Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Strategies

Read the articles “10 Effective DAP Teaching Strategies” and “Culturally Responsive Classroom Strategies.” In addition, view the Culture in the Classroom website and the Lisa Delpit Interview article. 

After reviewing the required resources, identify and discuss three
challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are
appropriate for culturally diverse children. Then, discuss these
cultural challenges in the classroom using one sociological perspective
(i.e., functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, etc.)
and another relevant perspective, such as Piaget’s preoperational stage
of development. Finally, identify and discuss how the challenges related
to differences in culture may be addressed by a teacher in a way that
increases the child’s cognitive advancement and academic success. 

You must use at least three scholarly sources other than the textbook
and required resources for this assignment. The paper must include a
summary of each of the challenges identified and each of the remedies to
those challenges. In addition, you must include an explanation of the
cultural challenges in the classroom using one of the sociological
perspectives and Piaget’s theory of the preoperational stage of
cognitive development. 

Criteria: 

1. Must be three to four double-spaced pages in
   length, not including title and reference pages, and formatted according
   to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
2. Must include at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook and required resources.
3. Must include, on the final page, a reference list
   that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford
   Writing Center.
4. Must be well organized and reflect college-level writing.

Part 1

We looked at Progress Reports in Chapter 9 of our text during last week’s assignments. Progress reports (also called Status Reports) are an important element of your participation in engineering projects. You will be required to submit Progress Reports for the two upcoming major assignments in this class (the Proposal and the Research Project).

Have a look at a good description of Progress Reports in the technical professions at

http://www.writing.engr.psu.edu/workbooks/prog.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Also, review the information about Progress Reports in Chapter 9 of our text.

Then . . . Examine the Progress Report examples in Chapter 9 of our text. This is a progress report related to a research project, and will be very similar to the kind of Progress Report you will be asked to produce for our final research project.

Next . . . Analyze the report here, in this Discussion forum. Specifically, tell us

1. How does this report match the requirements for a Progress Report outlined in our book?

2. How does this report match the requirements for a Progress Report outlined in the Website, above?

3. What tips, specifically, can you get from looking at this report that may help you design and write your own, upcoming status reports for the Proposal and for the Research projects?

Be specific. Be detailed. And write at least 300 words for this assignment.

Overview

The Progress Report which describes your engineering and research activities is one of the most important documents an engineer has to write. For ENC 3246 students, your report will demonstrate to the instructor your progress on an upcoming assignment. You also will learn how to write Progress Reports in the real world.

Your Progress Report should contain at least the following headings:

SUMMARY/PROJECT DESCRIPTION – A short description of your project and a summary of the overall project goal.

GANTT CHART – A complete, accurate, and visually-appealing Gantt chart describing the due dates and various phases of your project.

WORK COMPLETED – A short description of the progress you have made during the previous week. Make sure that you are accurate and honest about the work accomplished. An experienced Progress Report reader can tell if you are overstating or misrepresenting your completed work.

ISSUES OR PROBLEMS – A description of any problems or issues you have had during the past week and a plan to address or resolve these issues. Be sure to discuss how any problems have impacted the project.

WORK REMAINING/PLAN FOR THE COMING WEEK – A short description of the remaining work and your plan for the coming week.

CHANGES – A description of any changes in specifications, resources or schedules which are likely to affect your progress.

OTHER INFORMATION – Any information not elsewhere classified in this report.

Your Class Project Progress Reports

The primary goal of your class project reports will be to inform your instructor of the nature of your project, the amount of work you’ve already accomplished, the amount of work you have left to do, and your overall comfort level about meeting the assignment deadline. Your instructor will use your report to determine if you are making sufficient progress and if you need additional direction or help.

Your best example of an effective progress report for this assignment is Case Document 9-3 in The Essentials of Technical Communication by Tebeaux and Dragga. However, make sure that you include at least the particular progress report headings mentioned earlier in this assignment.

Progress Reports in the Workplace

As a young engineer, you will find writing these reports difficulty and inconvenient. As a Senior Engineer you will learn that these documents are vital for maintaining effective engineering management of a project. It is to your professional advantage to keep project management informed of your progress and especially of your failures and difficulties.

Your reports will be used by senior engineering management for the purposes of allocating scarce resources, updating interface specifications and – most of all – identifying at an early stage any problems requiring additional attention. Good managing engineers want to see your failures and problems at the top of the list because bad news, if hidden or not disclosed, can defeat an engineering project. Good news always reaches managers and normally doesn’t require their immediate attention or action.

In addition to providing a tool for engineering management oversight, your weekly Progress Reports will serve as a record of your achievement for your annual personnel review. If you are a competent engineer, then you will be able to bring this record of your year’s work to your review meeting and discuss with your supervisor in tangible terms how you met his/her/the company’s objectives and why you have earned an increase in compensation or why you deserve a promotion.

The quality and accuracy of your weekly Progress Reports will be primary factors in building your engineering reputation. Both your career and your financial success will depend on your ability to be an effective engineer and author. Your Progress Reports are your advertising and your record of achievement.
