Homework Content
As a teacher, you will meet and work with ELs who have unique academic, social, and emotional needs based on their prior experiences. It will benefit you to take the time to learn about these students’ experiences and backgrounds to better instruct them and make them feel welcomed.
Preparation
Research the following EL populations:
Students with interrupted formal education (SIFEs) 
Long-term English learners (LTELs)
Recently arrived English learners (RAELs) 
Refugees 
Migrants
Immigrants
Native Americans  
Consider exploring the Special Populations: English Language Learners page on the Colorín Colorado website.
Assignment Deliverable
Create an infographic that differentiates the following populations from each other:
SIFEs 
LTELs
RAELs
Address the following in your infographic:
Definitions of SIFEs, LTELs, and RAELs
An explanation of how refugee, migrant, immigrant, or Native American students may pertain as subgroups (SIFEs, LTELs, and RAELs)
Brief statements or words describing factors that influence English language acquisition for learners from these special populations (e.g., family support, previous schooling)
Tips on how you can create a safe and inclusive environment for these special populations (Think about how you will make these learners feel valued and value each other.)
District and community resources available in your area for these students and their families/caregivers
Consider creating your infographic using Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, or another infographic application as approved by your faculty member.  
Cite sources and images used in your infographic.
Format citations and references according to APA guidelines.
Submit your infographic.

Some cultures developed quite ingenious tools and systems to help with calculations. One of the
most familiar is the abacus, developed around 3000BC in Mesopotamia and still used in some
eastern cultures. The abacus began life as a board or slab covered in sand, used in ancient
Babylon for aligning numbers or writing; it later developed into a board with lines or grooves
for counters. The modern abacus with counters threaded onto rods or wires requires more
technological advancement to produce but is used in much the same way.
This essay project aims to introduce your students to the ancient tool of the abacus and its
applications in understanding various mathematical concepts. You will write how you and your
students will learn to perform arithmetic operations, manipulate number systems, and explore
mathematical patterns using the abacus. You should also provide a history of the abacus and its
modern use. This essay project will not include hands-on workshops where students will receive
training in using the abacus efficiently.
Your essay project will not engage in activities such as converting between different number
systems (e.g., decimal, binary) and solving arithmetic problems using the abacus. However, you
should integrate elements of algebra into the learning process so students can learn to solve
equations and explore algebraic properties using the abacus. Remember to explore the
connection between the concepts we learned, such as prime numbers, magic squares, arithmetic
operations, geometry, uncovering hidden patterns and relationships, and how using an abacus
can teach mathematics.
Write your essay project with Alex Bellos’ knowledge of using an abacus. You must use at leastsix quotes from Alex Bellos’ book to validate your findings. You must use three additional
references after the year 2014 to validate your findings. Your essay should develop proficiency in using the abacus as a powerful mathematical computation and problem-solving tool.

Critically examine the article attached with the following rubric: 
Introduction
Clear
conceptualization and identification of what an educational plan is through
its distinct characteristics (nature, purpose, principles, etc).
Summary
Demonstration
of skills to detect areas of clear differences in the plans. Placing the
issue in context/defining the problem.
SWOT Analysis
(strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)
Identification
of areas of strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the plans
through examination of the key issues with exploration and discussion of the
literature (i.e., breadth and depth of the examination of the literature)
Application to
education practice
Demonstration
of your competency and skills in identifying and discussing a plan relevant
to meet the countries’ needs using relevant data/scenarios/information 

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.

describe the prosedures used on board your ship for handing over the wheel in open and pilotage water situations 

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.

This assignment is a discussion post in which it has two parts below you will find the topic, references and some information to help you complete this assignment information:
I am currently working in one of the largest school districts in the Kansas City Missouri area as a Paraprofessional in a level 3 Autistic classroom we go by the Aris curriculum and by the Missouri standards to teach our students who are nonverbal and verbal with behaviors issues the district has a plan called the Blueprint 2030.
In the Blueprint 2030 Strategic Plan, you will find a renewed emphasis on personalized learning, cutting-edge STEAM technology, Fine Arts expansion and a renewed sense of urgency around literacy. Everyone is committed to fostering a learning environment that equips our students not only with academic proficiency but also with the skills, values, and resilience needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.The success of Blueprint 2030 relies on our collective effort – parents, students, educators, community members, and stakeholders. Discussion post topic This discussion board is divided into two parts. Please be sure to provide your response to each of the following.
Based on your readings and review of course materials, please identify two ideas from the PELP Framework that resonate with your thinking about the challenges facing curriculum design teams or committee work.
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.
make a personal application to personal current work experience(s)
reflect on connections between the idea chosen from PELP with the idea chosen from Fullan
