Once you’ve gotten to know your students through learning profile inventories that identify individual areas of strength and learning styles, you can design multimodal lessons that incorporate instructional technology that engage the 21st century learner. This week, you will create a three-day unit plan outline that addresses students’ diverse learning styles and multiple intelligences, acknowledges cultural and language differences, and integrates digital tools and technology. Using the textbook as guidance, create a Unit Plan outline, using the provided template that includes: Introduction: Describe the demographics of your current (or fictional classroom) including: Grade Level and Subject Area Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English Language Learners (ELLs) Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.) Stage 1: The first stage is to determine the “Big Picture”; what you want students to learn, conceptually, at the unit’s conclusion. You must: Identify the content, unit title, unit subject, and at least one Common Core State Standard (CCSS) that aligns with the unit. Create at least two measurable unit objectives that align with the CCSS. Describe what you want the students to master including key concepts, “big ideas”, and major understandings (see the textbook, Chapter 4 for guidance). The following resources are helpful when creating Stage 1: Common Core Standards – The Standards (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Writing measurable learning objectives (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. P21 common core toolkit (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Stage 2: The second stage outlines evidence of learning including pre-assessments, formative assessments, and a summative assessment. Pre-assessment: Explain how you will measure student’s level of readiness and preexisting knowledge specific to the content chosen. Include how you will take into account student strengths, interests, and learning needs. Formative Assessment: Explain how you will use formative assessments to drive differentiated instruction throughout the unit specific to the content you’ve chosen. Be sure to include how these assessments address UDL principals. Summative Assessment: Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals and DI theory and how the assessment takes into account your diverse student population. Stage 3: The final stage of the unit plan involves developing the activities and experiences, building upon what you determined in Stage 1. “This stage involves tailoring learning activities to the identified strengths, learning styles, and interests of students, organizing lessons in a meaningful way that emphasizes the relevance of the learning, and engaging the learners with active learning strategies”(Chapter 4, pp. 5-6). In addition, this stage should also incorporate self-regulation strategies (behavior management). In Stage 3 you must: List the daily breakdown of lesson topics to meet the final unit goal and that also addresses differentiated instruction and UDL. For example: 9th Grade English, Unit: Character Analysis Unit Goal: Students will use a word processing program to write an analysis of Holden Caulfield (main character in The Catcher in the Rye) and how his behavior is indicative of typical adolescence Day 1: Pre-assessment, introduction to book Day 2: Watch parts of “Dead Poet Society” with discussion Day 3: Writing Prompt (based on initial book chapters) Days 4-5: Graphic organizer- begin building character analysis with teacher-selected partner Describe how each daily activity incorporates differentiated instruction and UDL. Discuss two technology tools that will be incorporated throughout the unit including how each addresses differentiated instruction, how each will be used to aid instruction and how each is an example of universal design. Be sure to support with evidence from at least one scholarly source. Describe which self-regulation strategies have been built into the lesson and how they are reinforced and differentiated depending on the student’s level of need. Instructive tools to consider for your lesson: 10 Emerging Education and Instructional Technologies that all Educators Should Know About (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (This list summarizes Emerging Education and Instructional Technologies) Tech Connections (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (this website provides a chart that explains how to connect technology with each multiple intelligence level and how it can be used to differentiate instruction) Ten Tips for Differentiation (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (this website lists technology tools by area of motivational needs to create a more engaging lesson) LiveBinders (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (this is a Live Binder that was created to provide teachers with resources for using digital tools in the classroom) Use your course text and at least two other sources (either scholarly article or online resource). Your paper will be formatted according to APA guidelines including title and reference pages. Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Students will be given the opportunities to identify a wellness/fitness area of their life that they would like to improve upon.  Students will take steps to improve throughout the term, and submit a 500 word essay detailing their progress, process and how they can apply the knowledge gained throughout the term.

  Module 2 Discussion Discussion: Analyzing a Budget As the authors explain in Chapter 6 of your course text, budget planning for a child development center is influenced by many different factors, including where the organization is in its life cycle and the priorities of the organization. Because funds are rarely unlimited, center directors often must make difficult decisions regarding how to budget resources in the most strategically advantageous way. In this vein, review the sample budget for Rainbow Place (Figure 6.5) in your course text, and consider the following: What changes might you recommend be made in the budget for Rainbow Place, and why? How would these changes affect other parts of the budget? As the authors also point out in Chapter 6, financial management and budget planning can be a challenge for all small business owners and especially for first-time childcare entrepreneurs, who often have experience in the fields of human relations and education but not necessarily in business. Follow the instructions below to post your response to this Discussion topic. By Day 3 of Week 3: Post an explanation of at least two changes you might make to the budget for Rainbow Place (Fig. 6.5 in Chapter 6) if you were the center director, and why. In addition, describe how these changes would affect other parts of the budget. Then, identify at least one resource you might tap if you needed help with budget planning or other business aspects of your child development center. By Day 7 of Week 4: Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. As you read their responses, note those to which you would like to respond with advice, questions, comments, and/or encouragement. Respond to two or more of your colleagues’ postings in any of the following ways: Build on something your colleague said. Explain why and how you see things differently. Ask a probing or clarifying question. Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting. Offer and support an opinion. Validate an idea with your own experience. Expand on your colleague’s posting. Ask for evidence that supports the posting. Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Reflect on what you learned in this activity and/or insights you gained this week.

Original work,  A+ due by 8/29/17  12:00 (noon) cst Your task is to create an argument for both sides of a debate. You are to create “notecards” that you would use in your debate. You should have three “for” notecards and three “against” notecards. Each notecard should have one statement that supports one side of the argument along with three supports from a credible source. (The format looks like an outline—but the concept is that you are creating notecards for a verbal debate. This means you need to write in complete sentences, but you do not need the introduction, conclusion, and transitions of a formal paper.)    Topic Options: 1. Is it possible to believe in both science and Christianity? 2. Is Buddhism truly compatible with science?    At least two of your sources must come from the Academic OneFile or Academic Search Complete databases. Include a title page and a separate reference page. The title of your debate should be the question you are answering.
