Introduction Activity

WELCOME!
As you enter, please select a picture that  represents you as a learner in the  Tarleton Doctoral Program in Educational  Leadership
Dr. Don M. Beach, Tarleton State University

Reflect on the opening activity for class introductions and describe in writing (3-5 paragraphs) the key aspects such as who, what, when, where, and perhaps why.

Students entered the class.  Dr. Beach placed the picture cards and the front table and stated that we are to pick a picture that best represents us as doctoral students.

Students walked up to the table and picked pictures.  Some students talked about the pictures they picked.  Some students were deciding from several different pictures before deciding on one picture.  Dr. Beach was at his desk also giving feedback on the students’ chosen pictures they were picking.

Students returned to their seats and waited for further instructions from Dr. Beach.  Dr. Beach introduced himself first and then stated that anyone could go next.  As each student presented their picture Dr. Beach smiled and gave feedback.

In concluding the introductory activity Dr. Beach started the lesson.

We are meant to write a description of the protocol/methodology used in tonight’s picture activity.  The who, what, why, when, where, and maybe why of the activity.

Field Trip Prep

Field trips connect students to the real world. When carefully planned, field trips are beneficial and offer students a different cultural experience outside of the classroom. Field trips allow teachers to teach a lesson that engages each and every student in the learning.

Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation for a proposed field trip you will present to your mentor teacher for feedback in your clinical field experience in Topic 6. The purpose of the field trip is to allow students to experience the real-world environment of science and social studies and share this experience with their parents.

Include the following in your presentation:

  • • Explain the location, curricular focus of the field trip, and the classroom connection to support the learning.
  • • State the science and social studies standards and objectives for the field trip.
  • • Explain a learning activity to prepare students for field trip that would support science, social studies, and cross-content learning for young children.
  • • Describe an activity that students will complete with their parents upon returning from the field trip. The activity must include technological resources that promotes the academic growth and development of the students . • Any other necessary items or requirements to ensure the field trip is organized, prepared, and safe.
  • • Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes. The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Case Study Assignment: Biloxi Bans “To Kill a Mockingbird”

Read the following: (In Files)

1. Biloxi School District Pulls “To Kill a Mockingbird” From Eighth Grade Lesson Plan.

2. ACLU of Mississippi Defends Freedom to Read “To Kill a Mockingbird” After School Ban.

3. Did Biloxi Follow Its Own Policy in Banning “To Kill a Mockingbird”?

4. Section 21.14: Challenges to Instructional Materials and/or Library/Media Resources, Instructional Leadership Handbook, from the UASA website.

5. Locate your school policy and guidelines for challenges to instructional materials and/or library/media resources.

Course Emails Policies

Gather the policies on emailing in this course. You will find the course policies on the syllabus. Create an effective one-page document that states these policies that are currently only available on the syllabus. See pages 14 and 15 for a model of a poster, although yours should not be two pages. See page 160 as a model specific to how to organize. See pages 264 and 265 as a model related to white space and then space for text and graphics, including the idea of chunking. Your audience will be students who take this course since you are writing about the email policies for this course. You should use a combination of color and graphics and text to make this “poster” informative. Cover this course’s email policies and if you think the idea wise, perhaps a few netiquette guidelines learned. Be careful, though, the poster should be narrow in focus. Be professional in your creation. Be creative.
Below is the course email policies:::

Email Communication: the salutation and signature
Address the person to whom you are sending the email, especially if the email is the first one in an exchange. Here are some sample options of address aka the salutation–

Hi, Ms. Grace,

Hello, Ms. Grace

Ms. Grace,

In turn, I will email you with,

Hi, Karen,

Good afternoon, Carl,

Hello, Anthony,

After we have each addressed the other, you do not necessarily have to start with the salutation, but you should always do that on the first one in this formal academic setting. This guideline is for each email exchange, not just for the first email of the semester.

Finally, e-sign your email.

You write your last sentence, which ends with a period. Then you space down a line or two to type your name. Your first will do. But you can type your first and last.

Web-Based Assessment Assignment Instructions

 Overview

Formative and summative assessments provide teachers the necessary feedback they need to determine the level of proficiency and understanding each student has acquired during or following a lesson.  Technology can be an effective way to measure student understanding while providing options for students to demonstrate their comprehension.  Therefore, the objective of this assignment is to build a current (developed within the last five years) web-based assessment to use as a demonstration for your students to model as they create their own.  It would be beneficial if you looked into  options that you are less familiar with.  Look for ways to grow your own expertise and stretch your understanding.

Instructions

To complete this assignment, you will:

  • Choose a concept from your curriculum that can be assessed through a web-based design. For example, asking students to describe the steps of the water cycle.
  • Then, create a technology based assessment you would show your students as an example of the product they will create. For example, you might allow students to create a stop-motion animation, an Infographic, or comic book of the water cycle.  So, you create a stop-motion animation, Infographic, or comic book sample of what you would expect them to develop.
  • After you have made your sample, create a recording (2-5 minutes) of you explaining your demonstration to your students and showing them how to build their own project.  If you are not in a classroom, you may use a screenrecording or record yourself as if you have students.
  • Submit your video lesson. Ensure you clarify acceptable options for students with special needs.  Include a copy of the rubric you would use to grade the project-based assessment

Part 1—Video Lesson

Your lesson will need to use technology to demonstrate an example of a web-based assessment that you have developed.  You will video record your demonstration to your students; this may be a screenrecording or a video of yourself demonstrating what the students would do.  Students will imitate your example as they create their own web-based assessment.  This can be live or it can be a screen-recording.  The video must be at least 2 minutes and no longer than 5 minutes. It must include visuals and audio. Finally, it must be uploaded to a sharing location (like YouTube, SchoolTube, TeacherTube, Vimeo, DropBox, Google  or Box.Net) as well as your blog.

Part 2—Written Rubric

Finally, once you have demonstrated your example, write a sample rubric to demonstrate how you will assess the students’ work.  Submit the rubric with your video.

Submission Procedures

Post the video to your blog and then submit the video and the rubric in Canvas.
