Renaldo has far outreached the doctors’ predictions for his future abilities. Write an essay relating this case to the research literature about low expectations threatening to limit a child.
Dig deep on your reflection of the case study. What are your personal thoughts about the situation, do you have any person connection to any of the issues mentioned in the case study, how would you have handled things differently, do you agree with what happened, how might the knowledge of this case study impact your future classroom. There is no right or wrong for this part, unless you do do it of course 😉

How does the development of the brain impact our students’ academics, social skills and physical development? As educators, how will you monitor their progress or lack of?

Here’s an outline for a 4-6 minute interactive slide presentation on the life cycle of a pumpkin for 1st grade, based on Florida standards. This presentation will incorporate visuals, questions, and interactive elements to engage students. Title Slide Title: The Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Subtitle: First Grade Science Image: A pumpkin patch or pumpkin growing on a vine. Biblical Integration (if desired): “For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 (Discuss the importance of seasons and how pumpkins grow over time.) Slide 1: Introduction Title: What is a Life Cycle? Text: A life cycle is the stages a living thing goes through from birth to becoming an adult. Interactive: Ask students: “What other life cycles do you know?” (e.g., butterfly, frog) Image: A simple diagram showing a pumpkin seed, sprout, and pumpkin. Slide 2: Stage 1 – Seed Title: It All Begins with a Seed! Text: A pumpkin starts its life as a small seed planted in the soil. Image: Close-up picture of a pumpkin seed. Interactive: Ask: “What do you think a seed needs to grow?” (Possible answers: sunlight, water, soil) Activity: Use physical pumpkin seeds in class and let students touch or pass them around. Slide 3: Stage 2 – Sprout Title: Growing Sprouts Text: After the seed is planted, it begins to sprout and grow into a small plant. Image: A sprout emerging from the soil. Interactive: Ask students: “How long do you think it takes for a sprout to appear?” (Discuss the time it takes.) Slide 4: Stage 3 – Pumpkin Vine Title: Pumpkin Vines Appear Text: The sprout grows long vines that stretch out and produce leaves and flowers. Image: Pumpkin vine with flowers. Interactive: Ask students to raise their hands if they’ve ever seen a vine. (Explain how vines are different from trees and bushes.) Slide 5: Stage 4 – Flowers to Fruit Title: From Flowers to Pumpkins Text: The flowers on the vine eventually turn into small green pumpkins. Image: A small green pumpkin forming on the vine. Interactive: Ask: “Have you ever seen a tiny pumpkin before?” Slide 6: Stage 5 – Full Grown Pumpkin Title: The Pumpkin is Fully Grown! Text: The pumpkin grows bigger, turns orange, and is ready to be picked. Image: Large orange pumpkins in a field. Interactive: Ask: “Who has picked a pumpkin before? Where do you think pumpkins grow best?” Slide 7: Recap of the Life Cycle Title: Let’s Review! Text: The pumpkin life cycle has five stages: Seed, Sprout, Vine, Flower, and Pumpkin. Image: A full life cycle chart. Interactive: Ask the students to point to or name the different stages of the life cycle in order. Slide 8: Activity – Build a Pumpkin Life Cycle Title: Let’s Build a Pumpkin Life Cycle! Text: Now, let’s make our own pumpkin life cycle using cut-out images. Activity: Provide cut-out pieces of the life cycle stages (seed, sprout, vine, flower, pumpkin). Let students glue them in the correct order on a worksheet. Image: An example of the completed activity. Slide 9: Fun Pumpkin Facts! Title: Did You Know? Text: Pumpkins are a type of fruit, and there are over 45 types of pumpkins! Image: A variety of pumpkins (different colors and sizes). Interactive: Ask: “What is your favorite type of pumpkin?” Slide 10: Conclusion Title: What We Learned Text: Today, we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin, from seed to full-grown pumpkin. Interactive: Review by asking: “Can anyone share one new thing they learned today?” References CASEL (2020). Social-Emotional Learning. Florida Department of Education.

Special Programs Presentation – Please read to the bottom! For this week, you will take your learning from the previous weeks and create a presentation designed for the professionals on campus you will serve when you are an educational leader. If you need extra time to create the presentation, please feel contact the instructor prior. Create these presentations with your dream goal in mind, whether that be a principal of a high school, district curriculum coordinator, etc., and create your presentation in a way that fits that career. There is no specific presentation format for this assignment, so you may choose from a video, slideshow, a flyer, or another medium. Your presentation should be accessible to colleagues of all abilities. Make sure you represent the audience or grade level that you are gearing your presentation for. Choose two of the following topics for your presentation, but do not choose your collaborative project topic. College, Career, and Military Readiness Counseling Social Emotional Learning Restorative Practices Health and Human Services Academic Preparation and Intervention Early Childhood Dyslexia Services Topics to Consider Including (which may or may not apply to all topics) Who is served by the program? How do students qualify for the program? (This may or may not apply) What does the program provide to students? Which teachers and/or staff members help to coordinate and/or support the program? What types of curriculum, interventions, and/or instructional approaches might be applicable to this student population? (This may or may not apply) How will you monitor and/or evaluate the program? (This may or may not apply) What are two mistakes people make working with students in the program, and how could they be avoided or remedied? (This might instead be applied to the mistakes parents or students make as well in their understanding or assumptions about the program) Use at least one or two peer-reviewed articles, websites, and/or resources from material other than the textbook. To obtain a higher score, you must incorporate information from at least three (3) sources. See the rubric for more information. If you decide to do a video, here are the instructions You will make a video of 8-10 minutes in length for this week (no longer than this!) with a more streamlined visual aid. You may use a PowerPoint presentation, Prezi, an infographic, a website, activities for the teachers to complete as you present, etc. as an aid to your video. To make a good video you should dress in professional attire, be professional in appearance, consider the background in the video, and have a well-lighted face (not lit from behind). Excellent audio is the most important feature It is recommended that you research and follow good presentation rules so you do not overwhelm the viewer with too much on any single slide. The presentation is a visual guide with most of the information coming from what you say in your video. *IMPORTANT: Your presentation must be accessible to colleagues of all abilities. Presentation images must have alternative text for accessibilityLinks to an external site.. If you will be using video for your aid, then it must include captioning. And if using audio, it must include an accurate transcript. Please see the UNT Audio and Video Captioning pageLinks to an external site. for more information. If you decide to do a PowerPoint presentation, flyer, or something else, please utilize the directions from the previous presentation explanations! *IMPORTANT: Make sure you represent 2 programs!

