The coaching cycle

In the coaching cycle, the pre-conference sets the tone for the teacher coaching and development process. It is during the pre-conference that expectations are made clear and the details of the process are discussed. Thoughtful principals will prepare ahead of time for the pre-conference, to consider the unique needs of the teacher with whom they will be meeting.
In this topic’s field experience, you will be conducting a pre-conference with a special education teacher. Before the pre-conference, write a 500-750 word summary developing the following questions. For each question, describe the responses you would expect to receive from a special education teacher, and how you might coach that teacher during the pre- or post-conference.
What questions might you ask about their lessons (i.e., objectives, state standards being addressed, activities, assessments, and materials)? What questions might you ask that would provide you with information about the students’ IEPs, accommodations, specific disabilities, etc.
What questions might you ask to identify the teacher’s plan to differentiate instruction?
What questions might you ask to identify areas where the teacher believes students struggle, and how the teacher will address these areas?
What questions might you ask to determine the teacher’s understanding of students’ prior knowledge and how, if at all, it has guided the instructional planning for this lesson?
What questions might you ask to determine the teacher’s classroom management plan and any behavior intervention plans for individual students?

What does Sartre mean when he says “existence precedes essence”? Do you think this is a correct characterization of the human condition? Why or why not?
Do you agree that if “God does not exist, everything is permitted?” Why or why not?
In what sense is existentialism empowering, and in what sense is it burdensome, or even terrifying? Do you see yourself as an existentialist? Why or why not?

Frequently used probability distributions in biostatistics

In this module, you have learned about two of the most frequently used probability distributions in biostatistics: the binomial and normal distributions. The binomial distribution and the normal distribution are similar in several ways. In fact, under certain conditions, the normal distribution is used to approximate the binomial. For your initial post, discuss the following three questions. Provide examples of data that follow each distribution to help illustrate your points.
What are the basic differences between the two distributions?
Under what circumstances do you think it works well to approximate the binomial using the normal, considering the differences?
Under what public health or medical circumstances would it be helpful to identify the probability of an event? Provide some real-life examples.
