This design assignment will offer a framework of how students will be assessed using a variety of platforms and tools; in doing so, a detailed outline will be constructed for assessing students within a particular context (ex. grade or academic level, subject matter) along with learning objectives and performance objectives; and which will include a description of prospective learners; a rationale for choice of assessment instruments; as well as a discussion of practicality, reliability and validity issues; and a discussion of assessment considerations relating to students who are second language learners, or students who may have accommodation needs or learning disabilities.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: What are some websites that could be used as resources for teachers, students, or both in social studies instruction? What are some benefits and challenges of using these websites? How would you evaluate the relevance of the sites?

This final assignment brings together key skills that you have developed throughout the course that you will use in the social studies classroom. It is your opportunity to put theory into practice by designing 4 lessons that engage students in a standards’-aligned unit. Create a 1-week social studies and literacy-integrated unit plan in which you incorporate your state’s content standards for an identified grade level and ISTE Standards for Educators. To create your integrated unit plan, complete the following: Write a half-page unit introduction that explains how the unit integrates social studies and literacy elements, identifies the unit’s content and ISTE standards that will be addressed, and provides justification for why this is an elementary grade-level appropriate unit of study. Use the Lesson Plan Template to create 4 individual lesson plans for your integrated unit. Ensure that your completed unit plan does the following: Aligns with state content and ISTE Standards Develops students’ critical thinking skills Includes the use of primary and secondary sources Includes quality trade book literature in at least one lesson Includes at least 2 different writing activities that enhance or reinforce student learning and understanding Includes activities that facilitate an active learning environment Uses digital tools and resources to meet the needs of diverse learners Include technology promoting student learning in at least 2 lessons and assessments. Includes a formative assessment for each lesson The formative assessments must vary in delivery and 2 must assess both content and technology standards. Includes a summative assessment for the unit Provides an explanation of how data can be used to enhance future learning

You will observe and work with a student who has experienced stressors, adversity and/or risk factors at home or at school as identified by your field studies site supervisor. You will observe the student in at least three different settings (i.e., in the classroom, on the playground, in the counseling office, in groupsetting, participating in sports or activities, etc.) and document each of
your observations of the student, using the Observation Feedback Form. In addition, you will personally interact with the student at least three times either in individual counseling, group
counseling, or in classroom settings as approved by and in collaboration with your site
supervisor. Document your interactions using the Counseling Feedback Form. Each
interaction or observation should be approximately 15 minutes at minimum.
Finally, summarize your experience in an 5-6 page paper describing this particular
student’s background, adverse childhood experiences, internal and environmental
protective factors, cultural background, family dynamics and any other pertinent personal
information. Remember to keep names and identities confidential by using pseudonyms (OG will be student’s name).
Determine what the school is doing to foster resiliency for this student specifically (and
resiliency for ALL students at the school) with reference to the six parts of Henderson’s
Resiliency Wheel, CASEL’s SEL competencies, and transformationist trauma-informed
strategies. What are the observable Tier 1, 2, and 3 practices at the school site and how do
they support student resilience? Finally, make recommendations for additional steps that
the school could take toward fostering student resiliency.
I have attached the notes for all the meetings, also extra notes and the rubric plus a breakdown of the paper

Objective – Learners will observe children within an EC/ECSE classroom who are suspected of having an IEP/IFSP, or are getting referred, or evaluated for special education services. Learners will capture and document their observations using the low inference observation form and will then use the information to guide them in completing this assignment.
Part I: Descriiption of the Physical Environment *Needs to be written in narrative form*
Step 1: This step calls for you to provide an overview of the physical classroom environment where you conducted your observations. As you consider the physical environment, be sure to consider the diverse needs of your learners (e.g., learners with physical limitations and/or learners who are bilingual). Consider the layout, visuals displayed and materials within centers.
Part II: Learner Profile *Needs to be written in narrative form*
This section calls for you to provide a descriiption of three (3) children who are suspected of having an IEP/IFSP, or are getting referred, or evaluated for special education services. However, for this assignment you will be expected to complete the Learner Profile for one of your learners. First, state what the domain includes, then using the CDC milestone, indicate what skills typically developing children should be displaying based on the age of your learner and for the different domains. For example, according to the CDC, a child who is 36 months of age is expected to do _________________________.
Then, objectively describe what you have observed. In your Learner Profile, you are expected to include information from your observations as it relates to all developmental domains using objective language. For example, one September 24, 2024, I observed Jon at whole group circle. During circle time, the teacher showed the class pictures from the book. The teacher asked Jon what he liked about the story. Jon said to the teacher, “I like when boy put book on table, like I do.” This observation can be included within the Cognition Domain.
Special note: Review all observations for your learner. As you review all the observations for your learner, you can identify areas of strengths, interests/preferences, and weakness in relation to all developmental domains. In the area that is earmarked Strengths/Interests/Preferences/Weaknesses, you will provide a bulleted list of your learners’ Strengths/Interests/Preferences/Weaknesses. Be sure to provide specific examples. For example, Jon shows interest in ___________. This is supported by observations conducted on September 30, 2024, and October 3, 2024, where Jon selected to play at the dramatic play. Next, include what those observations are. This will support you in identifying areas of interest and weaknesses.
Part III: IEP/IFSP Goals (1 page)
Step 1: Using the NYS Learning Standards, PKFCC, or Early Learning Guidelines, identify one (1) domain and a performance standard based on each child’s needs or area of weaknesses.
Special note: Based on the child’s weakness(es), you are to identify a goal that the child should work on to obtain skill. See below example.
NYS Standards P-3: http://www.nysed.gov/early-learning/resource-guides-school-success-early-learning
NYS Early Learning Guidelines: https://www.ccf.ny.gov/files/7315/9112/1561/ELG-2020.pdf
See below example
Domain: Approaches to Learning
Performance Standard/Sub-area: Play and Engagement
Step 2: Based on the needs of the child, you are to create one annual/long-term goal. Be sure that the annual/long-term goal is written in SMART goal form (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely) and aligns to the standard.
See below example
Annual/Long-term Goal: During the 2024-25 school year, Jon will use at least 5-10 words to express wants and needs during daily classroom activities and with 8/10 opportunities.
Step 3: Create three (3) short-term objectives for the annual/long-term goal. The short-term goals should be directly related to the annual/long-term goal and be observable as well as measurable.
Short-term Goals:
See the example below
Jon will use at least 3 words to express wants and needs during daily classroom activities and with 5/6 opportunities.
Jon will use at least 5 words to express wants and needs during daily classroom activities and with 6/8 opportunities.
Jon will use at least 10 words to express wants and needs during daily classroom activities and with 8/10 opportunities.

Part IV: Adaptation Grid (1 page)
Use the Adaptation Grid to appropriately identify the adaptations/modifications that best meet each learner’s needs. The adaptations/modifications you select must be appropriate to address the long-term goal you have selected.
Part V: Summary * Needs to be written in narrative form*
Reference
Be sure to provide a reference page for cited information.
