Assessment Description
Educators continuously explore approaches to instruction that support adolescents’ physical, cognitive, or socioemotional growth. This awareness guides lesson preparation by understanding the unique challenges adolescents face related to classroom learning.
This two-part assignment will provide students with an introduction to basic facts about the brain including brain function, anatomy, imaging, and stages of cognitive development.
Part 1: 5 Brain Facts
Based on the readings in Topic 2, create an annotated list of 5 Things Every Educator Should Know about the Adolescent Brain.” Include 5 statements – brain facts that assess developmental characteristics of adolescent behaviors. Follow each statement with a 50-100 word paragraph describing how each fact affects learning or brain development that promotes growth for students with physical, cognitive, or socioemotional needs. Provide at least one scholarly resource for each statement.
Example:
Fact: The amygdala is the brain’s emotional control center.
The amygdala regulates the brain’s response to emotions such as fear, excitement, and pleasure.   As part of the brain’s limbic system, it is located next to the hippocampus – the part of the brain that plays a significant role in converting information from working memory to long-term memory.   Exposure to long-term stress has been found to cause damage to the amygdala which may account for why some students, particularly those from poverty, struggle to regulate their emotions and behavior (Lau, et al., 2016).
Part 2:  Reflection
Select two of the facts from your Top 5 list, and in 250-500 words, reflect on and describe ways in which the brain affects learning, constructs knowledge, acquires skills, and develops thinking processes. Be sure to describe opportunities to improve instructional practice and facilitate student learning with the use of technology.
Submit your Top 5 brain facts and reflection as one deliverable.
Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

For this project you will be required to select a personal behavior change and write a 1000 word essay. Please remember: weight loss is NOT a behavior change; it is the result of one or more changes. Therefore, weight loss is not an appropriate topic for this assignment. The essay must include an Introduction paragraph, Body and Conclusion paragraph with a minimum of 3 references from peer-reviewed database articles. Unfamiliar with peer-reviewed research articles? Click on What Does Peer-Reviewed Mean in this module. To find peer-reviewed research, click on Library / Databases in this module, then click on Search the Databases.

Grades K-5
The building enrollment is 545 students. Grades K-2 have 80 students for each grade; the student-teacher ratio to be maintained for each grade is 20:1. Grade 3 has 92 students, grade 4 has 96 students, and grade 5 has 117 students. The student-teacher ratio to be maintained at the grades 3-5 level is 25:1. This will give you the number of teachers you will need for the regular education classes. Also take into consideration for your building one special subject teacher for each of the following: art, music, and physical education. In addition, budget for three special education teachers and a guidance counselor as well.
Grades 6-8
The building enrollment is 565 students. Grade 6 has 210 students, grade 7 has 174, and grade 8 has 181. To determine the number of homeroom teachers required, use a ratio of 25:1. Also keep in mind that some homeroom coverage may be done by special area teachers as well. Apply the subject areas you have in your own school, the major categories being language arts, math, social studies, science, world language, art, physical education, etc. In addition, budget for three special education teachers and a guidance counselor.
Grades 9-12 (could be the whole school or a department)
The total building enrollment is 2122, and the department enrollment is 150. Assuming you are currently in a high school, you can apply your personal experience to the development of the budget. You must maintain a student-teacher ratio of no greater than 25:1. In addition, budget for three special education teachers and a guidance counselor.
Common Assumptions for All Three Grade Configurations
Below are common assumptions for all three grade configurations in preparing the budget:
Math and science textbooks are being replaced at a cost of $100 each for all grades. 2. Professional development is $100 per teacher in your building or department.
Student supplies should be allocated at $100 per student.
Secretarial salaries should be $30,000, and there should be one secretary for every 250 students (K-8) and one secretary for every 500 students (high school). Teacher salaries used should be the average salary found on your district report card.
Administrator’s salary should also be the average from the district report card.
Include a nurse per building and use the average teacher’s salary.
Miscellaneous expense (Other Objects): Assume $50 per student regular education. For guidance and the nurse’s section, assume $10 per student. For the principal’s office, assume $25 per student.
Supplies for the guidance office, nurse’s office, and principal’s office should be the same as the miscellaneous expense.
Professional development for the guidance, nurse’s, and principal’s accounts should be the equivalent of one overnight conference at a total of $500.
– Create the budget using a spreadsheet style. – 5 Slide PPT presentation – Provide notes/explanations that may be necessary to do a presentation. – Provide a legitimte resource (2)

Title I Federal Funds and ESA funds – Each candidate will determine the total amount of Tile I Funding and ESA (formally NSLA) funds that are spent in their school. Candidate will breakdown the amounts in each category as to how they are spent  (personnel, materials and supplies, technology, professional development,  etc.) The explanation of how these funds are used to improve student achievement will be explained in narrative format. A table or spreadsheet showing the amounts should be included. Also do a reflection paragraph on how this relates to Standard 6.1, 6.3
Standard 6.1 
Program completers understand and demonstrate the capacity to
evaluate, develop, and implement management, communication, technology, school-level governance,
and operation systems that support each student’s learning needs and promote the mission and vision of
the school.
Standard 6.3 
Program completers understand and demonstrate the capacity to
reflectively evaluate, communicate about, and implement laws, rights, policies, and regulations to
promote student and adult success and well-being.
