I recently sat in on a webinar on place-based and project-based learning. They called it PBL2. Sounds interesting, right? Since we work in the inner city, and most of our students live in apartments with very little green space, I thought it would be cool to create a garden based on the concepts we have introduced in geometry. I think Manual will appreciate this because, just last week, he was telling me that he was annoyed that there were not any parks in his neighborhood where he could take his little sister to play.Please see my description of the lesson below. I would love your feedback. Since you are the expert in the field of special education, I left the differentiation section blank and would like you to fill it in based on Manual’s needs and those students who have Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals in the classroom. I just finished my last period prep time and I am ready for the weekend. I wanted to talk to you before the weekend, but we must have missed each other. As we will be teaching this on Monday, I wanted you to have the attached lesson plan.Thanks for the help,Mr. Franklin

Special education teachers are called upon to make legal and ethical decisions for children and their families on a regular basis. Often, ethical dilemmas prove much more difficult to resolve than legal ones. How does having a strong personal moral code assist special education teachers in deciding their actions?

Post an initial response contrasting two different settings where special educators work, ensuring that each setting comes from different categories. For example, you may choose the resource room from the public school setting and a charter school from the parent choice setting.In your own words, contrast the two different settings, including the role and function of the special educator within each setting. Include ways in which the special educator will collaborate with other educators and colleagues.Reflect on how a special educator will provide learning experiences for students with disabilities that are differentiated, developmentally appropriate, and challenging within both chosen settings. Your reflection must include details about what differentiated and developmentally appropriate learning experiences are, with at least one example that illustrates the importance of ensuring these types of learning experiences occur. The example(s) may be based on a personal experience or based on readings for this week.

Participants will keep an online Gifted Learner Reflection Journal to periodically summarize, analyze, synthesize and reflect on what they have learned and the learning process. Journal entries may explain a ‘big idea,’ concept or issue in the course that has impacted their thinking and reflect on how it will influence their practice as an educator going forward. They may also reflect on how their ideas and opinions evolved as a result of course activities and what they are learning from other class members.

Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the parent education program “A Psychoeducational Program for Parents of Dysfunctional Backgrounds” (Fine & Lee, 2001) and do you believe this program will be helpful in improving parenting skills in this population? Provide support for your conclusions.

he Federal Reserve System (the Fed) has the authority given to it in 1913 to print and maintain the US dollar, monitor and regulate commercial banks, and act as the bank for the United States government. Should the Fed be independent of the executive branch of the government? Or should it be like other departments of the government like the Department of State with its secretary appointed by the president? Please post your point of view in a coherent way summarizing the pros and cons and your personal view on the subject.To get the full credit, your discussion should be of proper length, 2-3 short paragraphs totaling at least 150 words and make a comment on at least one classmate’s post.

How, specifically, did you get the reader’s attention in the introduction? What style or approach did you use, and what did you hope to achieve by using it? If this part of your paper needs improvement, what strategy might you try instead? Why might this be a stronger strategy? Apply that change to the final paper.5. Examine the research you collected and used for support. In your rough draft, underline or highlight all the places where you have used evidence within the paper. Is each body paragraph supported by at least one piece of evidence, and is it compelling? Does the research come from multiple sources, of which at least one is peer-reviewed? Make a note to yourself about places within each paragraph where you will want to revise the evidence you present and where you might need to add research to support your ideas. Check the citations against the references. Do they match up? If not, what revision must you make?6. Do you feel that your paper shows a fair and balanced approach to your issue? If so, what did you do within the paper to ensure that was the case? If not, what specific changes will you make to be more balanced in your argument? How did you overcome any personal bias?7. Go to the last paragraph of your paper and read the last sentence of that paragraph. Does the sentence make sense? Does it use proper grammar, punctuation, and any APA style necessary? If not, make note of the changes you will need to make during revision. Do this same type of review moving backward through the essay, sentence by sentence. As you review your writing in this way, you might notice errors and patterns that you missed when reading from beginning to end.
