Education

What is your philosophy of education? Write at least 2 page of your teaching philosophy. Below are the guiding questions. —Philosophers/philosophies that influence your thinking (review our textbook chapter 1) What makes teaching young children different from teaching elementary school students?  Why is early childhood education important? ( Review readings for the module 4 and 5) —The purpose of education, how children learn, and how they should be taught What  ECE approaches you like the most and why? What goals do you have for your students? Describe how you are going to teach young children who are individually, developmentally, culturally diverse?  Justify why you teach that way

Directions:  Write at least 3 paragraphs. The purpose of this assignment is to ask you to formulate your own philosophy regarding technology and teaching.  The following is by no means an exhaustive list, but you may wish to include responses to these questions to get you started:   How has your knowledge base grown?   In what ways do you see the use of technology helpful and similarly in what ways do you see the use of technology hindering as it pertains to teaching and learning?   What are some essential elements to teaching with technology that have a positive effect on your teaching and your students’ learning?   How will you keep up with what industry may call “new technology” that will change the way you teach and the way your students learn?  Essentially, how will you continue to be a lifelong learner? How will you determine if a new piece of technology is worth your time and investment?  How will you communicate your philosophy to fellow co-workers? How do the technology standards support your philosophy?

FIRST, write an Initial Post of at least 300 words (about 2 paragraphs, one per question), in which you address BOTH of the following question. You must address BOTH questions to successfully complete the assignment.  Question 1: After reading through chapter one and mod 1 readings, in your own words, describe what the Humanities are and argue why they are important. In your discussion, identify and describe at least three distinct subject areas (disciplines) in the humanities that help illustrate your understanding and support your argument. **Note, “beauty” is not a subject area. For example, in the sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics would be examples of subject areas. Pay attention to the key terms there, identify AND describe.  Question 2: Choose ONE of the following articles and associated question to respond to. Choose the one most relevant to your goals or interests. After reading “Studying Humanities Teaches You How to Get a Job” discuss how you think studying the humanities might help you get a job in the future. Reference the article’s examples in your discussion. After reading “Building a Bridge Between Engineering and the Humanities” summarize why the author thinks a bridge between the humanities and engineering is important and whether or not you agree with the article’s premise. Justify your response with discussion.  Based on your reading of “How the Humanities Can Train Entrepreneurs” what skills are employers looking for that the humanities can provide future students who want to work in business or become entrepreneurs? As a reminder, any outside sources used should be scholarly in nature and included at the bottom your post along with a citation for the textbook in a properly formatted MLA style “Works Cited” section at the end of your post. Any material you integrate into your post word-for-word must be placed in quotation marks and have an in-text parenthetical citation and a works cited entry. Any material you paraphrase or summarize must be cited with an in-text parenthetical citation and a works cited entry.

Ask for Help Print DJM2 — DJM2 TASK 1: VIDEO OBSERVATION TASK INTRODUCTION Western Governors University employs a three-step developmental framework to support you through your preclinical and clinical experiences. This framework also helps to ensure you exit the program confident in your ability to meet the needs of your future students and school system. This assessment falls under step one of the three-step framework. In this task, you will engage in activities that will go toward preclinical hours of your Early Preclinical Experiences requirements. In this task and others in this program, you will use Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (Gibbs, 1988) as a framework to respond to observations and experiences. Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle encourages you to think systematically about the phases of an experience or activity, first describing the experience, then addressing how it made you feel, next evaluating and analyzing it, then drawing a conclusion, and finally considering how this experience will apply to your future practice. In this task, you will complete video observations and related reflections focusing on elements of educational psychology and human development in classroom settings. REQUIREMENTS Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.

