The Discussion Boards for this course require an important element in formation; the deliberative meditation upon Scripture. You will read an introductory explanation to the chosen method and one guided reading. Each week you will read the 2 assigned chapters from Meeting God in Scripture; the chapters will provide guided reflection upon Scripture passages. You must read the passage and then give 12 minutes to employing the method or following the guided reading and taking up the challenge to practice the discipline for yourself.
For this discussion:
Discuss your observations concerning the passages in chapter 36 and 40.
In light of chapter the text box, what are the chances of you continuing the practice of meditation? Explain.
You are required to provide a thread in response to the provided prompt for each forum. Each thread must be 200-300 words in length. The thread needs to offer a strong impression or observation encountered in the meditation (12 minutes for each text after reading).

You may also respond to the textboxes from each section or chapter; these address important questions about the practice.

“Exploring Behavioral Changes in Education: A Research-Based Approach to Addressing a Problem of Practice”
The TOPIC is Behavorial Changes in Education
Imagine you and your colleagues agree there’s an education-related issue at your workplace that seems it could be addressed if you all collaborate on it together. But no one’s sure where to start. They know you’re taking classes toward your Ed.D, so they think you’re a natural pick for the first task, which is to do some research to see what information is out in the world about the problem—and any potential solutions. You’ll share the results with them via a paper that explores the problem of practice.
Think about a problem of practice you’d like to delve into for this course, a problem in your current educational environment or one you see yourself in the future, one that relates to your specialization.
Your purpose is to use research to find recommendations that will help you and your colleagues address the problem of practice. You’ll identify the most current and relevant articles and analyze them to surface the issues, practices, and solutions most appropriate to your setting.
In your paper:
Describe your problem of practice, providing examples.
Analyze the relevant issues, practices, and solutions and their relationship to your educational setting, based on current research.
Evaluate the solutions to prioritize the most relevant and effective for your setting.
Critical thinking: Be sure to analyze and evaluate the articles, not just report what was written. Provide the reasons why these are relevant to your problem of practice. And consider what analysis you need to provide in addition.
Before you begin your paper, examine the scoring guide to see the grading criteria.
Paper Organization
Start with a title page and organize your paper with the following guidelines:
Title page: Use APA format to create the title page. Use your Problem of Practice as a title.
Overview: Provide an introduction of your problem of practice and an overview of what will be included in your paper. Include discussion of how this problem relates to your specialization.
Problem of practice: The body of your paper will be a presentation of research and its relation to the problem of practice you’ve chosen.
Recommendations: Your conclusion should make recommendations for addressing the issue based on the research you’ve found.
References: Include a minimum of three different scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles (related to your field of specialization) that are also cited in the paper. Your citations must have references, and your references need to be included within your paper as in-text citations.
Your 2–3 page paper should be double-spaced and include a minimum of three references from peer-reviewed journal articles related to your field or specialization. -
