quality of
Students perception toward teacher strategykylasamson1
This document summarizes a student research study on student perceptions of teacher strategies and the classroom environment. The study was conducted at Pedro Oloy N. Roa Sr. High School in Cagayan de Oro City. The researchers surveyed 180 randomly selected grade 10 and 11 students. The study aimed to determine if student perceptions were positive or negative, and if perceptions differed by gender or grade level. Results showed that student perceptions of teacher strategies and the classroom environment were overall positive. No significant differences were found between gender or grade level groups.
Connections: Current Trends. Challenges and Issues in EducationGintrah
The document discusses several topics related to secondary education including assessments, student mobility, technology integration, graduation rates, and literacy skills. It notes that standardized testing takes up too much time and affects low-income, minority, ESL, and disabled students the most by increasing retention and placement in remedial programs. Student mobility is also discussed as being disruptive to both mobile and non-mobile students. The document also talks about a virtual high school that helps at-risk students complete courses at their own pace through online learning. Obtaining a high school diploma and further education is presented as important for career and life success. Literacy skills are also highlighted as enabling better performance and lifelong learning.
The document discusses how teaching is a form of leadership. It argues that effective teaching requires everyday acts of leadership through building relationships, collaborating with others, conducting inquiry into student learning, and developing partnerships. It provides examples of how experienced teachers demonstrate leadership within their classrooms by teaching well to support all students, collaborating with colleagues, parents and communities, using inquiry to improve instruction, and leveraging resources through partnerships. Overall, the document promotes the idea that teaching is a leadership role that can transform students, schools and communities.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

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.

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which [who] is as dear to me as life itself;
But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all
Here to this devil [Shylock] to deliver [save] you.”
And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

Through the advent of social media, a thing known as "slactivism" has arisen. This is literally activism through social media and, despite such a negative label, researchers are finding that this actually works! Activism through the medium of social media is having a significant impact. This is just ONE example of many of not only a "mass behavior" but can also fit into all 4 categories of social movements. The individuals involved in this mass behavior/social behavior could easily be examined within the lens of the "contagion theory" as well as the "emergent-norm theory."

Key Issues Facing
Updated technology & equipment not always available,
especially for kindergarten.
New curriculum requires different style of teaching.
Sugarcreek Elementary School funds are allocated to schools
based on performance scores, which are difficult to improve
without updated technology, which in turn cannot be obtained
without an inflow of funds.
George Watts Elementary School, on the other hand, has
introduced a new curriculum which is currently being
implemented with some growing pains.
3. Role of Technology
Please refer above
Updated modern technology available
While George WattsElementary School integrates technology
into all of its lessons, Sugarcreek Elementary School is unable
to do so because of the lack of updated equipment.

Facilitators
One teachers viewed teachers as experts who were there to

teaching them how to connect the dots.
Changes in teaching
Rising use of technology
Rising use of technology
Both teachers listed the growing use of as one of the biggest
changes in the teaching discipline.
According to Ms. Taylor, the most important issue she faces in
ensuring that students reach their potential is the lack of funds –
4. on the part of the school, as well as on the part of parents. As
Sugarcreek Elementary is part of a relatively low income
neighborhood, many students are from families that are
struggling to make ends meet. The school is also short of funds
and is thus unable to provide for little beyond the core
educational curriculum. In such an uncertain economic climate,
children are not able to focus solely on learning. In an effort to
ameliorate these problems, Ms. Taylor ensures that her students
get at least two nutritious meals and snacks every day, and tries
to spend her time instilling a sense of confidence in them. Due
to a lack of funds, technology is not very well integrated into
lessons – an overhead slide projector is the only high-tech
equipment available on a regular basis (computers are a shared
resource for the entire school). Ms. Taylor believes that basic
math is the most important subject for her students, and she
identifies technology as the most important skill.
However, Ms.Terry from George Watts is dealing with a
different set of issues. Fortunately, economic deprivation is not
a part of her issues – her primary concern is ensuring that all
students are performing at a certain minimum level so that the
no child left behind policy can be followed in spirit. Ms. Terry
gives her students a number of informal tests to ensure that
their performance is at par, and tries to make every game into a
learning activity, and vice versa. Technology is very well
integrated into lessons as Smartboards are used in classrooms.
Ms. Terry believes that science is the most important subject for
her students, and like Ms. Taylor, she identifies technology as
the most important skill.
Both teachers are doing the best job they can with limited
resources, and in their situation, I believe that I too would do
the same thing regarding prioritization. However, in addition to
a focus on digital knowledge, I would also focus on knowledge
gained from books, as inculcating a reading habit from an early
age is an excellent way to develop verbal, reasoning and critical
thinking skills.

