    Read this following scenario below:
    Four-year-old Marta and Tui are arguing in the pretend area. Marta wants to make a doctor’s office and have Tui bring her baby in because she is hurt.

She broke her arm, so you have to bring her to me.” Tui insists, “No, I hate you! I’m going shopping.” Marta makes a grab for the doll and the arm breaks off. Tui is in tears and Marta is wailing.

  • Title: Engaging Elementary Students through Project-Based Learning

    Project-based learning (PBL) is one type of instruction that increases student engagement and learning. It allows for choice, authentic collaboration and assessment, as well as real-world experience.
    Research a project-based unit for elementary students you would be interested in using in your future classroom. Create a 3-5 minute video that introduces the project-based unit to other teachers who will be using the same unit. In your video complete the following:
    Introduce your project-based unit (grade level and subject area).
    Explain why the PBL unit is engaging for students and how it will be used to increase cognition.
    Describe how the PBL unit is challenging students. Include the levels of Bloom’s taxonomy that are incorporated.
    Justify the learning students will have when the unit is complete.
    Show professionalism in your speech and appearance. Your face must be visible in your video.
    Use an online video platform such as Loom or YouTube to upload your completed video. Be sure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submitting.
    Support your video with 1-2 scholarly resources.

  • Title: “Feuerstein’s Theory of Teaching Thinking and Reasoning: Applicability and Action Plan for Addressing Challenges in the South African Education System”

    Focus Statement to guide your discussion
    “Feuerstein and his colleagues have carried out pioneering work on the teaching of thinking and reasoning with diverse populations worldwide. Because of the systemic nature of the work, which takes into account all sectors of society, it has relevance for South African society, ranging from underachieving disadvantage.
    Specific Essay Instructions: To begin this assessment, you will be required to critically evaluate the focus statement. 
    You will be awarded marks for an insightful evaluation of Feuerstein’s theory and its applicability within the South African context. 
    Finally, you will be required to design and detail a systemic action plan or enrichment programme to overcome a particular challenge within the South African teaching and learning context. 
    You must select a specific issue from the following broader areas of concern:
    1. The developmental learning gap in either literacy or mathematics as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
    2. Academic barriers caused by language barriers. 
    3. Negative learner attitudes and/or poor relationships between the educator and learner.
    You will be required to present this enrichment or action plan to overcome the specific identified challenge. You will then be expected to support your rationale by researching the underlying cause of the issue and then presenting aspects of Feuerstein’s theory and teachings as a solution to overcome the challenge. You must consider presenting your plan realistically and grounding your plan and arguments through drawing of Feuerstein’s theory and concepts surrounding constructivism.

  • “Creating an Action Plan for Implementing a Personal Philosophy of Education: Reflecting on CLOs and Culturally-Responsive Pedagogy”

    our culminating project will center on the relation of CLOs to the intersections and interactions of historical themes, current practices, relevant theory and philosophy, and personal cultural identity in education. A statement of personal philosophy of education is a reflective piece, 5-10 pages long, that summarizes your educational position on the purpose, process, nature, and ideals of education. As a reflection on your CLOs, your personal education philosophy explains the beliefs and ideas that underlie your thinking and regulate your actions.
    Drawing on what you’ve learned in the course, your paper should reflect on how you, as a teacher, will
    Continually and deliberately reflect on my practices in light of educational research, professional decisions, and pedagogical approaches. (Reflexive Praxis)
    Create contexts for learning that are driven by evidence-based principles of diversity, difference, inclusion, and equity. (Learner Centeredness)
    Apply knowledge, concepts, and strategies across domains to engage individuals and promote critical thinking and creativity. (Discipline Knowledge and Skills)
    Demonstrate attitudes, knowledge, skills, and professional ethics that contribute to the success and well-being of all individuals. (Professional Commitment to Action)
    Evaluate, plan, select, and implement appropriate formative and summative assessments–including those that are technology based–to monitor individuals’ understanding, behavior, and progress. (Data Literacy and Research)
    The following questions may help to guide the creation of the action plan to implement your personal philosophy: 
    Which aspects of your own and others’ philosophies would you like to focus on in your teaching? (RP1, LC1, DKS1)
    What action steps will you take to bring these philosophies to life in your practice? (DKS2, PCA1)
    How will enacting these chosen philosophies further your development as a reflective practitioner in relation to the CLOs? (RP1, RP2, RP3)
    How will you assess your growth and progress toward actualization of your personal philosophy of education? (RP1, DLR2, DLR3)
    What histories, philosophies, ideas, and theories of education that we learned about in this course are still present in schools, and which would you like to preserve in current educational practices? (DKS1, DKS2, DKS3)
    How will enacting these philosophies, theories, and ideas further your development as a teacher in relation to the CLOs you discussed in Module 1? Assess your personal and professional growth since your initial philosophical reflections on these CLOs. (RP1, RP2, RP3)
    How does/should culturally-responsive pedagogy manifest in schools? (LC1, LC2, PCA1, DLR1)
    Who are you as a student and teacher? How have you come to know what you know about education and schooling? In what ways have your cultural identities and social experiences shaped your understanding of education and schooling? (RP1, RP2, RP3, PCA1)
    Is American education moving in the right direction? How can you transform your ideas about education and schooling into praxis, advocacy, and action? (DKS1, DKS2, PCA1, DLR3)

  • “Recognizing Dyslexia: A Comparison of State Approaches and Strategies for Supporting Struggling Readers and Writers” 1. In South Carolina, dyslexia is recognized as a specific learning disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

    Answer the discussion questions in at least 150 words with at least one resource for each question. 
    1. Some states recognize dyslexia as a specific type of learning disability and others do not. Conduct research about how your state (South Carolina) recognizes students with this disability. Research a neighboring state (Georgia) to see how they recognize students with dyslexia. Discuss the similarities and differences you see between states.
    2. What are some strategies you can share to help reluctant or struggling readers/writers in your specific content area classroom? What resources, technology, and digital tools can you implement to advance student literacy development for all students, including students with exceptionalities?
