During your replay of the video or live observation, focus on the teaching strategies seen.
You will also complete either Appendix B or C (charts used for the EE2 assignment). This will give you an opportunity to practice using one of these charts for documentation purposes.
Grading of these reflections is complete/incomplete and grading is not based on your use of practices but on your ability to reflect. The hope is that your ability to engage in self-reflection will become deeper and more descriptive by the end of the semester.
The written/typed reflections will be based on the dimensions of reflection (Nagro et al., 2017):
Describe: What were the specific elements of each strategy you observed – how did it look? Describe how each strategy was used. Objective, concrete descriptions of the strategy can include detailed descriptions of context (environment, instruction, etc).
Analyze: Explain the rationale for using each strategy in this particular instance/description. Analyze the use of each strategy in relation to coursework and/or knowledge of the strategies.
Judge: Share and defend your professional judgment regarding the success of each strategy by identifying the effect the strategy had on child outcomes.

Write a concise (one-page) reflection summary of your technology tool’s goal, objectives, and strategies. A goal is the big outcome. What did you find that your learning community wanted to emphasize? Perhaps your community wanted to improve mathematics scores or reading scores. Or perhaps, your community wants to develop Internet safety? Let’s imagine, for example, one’s goal was to improve reading scores. The candidate would restate this as a measurable statement (e.g., each student will increase their reading scores by one grade level from their existing ability by the end of the school year.). Now, the candidate needs to write their objectives to accomplish this goal. Using the above reading example, the candidate might state, “Each student will add 20 sight words to their reading list each quarter”, or, “Every student will increase their vocabulary by 10% each quarter.” Finally, you must explain your strategies. How does your technology tool allow you to meet those learning objectives? An example for the above scenario might be, “Students will complete 10 minutes of Simon Says (reading app game) to practice sight words.” Once you have written your one-page reflection summary, you must write your two surveys. You may create a Google Form or simply write the surveys in Word. The first survey must evaluate the instructor’s experience with the technology tool. In the end, you want to be able to determine if the instructors found the tool helpful. Keep your survey to about 10-15 questions. You may use a Likert scale (1 = poor, 5 = excellent). Your questions might include: The technology tool was easy to use. (1 = disagree, 5 = strongly agree) The technology tool kept students engaged. (1 = disagree, 5 = strongly agree) Similarly, you need to evaluate your students’ experience with the tool. Develop a second survey for them. These surveys would allow you to determine the next steps in your Instructional Design efforts. Use current APA format in your submission. Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

You will read the two journal articles attached and write an annotated bibliography of them. The instructions and an example of how the assignment should look and be formatted are attached.

Researching theories of child and early adolescent development and then developing instruction based on research-based best practices is crucial for the success of the students and the teacher. As an educator, your goal will be to consider the students’ cognitive development and contextual factors when planning for instruction. Practical application improves the teacher’s ability to recognize student strengths and weaknesses as well as the students’ readiness and motivation to learn. For this assignment, imagine you are the teacher described in each scenario and complete the “Strategies for all Students” template. The specific requirements for each scenario are listed below. Part 1: Developing Strategies For each student, write a 150-200 word response that includes: A learning theory that applies specifically to each student’s unique cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and physical developmental needs. State the learning theory and why it is appropriate for the student. Research support is required. One developmentally appropriate instruction strategy you would recommend (refer to the assigned readings) to assist the student, taking into account the students’ individual strengths, interests, differences, and needs. Consider cognitive development and abilities, as well as contextual factors (e.g., language and culture) when developing the strategies. Your plan to modify instruction to meet this student’s specific needs. Keep in mind, a modification is a change to the content or curriculum. Strategies to incorporate accommodations for students with exceptionalities in assessments and testing conditions. Remember, an accommodation is a support to help the student work on the current content successfully. Part 2: Reflection In 250-500 words, write a reflection that addresses the following: The importance of understanding cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and physical development of children when designing and modifying instruction. The steps you can take to ensure you are creating developmentally appropriate instruction that considers individual students’ strengths, interests, differences, and needs. Describe the instructional strategies that can be used to promote student learning and individual development, acquisition of knowledge, and motivation. Support your assignment with a minimum of three scholarly resources. While APA style format 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, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

CAREER RESEARCH PAPER The goals of this assignment are to help you: Become more knowledgeable about finding and using varied research sources in your major and your career choice. Further develop your critical thinking skills and your ability to back up your points with evidence. Become more adept at synthesizing information and developing informed views. Learn to follow a scholarly research format to document in-text sources and design a reference page (bibliography). Compose a well organized, clear, concise, research paper to expand your knowledge on your major and career. Approach: In this paper, you do not need to solve a problem or necessarily reach a conclusion. Instead, demonstrate that you can gather information on a particular subject, narrow it down to a particular focus, synthesize the information and make some scholarly, astute interpretations about the topic. A significant part of the paper should be your interpretation of the information and how your knowledge about the subject has been enriched. Please do not simply regurgitate the information you found. Sources: Your paper will not be substantive unless you have substantive sources. Find 3 to 5 VARIED and CURRENT SOURCES (not all Internet sites, for example) including professional journal articles and professional publications, Internet sources, and possibly (but not required) an interview. It is important to find sources that you can understand, relate to where you are in your major and career, and also challenge you intellectually. The Montclair State Library is a great place to start: https://www.montclair.edu/library/Links to an external site. At least two of the sources should be from the past three years (2018-2022) and if available we suggest that you include 1 peer reviewed article). Try to utilize some journals in your major, interviews, newspaper or magazine articles, and other resources that are germane to your major and career. Please incorporate your FOCUS 2 results throughout the paper. Do not rely solely on Internet sources (no Wikipedia). Make sure to check the source of all information for reliability. Is the Internet site sanctioned by a reputable institution or organization? If you are conducting an interview, does the person you will interview have credentials and experience with your subject? Does he or she have a built in bias you need to address in your paper? Additional Requirements: This paper should be 6-8 pages in length specifically on content (title page and reference page do not count in the total number of content pages) and must be typed and double-spaced in a 12-point font (Times New Roman) with 1-inch margins. This paper should include a bibliography/reference page and should be in APA (Education Studies concentration) or MLA (Humanities concentration) format.