Classroom Environment
Classroom Layout
6. Positive Behavior
Patick,Kaplan, Ryan (2011) state, “The environment of a
classroom plays an important role in students' motivation,
engagement, and achievement at school”(pg.1). The layout of a
classroom can also affect a student’s behavior, concentration
and attitudes toward learning. If the classroom is designed to
promote positive collaborations, physical movement and
accessible materials, students are able to take charge of their
own learning.
Classroom Environment
The physical layout of the classroom promotes flexibility for
movement and is important to student learning. According to
Tomlinson (2013), students need to be able to change their
seating arrangements and vantage points to keep them engaged
in learning. The walls in classroom are utilized to reflect
student work , projects and visuals are used throughout the
room as rule reminders and choice menus. Bulletin boards and
partition walls are also used to draw student attention to
highlighted work and project examples that students may be
currently working on.
Classroom Environment
The Furniture
7. All the furniture in the classroom including the desks, tables,
bookshelves and supply cart are lightweight and movable to
allow for easy access. The furniture is also made out of material
that does not stain and is easy for students to wipe down after
art activities. Since space is limited in my classroom moveable
furniture enables me to create a larger space in the middle of
the classroom. The larger space provides me an opportunity to
differentiate my lessons in a different learning format. The
students in my classroom have diverse learning styles and
learning in different formats can promote increased student
engagement.
Positive Environment
Classroom Rules
Daily Schedule
Emotionally Safe Environment
Individual Differences
Behaviors modeled and displayed
A positive behavior environment includes, Class rules and
routines, an emotionally safe environment that values individual
differences, expected behaviors
Rules and Routine
�Students are Valued Member of the Community
�Rules are Posted and Discussed
�
�Class Routines are Posted
8. �
�Jobs are Assigned
My students and I consider my classroom a learning community.
Part of being a community is to follow the rules to enable
everyone to learn in a comfortable and respectful environment.
My students and I design our community rules on the first day
of school, each of my students can either write down a rule idea
on a 3x5 card or they can raise their hand and tell me. I then put
down all the rules on the whiteboard and once we have decided
on appropriate rules, then they are posted in the front of the
classroom as a reminder. Providing classroom visuals that list
what is expected and reminders of daily routine, enable my
students to manage themselves. Since my students are diverse in
their understanding and learning levels, answer options, are part
of my daily lessons. Some of my students suffer from anxiety in
speaking in front of other students, so by providing options for
them to answer, I am able to keep them engaged in the class
lesson.
Value Individual Differences
Acceptance of all cultures and Beliefs
As teachers it is important to understand our own beliefs and
attitudes about a students’ culture and make sure that
interactions with those students respect their beliefs and
customs (Beaty-O'Ferrall, Green, & Hanna, 2010).
As teachers it is important to understand our own beliefs and
attitudes about a students’ culture and make sure that
interactions with those students respect their beliefs and
9. customs. Model respect and understanding for students. Have
students share family history or information about their lives to
help students see the similarities
Emotionally Safe Environment
�Encourage Students to Express their Opinions without Fear of
Reprisal
Treat Students with Respect
�Expect Students to Respect Other Students Views and
Opinions
Get to Know Your Students
A study done by Garner, Moses and Waalid (2013) found that
teachers who get to know their students tend to form better
teacher-student relationships. They also promote how a teachers
conduct themselves in the classroom, such as their perceptions
of or their attitude toward their students contributes to the
effectiveness of the students learning as well as their attitudes
toward school and their peers.
Classroom Behaviors
�Model What Appropriate Behavior Looks Like
�Provide Individual Work Areas
�Positive Feedback
According to Parsonson (2012) students need to be taught what
is expected, but also what positive behavior looks like.
Students who struggle with classroom behaviors need positive
behaviors modeled and prompted. Positive feedback can enable
students to feel successful and to learn what is expected in the
classroom.
A classroom environment that promotes positive student
10. behavior entails a variety of strategies in order to enable all
students accomplish their goals.
Teacher and Student Success Strategies
�Student-Centered Environments
�Comfortable Surroundings
�Autonomous Learning Opportunities
�Provide Positive Feedback
�Reflect Student Work Throughout the Classroom
�Providie Spacefor Students to Work Independently or in
Groups
Teacher and student success depend on a collaborative, trusting
relationship based on respect and knowledge of students’
individual backgrounds and abilities. According to Strategies
such as student-centered classrooms, safe, comfortable
surroundings, autonomous learning opportunities, providing
positive feedback, displaying student work and providing
adequate work spaces all contribute to differentiating
instruction.

