ability to specify the essential elements and professional roles for developing a quality collaborative process

Your written response to this discussion prompt assesses your ability to specify the essential elements and professional roles for developing a quality collaborative process for the co-teaching model.

For this discussion post, you will assume the role of either a special educator or a general education teacher. If your last name beings with A-M, assume the role of the general education teacher.

Initial Post: Your post will address the person you are co-teaching with during the coming school year. Begin by sharing at least two things that excite you the most about co-teaching and then at least two things you are worried about. Then ask two questions about the collaboration process that you would like to discuss.

analyze behavior problems and guidance approaches in children

In this assignment, you will analyze behavior problems and guidance approaches in a setting in which you know the children.

  • Create a 3- to 5-page paper (not including the title and references pages) in Word document for your response. Use APA format for the paper and citations.
  • Create a title page and references page in APA format.
  • Include introductory and concluding paragraphs.
  • Follow the directions to complete the assignment.

Analyze actual behavior problems and guidance approaches in a setting where you know the children. Cases in which you are the adult providing the guidance will prove the most instructive.

Step 1. Describe the behavioral problem situation.

Step 2. Based on your knowledge of the children involved, state the probable cause.

Step 3. Describe the adult intervention that addresses the cause.

Step 4. Describe the children’s response to the intervention.

Step 5. If the approach was not helpful, was it unsuccessful because it did not address the actual cause or because one intervention was not enough?

Step 6. If a different cause is suggested, plan and describe a different strategy for the next time.

Step 7. Provide an analysis of the case supported by professional resources and theories.

Therefore the Buddha taught the emptiness of emptiness.” – The Dalai Lama

Read the following quote by the Dalai Lama:

“As your insight into the ultimate nature of reality is deepened and enhanced, you will develop a perception of reality from which you will perceive phenomena and events as sort of illusory, illusion-like, and this mode of perceiving reality will permeate all your interactions with reality. . . . Even emptiness itself, which is seen as the ultimate nature of reality, is not absolute, nor does it exist independently. We cannot conceive of emptiness as independent of a basis of phenomena, because when we examine the nature of reality, we find that it is empty of inherent existence. Then if we are to take that emptiness itself is an object and look for its essence, again we will find that it is empty of inherent existence. Therefore the Buddha taught the emptiness of emptiness.” – The Dalai Lama, The Art of Living (2001)

2) Now address the following questions:

  • If there is no difference between nirvana and samsara, if there is no real existence, then how can you make a distinction between nirvana and samsara?
  • If there is no difference in reality, then where must the difference lie?

3) Post your responses to this discussion board.

 For my cultural immersion project I chose to pick a culture group that was focused on children with rare disabilities

Each reply must be minimum 250 APA format, works cited, reference, and biblical worldview

Reply to at least 2 classmates who explored a different culture. 

Stephanie Post—– For my cultural immersion project I chose to pick a culture group that was focused on children with rare disabilities (child who has Bainbridge-Roper Syndrome and particularly observed a family and then group of other children in a support group. I first observed in a church setting as a particular child was with a “buddy” to allow the parents to be able to worship. Secondly, the next experience at a support group was slightly more vulnerable as parents from different walks of life and children with a range of disabilities. I found it difficult to engage at times or follow what was going on because the actual children can be distant emotionally. I observed that parents were more guarded and possible felt tired or overwhelmed by their daily situation. I would say in a day to day situation I find it easier to engage with other mom’s or parents because there is something to relate to but with parents I was more guarded and more emotional. I didn’t want to offend by saying something wrong such as “I understand” or “that makes sense” when I know that it doesn’t make sense to me or  I truly can’t understand their perspective.

Richard Post—(Responding to Richard inform him that I am an Christian  African American woman that resides in the southeastern part of Virginia)For my immersion project I am exploring the African American culture. For those of you who may be reading my post for the first time it bears repeating that I am a new transplant from a virtually all white region of the Pacific Northwest, to a multicultural region in Southeast Texas, with nearly half the population being black. The cultures within both black and white communities are drastically different, and I could easily write a separate paper on white cultural changes. In general, I left a very affluent socio-economic status (SES) to one of the poorest areas in the country. “Approximately 15% of American now live in poverty; however, the poverty rate for African American remains nearly 3 times higher than that of White American (27.2% vs. 9.6%: U.S. Census Bureau, 2014b)” (Hays & Erford, 2018, p.258). Our move was intentional for several reasons and we expected significant changes, especially culturally. And we are still having ongoing adjustments. My wife and I agree that the most challenging changes are the overall lack of cleanliness and maintenance of homes, businesses, roads, and parks. While the most refreshing change is the general friendliness, hospitality, and genuine desire for placing importance on relationships. I do miss the manicured yards, trash less communities, and beautiful parks, but I prefer the approachability and “down to earth” demeanor that this new culture offers.  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything impure” Matthew 23:27.

Specifically, while my overall interactions with both blacks and whites have been encouraging, those within the black community (we are right in the middle of inter-racial neighborhood) have been more positive and impactful. Especially visiting an all-black church service two weeks in a row. I was so welcomed and treated as if racial differences did not exist. This is not to say that I have not felt uncomfortable and treated unfairly in other public situations, but it was so good to feel Christ love transcend racial differences in the church environment.
“Research is mixed on the value of an ethnic, cultural, or racial match between therapists and clients. What appears to matter more, according to the research, is a sense of common values, or that the therapist grasps and respects the client’s key values” (Garzon, 2018).  I am interviewing a member of this church this week for Part 3 and I am really looking forward to gaining more insight, perspective, and history on black culture, especially in my new community.

o describe some aspect of world history from roughly the start of the Common Era to 900 CE – trade

This assignment has to be submitted on Sunday 2/24 at 11:59 p.m. Attached is all of the information needed. PLEASE NO OUTSIDE SOURCES!!!