Exact instructions are to follow below, however I only want the beginning of the essay written, perhaps just the intro and a solid body paragraph; Directions for Writing: Analyze and evaluate a written policy and argue whether this policy should be ended, amended/replaced, or maintained. Specifically, argue whether or not this existing or proposed policy produces or sustains greater equity (antiracist) or inequity (racist) based in part on race/ethnicity, and perhaps also on class, gender, sexuality, and/or any other relevant intersections. Develop your thesis by discussing main causes or reasons why this policy exists or is being proposed (are the ideas, systems, and interests responsible for this policy racist? antiracist? race-neutral? equitable/inequitable?) discussing the main effects of the policy (does/would the policy produce/sustain greater equity or inequity based on race and other relevant factors?) suggesting proposed solutions or alternatives to this policy (if you’re arguing it should be amended/replaced), and/or alternative ways of producing/sustaining equity that do not involve creating and implementing policy (e.g. changing the ways individuals think and act) As you develop your thesis by discussing the causes, especially effects, and possible solutions/alternatives to this policy, engage key definitions, ideas, arguments, and incorporate ideas, arguments (including at least one counter-argument), and evidence from other authoritative, relevant sources consider other evaluative criteria such as the scope, desirability, and feasibility of this policy  Textual/Research Requirements: Develop your thesis by citing arguments and evidence from at least three authoritative, relevant sources, at least two of which must be articles from academic journals. In selecting sources be sure to evaluate them based on their authority, relevancy, currency, sufficiency, bias/diversity of viewpoint, and overall worth. I have already discussed with my professor that the topic will be in regards to “Racial Tracking in Education” and that it should be ended.

INSTRUCTIONS High quality teaching requires educators to be able to articulate their process for developing lessons and identifying selected instructional activities. As teachers reflect on their teaching practices they become better at identifying and articulating their process for selecting instructional activities and communicating how they affected student learning. For this assignment, create two data tracking charts using technology based on the data you collected on the targeted teaching activity implemented with your identified student.  One of the charts should be in a student-friendly format to be used with the student to discuss his or her progress. The other chart should be in a format that could be shared with colleagues for collaboration on identifying student needs. In addition to your two charts, compose a 750-1,000 word reflective paper describing your targeted teaching activity and the process you underwent to develop it. Your reflection should include: ·         How and what data/information was used to identify the selected student. ·         How and what data/information was used to select the identified learning objective. ·         How and what data/information was used to develop the targeted learning activity. ·         How data relevant to the targeted teaching plan was collected, organized, and analyzed. ·         An explanation for data as a primary resource when developing instruction. ·         How these assessment practices represent ethical and professional responsibilities around analyzing and reporting data in order to promote positive outcomes for the student. ·         Describe how to share the plan with families and stakeholders to promote collaboration and partnerships. Support your assignment with at least three 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.  RUBRIC – The chart for the colleagues is insightful and exceptional. – The data/information that was used to identify the selected student, to select the identified learning objective, and to develop the targeted learning activity was thorough. – How data relevant to the targeted teaching plan was collected, organized, and analyzed was compelling and proficient. – The explanation for the data as a primary resource when developing instruction was in-depth. – The assessment practices represent ethical and professional responsibilities around analyzing and reporting data in order to promote positive outcomes for the student are insightful. – Includes a well- crafted narrative describing how to share the plan with families and stakeholders to promote collaboration and partnerships. – Design is professional, visually appealing and clearly catered to the audience. Skillful handling of text and visuals creates a distinctive and effective presentation. – In-text citations are complete, error-free, and arranged appropriately. Sources are credible and appropriate for the submission. The sources strongly support the submission. The references page is free of errors. All aspects of the required format are correct within the submission. – Submission is virtually free of mechanical errors. Word choice reflects well-developed use of practice and content-related language. Sentence structures are varied and engaging.

