Please pay attention to the following:  each article summary should be 2-pages in length, double-spaced, 12 pt font, excluding any reference or citation to the article itself.  There should be a clear article citation in APA format.  Remember that this summary should be based on a peer-reviewed research article (meaning a legitimate scientific paper, not Wikipedia or Science Daily).  The summary should succinctly give the relevance of the broader topic, what the objective of the research was, how it was done, and what the significant findings were.

Week 4 – Discussion 22 unread replies.77 replies. Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. Learning Through Inquiry The cycle of inquiry begins by turning a teacher’s concern, dilemma, or frustration into a teacher’s question to investigate and is the key to job-embedded professional development. As mentors, you should understand how a teacher’s individual development phase can provide helpful insight in identifying an area for growth and sharing that area in a constructive way. In this discussion, you will explore how you can influence teachers to wonder, question, and share ideas for their own growth. Prior to participating in the discussion please read Chapter 5, focusing on Table 5.4 – Beginning Mini-Cycle of Inquiry, as well as the scenario below: Recently, a preschool teacher was assessed using the CLASS tool (Effective child-teacher interactions (Links to an external site.)) which measures child-teacher interactions on several levels. The purpose of this tool is to improve teaching and student outcomes. The teacher requested time to meet with the CLASS coach because her classroom received a low score in the dimension called “Positive Climate.” Keep in mind the information on positive and negative climate below. Positive Climate Classrooms have a high positive climate when teachers and students Have positive relationships with one another and clearly enjoy being together. Are enthusiastic about learning and spending time in the classroom. Are respectful of one another. Negative Climate Classrooms have a high negative climate when teachers and students Get frequently irritated and angry with one another. Are not able to diffuse negative situations such that these situations escalate. Make fun of one another in mean-spirited ways.More information on positive and negative climate is available in the following blog post: How Positive & Negative Climate Among Teachers Affect Children (Links to an external site.) In your discussion thread discuss the questions below as a group, sharing thoughts and options for answering the questions. Each group member must provide potential answers to at least two of the questions and must contribute to deciding on answers for all five questions. One member of each group should submit the group’s responses to each of the following questions (be sure to include the name of the person who submitted the response): How can you make a teacher feel competent and excited about engaging in learning? What communication skills would you use in the “Observe” phase to create a teacher-generated research question? How might you support the teacher in the “Reflect” phase of the cycle? What are some things you may take into consideration? How would you support the teacher in the “Apply” phase of the cycle to support the teacher in engaging more deeply in their own development? How might you approach this teacher if they began to feel overwhelmed and lacked the confidence to meet the challenge during this process?

Start to compile your list of annotated sources for your researched argument. You will need to submit 10 annotated sources for this assignment. At least 5 must be scholarly sources. The rest can be credible popular sources. To annotate a bibliography means to include critical commentary about each work on the list, usually in one or two short paragraphs. Each annotation should contain the following: A sentence or two about the rhetorical context of the source. Is it an informative news article? An opinion column?  A scholarly essay? Is it intended for lawyers? The public?  Students? The elderly? What is the bias? A brief but detailed summary of the content. A note about why this source seems valuable and how you might use it. See example below:  Example: Ames, Katrine. “Last Rights.” Newsweek 26 Aug. 1991: 40-41. Print. This is a news article for the general public about the popularity of a book called Final Exit, on how to commit suicide. Ames explains the interest in the book as resulting from people’s perception that doctors, technology, and hospital bureaucrats are making it harder and harder to die with dignity in this country. The article documents with statistics the direction of public opinion on this topic and also outlines some options, besides suicide, that are becoming available to ensure people of the right to die. Ames shows a bias against prolonging life through technology, but she includes quotations from authorities on both sides. This is a good source of evidence about public and professional opinion. -This sample is from The Aims of Argument by Timothy Crusius and Carolyn Channell.

This week, you examined more closely learning goals, outcomes, and objectives and how they factor into the design process. Think of a road trip. Generally, you have a map to guide you on your journey. Without it, you run the risk of getting lost. Unless getting lost is your objective, that map will help you stick to the best path to get you where you need to be. If you don’t know where you are going, how will you know when you get there? This is what goals and objectives, as a part of the overall ID process, do for instruction. For this assignment, you will create a high-level design by giving an overview of your need for instruction that you identified in Week 2, a basic learner analysis (who your learners are and what you know about them), and what you want them to know, do, or feel when they complete instruction. You will write one learning goal, at least one learning outcome, and at least two learning objectives, which you will include in your signature assignment in Week 8. Length: One page with a complete learning goal, learning outcome, and at least two learning objectives References: No references required, though any sources used should be cited and referenced using APA style The completed assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. The content should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards and should adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Planning (The analysis will be described in the narrative. The chart and lesson plans will be placed in the appendix.)Create a strengths and weaknesses chart. Analyze two student work samples and data. Include the foundational skills that will address the weaknesses. Use the lesson plan template to create two sequential phonics lessons for a small intervention group. Instruction (These activities will be described in the narrative and pictures or examples of the actual activity will be placed in the appendix.)Select one additional phonics activity or strategy that the students can work on collaboratively using manipulatives. Describe the activity, the benefits or purposes of the activity, and what you will learn about the phonics development of the students by examining their product or by observation. Select one additional activity or strategy that can be done at the small group table with the teacher. Describe the activity, the benefit or purpose of the activity, and what you will learn about their phonics development through interaction with the students. Assessment (The checklist should be placed in the appendix and described in the narrative.)Create a checklist that identifies the foundational skills students in your grade should acquire according to the Common Core State Standards. This checklist will help you, as a teacher, track which students have the skills for your grade and which students do not. Keep in mind, sometimes a 2nd-grade teacher has to help students who are functioning on the first-grade level. Describe how you designed the checklist and how it can be used in your classroom. Also, share why you designed it the way that you did. Vocabulary (This will meet the requirements for Major Assignment #3.)Share 2 vocabulary activities. Explain the benefit of each activity for vocabulary development. Use 3 references in your response (the book and 2 other sources).
