Many students struggle academically across content areas because they are performing below grade level in reading. The ability to assess students, analyze assessment data, and work with families and other stakeholders to develop specific intervention plans is critical in helping all students achieve their academic goals. Clearly communicating information about student skills and proposed interventions to all stakeholders can ensure collaboration in the development and implementation of the plan.
Review the “Reading Case Studies” and select a student that will be the focus of the assignment. Using the data provided, develop an intervention plan for the student. The 500-750 word intervention plan should address the following:
Explanation of current reading performance for the student, including specific grade level literacy performance data.
Identification of at least two assessments that could be administered to obtain more data on the student’s strengths and areas of need.
Identification of at least two state grade level/content area standards that align with the student’s learning needs.
Creation of two reading performance objectives for the student to meet, within the context of the identified state standards.
Selection of two interventions to help the student progress toward meeting the selected grade level/content area standards. Include a rationale for the use of each intervention.
Description of two progress monitoring/summative assessments that could be used to document and monitor student progress, including the frequency of implementation. At least one online tool should be included.
Identification of at least one technology-based application or program that will help the student build literacy skills and a rationale how use of the tool will benefit the student.
Support the intervention plan with 2-3 resources.
While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines

In the scenario presented in the second discussion question in Topic 2, an educational researcher is interested in examining at least two variables and student motivation in a high school mathematics classroom. Using the two additional variables you identified, create and provide two potential research questions that the researcher could investigate in this study. How might these questions help the researcher investigate what needs to be known about the variables? What feasibility considerations should the researcher keep in mind when planning this study? What other considerations do you have for designing a quantitative study with these variables? Explain.

Assignment – Lesson Plan
Ralph Tyler’s model of curriculum development identified objectives as the basis for selecting, organizing and assessing the experience of the learner.
Based on your area of specialization, select a topic and design a lesson plan for an age group of your choice.
Your plan should reflect an alignment among the major elements of Tyler’s model (objectives, content, method and evaluation).
Ensure that your objectives are SMART and formulated to capture the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.
Include video related to topic, power point presentation, formative assessment questions, group work activities and exit ticket.

USING GENERAL CURRICULUM ENDORESEMENT AREA
Assignment (Step) 1: Develop thePresent Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) that includes a summary of assessment data, strengths and weaknesses, and the impact of the disability on the student’s educational progress. The PLAAFP should include a narrative of student strengths and weakness, parental input, behavioral concerns, and testing data. Address the following considerations (see VDOE IEP Guidance Document, 2011, pp. 12-14). NOTE: Use the case study (see the attached case studies document) that aligns with the special education endorsement area (ECSE, GCK12, or ACK12) that you are seeking in your teacher education program.
Consider the grade-level content standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled or would be enrolled based on the age of the student. What is the content area standard? What does the content area standard say that the student must know and be able to do?
Analyze the classroom and student data to determine where the student is functioning in relation to the grade-level standards.
Consider the factors related to the student’s disability and how they affect how the student learns and demonstrates what the student knows. Include data from evaluations, classroom and state assessments, observations, information from students and parents, and other resources. Identify the skills and knowledge that the student needs to achieve to meet the academic grade-level content standards. Identified needs will be used to develop the annual IEP goals and short-term objectives.

It is important to note that the first reaction most principals have to situations such as the one described in the case study is to deflect blame towards the school district. Although never easy, being a professional means working with what you have and making decisions with the resources available. Metaphorically, throwing your hands in the air and lamenting that the school district is to blame does nothing to address the issues. Successful school leaders develop a holistic perspective that sees the bigger picture.
The purpose of this assignment is to address how site administrators can strive to accommodate all stakeholders while taking responsibility for what happens on the school campus.
Part 1: Case Analysis
Respond to the case study by addressing the following :
Brief summary of the case
Identify the issues to be resolved
Stakeholders involved in the issues
One or two existing laws or court rulings that relate to the issues
District policies that relate to the issues
Possible solutions to the issues
The solutions chosen to resolve the issues
Action steps (2-5) for implementing each solution, including a timeline for each step
Potential moral and legal consequences of each solution
Part 2: Rationale
Support the case analysis with a 250-500 word rationale explaining the solutions you chose and how each solution:
Reflects professional ethics, integrity, and fairness.
Promotes social justice and ensures that individual student needs inform all aspects of schooling.
Promotes collaboration, trust, learning, and high expectations.
Cite the case and any other source documents as appropriate.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and any source documents should be referenced using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
