Problem Of The Match

/in /by

Problem of the Match

Note: This assignment has multiple parts.

  1. Choose an area of curriculum content in your building–maybe in your own classroom. Briefly describe the objectives, the content, the grade level, what is being taught in that content and whether you see the problem of the match as described by your authors on page 127 (see attached). If you determine there is a problem of the match, how would you change the curriculum to be ensured that there is a match between the learners’ developmental stages and the explicit curriculum?
  2. As you continue to evaluate the curriculum content you have chosen:
    • Can you identify the two important criteria reflected in the curriculum: (1) individual differences and (2) continuity in learning?
    • Does the curriculum reflect social and cultural changes that have occurred in recent years at each stage of human development? If so, how? (pp. 130-131) – (see attached).

Understanding Students’ Hierarchy of Needs:

  1. Using the chart below (see attched), how do you or other teachers in your building work to meet all students’ needs in each level through the curriculum?

For each of the following levels in the hierarchy (see the chart attached below), list ways in which teachers, school staff, or other students can help to meet all students’ needs in each level.

The chart which is attached below is adapted from Education, Child Development and Family Service (www.cteonline.org)

DUE IN 10 HOURS

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BUT YOU WILL FILL IN THE POWERPOINT SLIDES BASED ON WHAT IT ASKS YOU. MY DEGREE PROGRAM IS BACHELORS OF ARTS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION:

As you learned in the Iris Center module titled Universal Design for Learning: Creating a Learning Environment that Challenges and Engages All Students, assessment is one of the four key curricular components. Just like how we need to make the environments we design and the strategies we use to support children and adults with diverse needs inclusive and differentiated, we must also do so with the assessments we use. For your assignment this week, you will have the opportunity to learn more about inclusive and differentiate assessments and learning. This assignment will be differentiated based on your degree program. Please select the link below for your program to review your assignment directions.

Week 6 Final Paper Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)

/in /by

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK): This framework demonstrates the combination of content expertise, information delivery expertise (pedagogy), and instructional technology implementation all used to enhance learning.
As explained in your textbook, TPACK combines pedagogical knowledge, content knowledge, and technological knowledge to transform learning opportunities into student-centered opportunities for lesson engagement, global connections, and web interfacing through 21st century technology advancements. The TPACK framework demonstrates the interplay of three knowledge bases:

· Pedagogical Content Knowledge: This area is where most teachers have their foundation as a content expert who delivers knowledge using the foundations of pedagogy.

· Technological Content Knowledge: This area includes making content more accessible and differentiated through technology including graphing calculators, online language translators, and virtual world tours.

· Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: This area involves advanced learning processes through the use of technology that contribute to a wider variety of differentiated instructional opportunities including iPads that have text to speech programs, SMARTboard with text magnification, and online educational games that provide immediate feedback.

Assignment Instructions
Using the classroom environment and the demographics created in Week Two, the instructional strategies that align with the CCSS in the blog created in Week Three, the unit plan created in Week Four, and the summative assessment created in Week Five, you will create the framework for a TPACK lesson plan.

· Identify the following aspects of your lesson plan:

o Title: The title of your lesson.

o Grade level and basic class demographics.

o Anticipated Outcome (Lesson Objective): This must be measurable and written to align with the CCSS.

o Common Core State Standard: This can be from your Unit Plan.

o NETS-T standardPreview the document standard being met.

o Content Summary: A brief description of what you will teach for this lesson and why.

o Materials: Provide a list of materials needed for the lesson to include hyperlinks to any internet sites or books citations.

o Summative Assessment: This should be a two- to three-sentence summary of how you will assess the lesson.

· Your lesson plan must address each section of the TPACK using the provided lesson plan template (see sample herePreview the document):

o Pedagogical Content Knowledge: Explain which teaching strategies best address the lesson’s content and concept. Be sure to include how the lesson uses multiple intelligences to promote critical thinking and problem solving in an engaging learning environment. You must also clearly explain how the Common Core State Standard (CCSS) aligns with this section.

o Technological Content Knowledge: Explain how instructional technology will be used to compliment the lesson’s content. For example- a graphing calculator is used to check student’s algebra work or using spell check in a word document. You must also clearly explain how the CCSS and NETS standard(s) aligns with this section.

o Technological Pedagogical Knowledge: Explain how the instructional technology device(s) included in your lesson enhance student learning and classroom organization (such as online attendance and grading). You must also clearly explain how the NETS standard(s) aligns with this section.

· Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK):

o Analyze how your lesson integrates Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) to fully address TPACK in the creation of an engaging lesson that differentiates instruction, makes global connections through 21st century technological advancements, encourages critical thinking, and demonstrates content area expertise. The analysis will be at least two pages.

The assignment should be a minimum of four pages in length, not including the title and reference pages, and must include reference to the course text and two additional resources (scholarly article or online resource). The assignment must be cited in proper APA format. A title and reference page must be included.

Interpersonal Leadership Skills

/in /by

Overview:

This course requires 4 Case Study assignments.  In these papers, you will apply your model of statesmanship to a particular Public Administration context.

In this case study, you will apply the Statesmanship model you discussed in Module 1 to a real, specific public administration context.  What type of interpersonal skills are needed to effectively administer statesmanship in that context?  Remember to discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and covenant in your case study.

General Guidelines:

  • Case Study scenarios must be taken from documented (published) public administration contexts; no hypotheticals are allowed.  Students can focus on one particular public administration organization or may refer to a particular situation (well-documented by the research) that many public administrators face.
  • Integrate  Biblical principles in your case study discussion.
  • All ideas shared by the student must be supported with sound reason and citations from the required readings, presentations, and additional research.
  • The paper should be 4-5 pages of content in length (not counting the title page or references), double-spaced, and in APA format.
  • All required readings and presentations from the assigned module must be cited.
  • 3-5 additional sources must be used.  This need not be scholarly so long as they are provide relevant political and economic analysis of your chosen nation.  Wikipedia may not be used (though certainly the student is welcome to review its content), and informal blogs are not appropriate.

 

Reading & Study

  • A Biblical-Covenantal Perspective on Organizational Behavior & Leadership: Lessons 3 & 4
  • Article:  Developing Leaders in Public Affairs and Administration: Incorporating Emotional Intelligence Training into the Core Doctoral Leadership Course
  • Article:  Status and Power: The Principal Inputs to Influence for Public Managers
  • Article: Differences in Emotional Intelligence between Effective and Ineffective Leaders in the Public Sector: An Empirical Study

  • Article:  Transforming Municipal Boards into Accountable, High-Performing Teams: Toward a Diagnostic Model of Governing Board Effectiveness
  • Presentation: Motivation and Emotional Intelligence

    GENERAL COMMENTS—CASE 1

    Incorporate statesmanship model within case. Apply the model rather than just state it.

    Interpersonal skills of statesmanship applied to main character(s) in case., not just mentioned.

    Much of text is not supported by citations but opinion.

    Integrate Biblical principles within the analysis of the paper not just added at the end of case.

    Importance of emotional intelligence and covenant not just mentioned but analyzed as part of

    case.

    The case is not fabricated or an opinion of the student.

    There are no specific characters. The case is too general. Be specific about Mayor and Board of Alderman by name, their decisions, actions, etc.
