What is the school’s special education data broken down by race, socioeconomic status, and gender?

This week’s assignment has two parts. To educate all students equitably, it is important to understand what the achievement gap is in order to develop strategies that can reduce the gap. As consumers of information, we are constantly bombarded with news, reports, and statistics from a multitude of sources. Some of the information is true and credible; often times, it is not. Like all topics, the achievement gap may be represented differently by various media sources. Government sites and newspaper articles provide statistics that may seem conflicting; the news media may present biased views of the issues, and magazines and websites may not always be credible sources. Remember that all sources of information present that information from a certain perspective, and you should acknowledge that perspective in determining the credibility of any source.

For this assignment, find five different types of sources that address the achievement gap: 1) a scholarly journal article, 2) an article in a professional magazine, 3) a newspaper article, 4) an article on a website or social media site, and 5) a publication from a governmental site.

Part 1: Annotations

Write an annotation for each source, beginning with an appropriate APA citation. Evaluate each source for the following points: credibility, bias, accuracy, relevance, and overall informational value. Identify an appropriate audience for each source. For example, when might you cite a website instead of a journal article?

If you are new to writing annotations, you may choose to visit the Academic Success Center’s Writing Resources available at

Be sure to begin each annotation with an APA formatted reference. See page 198 section 7.01 of APA manual. Follow this basic formula:

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, Volume#(Issue#), pp-pp. doi:xx.xxxxxxxx

Part 2: Interview/Oral Reflection

Now that you have a general understanding of the achievement gap, determine how this issue is being addressed in your community schools. For the second part of this assignment, you are to interview a teacher, principal, or district level administrator within your community. Address the following points (Green 2016):

Describe how the achievement gap impacts student success in your school.

What is your school’s plan to ensure that every student has equal access to the highest quality educational experiences?

How are students grouped into classes?

How are teachers assigned to particular groups of students?

What is the school’s special education data broken down by race, socioeconomic status, and gender?

How universally accessible and culturally relevant is the curriculum and instruction?

What are some strategies you employ to help reduce the achievement gap?
Using Video Note or another audio tool, create an oral summary of your interview. Describe who you interviewed (names are not necessary). For example, “For this assignment, I interviewed the principal of Oak Creek Middle School in Colorado.” Summarize their responses to the questions above.

Length: 5 pages and a 3-5 minute oral summary of the interview

References: a minimum of five resources

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly academic writing, current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Write 2-page essay discussing the concerning behavior and utilize an ethical decision-making model to determine what steps to take to resolve the problem. The paper should include the following headings and content within each heading:

1. Introduction: Please describe the ethically concerning behaviors that you observed in the vignette.

2. Step-Wise Model: As Jane and Henry’s coworker, use the “Step-Wise Model” for ethical decision-making, discuss how you would go through each of the steps to come up with a method of intervening.

3. Advice: If you were able to speak with Jane and Henry before this scenario occurred, what practical advice and/or alternative solutions would you have given them in order to avoid the scenario that occurred?

4. Personal Reflection: How is this formal decision-making model similar and/or different from your intuitive thought process? Did the steps of the model alert you to anything unique that you might not have considered otherwise?

Ethics Vignette Paper:

(Please use the Step-wise Decision-Making Model to determine the outcome)

One day, Jane, a human service employee at MHC (a mental health clinic in your area) showed up to work a few minutes late. She rushed past the front desk clerk, Henry, and noticed that several client files had fallen on the ground and were scattered on the floor behind his desk. Given her tardiness, she stepped over the files and lightly kicked them back toward Henry’s desk so he would see them after he was finished checking a patient into the clinic. As an added precaution, Jane decided to send Henry an email from her Gmail account on her phone to let him know to clean the files up around his desk. As Jane walked into the meeting, she sent this email to Henry: “Hey Henry! Probably want to be sure you pick those up, so their private information is not seen by anyone else. Let us grab lunch later today!” As Jane finished off the email, she leaned over to you (her co-worker) and told you the above scenario. You immediately have some concerns about some of these behaviors. If you could pause time and implement the Step-Wise decision-making model, what would that look like?
