2.3: Written Assignment: Becoming Familiar with Your edTPA Handbook:

Written Assignment:
Note: There are 2 parts to this written assignment

Objectives:
– To read through the edTPA handbook that pertains to your the grade and content area (English/ELA grades -12) of your residency placement. Pay close attention to the assessment rubrics

–To use active reading strategies as you go through the handbook: take notes, ask questions, highlight…
Note: It is in your best interest to print a hard copy of the handbook.

– To complete this assignment with a preliminary road map of how you will approach edTPA with your critic teacher and ESC professors

Assessment/Grading:
KWL chart= 25%
Short answer 1 = 25%
Short answer 2 = 25%
Short answer 3 = 25%

Turn in:
Part 1:

Before reading your edTPA handbook, start a K-W-L chart.
These charts are usually 3 columns where:
K = What you think you know about edTPA before reading
W= What you want to know before you start reading
L= What you learned from the reading

Any unanswered questions should be posed to the Residency professor and your MAT content area professor.

Here is a link to a K-W-L chart:
http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/printouts/KWL%20Chart.pdf

Part 2:
Using your K-W-L chart answer the following three short answer questions
These paragraphs must demonstrate graduate level writing and include specific references to your edTPA handbook as well as any of the readings assigned in this module that may pertain to your response.

Question #1:
What surprised you the most while reading your edTPA handbook? Why? How will you start now to develop the skills necessary to meet this unforeseen challenge?

Question #2:
You will create your edTPA portfolio during the spring semester. Have you discussed with your critic teacher what parts of the curriculum you will be covering? If not when can you do so? What information does your critic teacher need regarding edTPA to help you?

Have you thought about the “nuts and bolts”, meaning the materials you will need such as student and school permission slips for the video taping, a camera to record your teaching, someone (your critic teacher?) who can do the recording?

Can you think of any other details you need to discuss now with your critic teacher to insure your edTPA success?

Question 3:
A large portion of edTPA depends on your knowledge of your content area as well as sound pedagogy.
Based on the following rubric indicators what do you see already occurring in your classroom setting?
What can you work on now in order to build rapport with the students?
What would the following indicators look like in your work with your students?

Indicators to refer to:
– How are language supports strategically designed to address all language demands for students with varying characteristics and language needs?

– When and how can you practice using challenging high-order questions, such as, “what’s another way to think of that?” “who has another perspective?”

– When and how can you create challenging learning situations that provide students the opportunity to express varied perspectives and that promote mutual respect among students as well as among students and teachers?

– At this early stage, do you see ways to link both prior knowledge and personal, cultural, and/or community assets to new learning?

Assignment: Application: Federalism and Separation of Power

In this week’s Discussion, you explained how the concepts of representative democracy, constitutional democracy, and republic forms of government impact democratic governance. Now you will consider the specifics of federalism and separation of powers in the United States. Federalism and separation of powers are hallmarks of American government. Contentious issues in the public agenda often are the result of a simple disagreement over state powers versus federal powers in governmental matters. The manner in which the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government carry out their respective duties also is a point of conflict. When analyzing the influence of federalism and separation of powers on democratic governance, it is prudent to note the principles of each concept.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the article “The State of American Federalism, 2004: Is Federalism Still a Core Value?” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about whether federalism remains significant in current governance.
• Review the “Constitution of the United States” in this week’s Learning Resources. https://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/co…
• Look for specific instances in the Constitution that explicitly describes the separation of powers and the concept of federalism. Think about the term separation of powers and reflect on how those powers are executed by the government. Are the powers actually “separated” or are the powers actually “shared” by different branches but executed “separately”? For example, in the Constitution, Congress is charged with enacting laws, the Executive Branch is charged with executing the laws, and the Judicial branch is charged with deciding the application of those laws in specific cases. In addition, Federalist 78 and the Supreme Court ruling in Marbury v. Madison (1803) also charge the Judicial branch with determining the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress. As a result, each branch has the power to determine either what the law says or how it is executed or applied. Thus, the power of “the law” is shared by each branch, yet each branch executes that power separately.
• Reflect on the concepts of federalism and separation of powers and think about how each concept influences current governance.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

• Briefly describe the concepts of federalism and separation of powers. Cite specific references in the Constitution to illustrate your concepts.
• Evaluate the concept of separation of powers and explain whether you agree that the powers are separate or that they are shared but executed separately.
• Explain the influence of federalism and the separation of powers on current governance. Select specific examples of current governance to illustrate the influence of each concept.
• Share at least one insight that you gained as a result of your analysis. Or, if you live outside the United States, explain how you think federalism and separation of powers might affect governance in your country.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.

An required assignment (RA) is a substantive assessment intended to measure student performance against selected course objectives and/or program outcomes within a course. RAs are completed by all students across all University campuses and delivery formats without exception. Each RA assignment contributes to a significant portion of the overall course grade and is assessed by faculty using the rubric designed for that assessment. These are individual assignments, and students earn individual grades. RAs are not intended to assess students on every topic covered in the course, just on the key course objectives and/or program outcomes.

For this assignment you will visualize a personally selected work scenario for which you will present a plan for leadership through change.

Your plan is based on a stage model and includes the key goals and objectives and the activities and tools you would use to achieve them. While you may assume that management understands and appreciates management concepts, be sure your notes are also instructive to help managers understand cultural, group, and individual psychological factors that might be important. If you are using materials from a resource, include a citation on your slide. At the end of the presentation, include a list of the cited references. Remember to proofread your presentation.

The following basic stages are given as a guide for one final check of your course project. Note: Remember, this project is all about planning. Ensure your plan addresses how these stages will be carried out in support of the change process.

A: Initiating, articulating, and doing strategic planning

• Articulate the basic need and motivation for the change.
• Develop a coalition within the organization to plan the basic strategy for the change.
• Articulate the vision to guide the strategic planning for the change.

B: Dissemination

• Translate the vision and plan to various stakeholder groups.
• Plan for and respond to resistance.

C: Action and evaluation

• Create opportunities for forward progress.
• Evaluate progress and provide feedback to make modifications as needed.

Make your final revisions to your presentation on the basis of the following criteria:

• Information is organized and comprehensive.
• Concepts are presented in a coherent and cohesive manner.

Your final deliverable should be a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation approximately 8–12 slides in length, utilizing a minimum of six scholarly sources. The presentation should have detailed speaker’s notes. All citations and references should be in APA format on both the slides and the speaker’s notes. A reference page, in APA format, should be included as a slide at the end of the presentatio
