    Assessment Description
    Establishing classroom procedures and routines helps to optimize time for instruction and allows the learning environment to operate efficiently. Students and teachers need to have procedures for everything, based on the needs of the particular class.
    For this assignment, identify a class of students in terms of grade level, K-8, and number of students in the class. Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation for the first day of school that will demonstrate how you will introduce expectations, processes, and diversity to your class.  
    Your digital presentation must include three parts:
    Part 1 – Introduction
    How to introduce yourself to your students
    How students will introduce themselves to each other
    How the expectations, procedures, and behavior management will be introduced
    How the procedures and expectations will be enforced, along with possible consequences
    Part 2 – Expectations for Policies and Procedures

  • Title: Annotation of Quantitative Research Articles on the Effects of Exercise on Mental Health Reference List Entry: Herring, M. P., O’Connor, P. J., & Dishman, R. K. (2010). The effect

    Annotation of a Quantitative Research Articles
    This week, you will submit the annotation of a quantitative research
    article on a topic of your interest. Quasi-experimental, casual
    comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are
    examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research.
    An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three
    respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three
    components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an
    annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on,
    the source. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated
    bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
    An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources
    accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation
    for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a
    background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a
    particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in
    preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a
    dissertation.
    Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the
    underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an
    annotation.
    Instructions: 
    Use the Walden library databases to search for two quantitative ( https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/library/verifypeerreview) . research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
    Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate
    the methodology section in the article to be sure that the article
    describes a quantitative study. Confirm that one of the types of quantitative designs,
    such as quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational,
    pretest–posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study.
    Annotate two quantitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
    Provide the reference list entry
    Links to an external site. for this article in APA Style followed by a three-paragraph annotation that includes:
    A summary
    An analysis
    An application
    Format your annotation in Times New Roman, 12-point font,
    double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this
    assignment.

  • Title: Understanding the Adolescent Brain: Implications for Instructional Practice and Student Learning

    Educators continuously explore approaches to instruction that support adolescents’ physical, cognitive, or socioemotional growth. This awareness guides lesson preparation by understanding the unique challenges adolescents face related to classroom learning.
    This two-part assignment will provide students with an introduction to basic facts about the brain including brain function, anatomy, imaging, and stages of cognitive development.
    Part 1: 5 Brain Facts
    Based on the readings in Topic 2, create an annotated list of 5 Things Every Educator Should Know about the Adolescent Brain.” Include 5 statements – brain facts that assess developmental characteristics of adolescent behaviors. Follow each statement with a 50-100 word paragraph describing how each fact affects learning or brain development that promotes growth for students with physical, cognitive, or socioemotional needs. Provide at least one scholarly resource for each statement.
    Example:
    Fact: The amygdala is the brain’s emotional control center.
    The amygdala regulates the brain’s response to emotions such as fear, excitement, and pleasure.   As part of the brain’s limbic system, it is located next to the hippocampus – the part of the brain that plays a significant role in converting information from working memory to long-term memory.   Exposure to long-term stress has been found to cause damage to the amygdala which may account for why some students, particularly those from poverty, struggle to regulate their emotions and behavior (Lau, et al., 2016).
    Part 2:  Reflection
    Select two of the facts from your Top 5 list, and in 250-500 words, reflect on and describe ways in which the brain affects learning, constructs knowledge, acquires skills, and develops thinking processes. Be sure to describe opportunities to improve instructional practice and facilitate student learning with the use of technology.
    Submit your Top 5 brain facts and reflection as one deliverable.
    Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
    Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
    This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