Summative Assessment
Introduction
This assessment will be based on the standards expected for
English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subjects. The Common Core State
Standard that will be assessed specifically will be the reading
12. standards for literature K-5 for grade 5 students.
Standards help to focus instruction each year and ensure that
students are exposed to the required range of text and tasks. In
particular the assessment is aimed at assessing the first four
goals of the standard (California Common Core Standards,
2010). These are: the student should accurately quote from a
text and when drawing conclusions from the text. The student
should be able to determine the theme, of a poem, drama or
story including how the characters responded to challenges, the
reflections of a speaker in a poem and summarize text.
Compare and contrast character settings in a drama or story by
pulling from specific details in the text. The last being to
determine the words and meaning of words and phrases as used
in a text including similes and metaphors among others.
Unit Goals
The four goals mentioned above will be measured in various
ways.
In the first goal, the student should be able to quote from a text
and draw conclusions from it. The students therefore should be
able to state what a character was saying in a given scene of a
drama for example with 80 percent accuracy. This is a call for
the development and test of a student to memorize and recall
facts as they were stated in the material under study. It is the
sort of goal that challenges a teacher to strive at ensuring the
students gain the required skill by using teaching methods that
cater for all sorts of learning styles in relation to individual
students.
The second goal was to ensure that a student can determine the
theme of a given text, can tell the challenges faced by a
character and summarize the text or the speaker's reflections. To
assess this, the student should be able to discuss these aspects
of a text given when asked to about 90% of what is expected.
The third goal was that the students should be able to compare
and contrast the character settings of a given text by drawing on
its specific details. The goal would be for the student to analyze
the different character settings come up with a logical
13. conclusion on their distinctions. They should be able to do this
with a 70% level of accuracy.
The last goal hopes to drive the teachers to make students learn
how to read in between the lines. Understanding of words
without prior knowledge of them is possible when you read it
within the context that it was used. Students can learn how to do
this by being given text with words that can be considered as
new vocabulary to the fifth grade age bracket. This would best
be done within an exam situation where they do not have the
luxury of referring elsewhere.
Since it is best to introduce as few words as possible to the
students so as not to frustrate them in learning, individual
assessment is not suitable in this situation. A good measure of
learning in this situation would be for the teacher to ensure that
at least 60% of the students have gained this skill at a level of
distinction.
Measurement of Mastery
Either one of the above goals will be measured by the use of a
written assignment. To measure if students can compare and
contrast between character settings of a given test, a drama to
be read will be given as homework. The required reading will
have characters who are faced with different situations and who
are forced into making different decisions based on these
situations.
The students should be able to evaluate these situations and
relate to how the characters felt when they were under these
circumstances. The deliverable for this assignment would be a
written report about the different character settings identified
and what the students liked or disliked about the decisions of
the characters. The assignment is designed to enable the student
learn about the rationale behind decision making and the art of
structuring your thoughts into a persuasive argument in support
for or against a given decision. It will also measure
comprehension skills. The student should have a score of not
less than 70%.
Formative Assessments
14. According to Black and William (2009), the purpose of a
formative assessment is not for the instructor to rank the
student's performance but to gauge how the method of teaching
