Part One: Lesson Plan
A.  Using the attached “WGU 5E Lesson Plan Template,” create an original elementary-level (K–6) lesson plan that incorporates a hands-on scientific experiment, investigation, or lab activity and includes the following:
•   one state (ILLINOIS) or national science standard, including the alphanumeric indicator code and the written standard
•   one measurable learning objective that aligns with the standard and includes the following required components:
–   condition
–   behavior
–   criterion
•   instructional strategies and learning tasks that address the 5 Es and support scientific inquiry
Part Two: Reflection
B.  Explain your rationale for using the hands-on scientific experiment, investigation, or lab activity from the lesson plan in part A, including the following:
1.  how it aligns with the learning objective
2.  how it supports student engagement
C.  Explain your rationale for using the summative assessment from the lesson plan in part A, including the following:
1.  how it aligns with the learning objective
2.  how you will use student outcomes to inform future instructional decisions
D.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

1. Describe four common challenges or misconceptions of early number concepts.What might you do to help students who struggle with these challenges?
2. When teaching addition and subtraction, what are some important ideas for teachers to consider?

In
4500 words, you will be expected to examine the opportunities and challenges a
country faces when education, globalisation and social justice collide. You
will pick a country (other than your home country) to explore how globalisation
has impacted their education system. You are to explore this issue from a
perspective of an underrepresented or marginalized community (a list has been
provided to you).
STEP
ONE: Pick One Country that IS NOT YOUR HOME COUNTRY.
STEP
TWO: Pick 1 from the list of 6 options below:
Examples
of Underrepresented and Marginalized Groups
1.
Ethnic Groups/Minorities
2.
Women and Girls
4.
Immigrants, Refugees and Migrants
5.
Mentally Ill
6.
People of Differing Religions
STEP
THREE: Your reflective case study is to examine the impact of globalization on
one of these underrepresented
or marginalized groups.

1)using the post observation conference with my field supervisor, pinpoint 2 specific areas of strength and two areas for improvement related to your instruction and delivery skills. ** in other words what I do well and what do I need to improve as related to my teaching? ** what is one area on which I received feedback? in my language skills
*** What I plan to improve moving forward? I will take English classes to improve my communication skills after I completed my master.

Description/Focus:
From a choice of given scenarios students will write a response drawing from three developmental themes to explain the behaviour and justify their response to the scenario.
This is a rich task where the scenarios require participants to reflect upon their practicum or other experiences to select one that is familiar. Knowledge and understanding of research into how students learn that has been covered in the course is to be linked in a practical way to the scenario. The sociocultural underpinnings of learning that have been explored in the previous assessment will also inform the response. This will be explained and analysed in light of three aspects of child and adolescent development, and these will be then used to inform and justify a proposed response from the teacher.
Scenario
Choose one scenario below and develop your response that draws on at least three of the themes, or subthemes, in this course e.g.
Cognitive development
Moral development
Memory
Intelligence
Language acquisition
Social and emotional well-being
Physical development, sex difference and gender roles
Family, peers, media and schooling.
You may modify the scenario to explore an area of particular interest, such as ADHD, FASD, gender identity, for example.
I have selected Cognitive Development, Social/Emotional Well-Being and Famil Peers, Media and Schooling.
The scenario I have picked which is what it needs to be linked to
Scenario 1: 
Kyla is eight years old. She is often late for school, she is sleepy in class and often doesn’t seem to comprehend what is being said. She never finishes any class activities. Other students think she is weird, and say she has irregular features.
Have also attached assessment rubric, in what the teacher is looking for. 

I have worked as a Learning Support Educator for the past four years, mainly with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I have experienced many challenges and issues, mostly from teachers who do not differentiate their teaching so that students with ASD can be included in mainstream education. Some teachers do not believe ASD students may need an adaptive curriculum rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy. The main aim of this study is to describe how children with autism spectrum disorder are included or to what extent these students are included in the mainstream classroom, any possible barriers that children could face and what strategies and resources are used for effective inclusion.
This study will debate how children with ASD are included or to what extent they are included during class and social activities. Children with autism, particularly those with challenging behaviour, are still not fully included in our education system. Moreover, this study will also focus on the barriers children with ASD face in mainstream schools and practical strategies teachers should implement for successful inclusion.
Literature Review – Methodology explanation: In theory, at master’s level, when writing a methodology, you should address all aspects of the research onion, not simply the chosen research tools. Methodology used is qualitative research using the research onion to explain how to arrive for the conclusion of using – interviews and observations.
Questions to be asked during interview to – SMT, Class teacher and LSE (learning support educator)

Social Policy Project Guidelines
For this project, students will choose a social
policy/program that affects children, adolescents, and/or families and
summarize, analyze, and provide recommendations for extensions/ amendments to
the policy. Ideally, the policy/program will link to the service learning
placement site in which the student is enrolled; however, this is not required.
The project will 1) summarize the program/policy, 2) report previous research
findings related to the efficacy of the current policy/program, 3) using
qualitative/anecdotal data from the service learning experience and required
course novels, analyze and critique the current policy/program, 4) provide
recommendations for ways to either extend the current policy/program or amend
it, and 5) identify challenges for implementing this policy/program in the
current social climate.
Final Paper. Students will write and submit an 8 – 10 paged,
double-spaced paper on their project. Papers should be in APA format (7th
edition), with at least 5 references provided. Three of these references should
be peer-reviewed research articles. Per APA formatting, provide a title page, use
in-text citations, and use the following headings for the paper in line with
the sections described above:
Summary of the Current Policy/Program (0.5 – 1
page)
Summarize
the current policy/program, including the history that influenced it
and, if
applicable, the evolution of the policy; how it operates in terms of funding;
and the population it targets.
Research on the Current Policy/Program (1 – 1.5
pages)
Provide a brief literature review
using in-text citations for the research related to
the effects of the social policy and/or the efficacy of the
program in question.
Analysis/Critique of the Current Policy/Program
(2-3 paragraphs)
Provide an analysis/critique
of the current policy/program, citing personal experiences from your service
learning site, background, development, work, and readings from the course.
Recommendations (2 – 3 pages)
Propose recommendations for change
to the current program/policy. You should
include
detailed information on the changes, rationale for the changes (the best way to
do this is to cite research showing how this change has been effective for
other programs, policies, populations, etc.), how you propose to obtain/funnel
funding for the changes, and how you will address the way(s) in which history
has influenced the current policy/program.
Challenges (1 – 2 pages)
Identify challenges you foresee in
implementing your new policy/program. In
class, we have discussed several (e.g., making programs
accessible, avoiding
discrimination/targeting marginalized groups for negative
consequences,
underlying values of the U.S. mainstream culture). Provide
suggestions on how
you might address these challenges.
The page limits
listed in parantheses are suggestions/guidelines and do not
have to be strictly followed; however, you should plan to make the
“Recommendations” and “Challenges” sections the focus of the paper. The 8 – 10 overall
page limit should not include the title page or references section. Writing
mechanisms (i.e., spelling/grammar) will be graded in addition to content.

Discuss how you will foster a safe and welcoming classroom environment where students feel they belong and that it is safe to communicate their needs. Include how you will do this at the beginning of and throughout the year.
