    Problems
    are a part of life, and proposing solutions is necessary for a functioning
    society. Proposals may not always be obvious, but they are common both in the
    workplace and in everyday life. For example, you might have an idea about how
    to improve your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a solution to
    lower production costs at work. Creating an effective and clear proposal can
    help you persuade others to adopt your perspective and take action.

    length of 2–4 pages) by doing the following:
    1.  Identify a problem that is relevant to a
    professional educational setting.
    2.  Describe the significance of the problem.
    3.  Provide a statement of purpose at the beginning of
    the proposal that recommends a solution(s) to the problem.
    4.  Explain the proposed course of action with 2–4 logical
    steps or justifications (suggested length of 1–2 paragraphs per
    step or justification).
    5.  Justify how your proposed course of action supports the
    solutions(s) listed in part 1.A3 and is a suitable choice, using three credible
    sources to support your response.
    6.  Identify the challenge(s) that might be
    encountered while implementing the solution(s) and explain how the challenge(s)
    could be overcome.
    7.  Provide a conclusion for the proposal.
    B.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and
    references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
    C.  Demonstrate professional communication in the
    content and presentation of your submission.
    Part 2:
    A.  Draft an email with your
    proposal using 8–15 sentences, including the following
    components:
    1.  a subject line
    2.  an opening or salutation
    3.  a developed body of the email with an objective
    relating to your proposal
    a.  Employ cross-cultural communication practices
    throughout the body of your email.
    4.  concluding remarks
    5.  a closing or signature
    B.  Analyze your use of cross-cultural communication
    within the email written in part 2.A (suggested length of 5–8 sentences)
    by doing the following:
    1.  Identify three principles of
    cross-cultural communication you applied within the email.
    2.  Explain how you applied each of the principles
    of cross-cultural communication from part B1.

  • Title: The Evolution of Education: A Timeline of the Last 100 Years Event 1: The Introduction of Compulsory Education (1918) – Impact: This event made it mandatory for children to attend school, leading to increased enrollment

    Imagine you are a student at a local university. You have been asked by your professor to explain the evolution of education to the Future Teachers of America club at a local high school next week. You decide to create a timeline handout for distribution to the club before your presentation.

  • Title: Gender Discrimination and School Dress Codes: Examining the Legal Rights of Students

    Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review Chapter 1 and read Chapter 5 from the course text, Legal Rights of School Leaders, Teachers and Students. Review the case https://uagc.instructure.com/courses/131624/files/21560571?wrap=1
    Introduction
    State law does not give students the right to choose their mode of dress. Thus, the matter of student dress and grooming is at the discretion of local school districts. A common question remains: Can school districts have a dress code that discriminates based on gender?
    Pay close attention especially to the Tinker case which highlights that conduct does not have to physically originate in the school building or during the school day to adversely affect the learning environment and the rights of others (McCarthy et al., 2019).
    Write
    In your discussion post,
    Argue the question, “Can school districts have a dress code that discriminates based on gender?” using the text and one outside source to support your explanation.
    Use Linking to Practice Do’s and Don’ts to further explain your rationale for your dress code argument.

  • Title: Culturally Responsive ELA Lesson Plan for 7th Grade

    Part 1: Diverse ELA Lesson Plan Grade level 7th grade 
    You are in your first year of teaching and finding that many of your students come from different cultures with different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. You have been providing direct instruction and students are not performing as well on assessments as you would like. You have also heard a few students talking about how they are struggling to understand the lesson after your instruction and that they were confused by the examples you provided.
    Considering the various needs of the learners in your classroom and what strategies might be most applicable to support the standards you are teaching is an important part of planning. Use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” and “ELM-580 Class Profile” to complete this assignment. Select a grade level and two ELA standards (one reading and one writing) from the state you plan to teach in to develop a lesson plan that is culturally responsive and differentiated to meet the various needs of students in the “ELM-580 Class Profile.” Include the following in your lesson plan:
    Culturally responsive instructional strategies and materials that engage, motivate, and meet the diverse and specific needs of the students
    Culturally responsive and differentiated practices that meet the learning needs of the students
    Part 2: Justification of Culturally Responsive Teaching
    Write a 500-750 word rationale explaining the instructional decisions you made throughout the planning of your lesson in Part 1. Include the following in your rationale:  
    Explain how a student’s culture and cultural beliefs can affect their learning. Justify how the instructional strategies and materials are culturally responsive and how they are used in the lesson to motivate, engage, and meet the diverse and specific needs of students.
    Discuss how you adapted/differentiated your plan to deliver standards-based instruction and assessment that is culturally responsive and fits the learning needs of all the students, including students with diverse cultural backgrounds, English language learners, and students with exceptionalities.
    Describe an activity for the next day’s lesson that would integrate listening and speaking and review the learning objective for this lesson.
    Support your assignment with 2-3 scholarly resources.
    Submit your lesson plan, rationale, and resources as one document. 
    Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to the teacher toolkit you created in ELM-555.
    While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines,