Part I. Correlation and Linear Regression
Imagine a researcher is interested in examining the relationship between self-esteem (Self_Estm) and productivity (Prod). The researcher is also interested in the ability to predict the productivity of teachers using years of teaching (Experience) as the predicting variable.
Use the “teacher’data.sav” dataset to conduct the analysis involving Self_estm, Prod, and Experience. Use this data to answer the questions below (these data have already been entered into the “teacher’data.sav” SPSS file).

In this assignment, you will expand your understanding of inferential statistics involving correlation and linear regression. Complete the following:
1. Produce an SPSS analysis for a correlation between participants’ self-esteem and productivity.
Provide the null and alternative hypotheses. (Hint: The relationship between variables.)
Discuss the difference between the Pearson correlation and the Spearman correlation. Explain when it is appropriate to use one or the other. (Hint: Level of measurement of the variables.)
Determine if a Pearson correlation or Spearman correlation will be used by conducting the assumptions tests. Explain what correlation analysis was conducted and explain why that test was conducted.
What is the measure for effect size in a correlation analysis?
Conduct the correlation analysis. What is the effect size in this correlation analysis? Explain whether it is small, medium, or large.
Report the results in APA format. (Hint: Follow the guidelines in the APA manual to report statistical results.)
What decision can be made from these results regarding the null hypothesis?
2. Produce an SPSS analysis using linear regression to examine whether participants’ years of experience predict their productivity.
Provide the null and alternative hypotheses. (Hint: This is related to prediction.)
What is the measure for effect size in a linear regression analysis?
Test assumptions of a linear regression analysis and copy/paste results.
Conduct the linear regression analysis. What is the effect size in this linear regression analysis? Explain whether it is small, medium, or large.
Report the results in APA format. (Hint: Follow the guidelines in the APA manual to report statistical results.)
What decision can be made from these results regarding the null hypothesis? Given only two variables were examined in the linear regression analysis, how does testing the significance of the linear regression equation relate to testing the significance of the Pearson correlation analysis?
Discuss how you could turn this example into a multiple regression analysis instead of a linear regression analysis.
Part II. Chi-Square
You will be entering and analyzing the following data in SPSS. When entering the data, please use 1 for Red, 2 for Yellow, and 3 for Green. Make sure that you go to the variable view window and enter these values in the label box.
Twenty senior students were asked to choose the color they preferred for their senior-class shirt. Conduct a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to test the null hypothesis that says there is no true difference in the population from which the sample was drawn.

Length: There is not a set number of pages required for this assignment. All questions in the assignment need to be answered. In addition to the answers to the assignment questions, also submit the output (.spv) file. (Note. SPSS automatically generates the .spv file as you work in SPSS. When you close your SPSS main window, SPSS will ask you if you want to save the output file. Click ‘yes’, then save to your computer and upload with your assignment.)
References: No references are required, though any sources used other than those provided within the assignment should be cited and referenced in APA format

For this assignment, you are to locate a primary research article on a Parenting topic of interest published in a scientific journal. Please make sure that the article was published in 2018 or later. A primary research article asks a research question or states a hypothesis, identifies a research population (who the study is about), describes a specific research method, tests or measures something, includes a section called methods or methodology (this may appear in the article and not the abstract), and includes a section labeled results, findings and/or conclusions. The article should have been published in the last ten years. Evaluate it in three pages (750 words; Times New Roman 12-point FONT and 1-inch margins) using your own words, by addressing the following questions:
What was the justification for the study?
What was the primary objective of the study?
Describe the methodology? Was this a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods (combination of quantitative and qualitative) study? What was the sample? What were the key constructs under study?
What were the top three findings of the study?
What was the main conclusion of the research (i.e., why are the findings important and what are their implications in the real-world?). See the rubric below.

Follow the link and watch the video: Richard Lavoie: The Motivation Breakthrough
Write a short paper in which you respond to the following prompts:
What new insights did you gain from the information presented in the video?
What new practices will you include in your classroom?
How have your perspectives about motivation changed since viewing the video?
Upload your paper as a Word document, with all three questions above clearly present in your paper, and thoroughly addressed.

1. I’m still collecting my interview data and will deliver the data as soon as I finish. FYI, the data will be in Chinese.
2. My supervisor suggested I use Knowles’ Adult learning theory as my dissertation thematic framework. My interview questions follow the adult learning process as “Goal=motivation – resources – decision – action – feedback – motivation”, so my data analysis is trying to find the connection between my research focus and Knowel’s principles.
