Part I. Inferential Statistics Concepts and Assumptions
Discuss the following terms in your own words and give an example:
What is the standard error of measurement?
What is the standard error of the mean?
Please discuss the term confidence interval.
What are the four main assumptions for parametric statistics? (State the name of the assumption and explain the assumption in your own words)
Why is it important to test the assumptions before conducting parametric statistical analyses?
Part II. Standard Error of the Mean and Confidence Intervals
A district-wide test is used to measure math aptitude in freshmen in high school students, with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 12. Thirty-six selected freshmen took the test, and their mean score was 85. You are tasked to examine if these students are significantly different from the district test group.
Calculate the standard error of the mean (SEM)? (Note. SEM is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.)
Why is it better to use a 99% CI than a 95% CI?
Part III. Testing for Parametric Assumptions
A movie company wants to test if there are movies that are preferred more by females and preferred more by males. The movie company surveyed 20 men and 20 women and showed half of the sample a film that was supposed to be a movie preferred more by females (The Notebook) and males (The Godfather). In all cases, the movie company measured their excitement as an indicator of how much they enjoyed the film. Please open the movie SPSS file, and answer the following questions:
Conduct the required analyses to test for the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of the variance for the two films from the data in the movie date file.
Please write a few sentences describing the assumptions required in this exercise and whether or not they were met. Please include information from the output to support your answers.

Also how the shit down was very overwhelming

As a special educator, one of your challenges is to be proactive in identifying and implementing appropriate behavioral interventions for students with behavior concerns. Being proactive may involve establishing clear rules and consistent consequences; analyzing student and teacher behavior for causal relationships; and planning and implementing interventions that are legal, effective, and appropriate.
For this Discussion, you will review behavior data sheets for a student in a case scenario and provide recommendations for evidence-based practices to implement at school and at home to help minimize the behavior.
Post a response that addresses the following:
Provides an analysis of the behaviors, antecedents, and consequences for Matt based on the data sheets from the Northgate School
Explains at least two evidence-based practices that you would suggest to the teachers to implement for Matt (Provide a rationale for each practice, explaining why you chose the intervention and how it meets the individual needs of the student.)
Explains one additional evidence-based strategy that you would give to family members to implement at home for the behavior
Matt’s Data Sheet attached to files.

Last week you read Chapter one. This week you are required to read it again.
1) In a full paragraph describe what the content you now notice. What stands out to you that did not last week?
From your Textbook
“Several professions enrich the heritage of early childhood. This relationship has been apparent since the first nursery schools began, drawing from six different professions to create their practice: social work, home economics, nursing, psychology, education, and medicine. Three of the most consistent and influential of those disciplines are medicine, education, and psychology (Gordon & Browne, 2016, p. 12)”.
2) List the three most major disciplines that influenced early childhood education and describe the significance in a full paragraph for each.
3) Review your major assignment-Critical Issues. After reading Chapter 1-4, would you add any critical issues that as a class we should investigate?

Read Wartime Shipyard Child Care Centers Set Standards for Future
4) Reflect on this article and Chapter One. What trends do you notice and how do they impact the field of early childhood?
What will you do now?

How and when will you use this information? Reflect on how this week’s assignment supports these learning objectives for the course. No response is needed for this reflection; however, ask yourself if your responses to this project meet the goals.
Explain how societal views of childhood have impacted the way we care for and educate young children by:
Identifying historical roots
Distinguishing the major disciplines that influence the field
Investigate the major current issues involving ECE
Describe how early education models influenced children’s learning and the environments in which they can learn by:
Differentiating the evolution of educational trends and impact of ECE

Each student is expected to submit a final Action Plan outlining 2-3 main (umbrella) projects and project goals for school improvement, and, as appropriate, sub-goals/objectives referencing back to the umbrella goal(s). This plan of action should identify what you intend to accomplish to improve Student Achievement during your internship. Please reference each of the 10 PSEL Standards in your plan, identifying a rationale, goals, activities, and potential corresponding artifacts for meeting each approved standard.
Professor make a Coment In reviewing you action plan draft for the Quitman Street School in Newark you did a sound job. You listed 2 projects. Project 1 focused on curriculum improvement and alignment with academic objectives and project 2 focused on professional training and development for school leaders. Your objectives were sound. The PSEL standards are appropriate. Your strategy and activities are sound.

Answer the Following Questions after Reading the Case Study.
1. Mr. Olson suggested that they call the event a Holiday Party and try to include “all of the holidays.” What do you think he meant by “all of the holidays?” Do you believe his suggestion is a good one? Why or why not?
2. What kind of privilege can happen when teachers and schools turn decision-making over to parents? How can teachers and schools encourage parent engagement and empowerment and ensure that multiple viewpoints are heard?
3. What role can teachers play in either ensuring equity or enshrining privilege in the ways that they communicate with or “hear” from different parents? How can a teacher’s biases, perhaps sub-conscious, impact who is truly “heard”?
4. If you were in Ms. Tate’s shoes, would you encourage the group to refocus its efforts on a winter theme instead of a holiday theme, or wait until next year and be more proactive with anticipating the issue?
