Personal Cultural Immersion Experience. This Paper is required to be 10-12 pages in length.  A requirement of CO/SA 547 is participation in a cross-cultural immersion experience designed by the student. The purpose of this field experience is to place the student into a cultural context with which the student has little or no experiential familiarity. While such an experience is ideally suited to a study-abroad experience, meaningful cross-cultural experiences may be created at the local level in one’s community.

written paper summarizing your immersion experiences and overall reactions is to be submitted. Your paper shall have a thesis statement, and background information pertaining to the culture studied. This paper is to be a minimum of 10 double spaced pages written in APA format. The cover page of this report does not count as one of the 10 pages of information. The paper is to have an introduction pertaining to the culture you elected to study (the reason you selected this culture to study, and some historical background).

Do not make the introduction section a term paper, remember the primary focus is the immersion experience. You are to present a list of dates you worked on this project. Each date is to have the activity you participated in and reactions to the activity. The paper is to have a conclusion with your reactions to this experience.

Benchmark – Lifelong Learner Professional Development Plan

/in /by

State-Research Beaufort South Carolina

As an educator, the learning process never stops. Once in the classroom, continuing to keep up with trends, research, and best practices is critical to excelling professionally. In addition, educators are required to obtain hours of professional development or continued education to maintain their teaching certificates long-term.

For this assignment, you will be outlining a lifelong learning plan for your own professional growth and development. Begin by researching your state’s professional growth and continuing education requirements for maintaining a teacher’s license.

Research local, state, and national organizations that offer professional development for early childhood educators. In your search, consider the ethical expectations of a teacher, the responsibilities of teachers to serve as advocates for the education of young children, and the importance of staying up-to-date on education related issues and current trends.

Create a 12-15 slide digital presentation for first year educators describing your ongoing professional development plan.

Include in your presentation the following:

  1. How early childhood professional development informs and enhances practice in order to maximize learning outcomes.
  2. A summary of themes from NAEYC professional standards and how they inform early childhood education.
  3. Apply theories from research that would promote professional practice within early childhood education.
  4. Examples of current professional development opportunities (webinars, conferences, workshops, courses, etc.) in the field of early childhood.
  5. Title slide, references slide, and detailed speaker’s notes.

Support your assignment with 3-5 scholarly references, one of which should be professional and ethical standards.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
