You have researched and read about SMART goals in this week. Part of your weekly assignment requires you to create SMART goals to address your strengths and areas of improvement. You also need to think about creating a professional development plan around maximizing your strengths and cultivating these areas of improvement. In your post:
Share the SMART goals you created to enhance the strengths you identified in your teaching self-assessment. Also share your SMART goals for those areas in which you require improvement.
Share the professional development activities that will help you reach your SMART goals.
Note: People often learn best by doing. Certainly, there is value in taking a class or reading a book about an area in which you want to grow. In your discussion post and assignment, it is alright to include some of these activities, but also push yourself to engage in active learning exercises. For example, perhaps, you could obtain a mentor from someone in your district who is an expert in the skill you hope to develop. Perhaps, you could ask one of your colleagues to observe your teaching practice and provide you with feedback.

For this assignment, you will create a presentation for parents explaining to them the referral, eligibility, and service processes. You may use PowerPoint or any other presentation application. You will start work on the assignment here in Week 4, and then submit it in Week 5.
Prepare for this assignment as follows: Arrange a time to interview an education professional who works with at least one student who has been identified as eligible for special education. You may conduct this interview in person, by phone, or through a free video conferencing tool such as Zoom or Google Meet.
Reflect on the following:
Insights gained in regard to referring, assessing, identifying, and serving students with special needs
Technology in the referral and identifying process
Changes in perspective regarding family involvement, and the role of a professional
Questions and areas of growth related to special education and students with disabilities in order to be an effective teacher for all of your students?
Ask about any components of the presentation you need clarification
Required components of your presentation:
A brief introduction and conclusion
Information from your course text
Information from at least two additional resources
Final slide that includes APA-style references for every resource used
Include a brief explanation of the following terms and acronyms, using your own words:
IDEA
ADA
FERPA
RtI
Eligibility categories (there are 13 categories)
Referral
Eligibility
IEP
LRE
Related services
Assistive technology
504 plan
Identify and explain the role of 3 collaborators that are key to the special education process.
This Assignment is your presentation for parents explaining to them the referral, eligibility, and service processes. Recall that you may use PowerPoint or any other presentation application.
Before submission, ensure that you include information from your course text and at least two additional resources. Include APA references for every resource used.

This is a critical literature review, I will give the part I have done, please help me finish remaining part: literature review 9 pages, critical analysis 9 pages, implication for practice 4 pages and conclusion 2 pages. Please note that the part you write must be connected with my previous part. The total sources is 20. I have mentioned 7 sources in the pervious part. I will give you 13 sources, if you think these 13 articles have some doesn’t fit my topic you can change it. But please make sure the remaining part mentioned all 13 articles. Please also be aware of plagiarism and AI check. The key theory is David Kolb’s experiential learning, please keep mind of this theory. Thank you!
Here is the paper requirements:
1.Describe the context for your work on this topic. For example, are you focusing on adults in the public or private sector? a particular industry? entry level or seasoned practitioner? people within a particular culture? characteristics of the organization in question?
2) Define the topic you are exploring, and identify the databases you explored for this discussion. Your literature review should include key authors in the field who have defined the issues and key theories. It should also cover key research studies on the topic. If your review results show up with too much literature, it is a signal that you have not sufficiently limited your topic. Seek to limit it by contextual variables, such as the industry in which you are interested, or studies conducted in the last 5 or 10 years.
3) Do not discuss each work in depth as you would in a book review. A literature review focuses on identifying patterns. On the other hand, you should provide enough depth so that
your readers understand the nature of the work being discussed.
4) Your literature review should also be critical. By that we mean, you should identify assumptions, values, and beliefs that influence the design of studies (for example, too much
focus on a particular population; a viewpoint that leads an author to a narrow focus that misses other important issues; research that does not consider class, race, or gender).
5) Use the literature to draw implications for practice. For example:
▪ What are the major problems of practice that emerge as a result of this review?
▪ What implications does the literature hold for program design, development, and implementation?
▪ What assumptions of the profession (and those you hold individually) are called into question as a result of this literature review?
