Take the learning style self-assessment. The direct link is https://www.webtools.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ Review the results of your assessment using the explanation below. Write at least 200 words describing the results, how you learn best, and how you will modify your study techniques to fit your learning style. Cite at least one reference using APA style. Submit your assignment using the Learning Style Assignment link above to open the textbox. This assignment is due by midnight Sunday. What do the results mean?  Barbara Soloman, Coordinator of Advising, First Year College, North Carolina State University explains Active Learners: tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it like discussing or explaining it to others.  They enjoy group work. Reflective Learners: prefer to think about it quietly first.  They prefer to work alone. Sensing learners tend to like learning facts.  They are patient with details and good at memorizing things.  They are practical and careful. Intuitive Learners: prefer discovering possibilities and relationships.  They are good at grasping new concepts and are comfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations.  They are innovative and creative. Visual Learners: remember best what they see–pictures, diagrams, flowcharts, timelines, films, and demonstrations.Verbal Learners: get more out of words–written and spoken explanations. Everyone learns more when information is presented both visually and verbally. Sequential Learners: tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one.  They follow logical steps when finding solutions. Global Learners: Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly “getting it.”  They may be able to solve complex problems quickly or put things together in novel ways once they have grasped the big picture, but they may have difficulty explaining how they did it.

Planning (The analysis will be described in the narrative. The chart and lesson plans will be placed in the appendix.)Create a strengths and weaknesses chart. Analyze two student work samples and data. Include the foundational skills that will address the weaknesses. Use the lesson plan template to create two sequential phonics lessons for a small intervention group. Instruction (These activities will be described in the narrative and pictures or examples of the actual activity will be placed in the appendix.)Select one additional phonics activity or strategy that the students can work on collaboratively using manipulatives. Describe the activity, the benefits or purposes of the activity, and what you will learn about the phonics development of the students by examining their product or by observation. Select one additional activity or strategy that can be done at the small group table with the teacher. Describe the activity, the benefit or purpose of the activity, and what you will learn about their phonics development through interaction with the students. Assessment (The checklist should be placed in the appendix and described in the narrative.)Create a checklist that identifies the foundational skills students in your grade should acquire according to the Common Core State Standards. This checklist will help you, as a teacher, track which students have the skills for your grade and which students do not. Keep in mind, sometimes a 2nd-grade teacher has to help students who are functioning on the first-grade level. Describe how you designed the checklist and how it can be used in your classroom. Also, share why you designed it the way that you did. Vocabulary (This will meet the requirements for Major Assignment #3.)Share 2 vocabulary activities. Explain the benefit of each activity for vocabulary development. Use 3 references in your response (the book and 2 other sources).

One of the central issues in Qualitative Interviewing is understanding how to create interview questions so that data can be gathered effectively. What are the key concerns for a researcher writing questions? What are the different methods for recording and logging data, and which method, if any, is the best? One of the central issues in Field Observation is understanding how to observe phenomena in their natural settings. What motivated your decision-making? How does field research ensure validity and reliability? For more information check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interview_(research)

Parents of children with disabilities typically experience more stress than families who do not have children with disabilities. The purpose of this assignment is to analyze how some of these perceptions and barriers affect family involvement. Directions: Visit the following website: IRIS Website  (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site. Go through the module. On a word document, complete the following questions: (If you experience difficulty, go back and review the Perspectives and Resources pages in the Module). What is a secondary transition? Why is it important for school personnel to help students plan for post-school transitions? List and describe the five components of the Taxonomy for Transition Programming. Explain why self-determination is important for students with disabilities.  Read: Jessica is a rising ninth-grade student who has a physical and intellectual disability and uses a wheelchair. Imagine you are Jessica’s general education teacher and a member of her IEP team. As part of her annual review meeting, Jessica and her team discuss her post-secondary plans. Following is some of the information the team learns during the meeting.  Strengths: Capable student who works hard to get passing grades Loves the computer and catches on quickly to games and computer programs  Short-term goals: Ride the school bus to and from school (currently, parents transport her)    Spend more time with friends Post-school goals: Get a job in a hospital or somewhere she can help sick people (as long as she doesn’t have to read much) Live on her own or with a roommate    Areas of need:    Doesn’t like to read and often doesn’t remember things she does read    Additional information: Her parents state that she has never talked with them about her post-school goals, and they always assumed she would live with them.  For each of the components of the Taxonomy for Transition Programming, recommend one or two actions you as the teacher can take to help Jessica reach her goals. Explain your responses.     Components of Taxonomy for Transition Programming     Actions and Explanations Program Structure   Student-Focused Planning   Student Development   Family Involvement   Interagency Collaboration

Science requires reading, writing, and math skills, in addition to critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. When teachers contextualize learning and integrate that context across all subjects, students are typically more engaged in learning and are able to make connections. Locate and review a science or health lesson plan. Consider how you would revise the lesson plan to include the integration of reading, writing, and math skills. In addition, include suggestions for technology integration and differentiation. Use the “5E Lesson Plan Template” for your revisions. Include the link to the original lesson plan. Include a 250-500 word rationale explaining your choices.

As you reflect one final time on your learning during this course, be mindful of the value learning may have to you. Learning is always most valuable when it provides personal meaning and is useful. Write (Post an initial response by Day 3).  Consider recording your response using the “Record/Upload Media” button in the discussion response toolbar. Describe ideas, concepts, or strategies that seemed most practical to you, excited you, and resonated with you the most during your learning in this course. Share how you may apply what you have learned in your own respective professional environment. Consider potential barriers and/or challenges associated with concepts you described and share how you might mitigate these along the way.
