Your course project is to develop an Anti-Bias Action Plan. For this part of the project, you will select and research a diverse group in your community that has experienced inequality, bias, or discrimination in the past. You will then gather background information about the group, and then submit a report of your findings. Step 1: Select and research a diverse group in your community that has experienced inequality, bias, or discrimination in the past. Your focus should be on children ages birth through 8 years old in the selected group. Considerations for selecting your group: Examples include a cultural group you are interested in or concerned about, a specific language group whose linguistic needs are not being met, children with special needs, a diverse religious or socioeconomic group, a gender/sexual orientation group, and so on. Step 2: Gather background information about the selected diverse group. Research and learn more about the diverse group of learners you selected and the group’s experiences with discrimination and bias. Incorporate two (2) credible resources to examine and compare relevant facts and information about the group you selected. You can use your textbook, credible websites, articles, etc. One must be a resource located through the Rasmussen Library databases. Step 3: Report your findings in a 2-3 page paper. Identify the group you selected and explain why and/or how you selected the group. Describe the group and the form of discrimination it has endured, both in the past and currently. Describe what type of action (if any) it has taken in the past. Integrate the facts and information you gathered from your resources to better explain the group’s experiences with discrimination and bias. Format your paper using APA style, including a title page and a reference page that contains the sources you used. For help with formatting your paper, visit the APA Guide.

Current Issues Affecting the Classroom Constant changes occurring in early childhood education make staying up-to-date with current educational trends and issues critical for early childhood educators. Trends and issues in education affect teachers, and ultimately, students. Therefore, teachers need to stay abreast of current research in order to advocate and incorporate developmentally appropriate practices. For this assignment, you will be researching a current issue in early childhood education, and advocating for your position on the issue. Part 1: Resources After you have selected an early childhood education issue to advocate, using the “Current Issues Affecting the Classroom” template, provide four resources for stakeholders (families, educators, elected officials, community members, etc.) that provide information about the issue and its importance in early childhood education. Include links to your resources, along with a 50-100 word explanation for each resource detailing how it supports your call to action. Part 2: Speech Write and videotape a two-minute speech advocating for your position on the early childhood education issue. Your speech should include: Description of the issue and your position Proposal for modifying or changing the current cause or policy Support through a minimum of two suggested and researched strategies A conclusion reiterating your position and how it will change or improve the early childhood education issue You will be evaluated on the content of your speech, including introduction, research, and call to action, as well as your presentation and delivery. Show professionalism in your speech and appearance. Use an online video platform such as Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. Be sure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submitting. Include the link on your completed “Current Issues Affecting the Classroom” template. Support your speech with 3-5 scholarly references, and list them on the “Current Issues Affecting the Classroom” template. 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. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Explain how socio-economic, political and cultural factors influence educators choices about curriculum design. Remember to do some research and incorporate the sources you read. Explain the differences between aims, goals and objectives. Give a clear and practical example statement of each.

Introduction This week’s resources emphasize the importance of understanding findings from neuroscience research as they apply to adult learning and education. Brain research and the emerging field of Mind-Brain Education Science has demonstrated a link between neuroscience and the core principles of andragogy. The following three meta-findings from neuroscience lay the foundation of andragogy: Adults can learn throughout life. Emotions play a critical role in learning. Learning occurs by connecting new knowledge to existing knowledge. Additionally, there is support from research for the six core principles of andragogy. Understanding these findings can help educators set the climate for adult learning. Initial Post Instructions 1A. First review the following resources then discuss what you learned regarding the brain and its implications for education that you did not already know (be specific about the principles of andragogy). The Neuroscience of Learning (3 min Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nWMP68DqHE Interview with Educational Neuroscientist Dr. Jared Horvath: Care to Learn (31 min Podcast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jNT5lhqngs We Knew It All Along: Using Cognitive Science to Explain How Andragogy Works (Article) https://education.biu.ac.il/sites/education/files/shared/we_knew_it_all_along_using.pdf 2A. Next review the following resources and discuss how this information changes the way you conceptualize learning. Brain-Based Teaching in the Digital Age (Online Textbook) Effect of Brain Based Learning on Academic Achievement (Article) Neural Mechanisms Underlying School-Based Learning (Article) Mind, Brain, and Education in the Digital Era (Article) 3A. Finally, provide suggestions on how to set up a learning climate that is positive and facilitates growth and change based on what neuroscience tells us about how to structure an optimal environment for learning as an educator. Writing Requirements: Initial Post Length: minimum of 350 words Minimum of 2 outside resources (library resources, peer-reviewed, or web-based sources) Use APA format, with a corresponding references list for the initial post.

Special education teachers must be well versed in using performance data to identify students whose literacy skills are below grade level. Gaining insight into students’ academic strengths and needs will help educators plan appropriate instruction to assist students in making positive academic growth. Using the “Class Profile,” identify a group of 3-4 elementary students who would benefit from an oral language development or phonemic awareness lesson. Determine a K-2 grade level for your group of fictional students, select an ELA standard from your state related to Oral Language Development or Phonemic Awareness, and then select a corresponding grade-level text appropriate for use in a lesson plan for the determined group. You may use Appendix B of the Common Core English Language Arts Standards to help you determine an appropriate text for the lesson. With your choices in mind, use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” to design a lesson on oral language development or phonemic awareness, utilizing storytelling, dramatic play, or a read-aloud as an instructional strategy. Thoroughly script the “Multiple Means of Engagement” section, emphasizing the use of questions to access student’s background knowledge and abilities to build new skills and develop common understanding through shared, concrete experiences. Upon completion of your lesson plan, compose a 250-500 word summary, rationalizing how your instructional decisions help your group students to flourish in the classroom, as opposed to just survive. Be sure to address how you will use your findings in your future professional practice
