Inclusion is a key priority within the education. Discuss critically the concept of the ‘inclusive school’ and its implications for the education system in general, and for you as an individual teacher in particular.

Your answer should be 3000 words in length and address the following criteria:

  1. Reflect critically on those aspects of your educational issue specified in your question, showing a high level of critical awareness in the discussion.
  1. Support and explores thinking, where appropriate, by use of references to; placement experience; issues covered in course classes; academic reading, in particular, relevant academic journals. 
  1. Write in an accurate, clear, structured and coherent manner, within the appropriate standards of academic presentation, including referencing conventions.

The assignment is marked out of 100. You have to score at least 50/100 to pass at this Level.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT?

In order to address assessment criterion1:

You should discuss and critique some theory and demonstrate an understanding and critical overview of Inclusion.

The key discussion must relate to theory and research using academic reading. If you reference you school placement you should ensure that it is relevant, and is being used to exemplify or help explain what the research/ theory says.

In order to address assessment criteria 2 and 3:

These are identical for all assignments. You should know by now how to meet them. However, it seems necessary to stress again that:

  • You must use the APA referencing convention accurately
  • You MUST read again the guidance in the Rubric
  • What you write must be your own work

General Criteria:

  • Addresses task in a clear, structured, coherent manner
  • Demonstrates critical understanding of the concept of inclusion within education, including detailed knowledge of theoretical and political considerations and perspectives
  • Analyses the practical and professional implications of inclusion policies for the school system and for teachers, reflecting a high level of critical awareness in the discussion
  • Makes effective use of academic reading and other appropriate sources, including a wide range of research literature, to inform discussion and argument

Assessment Criteria:

For Assessment Criterion 1:

  1. You should make sure that you write about what theoreticians and researchers have to say about inclusion. You should make reference to an extensive range of reading
  2. You should show, by the way you analyze what you learned from your reading about assessment theory and research, that you know and understand the thinking behind the various theoretical perspectives that are out there
  3. You are able to make clear your critical understanding of that thinking by the way you state ideas, acknowledge where they came from, explain what you think they mean and challenge, using evidence from your reading, how valid they seem to be, especially where there is disagreement in the literature

For Assessment Criterion 2:

You’ll know your writing “supports and explores thinking, where appropriate, by use of references to; experience in your own school; issues covered in course classes; relevant material from core texts; course documentation and wider academic reading” if:

  1. You avoid making dogmatic, unsupported statements or assertions
  2. It is clear from what you write that you have used research literature, particularly academic journal articles
  3. You have acknowledged those sources that have influenced your thinking or, rarely, quoted directly from them. (Extensive quotation is not required and uses up valuable words)
  4. You have used APA conventions in your referencing

 

For Assessment Criterion 3:

You’ll know your assignment “is written in an accurate, clear, structured and coherent manner, within the appropriate standards of academic presentation, including referencing conventions” if:

  1. You organize your thinking in a logical way, perhaps using the bullet pointed assessment criteria above to provide a structure, but only if you wish to and only if it helps
  2. Your language conveys meaning clearly.
  3. Your ideas are well-linked, consistently using appropriate linkage devices
  4. You use mainly the third person.

Check basic literacy criteria such as:

  • Meaning must be clear at first reading.
  • The essay should be organized logically.
  • There should be few spelling errors.
  • There should be few errors in grammar.
  • Sentences should be punctuated accurately.
  • There should be few errors in the use of other punctuation devices, such as paragraphing, capitalization and apostrophe.

Construct Personal Ethical Framework

Instructions

Reflect on and construct your core ethical framework and code of ethics in terms of those values/beliefs that are patently self-evident and will not change with time, context, circumstance, or external/internal demands. Include the following:

  • From your viewpoint, explain why violating any of these ideals would be considered unethical.
  • Research the six major value types identified by Psychologist Gordon Allport. Identify and discuss into what value orientation your core ethical framework values/beliefs are based.
  • Given your core ethical framework, explain how you can expand your adaptive capacity. Support your response with additional research.

Support your framework and code with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your paper 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 writing and current APA standards.

Professional organizations expect employees to embrace ethical values such as integrity, honesty, fidelity, responsibility, and self-discipline. The best leaders exhibit these ethical values to provide inspiration to their team and build trust in the workplace, for it is through leaders modeling desired behaviors that expectations are further affirmed.

A code of ethics is broader than simply a list of acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. The code of ethics should reflect your philosophy about life and draw a connection between your values and how these inform your actions and decisions. The code should also speak to one’s philosophy. As you review and reflect on this week’s materials, you should be able to develop a code of ethics that will likely guide you in dealing with both personal and professional ethical situations.

Discuss Nietzsche’s “On the Use and Abuse of History for Life,” Berlin’s essay “The Hedgehog and the Fox,” and the posted excerpts from Tacitus’ Annals and Histories. Nietzsche give the reader three sorts of historians, Berlins provides two types, and Tacitus provides one ideal type.

Based on these texts, what are Nietzsche’s three types of historians? Berlin’s two types? On what grounds does Tacitus argue that the first duty of the historian is to pass moral judgment? Once you have addressed the substance what these three writers say, address the following question:

Which of these types seems most promising to you, as a model for history writing now? Which do you think are unworkable? Why?

What constitutes privilege? How was Anthony privileged? Not privileged? And what are his perceptions of that? How might his perception of his own privilege impact his learning opportunities and relationships in the field placement/ experience?

