    Good morning!
    I enjoyed what you shared about your background and your passion for education, particularly in addressing the need for more educators of color and culturally responsive teaching practices. Your personal experiences have deeply influenced your approach to curriculum development and teaching.
    Your understanding of curriculum aligns with holistic perspectives that emphasize the importance of considering all aspects of students’ experiences, including their cultural backgrounds, in education. By integrating culturally responsive teaching practices into the middle school science curriculum, you are taking a proactive step towards creating an inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and empowered to succeed.
    Including culturally responsive teaching practices in science education is crucial for promoting equity and addressing disparities in student engagement and learning outcomes. By acknowledging and addressing issues such as lack of racial representation and differential treatment based on race, you are working towards creating a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all students.
    I commend your commitment to fostering culturally equitable instruction and look forward to seeing the positive impact of your curriculum change plan in middle school science education. Your dedication to educating the whole person and promoting equity in education is commendable and inspiring.

    Good morning!
    From reading your curriculum change plan focusing on students with learning disabilities in mathematics, particularly in grades 4th to 8th, is both important and timely. It’s evident that your personal experiences and dedication to inclusive education have shaped your approach to addressing the needs of these students.
    Being able to identify learning disabilities in math at an appropriate time is indeed crucial, as early intervention can significantly impact a student’s academic progress and overall well-being. Your awareness of this issue and your commitment to supporting these students through tailored interventions are commendable.
    The challenges you may encounter, such as determining the point at which a student fell behind and the extent of their learning gaps, are certainly significant. However, your willingness to address these challenges head-on and provide the necessary tools and support for students to build confidence and grasp concepts is commendable.
    Your understanding of curriculum as a tool for social and cultural justice resonates deeply with the goals of your change plan. By advocating for a curriculum that recognizes and accommodates the diverse learning needs of students with disabilities, you are promoting equity and ensuring that every child has access to a quality education.
    The integration of biblical principles, such as the idea of embracing diverse ways of thinking and utilizing our gifts to do good in the world, adds depth and purpose to your approach. Your commitment to creating an inclusive learning environment guided by principles of acceptance and transformation is truly inspiring.
    Overall, your curriculum change plan reflects a deep understanding of the needs of students with learning disabilities and a commitment to fostering their academic growth and success. I commend your dedication to inclusive education and wish you success in implementing your change plan.

    Functionalist Theory & Conflict Theory – For each question, your answer should be 3-5 paragraphs.

Discuss three points or ideas the Functionalists use to explain the purposes of education in society. Another way to think about this is – Discuss three reasons the Functionalists offer to explain how schools help sustain societies over time.

If it’s useful, you can discuss these four points or ideas as critiques of Functionalists’ ideas.
    4. Conflict Theorists also claim that schools function to help maintain society over time. Discuss four points or ideas the Conflict Theorists use to explain the purposes of education in society.

  • “Uncovering the Missing Elements of Engagement: A Reflection on a Year 1 History Lesson”

    Students will begin by reflecting on their professional experience/classroom observation(s). In this reflection, students will discuss the engagement or lack of engagement that they witnessed and the reasons for this. Students should make specific reference to observations where high cognitive, high operative, and/ or high affective engagement was seen or where these could have been implemented or improved. Students should refer to the subject texts and other relevant academic literature when writing this reflection.
    You need to write me a reflection which you can makeup, I will give you some background about the class. It was a year 1 class, and the teacher was teaching the students history, the topic being ‘Past in the Present’. The focus of the lesson was about family, and how family life has changed over time. The teacher just kept talking and then assigned the students to draw a picture of their family in the science journal. There was no discussion among the students
    So the lesson was not engaging where most children just dozed off and you could tell were not listening any more. You need to focus on the lack of engagement and make reference to high cognitive, high operative and high affective engagement. You are basically making it up. But you need to make reference to academic theory which is peer reviewed and also to the MeE framework which I will attack. Please make sure the writing is of academic standard .
    This is what I will be looking for:
    Reflection is
    insightful and
    accurate displaying
    an extensive
    knowledge of the
    factors impacting
    students
    engagement and
    how these can be
    practically applied
    in the classroom.
    Reflection includes
    exemplary
    integration between
    practical
    observations and
    academic literature
