Recommendations for Homeschooling Studies
It is time to expand homeschooling studies beyond the typical examinations of academic achievement, student socialization, and parental motivation to homeschool. The findings from this study introduced new avenues of inquiry that may be worth pursuing including investigations into the emotionally-charged interactions between parents and students and the lack of writing instruction among some homeschooling families. Based on these discoveries, I would recommend two future studies:

How do students handle these interactions? Are academic subjects dropped due to
tensions between parents and students?
Another valuable homeschooling study could revolve around why some parents do not teach writing. For instance, the study could begin with a brief survey sent to 500+
homeschooling families asking how many homeschooling parents teach writing, how they teach it, and with what frequency it is taught, followed up by a multiple case study of families who do 199 not teach writing. Some questions to be addressed could include the following: What reasons factor into an avoidance of teaching writing?What is the writing self-efficacy of those students who have not been formally taught writing?

“The Living Mountain” – Nan Shepherd, Review

You are required to write a 2,500-word essay that identifies key themes connected with the syllabus of Anthropology of Place in a book of your choice.

Identify themes that are implicit in the writing, and critically discuss and contextualize them with reference to what has been covered on the lessons.

AAOP1 is about quality and not ‘quantity’. A few themes(5 or so) well identified and discussed will suffice. The book needs to be a hybrid between an ethnography and travel writing and must not be an academic publication. – Use “The Living Mountain” by Nan Shepherd.

Demonstrate a critical understanding of key themes, principles and concepts commonly found in the disciplines of cultural and environmental anthropology.

Draw on evidence from a range of sources including traditional ecological knowledge to critically analyze themes and concepts relevant to adventure education and adventure & cultural tourism.

Professional development plan

If you were to create a professional development plan to address new technology issues in your organization, what would you recommend as the core components of this type of professional development plan?

Do you think that a professional development plan will work to motivate and educate teachers to embrace new technologies in their classrooms?

Is there a different approach that you could use as an administrator to encourage teachers to embrace new technologies in their classrooms?

What motivational theories would apply, and how would you use them?

How might you use the effective domain and taxonomy in this situation?

In creating a professional development plan that addresses the issue of technology, you must include the people it will affect the most. The stakeholders in the organization consist of administrators, teachers, parents, and students. The plan is for administrators to get teachers on board, and then in turn the teachers get the parents, and students on board (if necessary.) To do that, we must get to the root of the problem and/or its sub-problems. Key components in creating this plan are:

*Identifying or defining the problem- What is causing or caused the apprehension in using new technology in the classroom? Having parents and employees to complete a survey or questionnaire where they can voice their concerns about the technology will give you an outline.

*What do you hope your outcomes will be? Based on the responses you receive; you will then know what direction to go in when brainstorming possible solutions. What do you hope to gain from the use of technology? What length of time will be allowed to elapse for results? The use of technology will allow learning to take place more efficiently, which will hopefully produce an increase in the learning abilities of both educators and students. Learning will be determined based on assessments that will be completed. The length of time allotted will be commensurate with educational objectives and based on school calendars. Your desired outcome is to have teachers properly trained and prepared to implement the use of technology during instruction.

*How will you reach your desired goal? Reaching your desired goal will require pre-service training, regular classroom observation, regular evaluations with feedback from both teachers and students.

*Implement the plan and upon review make any necessary changes to the plan so that it will be utilized to its full capabilities (MUSE- Developing an Action Plan.)
