Graduate Education Assistance

Directions: Please read the notes from the instructor and I’ve included the outline down below as how the assignment should be answered. This is due within 30 hours!

Okay, here is the instructions for the Benchmark.

My error is submitting a blank profile. It is just for your use; it is not to create a class profile for this assignment. I do apologize. Perhaps that is where the confusion was---I take responsibility for that.

This assignment is due on Friday, March 26th.

For Part I, you will select two students from the attached profile and do a case study analysis for both of the students you selected from the list.

Please answer or address all four points for both students you selected.

You do NOT have to submit a class profile with those two students but the students must be from the list. Some students do, some dont.

Part II

Type a double spaced rationale addressing the three (3) bulleted points-support it with research.

Be sure to include a cover/title page

Do NOT submit in pdf format.

Please keep in mind your clinical hours forms are due by the last day of the course. Please do not wait until the last minute to get your forms signed. If you watched videos, I will be happy to sign the forms for you.

BENCHMARK

Diversity affects the culture of the classroom, the teacher’s instructional design, and the lesson planning process. A respect for diversity should be evident in the classroom through curricular materials and discussion, as well as instructional decisions that honor students’ diverse needs.

Use the “Class Profile” to complete the assignment.

Part I: Case Study Analysis

Select two students from the "Class Profile." Write a 150-250 word case study analysis for each student focused on your specific content area. ***My area is Secondary Algebra**** I’ll attach the benchmarks and goals.

Include the following:

· Brief description of student’s specific learning needs

· Learning goal for student (“Student will be able to…”), aligned to specific standard (include standard and code) **see attachment mathematicsfloridastandards.pdf

· Activity and strategies to support stated learning goal

· Assessment that would support student attainment of the learning goal, and the feedback it would provide the student

Part II: Rationale

In addition, write a 500-750 word rationale for your pedagogical decisions, answering the following:

· How would you incorporate multiple perspectives in the discussion of content, including attention to students’ personal, family, and community experiences and cultural norms to promote the student success?

· How has your planning been informed and affected by what you have learned about learning theory, human development, cultural diversity, and individual differences?

· What are some of your personal biases related to these students or opportunities for growth that require examination in order for you to become an effective teacher, specifically by promoting ethical practice, building stronger relationships with students and parents, and creating more relevant learning experiences for all students?

Support your ideas with 3-5 scholarly resources.

Please read carefully: This is the drafted outline!

For further clarification, I drafted an outline for the benchmark due Friday. Hopefully this quells any confusion. You do NOT have to use this outline. However, it will cover the instructions, objectives and rubric for this assignment. Please support your points with scholarly resources and use the appropriate format. Please do NOT submit in apa format. 

I typed Student #1 and Student #2. However you can type the student's names in that spot. Or you can leave it as is. HOWEVER, please type the name of the students you chose to write about.

Let me know if you have any questions. Have a good day. Dr. James

Below and attached is a great example of the outline for the benchmark due Friday.

 

 

TITLE

 

 

 

 

Benchmark- Classroom Diversity Case Study and Analysis

This introductory paragraph should culture, race, socioeconomic status, language,

ability, readiness, neurology, personal interests, and behavior as it relates to differentiated instructions. A good way to begin this process is to start with a class profile. Of course, one is provided for you. The purpose of this benchmark, therefore, is to a) provide a case study analysis for two students based on data from their class profile, and b) justify pedagogical decisions regarding two students by discussing multiple perspectives, development/learning theories, and educator dispositions.

 

Part I: Case Study Analysis

Below, I will discuss two students’ learning profiles from a data sheet entitled “Class Profile.” I have selected two students who vary in significant ways, __________ and _________.

Student #1

 

Validation

 

 

Learning Theory/Strategy Implemented

 

 

Assessment/Feedback

 

 

 

Student #2

 

Validation

 

 

 

Learning Theory/Strategy Implemented

Part II: Rationale

Multiple Perspectives

 

 

 

Effects of Educational Concepts on Pedagogical Decisions