You will complete a Course Project in this course that will span two weeks. The final project is due the Sunday of Week 7. The project is broken into two parts. You will complete Part I in Week 6 and Part II in Week 7. In Week 6, Confidence Intervals will be explored and in Week 7 Hypothesis testing will be explored. A confidence interval is a defined range of values such that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within the interval. In Part I of this project, you will pick a topic, complete research and provide a write-up that includes calculations. Round all values to two decimal places when appropriate. Deliverables Choose a Topic where you can gather at least 50 pieces of data. Examples of Topics The Golden Gate Warriors Points Per Game in 2016 (use the points scored in the first 50 games). High School Graduation Rates by State (use the graduation rates for all 50 states) Average Tuition Rates in the US (You have to find the tuition rates of 50 college/universities). The prices of a hotel room per night in a major city (You have to find the price of the same night of hotels in one city). Weights of 50 babies at birth. Write at least a 1-Page Report Open a Word Document Introduction–Provide a description of your topic and cite where you found your data. Sample Data—Include a 5×10 table including your 50 values in your report. You must provide ALL of your sample data. Problem Computations—For the topic you chose, you must answer the following: Determine the mean and standard deviation of your sample. Find the 80%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals. Make sure to list the margin of error for the 80%, 95%, and 99% confidence interval. Create your own confidence interval (you cannot use 80%, 95%, and 99%) and make sure to show your work. Make sure to list the margin of error. Problem Analysis—Write a half-page reflection. What trend do you see takes place to the confidence interval as the confidence level rises? Explain mathematically why that takes place. Provide a sentence for each confidence interval created in part c) which explains what the confidence interval means in context of topic of your project. Explain how Part I of the project has helped you understand confidence intervals better? How did this project help you understand statistics better?

DESCRIPTION.  As the final written assignment for EDU 102 I am asking you to think deeply about the ‘foundations of education’ – the title of this course. You are being asked to do this by Crafting a written response that answers the following question(s): What is/are the foundations of education? Why did we study the topics that we did? For that matter, what was this course about? (In my mind this is actually one question – you may agree / disagree – it all depends upon how you “see” it.) Your response should not be less than 1,750 words, nor should it be more than 2,000 words. (please use word count to ensure that your response is the appropriate length). If it helps – this final assignment is about 700 words in length. The following terms / concepts must be included in bold & underlined in your response. Achievement gap Administering public schools Assembly line, banking, OR traditional education Blooms taxonomy Common school OR the common school movement Education for empowerment OR problem posing education Financing public schools Fixed versus growth mindsets (or entity versus incremental mindset) Learning gap Warm demanders The following educational theorists must be included in bold in your response. Urie Bronfenbrenner Lisa Delpit John Dewey Paolo Freire Alfie Kohn Ira Shor And remember – this is a FINAL EXAM. Therefore, throughout your response you are required to include in text citations to course readings / outside sources as appropriate. Please keep the following in mind: This should NOT be considered an opportunity for you to use recall and tell me everything you think you know or remember from this course – as that it the lowest level of intellectual functioning according to Bloom’s taxonomy (remembering). Instead this assignment should be an opportunity for you to consolidate and add to your understandings. Therefore, do not simply tell me everything you think you know right now. Instead, begin by reviewing your class notes, and then your course readings. When appropriate refer to outside sources to fill in gaps in your current understandings. I encourage you to discuss your response with your peers / colleagues. However, I ask that you write your final written response individually. Other ideas to keep in mind: Do NOT cite class notes – find / cite the original source. Include a complete reference list at the end. The reference list is not to be included in the word count. APA is required for BOTH the in text cites and the reference list. And as always, I prefer single spaced with double spaces between paragraphs.   In terms of grading the FINAL ASSIGNMENT the following rubric will be used: Breadth: Response tells a compelling “story.” Content is accurate and comprehensive. Follows required format. ALL key terms / theorists are included / bolded. Depth: Response demonstrates a deep understanding of major course ideas. Response is clear, concise, and accurate. Connections: Response includes citations to a variety of course readings. Citations utilize APA. Reference list (in APA) included.  Clarity: Well written, easy to read & follow.

1, Give a thorough description of what you are studying in your project, and what your assumption for the mean is?  I am studying all college students lives in New York. My assumption for the mean is that an average college student lives in NY dine out 2 times a week.   But I need you to write half page of explanation.     2, Explain what the population and sample are in your study. Explain how you collected the sample values in detail. If you gave a survey, clearly describe how and where the survey was administered.  I have created a survey to hand out some college students attending on my school and I made an online survey to collect the data from my other social media friend that lives all parts NY and goes to different types of schools.
