Assignment #2 is designed to help you understand your students by offering a narrative written by Elizabeth Ballard. The narrative titled, “Three Letters from Teddy” focuses on a teacher and her student. As future educators, you are expected to teach all of your students, but oftentimes, teachers fall short of targeting the academic needs of students. You will learn this by reading “Three Letters from Teddy”. The story’s link is bellow:

This assignment will require you to research the “Texas Educator’s Code of Ethics.” You will be responsible for identifying “standards” that all teachers in the State of Texas must follow in public schools.

There, you will examine Three Letters from Teddy and identify standards that were met and those standards that were not met by the teacher, Mrs. Thompson. More specifically, your focus should also be on legal implications and the positive and negative actions that the teacher displayed towards her student, Teddy.

Mini Course: LMS Selection Assignment Instructions

 

Overview

 Educators must develop a learning environment that reflects how people learn in today’s world (Veletsianos, 2016). Student satisfaction and whether distance learning techniques can provide equivalent learning as face-to-face instruction are two main areas of concern when implementing distance learning (Moore & Diehl, 2018). It is important to understand distance education varies in effectiveness just as traditional face-to-face learning (Moore & Diehl, 2018). Creating an organized, cohesive online course is extremely important (Nilson & Goodson, 2018). When creating a mini course such as this one it is important to make sure all your course elements align (Nilson & Goodson, 2018). Nilson & Goodson (2018) state that if you can take any activity in your course (assignment, assessment, discussion, etc.…) and align it with your course objectives you improve learning as much as fourfold.

 

Instructions

The learner audience for your project will fall into one of the three categories:

  1. K-12 or Higher Ed. students. For this learning audience option, you will build your mini-course using content that already exists from a unit you have taught on a critical topic. The mini-course you create will be used as part of a blended/flipped classroom approach.
  2. Adult learners from your work setting. For this learning audience option, you are choosing a topic that you can use for training purposes at your current work setting.
  3. Adult learners in the general population. If neither of the above two scenarios fits your current setting, you may use a simulated audience.

Identify Topic and Course Objectives:

  • You will want to identify a topic for your mini course and provide 3-5 course objectives.
