    There are links to 5 videos that need to be watched. You will have to watch each video and rate the lesson in two of the domain subcomponents (ie. 2c, 3d).

Length should be at least half a page for each subcomponent, single-spaced, times new roman, 12pt for each video. There is an example of what’s expected to help guide you.

  • Title: Using Data to Inform Next Steps for Instruction: A Case Study Analysis

    For the assignment, candidates select a previously given assessment(s) and use the data from the assessment(s) to determine next steps for instruction for each student. The data may be summative; such as a comprehensive assessment, a state assessment, a lab report, or a project; or may be formative, such as an independent reading record, observations, or a short quiz given to inform instruction. As candidates analyze the data they should address questions such as:
    Given this data point, which students “got it,” which students “kind of got it,” and which students “didn’t get it at all?”
    Would all students falling into these categories benefit from the same intervention or do they have different needs/skill sets/gaps that would require different interventions?
    What research-based instructional strategies, enrichments, or interventions would be best for each group or individual student?
    Candidates will create and submit a multi-page pdf document (minimum 3 pages, excluding data tables and graphs) that includes the following, in this order:
    1. The targeted TEKS or Prekindergarten Guideline(s)
    Note: If you teach in a Special Education Self-Contained classroom, you may use the targeted IEP goal(s) where appropriate.
    2. A descriiption (include the actual assessment if it will add clarification) of the assessment given
    3. The method used for collecting and scoring the data,
    4. A table, chart, or other graphic displaying the data
    5. A descriiptive analysis of the data for all students in the class, and,
    6. Next steps for instruction using research-based strategies that address the following
    How will you use your knowledge of your students’ assets to inform your plans?
    What instructional strategies, learning tasks, and/or assessments will you design to support student learning?
    How is the teaching you propose supported by research and theory about how students learn?
    Further Requirements
    Specific attention should be given to the needs of all students identified as Special Education, 504, Gifted and Talented, English learner, etc. Your class analysis MUST include masking procedures for each student. Use “Student A”, “Student B”, etc. Students who participate in the special education program should also be identified with their qualifying condition; for example, “Student C – LD”. **NOTE: LACK OF PRIVACY ENHANCEMENTS IS AN AUTOMATIC ZERO FOR THE PROJECT.**
    Candidates should be specific and clear of the next steps addressing each student either individually or in small groups based on the data analysis. Finally, your paper must follow professional guidelines. This is scored on the rubric as well. Your paper should be written following these guidelines:
    One-inch margins
    Space and a half or double space
    Times New Roman 12 pt. font
    No obvious spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
    At least 3 pages, excluding data tables and/or graphs

  • Title: Understanding the Scientific Method in Educational Research: An Outline and Explanation

    The scientific method is the foundational approach for rigorous empirical investigation and needs to be thoroughly understood prior to embarking upon a choice of research methodology or the overall design of an educational research study. Different types of research across research methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods) and across research paradigms (post-positivist, interpretivist/constructivist, transformative, and pragmatic) all require adherence to this method.
    Your assignment should include an outline and a brief essay. For help with an outline, check out the link in this week’s resources.
    Create an outline of the steps involved in conducting a research study (1-2 pages). This outline of the steps that codify the principles and conventions involved in conducting research should be an expanded list based on the four broad steps illustrated in Figure 2 in the week’s lesson.
    Compose a short, explanatory essay explaining the role of the scientific method in conducting research (1 page).
    Length: 1-2 page outline and 1-page essay uploaded as one Word document
    References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources that are cited within the text and referenced at the end of the document in APA style.

  • Title: The Impact of Culture on Education: Lessons from “The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down”

    Part I – 
    Prior to responding complete your reading of The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down 
    After reading the story indicate ways in which culture affected the family’s relationship with society and specifically their child’s medical treatment. Discuss who was right and/or wrong in their attitudes and behavior? Explain and justify your conclusions? What was your reaction to the book and did you find it to be a meaningful read? Are there any other books you might recommend to broaden people’s cultural sensitivities? (I want to expand my own reading list.)
    Part II – 
    Clearly culture affects all aspects of the way a person interacts with society, which must include the interactions between children, their parents and school leadership.  Hopefully by reading our textbook, you have read examples of the interactions between cultural influences, societal institutions, and how easy it is for miscommunication and tradition to create obstacles to a successful integration of immigrants into our society. While The Spirit focuses on medical treatment, a variety of other issues affecting your students can be identified.
    As a teacher especially in the New York Metropolitan area you will come across a diverse student population. According to some statistics there are over 1,000,000 students attending New York City schools and the surrounding areas, of which some 40% live in a household in which the parents speak a language other than English. Among languages spoken we can include: Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Urdu, Persian, Hindi, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Korean, and Arabic. As such, you can easily see that a teacher must be prepared for students whose traditions and cultures may be very different than those of other students in your class and even yours. 
    Key concerns to address in your essay both specific to A Spirit Catches You… and in the course readings to date: 
    Basic conflicts that you were able to identify, others you identified in previous assignments and how it impacts on children, authorities such as teachers, administrators, physicians, and other social service providers and the family? 
    Takeaways that you are left with after reading the book that can inform you as a citizen and a teacher, knowing how diverse your students may be?  
    Please reach out to teachers and other educators and identify ways in which they may have encountered the clash between culture and school rules and procedures. Please try to identify any issues that may relate to the communication between students and teachers and the development of English language literacy skills.  
    To what degree are there specifics points of conflict between one’s culture and school requirements and expectations?
    Compounding factors such as language. (See attached video.) 
    (You must use additional articles to support your response and provide citations.) 
    Part III –
    Describe classroom strategies you would use to ensure an atmosphere of respect for each other regardless of background, religion, race, ethnicity, and culture. In other words, what kinds of activities would be happening and what kind of classroom environment would characterize Culturally Responsive Teaching?