resulted in the decide grasp of concept. The teacher using this
sort of assessment should observe the students, ask questions
and if possible get a genuine self assessment from them. He or
she should then go forth and use the data obtained from the self
assessment to come up with an improved method of instruction
for ensuring the concept is well grasped the next time it is
taught.
Formative assessments must take into consideration the various
ways in which our brains learn. We learn through our senses of
smell, touch, sight, taste and hearing. Different individuals
respond to the various senses differently and as a result this
influences how best we learn. It is from this point of view that
the three formative assessments will be structured.
The first assessment would be a classroom discussion involving
the whole class. In this lesson the teacher will write on the
board a question in relation to the previous lesson. For example,
if the previous lesson was on the different features of the poem,
an excerpt from a poem will be written on the board and
students will be provoked into discussing the poem. This
method of assessment will be based mainly on reading and
listening.
In the process, the instructor will get to know how much of the
previous lesson was understood and by what percentage of the
class. The teacher will also be able to assess the confidence the
students have in their knowledge from how they argue their
points and how they respond to questions from the teacher.
Depending on how the students engage in the classroom the
instructor will be able to proceed or go back to the previous
lesson with a new method of teaching.
The second assessment will involve students listening to an
audio of a recorded drama. Care will be taken to use a recording
with a good narrator and with the most catching sound effects.
The teacher will then ask the students questions about the
15. characters in the drama, the different situations the characters
were in, the theme of the drama and the general tone that the
author of the among several other things.
The aim of the above assessment would be to find out the effect
of the use of audio in instruction. Particular it will be used to
assess how students individually respond to this sort of learning
style. The teacher will ask the students who do not fair well in
reading based assignments most of the questions.
The last would be a classroom presentation in groups after
viewing a short animation of a given short story. The students
would be divided into groups that answer a specific question I
relation to the clip. The whole group would then go to the front
of the classroom with charts that show their responses.
Each individual in the group will be required to play their part
in the presentation. The aim of this exercise would be two
things: to observe the individual students during their group
discussion and the eventual presentation and to assess how they
respond to visual stimuli as opposed to audio or written
material. The data from the observations will be used to modify
future instruction in relation to group discussions and visual aid
in learning.
All in all, conclusions drawn from the three different lessons
will be incorporated into the future lesson plans of the teacher.
The different learning orientations tested in this context, that is,
reading, listening and visual instruction will then be used
occasionally depending on the resources available and the level
of difficulty of concepts to be taught. Students can also be
given individual attention depending on which method best suits
them according to the observations the teacher would have
made.
Conclusion
An instructor who is aware that different students have different
learning abilities and learning styles should ensure that he or
she keeps this in mind when making a lesson plan. Thus, lesson
plans are supposed to be guided by the common core state
standards for the particular subject, age and grade. Teachers
16. should be observant in each situation where they are instructing
students in order to ensure that they get as much data as
possible on whether learning is happening or not. They should
therefore come up with lesson plans in a thoughtful manner and
execute them with an equal level of attention. It is only through
such conscious teaching that students will get to university with
the desired level of proficiency in the various disciplines of
study.