/in /by

Answer the following questions based on Reading the case in the attachment

  1. What constitutes privilege? How was Anthony privileged? Not privileged? And what are his perceptions of that? How might his perception of his own privilege impact his learning opportunities and relationships in the field placement/ experience?
  2. How has Anthony’s performance changed during the field placement? How does Phillip’s recognition of his increasing work effort indicate problems on the part of the student? And how might the increasing work effort on the part of the field instructor reinforce poor performance in Anthony?
  3. Richard served as Anthony’s task supervisor and Phillip served as his off-site field instructor. What were the pros and cons of off-site field instruction in this situation? Explain how supervision is in/appropriate and/or in/adequate to supporting this field placement and the student (student FI, FI to FL)? How does field instructor/ liaison identification with their field student help or hinder the relationship?

Guidelines for Discussion Board1 (Read Down Below)

Good discussion posts: Are timely. The best messages in the world won’t do any good if they’re posted after the bulk of the discussion is over! Are well written. Take time to revise your post. If your post is too long or poorly constructed, it will most likely not be read or will cause your peers frustration while trying to read it. Are “on message.” Think through your messages in advance. Carefully read and consider the assignment, the discussion prompt, and your peers’ postings before you post a response. Are generous and respectful. Suggest resources or ideas that may help others in their learning. When disagreements arise, allow others the benefit of the doubt—value deeper insight and communication over trying to prove you are right. Stimulate thinking. Pose provocative questions, raise alternative viewpoints or explanations, and provide creative, breakthrough ideas. Are grounded in evidence. Make explicit connections between course concepts and readings, your firsthand experience, and the experiences of others in your cohort. Encourage others to provide evidence. Good follow-up messages ask peers to explain “why,” helping them clarify their thoughts, uncover inconsistencies or misconceptions, and take their understanding to a new level. Move the understanding of the class forward. Raise questions and encourage your peers to raise questions. Help your colleagues address questions. Good messages also create connections between course concepts and the thoughts and ideas of others.

Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2 Instructions

Standard Deviation and Outliers

Thread:

For this assignment, you will use the Project 2 Excel Spreadsheet to answer the questions below. In each question, use the spreadsheet to create the graphs as described and then answer the question.

Put all of your answers into a thread posted in Discussion Board Forum 1/Project 2.

You must use your own work for answers to Questions 1–5. If something happens that leads you to want to make a second post for any of your answers to Questions 1–5; you must get permission from your instructor.

  1. A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation.

What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation? Do not just give a numerical value for the change. Explain in sentence form what happened to the standard deviation.

  1. Create a data set with 8 points in it that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 1. Use the second chart to create a second data set with 8 points that has a mean of approximately 10 and a standard deviation of approximately 4. What did you do differently to create the data set with the larger standard deviation?

 

  1. Go back to the spreadsheet and clear the data values from Question 1 from the data column and then put values matching the following data set into the data column for the first graph.

50, 50, 50, 50, 50.

Notice that the standard deviation is 0. Explain why the standard deviation for this one is zero. Do not show the calculation. Explain in words why the standard deviation is zero when all of the points are the same. If you don’t know why, try doing the calculation by hand to see what is happening. If that does not make it clear, try doing a little research on standard deviation and see what it is measuring and then look again at the data set for this question.

 

  1. Go back to the spreadsheet one last time and put each of the following three data sets into one of the graphs. Record what the standard deviation is for each data set and answer the questions below.

Data set 1:       0, 0, 0, 100, 100, 100

Data set 2:       0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100

Data set 3:       0, 40, 45, 55, 60, 100

Note that all three data sets have a median of 50. Notice how spread out the points are in each data set and compare this to the standard deviations for the data sets. Describe the relationship you see between the amount of spread and the size of the standard deviation and explain why this connection exists. Do not give your calculations in your answer—explain in sentence form.

For the last 2 questions, use the Project 1 Data Set.

  1. Explain what an outlier is. Then, if there are any outliers in the Project 1 Data Set, what are they? If there are no outliers, say no outliers.
  2. Which 4 states have temperatures that look to be the most questionable or the most unrealistic to you? Explain why you selected these 4 states. For each state, give both the name and the temperature.

 

 

Explain how the design of the TA can inform the levels or types of supports and challenge the learner might need for subsequent instruction.

/in /by

1. Create 1 task analysis from the following skill selections: Functional Academic Skill, Communication Skill, Interpersonal or Self-help Skill, based on measurable IEP Goals. Thus, a complex skill can be taught by using chaining.

2.Design a detailed task analysis (TA) that includes at least the following components:
Is aligned with the learning goal for which graduate candidate creates; making sure performance is measurable. For those candidates who have their own classroom, you may use a target student and use goals from his/her IEP.
Allows for specific feedback from the teacher to the learner
Measures the degree to which the learning goal has been achieved
Provides sufficient information upon which to design subsequent, appropriate instruction
Explain how the TA enables the learner to monitor his/her own learning progress.
Explain how the design of the TA can inform the levels or types of supports and challenge the learner might need for subsequent instruction.

3.List the instructional strategies and learning tasks you will use for each day of instruction (You should create a chart designed to reflect the skill being taught) chart should include: Graduate Candidate/Teacher name, Student learner name, goal/skill acquisition target, materials needed, recording Key, Criterion, Teaching Methods (Independently, Verbal/Physical Prompts, Physical Prompt (to be faded), hand-over-hand)

4.Written Analysis:
Explain how these strategies and learning tasks are sequenced to:
(a) Move your learner toward achievement of the learning goal you previously identified
(b) Build connections between your focus learner’s prior learning and experiences and what he/she will learn
(c) Provide appropriate levels of challenge and support associated with your focus learner’s strengths, needs and interests
(d) Move the focus learner toward generalized, maintained, and/or self-directed use of the knowledge or skills he/she will acquire.
Explain the way in which research from the textbook (theory and/or evidence-based strategies) informed your selection of the strategies and learning tasks you decided to use in creating your task analysis and how this TA will benefit your student learner.
