As in any employment search, time is of the essence, so please complete these assessments as soon as you can. You can begin taking the tests by going to:

http://www.appleone.com/OnlineApplication/ola_assessment.aspx

 

 

1)   Click on the link above.

2)  Ensure that your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements by checking the list here. Important Note Regarding Pop-Up Blockers: Certain pop-up blockers prohibit the launching of a Prove It! test.  If you have Pop-Up Blocking software, please locate the software and disable your pop-up blocker.
3)  When prompted, enter your personal information. Some information may be required by your administrator.
4)  Click on the title you wish to begin. If you have been assigned more than one title, you must complete the one you began before you will be allowed to begin another one.
5)  After carefully reading the Disclaimer, click “I Accept” to proceed.  If you do not accept the terms of the Disclaimer, click “I Decline” and contact your administrator.
6)  After carefully reading the Instructions, click “Begin” to start.
7)  Your Assessment will now launch.
*  Follow any and all on-screen directions.

*  Answer each question as quickly and efficiently as possible; the amount of time you spend in the Assessment will be recorded and reported to your administrator.

*  Once you have made your final answer choice, move on to the Next Question.

*  The use of reference materials or other assistance is not allowed unless you are directed otherwise by your administrator.  Failure to comply with these instructions may result in disqualification.

*  You will not be able to skip questions or go back to previous questions.

*  If you choose to leave the Assessment early, you will not be able to restart the Assessment.
8)  Continue this process until the Assessment is complete.
*  If you complete an Assessment you will not be able to re-enter that Assessment. To complete an Assessment you must answer all questions presented to you or choose to leave the Assessment early. If you are unable to complete the Assessment due to loss of Internet service or other computer problems, you will be able to re-enter the Assessment until your session expires. In most cases, you will be able to pick up where you left off. Due to the nature of some Assessments (such as Typing, Data Entry, or Audio), questions must be answered in one sitting and in a sequential order. For those types of Assessments, you will be able to re-enter the Assessment but you will have to begin again from the first question. If you experience a disruption while testing, you will be able to continue your session when you log in again with your Session ID. You will be prompted to verify certain information that will allow you to continue the current session.
9)  Following the Assessment, you will be provided with feedback chosen by your administrator.  You may be offered specific question information, or you may be given a raw score.  In some cases, your administrator may want you to contact him or her for the results.
10)  After viewing any results, follow the on-screen directions.  If you have been assigned multiple Assessments, choose Continue Session and continue by following the instructions that begin with step 5 above until all Assessments are completed.    Otherwise, choose Logout.

 

 
Good luck!

 

 

Assimilation dilemma: adaptation versus preservation

/in /by

Select Case Study 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9 in “For Cultural Competence: Knowledge, Skills and Dispositions needed to Embrace Diversity.” 

 

**For Cultural Competence: Knowledge, Skills and Dispositions Needed to Embrace Diversity

Read pages 21-24, 36-50, and 54-66 in “For Cultural Competence: Knowledge, Skills and Dispositions Needed to Embrace Diversity,” by Williams, located on the Virginia Department of Education website.

http://www.doe.virginia.gov/special_ed/tech_asst_prof_dev/self_assessment/disproportionality/cultural_competence_manual.pdf

 

Examine the scenario through a lens of cultural competence to determine when/how a deeper cultural understanding would have influenced the teacher’s responses.

In a 500-750 word analysis, discuss 2-3 of the following concepts of deep culture in the context of the selected case study:

  • Collective orientation (promoting needs of the group versus promoting needs of the individual)
  • Time orientation
  • Respect for authority
  • Perceptions and value of education
  • Priority of family
  • Communication (e.g., language development, verbal communication styles, nonverbal communication, physical proximity)
  • Value of work/Work ethic
  • Peer pressure
  • Assimilation dilemma: adaptation versus preservation

In addition, include specific advice to the teacher in your case study to help him or her respond more appropriately to the student/family.

 

Use at least 2-3 scholarly sources (other than the assigned readings) to justify your responses.

Assignment 2: Comparative Study of Emerging Technologies

Due Week 5 and worth 175 points

Refer to both the Overall Concept for Assignments 1-4 and your responses from Assignment 1 in order to complete this assignment.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Debate the overall merits of the selected emerging technology over the three (3) others that you had previously identified from Assignment 1.
  2. Compare and contrast the emerging technology that you chose with the three (3) other emerging technologies that you did not choose. Your comparison should address the following:
    1. Three (3) methods in which the attributes and features of each address the needs and or challenges inherent in the educational setting or related to the scenario you selected in Assignment 1.
    2. Significant ways in which each technology supports meaningful learning.
    3. Three (3) attributes and / or features inherent in each emerging technology that instructors may use to address select characteristics of the 21st Century student population that you had previously identified.
    4. Three (3) aspects of your selected technology that best address two (2) of the NETS-S standards for using technology to guide learning.
  3. Provide at least five (5) sources that document detailed information about this emerging technology. The sources must be within the last five (5) years.
  4. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
    1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
    2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
  5. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Review current research related to emerging technologies for instruction and learning.
