Explain how applying UDL principles in the educational setting responds to the needs of all students,

/in /by

Many districts use Response to Intervention (RTI) programs and  multi-tier system of support (MTSS) to establish programs that meet many  different needs in one setting. Teachers must learn about  evidenced-based practices to make decisions about instruction.

Universal  Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to guide evidence-based  instructional delivery and practices. Data from tiered support systems  such as RTI and MTSS help to steer the UDL framework.

After  reading the Universal Design in Education tutorial, and conducting  research on UDL, compose a 100-150 word short answer response to each of  the following prompts:

1. Explain how applying UDL  principles in the educational setting responds to the needs of all  students, including students with disabilities. Describe the UDL  guidelines of engagement, representation, action, and expression.

2. Describe  three specific UDL instructional approaches or adaptations that  teachers may utilize to enhance the success of students with and without  disabilities.

3. Discuss, with specific examples, how UDL could influence instructional practice.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Social Studies Differentiation Plan

/in /by

Differentiation and modifications are an important component of preparing lesson plans that utilize strategies and resources aimed at identified student learning goals. It guides the teacher in creating differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of all students.

Part 1: Template

For this assignment, use the lesson plan information you have already been working with (including any revisions you would like to make) to complete the “Social Studies Differentiation” template that includes:

  • Social Studies and the arts standards and grade level
  • Learning objectives
  • 100-150 word description of the learning activity that integrates social studies and the arts
  • Instructional strategy
  • Using the “Class Profile,” select three students who are performing below or above grade level (at least one of each) and complete the template, describing how you will differentiate the instruction and assessment for the students.
  • Formative Assessment

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on the process of designing an activity that integrates both social studies and the arts, along with how the questioning strategies and differentiation techniques help enhance your learning activity. How can you collaborate with and incorporate the input, contributions, and knowledge of families, colleagues, and other professionals in order to meet the diverse needs of students?

Support your findings with at least two 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.

Application: Artifact—Logic Model

According to Patti (2009), “The logical model approach helps to ensure that all aspects of a human services program are in alignment, beginning with the motivation for the program, and continuing through to the outcome measure for the program” (pp. 346–347). In essence, a logic model clearly outlines a trail of choices and events in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of human services programs. In HUMN 4003, you had the opportunity to develop a basic logic model (Week 4) for a case study you selected based on the guidelines from Chapter 8 in the course text, Measuring Effectiveness of Human Services Delivery. Use this model to consider any insights you had or conclusions you drew as a result of developing it.

For this Assignment, you locate the following Assignment from HUMN 4003: Measuring Effectiveness of Human Service Delivery: Designing a Logic Model. Review the logic model you developed and revise it based on the information you learned about the agency you selected.

To Prepare for this Assignment:

  • Locate the following Assignment from HUMN 4003: Measuring Effectiveness of Human Service Delivery.
  • Think about the case study you used for that Assignment, and your process of developing the logic model. What were the starting points (e.g., based in social problems or community needs)? The ending points (i.e., a specific outcome)?  What kind of approach did you take? Why did you make the choices you did?
  • Review the Instructor’s feedback from this Assignment, and revise the document as necessary based on the information that you learned about the agency you selected.

The Assignment:

Submit by Day 7 a 2-page document that includes your logic model artifact and your rationale for your logic model artifact.

  • Design your logic model for inclusion in your portfolio.
  • Analyze your logic model in relation to human services practice using the Rationale Template Guide provided in this week’s Learning Resources for inclusion in your portfolio.
  • Be sure documents are clean and free of any “track-changes” mark-ups.

Understanding Action Research [WLO: 1, 2][CLO: 1]

/in /by

In your introduction post, you had the chance to start thinking about what inspires you as an early childhood professional to lead and create change. In this course, you will embark on a journey in which you will design your own action research proposal. Each week, your assignment will contribute to your Final Project, and you will have opportunities to revise and refine your work along the way to strengthen your Final Action Research Proposal. Essentially, you will use a “hands-on” approach to learning about action research as you build your own proposal and learn about each component. Of course, your instructor is aware that you are new to the action research process – you are not expected to be an action research expert yet, but by the end of the class you will be amazed at what you were able to accomplish and learn about action research in six weeks. While you are not required to implement the action research in the program, you may find that you want to make a positive difference by enacting your study in your setting someday.

Before you get started on designing your own action research study, you need to understand the basics of action research, how it differs from traditional action research, and why this approach to research can add value to your practices as an early childhood professional. You also need to understand the ways action research can support positive outcomes for your young children and their families. To prepare for this discussion, please read Chapter 1 of the Mills (2014) textbook and the Action Research Document (Links to an external site.). Please also watch the Action Research in the Classroom Part 1 (Links to an external site.) video.

Based on what you have learned from these sources, please respond to the following:

  • Explain the origin, purpose, and goals/rationale of action research in education.
  • Compare and contrast the goals of action research and traditional research.
  • Explain the meaning of “mixed-methods research design” and the key characteristics of this type of design.
  • Justify why action research is valuable to early childhood education professionals and provide one specific example of how it can make a positive difference in a classroom, center, school, or any other educational setting/organization.

For this discussion, you may choose the modality in which you respond to the prompt, based on your interests and strengths as a learner:

  • Video (YouTube (Links to an external site.))
  • Screencast/Presentation (Jing (Links to an external site.) )
  • Written Response
