Research should always be about finding out the truth and disseminating that information. However, many findings are taken out of context, and data is used to further an agenda. Truth matters. Why is it so important to conduct research that is both valid and ethical, and how can this be accomplished? Support your discussion with scholarly sources and integrate a biblical worldview perspective.

Title: Inclusive Physical Activity Lesson Plan for Elementary Students with Special Needs Activity: “Beach Ball Volleyball” Objective: Students will practice teamwork, coordination, and gross motor skills while playing a modified game of volleyball using a beach ball.
First watch the video below
(1 page)
What type of activities were taking place?
What safety concerns would you have?
What did you notice about the diversity of the classroom?
Second Develop a Lesson Plan
Modify a lesson plan for students with special needs. An inclusive classroom comprised of regular education students as well as special education students. The video illustrated several ways the teacher modified activities (games) to insure that all students (including students with special needs) would be successful and enjoy the activity. Construct a lesson plan for a physical activity that you would use with your elementary class. The focus of this activity is to indicate how you would MODIFY the lesson or activity to insure that all students are successful. Modifying an activity such as volleyball where students use a beach ball that moves more slowly and is larger than a regulation volleyball is but one example. In addition to describing the lesson (activity) you plan to teach you will include a minimum of three modifications (strategies) that you would employ to modify a lesson to insure success by all students. -

Based on your readings review of course materials, please identify two ideas from focusing direction, the first element of Fullan’s Coherence Framework. Select ideas that resonate with your thinking about the challenges facing curriculum design teams or committee work.
Select one idea from each framework and reflect upon the importance of that idea for teachers and leaders of curriculum work teams. You may approach your reflection response through any one of the following suggested routes. You are expected to elaborate on the idea you have raised providing your take on it. Your objective is to pursue a route to a deeper personal understanding of the idea through one of the following:
further detail a deeper personal understanding of the idea which enhances understanding
raise question(s) about the idea that initiates a process of thinking more deeply about it
detail initial assumptions of your take on the idea; if this is so . . . then we might assume.

“Understanding English Learner Laws and Policies: Implications for Multilingual Instruction in the Classroom”
Exam Content
With the growing number of multilingual learners in the United States, it is vital for teachers to understand English learner (EL) laws, policies, and trends in EL education and their implications of K–12 education. Laws and court decisions at both the federal and state levels have shaped multilingual learner education. Knowledge of EL laws and policies ensures that teachers provide appropriate instruction, including meeting time limits, using methodology, and using instructional strategies that benefit these unique learners.
Scenario
Envision yourself as a teacher who has extensive SEI training and who has taught ELs for several years. Your principal has hired several new teachers and has asked you to train these new faculty members on English learner law and policy and the impact it will have on their classrooms, including how ELs are identified and supported. To do this, you will create an interactive presentation with overviews of several court decisions and federal and state laws. The training will provide new teachers with the opportunity to reflect on how they will broadly shape EL instruction in their classrooms.
Preparation
Research the following:
Court decisions
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
Plyler v. Doe (1982)
Flores v. State of Arizona
Federal laws
Equal Education Opportunities Act (EEOA) of 1974
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015
State laws: Choose either Arizona’s state laws (Arizona Proposition 203 and Arizona House Bill 2064) or your own state’s laws.
Consult this week’s learning activities and the Wk 2 University Library resources for support.
Assessment Deliverable
Create an 8- to 12-slide presentation in which you:
Provide a brief overview of each of the court decisions, federal laws, and state laws regarding EL education.
Explain how each court decision, federal law, and state law has directly impacted English language education in your state.
Describe how your knowledge of EL law and policy shapes multilingual instruction in your classroom.
Give specific examples based on the requirements in the laws and policies you researched (e.g., I plan for 30 minutes of vocabulary instruction each day for my multilingual learners, I incorporate targeted lessons for my ELs).
Include at least 2 interactive elements (e.g., polls, short quizzes, reflection questions, etc.) in your presentation. Think about what keeps you engaged when you are in a training.
Include a final activity for your audience that encourages them to reflect on how they will focus on EL instruction in their classrooms. This can be a broad statement or plan to get them started.
Cite 3 to 5 references to support your assignment.
Format your citations and references according to APA guidelines.
Consider creating your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, or another presentation tool approved by your faculty member.
Formatting Requirements
Include the following components in your presentation:
Comprehensive speaker notes for your slides or recorded voiceover in your presentation
Graphics or images to make it visually appealing
A title slide
A references slide for any sources and/or images cited
Submit your presentation.
Assessment Support
Review the rubric for guidance on deliverable expectations.
If you choose to use Microsoft PowerPoint, review the Add or Record Audio page on the Microsoft® website for tips on how to record voiceover in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Review the following resources for writing guidelines, APA information, and a sample presentation that can help guide your presentation development:

Reference and Citation Generator
Grammar Assistance
Looking Ahead
The laws and policies you learned about may benefit you when you complete your Wk 4 Summative Assessment: Language Acquisition Elements Plan. Consider the requirements for teaching multilingual learners you discovered this week as you complete that summative assessment. -
