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

It is important to have a clear understanding of what interdisciplinary learning and teaching is, all while integrating areas of STEM into various content areas. Having a clear understanding of teaching in an interdisciplinary method will provide guidance in exploring how it varies from traditional teaching methods. 
Research and identify three strategies showing effective interdisciplinary learning.
For this assignment, create a brochure for K-8 parents highlighting the importance of integrating STEM across content areas, the importance of STEM learning in the elementary classroom, and how an integrated approach compares to traditional pedagogy and isolated content learning.
The brochure should include:
A description of what interdisciplinary learning with STEM would look like in the classroom and how it compares to traditional pedagogy.
Three advantages of teaching in an interdisciplinary format.
Three strategies demonstrating effective interdisciplinary learning.
How interdisciplinary STEM teaching and learning encourages exploration, promotes project-based learning, and develops students’ knowledge and skills.
Support your brochure with two 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.

Critical Article Analysis 
Using the rubric below, read the attached peer-reviewed study related to collaboration in special education and complete a critical analysis of the article by using the questions below as a foundation for the analysis. Do not answer the questions but use the question as the basis to complete the critical analysis. 
What do we mean by “read critically”?  Critical reading means more than just skimming the subheadings of a textbook chapter or highlighting the occasional phrase.  Critical reading means taking the time to think carefully about what is being said in a text.  It involves identifying key features in the reading, such as the author’s argument and the evidence being used to support it.  It means not taking for granted that whatever you are reading is objective or absolute fact, but analyzing and evaluating the credibility of a the text using a set of criteria. 
Within the context of a narrative, once you have read the article, make sure the analysis answers the following five questions: 
What is the main topic of the article? 
What is the issue being discussed?
What position (argument) does the author make? 
What evidence does the author put forward?
How convincing is this evidence (quality of evidence, inclusion/discussion of counter-arguments, glaring omissions)? 
NOTE: Your Article Analysis should be a minimum of 4 pages in length, double-spaced and include a minimum of an additional 4 citations related to the collaboration between general education and special education teachers. 

In the video below, how did the teacher create a proactive classroom with her new first graders? What methods do you think you will use when you are teaching and how will you implement them? Be sure to answer both questions with details from the video and the readings.

Instructions
For this week, you will design 10 interview questions on two types of early childhood programs to ask the school administrator. These questions should generate information about the major characteristics of your selected programs. You will conduct the interviews in an upcoming assignment for the course.  This interview will allow you to better understand the leadership role of an administrator at a daycare setting. Furthermore, the interview and formation of interview questions will be based around your state guidelines, regulations, and procedures that are related to early childhood programs.
You will formulate interview questions with the chosen types/models of programs in mind. The interview questions should generate enough information to provide a comparison and contrast of the early childhood centers chosen. Use the following categories to formulate your interview questions:
Role of administrator
Qualifications of administrator
Mission, vision, and philosophy
Curriculum utilized to meet the needs of the students
State guidelines, regulations, and procedures
Best practices/strategies used to integrate concepts of diversity,  equity, and inclusion
You will actively select two types/models of centers from the list below:
Public and private kindergartens, preschools, and child development programs
Early Head Start
Head Start
Private for-profit early childhood centers
Faith-based early childhood centers
Laboratory schools
Corporate-sponsored child-care
Family child-care
Programs meeting children’s special needs (i.e., developmental delays, homelessness, at-risk for abuse or neglect)
Length: 10 interview questions
References: Include a minimum of five (5) scholarly references that are seminal references or published within the last five (5) years.
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
