One of the most important social skills that young children should learn is empathy. Begin by watching this video about teaching empathy to our students:

Now read the article Empathy in the Classroom: Why Should I Care? That explains the 3 benefits of empathy in education

For this assignment, find an example of a children’s book that could be used to teach about empathy.  Design a follow up activity based upon the book that would give your students a chance to practice showing empathy for others. Please use the attached assignment handout for this activity.

Please discuss Importance of justifying ideas in mathematics as an apprach to use in the early grades mathematics. This must include examples from literature 
This is what I have so far:
The study by Desoete et al. (2001) involving
165 Grade 3 learners revealed that learners struggle to articulate coherent
solutions and explain their problem-solving methods. The researchers found that
learners heavily rely on direct teacher instructions for methods and procedures
to solve problems, highlighting the need to deepen mathematical understanding
and critical thinking skills in learners (Desoete et al., 2001). To enhance
learners’ mathematical abilities, it is crucial to encourage independent
exploration of problem-solving strategies and effective communication of
reasoning (Desoete et al., 2001). The approach of justifying ideas can be used
to improve conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts (YILMAZ et al.,
2019) and as a tool to enhance critical thinking. This process involves
learners providing reasons as to why a mathematical statement is correct or
incorrect, and explaining and articulating their actions, perceptions, and
thought processes when solving a math problem (YILMAZ et al., 2019). This aligns
with the findings of Desoete et al. (2001) that emphasize the importance of
learners developing the ability to communicate their reasoning and thinking
processes when solving mathematical problems.

Homework Content
As a teacher, knowing how to code standards and read coded standards will significantly aid your lesson planning. For this assignment you will practice using the ELP Standards, coding them, and aligning them with content area standards, such as math and science. Understanding the differences between the ELP Standards and the proficiency levels can help you determine how to scaffold your instruction with ELs. Aligning ELPS with content area standards will be key when planning lessons for a classroom with regular education students and ELs.

Research how school site budgets are calculated in your district.
Analyze the budget that your school operated on last school year.
Were there any areas where additional funding was necessary?
Were there any areas/programs where budget cuts could have been made?
Include what your budget priorities would be and how you would spend your discretionary funds if you were the principal.
Submission Instructions:
The paper is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling.
Write a paper per current APA, 3 pages in length, excluding the title, abstract and references page.

A planned requisition contains several components. List the components of the request and explain the importance of each one to the safety (privacy) of patients’ medical records. Select one that you believe is the most important one and discuss it with your classmates.

Skills Being Assessed
In this assignment, you
will practice the following skill(s):
Problem-Solving
The ability to identify
and frame problems, explore ideas, and create effective, ethical, and
evidence-based solutions.
Self
and Social Awareness
The ability to recognize
thoughts, emotions, intentions, and biases of oneself and others and use that
information to identify impacts on others, receive feedback, reflect, and guide
one’s growth and development.
Overview
In
the Week 3 assignment, you completed the preliminary work needed for your
assessment plan that included background information that provides a glimpse of
what the assessment plan is about.
For
this assignment, you will use your Problem-Solving skills
as you explore ideas to incorporate that information into a plan for a single
unit or course that will contain lessons for seven weeks. It is going to be
more detailed as you need to describe the multiple activities that students
will be doing in your classroom.
You will describe the specific content, concepts, procedures,
terminology, and thinking skills your students will learn and use. You will
also describe your teaching activities and your students’ learning activities.
You’ll identify the learning objectives and student learning targets for the
lessons, including the specific formative and summative assessments you will
use, and when you will use them.
Instructions
Create a (3-4) page
assessment plan. Note: Use content from the Week 3
assignment, Assessment Plan – Part 1: Preliminary Steps for Selecting

REVIEW MY ATTACH LAST ASSIGNMENT

The purpose of this assessment is to describe what research methods (quantitative/qualitative) will be used to gather information for your Capstone evaluation project. Topic-Does the McNAir High School mentorship program implemented as intended? (process evaluation)
Evaluation questions-. What are the specific discrepancies between the intended implementation of the mentorship program and its actual execution at McNair High School?
2. How do the feelings of scrutiny among mentees and the sense of overload among mentors impact the overall effectiveness of the mentorship program? 3. What strategies or recommendations can be implemented to address the misalignment and improve the mentorship program’s efficiency and sustainability?
Background- The mentorship program is currently facing challenges regarding several key issues in supporting new teachers and managing the workload of experienced mentors. The induction phase for new educators is filled with tasks, including adapting to school cultures, managing classrooms effectively, and aligning instruction with district and state standards. The program’s heavy reliance on formal observations has led to mentors feeling overwhelmed by their duties and mentees feeling scrutinized, which can detract from the intended supportive nature of the program. This problem is further intensified by the variety of mentoring approaches that focus on balancing the enhancement of teaching practices with the deepening of conceptual understanding (Carmi, 2024). Furthermore, there is a need for a mentorship model that emphasizes real-time support and feedback rather than periodic observation check-ins. Shifting towards a mentorship model that emphasizes immediate support could improve effectiveness by aligning better with everyday teaching needs (Hughes, 2022). The mentorship program’s challenges encompass the need to overhaul its approach to focus on immediate support and feedback, addressing issues of workload management, and maintaining a supportive environment for both new teachers and experienced mentors. Despite a well-intentioned mentorship program aimed at onboarding and supporting new teachers, a significant gap exists in the practical implementation of the plan.
