The Gallery Paper
[100 points toward final Grade] enables the individual student to gather information, of particular information to them, from various sources. The student will collect information; digest and interpret it, report the findings and conclusions in a meaningful and scholarly way, thus opening their eyes to the unseen aspects of artist production. 
The student will choose an Art Gallery or Museum from the Middle TN Region, and prepare a formal Summary, of at least 3-5 typed, double-spaced, pages on their experience. The focus of this paper is to be on the type of work being exhibited and/or sold. Consider the method of production, variety of artists, and professionalism. The venue’s name, which you have chosen, must be submitted to me before you go. 
It is intended to get you out as an active participant, experiencing art, as it exists, in our society. It is an opportunity to practice formal analysis in a secure context. Students will engage in the critical evaluation of artwork that has been proven by scholars and time as important to society. This assignment will also expose the balance of scholarly knowledge vs. subjectivity when experiencing art. 
In a 3-5 page (typed) review include:
In the introduction/overview, name of the museum attended, sponsors of the exhibition, a description of the venue and general layout of the exhibition.
Choose at least 3 significant works to describe, in detail, using a formal vocabulary learned from the book, evaluate how the elements of design convey content, and consider the work’s social relevance
Most importantly include your opinion of this experience.
Research is not required for this assignment. If research wil be used to enhance your paper, the rules mentioned for MLA formatting will apply.
Do not place images / illustrations in your paper of any kind.
GALLERIES V. MUSEUMS
Galleries are like Retail Stores that sell handmade items.  They are free to enter and the staff are like sales people.
Museums are spaces that exhibit work that has been scholarly and/or historically proven to be culturally significant.  The artwork is not for sale. There is often a fee to enter (The Frist Museum is free for students on Friday nights, 5:00-9:00)

In this activity, you will want to create a 3 – 5 page Literature Review, not including the Title Page and References, regarding the area of strategy formulation from the perspective of coaching and management. Specifically, compare the ways in which coaches versus managers may approach helping employees to develop and engage in strategies for personal, team, and organizational success. This paper will serve as a draft of one part of your summative assessment for this competency, which is to develop a Research Paper.
As this is a formative assessment, you can upload a document with your paper, and it needs to follow APA 7th Edition formatting.

Read the two research articles provided to you. One article will be a mixed-methods research example and the other will be an action research example. Write a critique on one of the articles. Five sections have been identified: An introduction, a review of the literature, method, findings, and conclusions. * Please keep your writing concise by including the required element for each section.

These are two separate Discussion questions that needs to be answer separately .  Both questions need to be cited and in APA format The question are below :
QUESTION #1
1.  Intellectual Disability (ID) and Specific Learning Disability (SLD) are two eligibility categories with different definitions within the legislation. Review the eligibility requirements for ID and SLD defined by IDEA. Consider the major differences between the two categories. Select an age band (early childhood, elementary, secondary). Describe how you would explain eligibility for SLD instead of ID to a parent.
QUESTION # 2
2.  The general education teacher often uses the anecdotal records from behavioral observations and the collection of artifacts and other data to collaborate with the special education team. This information can be used to support norm-referenced assessment, to inform instructional decisions, and track growth and progress toward mastery of IEP goals. As a general education teacher, identify 2-3 examples of the data you would use in your classroom for these purposes. Provide a rationale for choosing the data sources you selected and describe how it could be used in collaboration with the special education team for your chosen grade level.
