Planning 21st Century Professional Development

/in /by

As an instructional leader within your school, you are charged with planning professional development opportunities for the faculty with cultural relevancy and technology infusion.

Using the Planning 21st Century Professional Development Template, design a choice menu for faculty professional development. Review the InTASC and ISTE-T standards regarding the aligned standards listed in the Planning 21st Century Professional Development Template. Provide one professional development opportunity per listed standard or aligned objective, so teachers can grow professionally and stay relevant in the globally-minded 21st century.

Then list one strategy for sustaining on-going support related to each of the professional development opportunities listed on the Planning 21st Century Professional Development Template.

In conclusion, write a 250-500 word reflection addressing how the professional development opportunities and on-going support strategies you listed:

Develop self-direction;
Ownership of learning; and
Self-reflection of the faculty.

Submit the Planning 21st Century Professional Development Template and your reflection as one deliverable.

This reading synthesis should be based on two readings that you choose from all available readings and should include three sections:
(1) citation, keywords, and summary for article #1,
(2) citation, keywords, and summary for article #2, and
(3) your reflections on how the two papers relate to one another.
The citation should be in APA format. If you need an APA refresher,
.
The keywords should be a list of 3-5 words or phrases related to the main content of the reading (e.g. pest control, bee diversity, cover crop management).
The summary can be written in bullet points or full sentences, should be page long, and should include items like research questions, location, methods, and management recommendations.
The reflection should (a) comment on how the two articles relate to one another in terms of content and methodology, (b) include questions or ideas the readings sparked for you, and (c) be ~1 page long.
Reading syntheses will be graded based on completeness of the summaries and thoughtfulness of the reflection section.

Spectacles, Science and Stereotypes: Primitive Others’ on Display

/in /by

I am being asked to produce a final paper entitled Spectacles, Science and Stereotypes: Primitive Others’ on Display as an opportunity to demonstrate how much I have learned through the semester. This is not an assignment requiring exploration of new materials but a writing that can utilize the variety of sources drawn upon through the semester. From professor: As you reflect, you should realize you’ve been offered an extended introduction to the West and its Others, exploring through text and the visual and plastic arts, the representations of the Other or the Stranger. We began with tales of unusual men and women in classical sources, and continued reviewing their representation and others with social and political consequences of imagining some people as others.’ You were made familiar with medieval and Renaissance visual and textual treatments of others in Europe and from newly discovered unknown lands in Africa, Asia and the Americas. And we explored early attempts to put Others on display for entertainment or scientific’ or ethnographic knowledge culminating in the creation of human zoos in the United States and Europe in the Gilded Age. We attempted to understand how human zoos related to different historical approaches to the study of the racism, genocide and mass murder and how these presentations of others’ have shaped twentieth-century national identities.

Early Development Case Intervention Analysis

/in /by

Create and analyze a 12-page simulated case study of an infant or toddler with developmental challenges and who shows evidence of factors that affect development. Then, create a 57-page intervention plan based on evidence-based strategies that have proven effective in similar cases and make projections for possible long-term impacts of the child’s current challenges.

Part 1: Create the Case Create a simulated case study, relevant to your area of specialization, of an infant or toddler (birth to 24 months of age) who presents developmental challenges related to factors described by Bowlby’s attachment theory. Your case study should be 12 pages in length and it should describe: The infant or toddler and his or her strengths and challenges. The medical, family, and social context. The developmental challenges evident in the behavior of the infant or toddler. Evidence in the case that supports a specific attachment style. Contextual factors that could affect the infant’s or toddler’s development in the area you selected for consideration. Individual and cultural factors that theory and/or research indicate could impact the infant’s or toddler’s development. Any other factors you deem appropriate based on your understanding of the theory and related research. To develop this case, you should: Explore theory and research based on Bowlbys attachment theory and related to the area of development you selected as the focus of the case. Identify attachment styles in general and analyze a specific attachment style for the case you are developing. Locate and read current research on prenatal and infant development to describe potential outcomes linked to development in infancy or toddlerhood, including important considerations in the case you are developing.
Follow current APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources. Include a reference list of the scholarly resources you consulted.

Part 2: Early Development Case Intervention Analysis Research Complete the following: Research evidence-based interventions that have been effective in meeting the challenges of the infant or toddler you described in your case study, from the perspective of your own professional specialization (as far as possible). Explain how the deficits in developmental domains or environmental contexts impacted functioning. State the recommended interventions that align with your specialization. Include evidence for those outcomes from the professional literature. Explore briefly the literature on adult attachment issues, considering that early influences can impact development across the lifespan. Explain, from the perspective of your specialization, how the attachment style of the infant or toddler could be manifested as an adult. Explain how this might help in understanding and determining an approach to working with an adult with attachment-related issues.
