The use of state mandated content standards in curriculum for special education students
Differentiated learning
Diversity and socioeconomic status
Inclusive classrooms
Evidence-based instructional technology integration
Standardized testing
Response to intervention
Any other relevant change or reform, with approval from your instructor
In 500-750 words discuss both positive and negative aspects of these changes or reforms. Propose at least one change or reform that would benefit the future of special education. Explain how your suggested change or reform could be brought about.
Science and health content are essential at all grade levels. The importance of science and health initiatives extend past the walls of the school and should be promoted by the students and families in their homes. This begins with an understanding of the standards and how they are being taught and supported in the classroom.
Create a 10-12 digital slide presentation to be presented to students’ families. Include the following:
Welcome slide outlining the session objectives based on where the presentation will be held (i.e., welcome night, curriculum night, open house).
An overview of the Next Generation Science Standards.
A comparison of your state’s adopted science standards to the Next Generation Science standards to promote mastery of learning for all students in the inclusive classroom. If your state has adopted the NGSS, discuss when the adoption took place and a short comparison to the previously adopted standards.
An overview of your state’s adopted health standards.
Describe two potential science projects that integrate health and could take place throughout the school year. Discuss how students’ strengths and weaknesses will be considered to allow equal access for all and how each lesson will provide an opportunity for students to practice skills that contribute to good health.
Next Generation Science Standards and learning objectives to be used for each project.
Identify ways that the projects can be differentiated to support students with disabilities, ELL, gifted, early finishers, and students with 504 Plans.
Share examples of how families can promote science and health standards at home to help create a mutually respectful learning environment.
Title slide, presenter’s notes, and reference slide.
The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
Support your digital presentation with a minimum of two scholarly resources.

To create a graphic organizer that captures researcher Joyce Epstein’s six overlapping spheres of influence of home and school and to evaluate your graphic organizer.
Scenario:
You are a new teacher in a preschool that is committed to improving its approach to family engagement. You have observed that teachers hold many different views of what the term “family engagement” means for your preschool. Your center director is aware that you have been strongly influenced by the work of Joyce Epstein, a leader in school–family–community research. Your director enlists you to create a graphic organizer explaining Epstein’s six overlapping spheres of influence of home and school as a way for you two to begin drafting a vision for the school. Your director then asks you to incorporate a sentence for each sphere of influence in your graphic organizer to elaborate on its meaning. Finally, your director asks you to incorporate one example of good practice for each sphere.
Focus Assignment
1. Create a graphic organizer, using basic digital art tools, that shows the six overlapping spheres of influence of home and school based on Epstein’s model. Then, write a sentence for each sphere that summarizes the essence of its meaning. Last, add one example of good practice to each sphere.
Self-Evaluation
1. For each sphere in your graphic organizer:
a. Explain how this sphere addresses the issues in the scenario.
2. Describe and justify how your graphic organizer would improve teaching and learning in the scenario.

To create an informational pamphlet for parents about good parenting based on current brain research and to evaluate your pamphlet.
Scenario:
You are a teacher in a kindergarten class in a school known for having very involved parents. Lately, several parents have asked you about CDs they should purchase (e.g., Baby Einstein), or specific educational toys designed to promote their child’s brain development. The message you want to get across is that developing a stable and nurturing relationship with your child is the number one goal—far more effective than any product you can buy. Rather than having parents put you on the spot about the “right way to teach their child,” you decide to write a pamphlet for parents with ideas for the types of dynamic interactions with the environment they can engage in with their child. You also decide to incorporate a list of appropriate materials for parents to have on hand at home, such as soft toys and beginning books. You also include a Q&A section in which you briefly discuss developmentally appropriate curricula (as opposed to curriculum that is too advanced for young children).
Focus Assignment
1. Create a pamphlet for parents in which you explain how the latest brain research has important implications for raising young children. Provide three activities for healthy brain development that incorporate stimulating activities such as touching, singing, playing simple games, and talking. Incorporate a section describing three stimulating materials for parents to have on hand at home. Last, incorporate a two-item Q&A section to briefly discuss developmentally appropriate curricula for the children in your classroom.
2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self-evaluation after you have completed your pamphlet.
Self-Evaluation
1. For each activity in your pamphlet:
a. Explain how this activity addresses the issues in the scenario.
2. Describe and justify how your pamphlet would improve teaching and learning in the scenario.