Topic A

In Unit 4, we claimed that empire-builders in the ancient world needed to “craft a type of multi-ethnic cohesion” – ways for people from different backgrounds to coexist under the umbrella of the empire – in order for their state to function (Video 4.1). On the other hand, we consider evidence discussed in Units 3 and 4 that the foundation of empire was the willingness of leaders to use violence to overwhelm their enemies.

In an essay of 600 to 1200 words, explore such evidence to make an argument about some of the ways people balanced political solutions to problems with war. In the end, you should persuade your reader, through your thoughtful analysis of the historical evidence, that empire-building in the ancient world transformed the ways that humans understood the role of violence in politics.

When organizing your ideas and drafting your essay, follow these guidelines:

1. Build your analysis using the course materials. The basis of your essay should be the primary source material found at the end of Unit 4 under “Unit 4 Resources.” By all means, take the ideas and evidence offered in the videos (and please note that we have provided transcripts of the videos as well.) This information will provide context for the primary resources.

*DO NOT base your observations on other evidence that you locate on the web or elsewhere. Remember, a big part of this essay is showing your mastery of the course material as assigned.*

2. After reviewing the material from Week 4, choose the two — four examples from the primary sources that best allow you to make a persuasive case about the role of empire in the ancient world. While you want to show that you understand the larger trends in the material, take the time to explore in depth these specific examples.

3. When you refer to specific historical evidence (which should be something you do frequently throughout the essay), indicate, in parentheses, the location in the course materials of the evidence. An example of this is in the first sentence above.

4. Do not simply copy what we (or anyone else) have said. If you do, use quotation marks to indicate that the words were written by someone else and be sure to indicate your source for the quotation in parentheses. Plagiarism is a serious violation of GSU policy that leads to severe penalties!

5. To qualify for a grade in the C range, your essay must be at least 600 words (which is approximately 2 double-spaced pages, depending on the formatting of your document). B-range essays must be at least 900 words, and A-range essays must be at least 1200 words. However, meeting the word requirement does not mean that you will necessary receive a certain grade.

We will grade the essay out of 100 possible points according to these criteria:

Up to 30 points for the student’s grasp of the larger historical context covered in the units

Up to 25 points for the appropriateness of the student’s choice of examples to analyze in depth and proper citation of these sources

Up to 25 points for the quality of the student’s analysis of those examples

Up to 20 points for appropriate grammar and graceful expression
Topic B

In Unit 6, we suggested that Africa and the Americas presented us with a set of historical experiences that in some ways differed from those of Eurasia (Video 6.1). This suggests that we need to imagine what it would be like to tell the story of world history from the perspective of these civilizations rather than those along the Silk Road. In this essay we ask you to present world history from the standpoint either of Africa or the Americas.

In an essay of 600 to 1200 words, explore the evidence from the videos and the assigned readings/images to describe some aspect of world history from roughly the start of the Common Era to 900 CE – trade, cities, empire, or religious practice, as a few examples – from the standpoint of either Africa or the Americas. In the end, you should persuade your reader, through your thoughtful analysis of the historical evidence, that the African or American trajectory was the norm, and the Eurasian model diverged from it.

When organizing your ideas and drafting your essay, follow these guidelines:

1. Build your analysis using the course materials. The basis of your essay should be the primary source material found at the end of Unit 6 under “Unit 6 Resources.” By all means, take the ideas and evidence offered in the videos (and please note that we have provided transcripts of the videos as well.) This information will provide context for the primary resources.

*DO NOT base your observations on other evidence that you locate on the web or elsewhere. Remember, a big part of this essay is showing your mastery of the course material as assigned.*

2. After reviewing the material from Week 6, choose the two — four examples from the primary sources that best allow you to make a persuasive case that African or American history followed a typical historical trajectory. While you want to show that you understand the larger trends in the material, take the time to explore in depth these specific examples.

3. When you refer to specific historical evidence (which should be something you do frequently throughout the essay), indicate, in parentheses, the location in the course materials of the evidence. An example of this is in the first sentence above.

4. Do not simply copy what we (or anyone else) have said. If you do, use quotation marks to indicate that the words were written by someone else and be sure to indicate your source in parentheses. Plagiarism is a serious violation of GSU policy that leads to severe penalties!

5. To qualify for a grade in the C range, your essay must be at least 600 words (which is approximately 2 double-spaced pages, depending on the formatting of your document). B-range essays must be at least 900 words, and A-range essays must be at least 1200 words. However, meeting the word requirement does not mean that you will necessary receive a certain grade.

We will grade the essay out of 100 possible points according to these criteria:

Up to 30 points for the student’s grasp of the larger historical context covered in the units

Up to 25 points for the appropriateness of the student’s choice of examples to analyze in depth and proper citation of these sources

Up to 25 points for the quality of the student’s analysis of those examples

Up to 20 points for appropriate grammar and graceful expression
