  • As illustrated in the introduction discussion
    this week, each of you has experienced a unique
    journey through a variety of educational
    experiences throughout your lives. Naturally,
    some of these experiences will have contributed
    to your personal development and identity with
    greater impact than others. Furthermore, many
    in-school variables have affected your
    educational journey. The decisions made by those
    teachers and school staff defining your in-school
    learning experiences were derived from their
    philosophies of education and their understanding
    of educational theory. The prevailing educational
    theories informing your teachers could likely be
    defined along the continuum of major theories
    that include behaviorism, cognitivism, and
    constructivism. Refer to the Learning Theories
    resources provided in the Instructor Guidance for
    a concise review of these major theories.

  • Caines Arcade. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Caine is a
    9-year-old boy whose afterschool and weekend
    project turned into an international imagination
    movement. As theCaines Arcade video explains,
    Caine built a gaming arcade almost entirely out
    of cardboard and opened it up for business in the
    storefront of his fathers auto parts store. This
    story provides an excellent example of how
    characteristics of Caines personal identity
    might affect how and what he learned from the
    specific experiences portrayed. The cultural
    values that nurtured Caines curiosity and
    inventiveness can be identified within his video
    story and the factors contributing to his funds
    of knowledge going into the project can

  • Nikhil Goyal is a successful high school student
    who, like many students his age, hates school.
    But unlike most students his age, Nikhil wrote a
    speech about it and delivered it to a global
    audience via a TEDX Youth(2012) presentation. The
    central theme of the presentation is relevance
    and, specifically, how schools often lack
    relevance to the lives of their learners. The
    majority of Nikhils story focuses on Nick Perez,
    a boy who was marginalized in school and
    medicated to be able to adhere to the parameters
    of thought and behavior expected for
    participation in the school. As you view the
    presentation, you will learn how Nick became
    disillusioned by the lack of relevancy and
    interest in his studies and how his
    disenfranchisement eventually led him to drop out
    of school.

  • Landfill Harmonics and 21st-Century Skills. 1st
    Post Due by Day 3. As educators, knowing about
    the 21st- century skills is important, and being
    able to recognize the skills within specific
    examples is an indicator that you truly
    understand them and how they work in application.
    In Week One, we discussed the story of Caine and
    his arcade as a way to explore how culture
    influences creativity, imagination, and
    inventiveness. In this discussion, we go a step
    further by considering 21st-century skills in
    relation to another inspiring

  • Outside Challenges. 1st Post Due by Day 3. This
    discussion focuses on identifying the economic,
    technological, social and personal factors
    outside of school that can result in barriers to
    academic success inside school. From Week Ones
    readings of the course text and the assessments
    related thereto, you should now be familiar with
    the research that describes the relationship
    between factors of social class and school
    success, the impact of diversity on learning, and
    the importance of family involvement. These
    factors

  • In Chapter 12, Wardle (2013) summarizes the
    important characteristics of a culturally
    relevant teacher. Use this information as a guide
    or resource throughout this assignment to help
    inspire your thinking as you apply your knowledge
    of culturally relevant pedagogy toward specific
    solutions to problems facing a teacher with a
    very diverse student population. This exercise
    provides excellent practice over the application
    of culturally relevant principles in the design
    of effective instructional solutions. You will
    need to design such instructional solutions
    within the Final Project, so it is very important
    to practice such skills here. Specifically, for
    this assignment, you will view a brief video
    taken with a cell

  • Creating an Evaluation Instrument for Cultural
    Relevance in the Classroom. 1st Post Due by Day
    3. In this discussion, you will apply your
    knowledge of culturally relevant pedagogy to
    examine the degree to which a specific
    place-based experience implements culturally
    relevant strategies. Please review this weeks
    Instructor Guidance for detailed assistance on
    preparing for and completing this discussion.

  •  
  • Equal Versus Equitable. 1st Post Due by Day 3. It
    can be difficult for students in any class to
    understand the importance of equity in their
    classroom. Its not fair! is a common reaction
    from students who observe other students getting
    benefits that they did not receive. For example,
    some students with specific learning disabilities
    may receive additional time to complete
    assignments. Wardle (2013) points out a clear
    distinction between equality and equity noting
    that Equal education is providing equal
    resources and opportunities for all students to
    succeed in education (p. 51). On the other hand,
    according to Banks (2013), equitable education
    goes beyond equal, and to some extent
    contradicts it, in that it requires tailoring the
    educational approach... to each student, based on
    the students individual and cultural
    characteristics, so the student can achieve to
    his or her full potential,

  • A number of important resources supporting the
    design, development, implementation, and
    evaluation of culturally relevant instructional
    experiences are available online. Throughout this
    course, you have had many opportunities to view a
    number of such resources. This assignment
    encourages you to reflect on the key concepts
    presented in the course through the creation of a
    web-based presentation or website that you can
    use in the future to support your teaching
    efforts. The goal is to showcase several model
    schools or programs representing what you have
    learned thus far regarding culturally relevant
    practices, creativity, and innovation. A plethora
    of options exists as you search for model

  • Models of Creativity. 1st Post Due by Day 3.
    Robinson (2011) noted that When people say to me
    that they are not creative, I assume that they
    havent yet learnt what is involved (p. 1). Do
    you find it interesting to consider that
    creativity can be learned? Or conversely, that it
    can be unlearned? In this discussion, you will
    apply your knowledge of creativity and the
    strategies needed to encourage it by reflecting
    on a personal experience in which your creativity
    was either stifled or enhanced. Please review
    this weeks Instructor Guidance for specific
    assistance on excelling in this discussion.

  • Triangle of Support. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Have
    you ever seen Blue Man Group perform? If not,
    here is a ten- minute video that showcases the
    groups unique, creative talent Blue Man Group
    part 01. In their own way, the members of the
    Blue Man Group reflect the essence of the
    Landfill Harmonic project. For example, at the
    heart of Blue Man Groups act are musical
    instruments made from things that were not
    originally designed to make music. Similar to the
    Landfill Harmonic accomplishments, Blue Man
    Groups creativity is not just applied to making
    music, but to making the instruments that make
    the music.
  • Something you might not know about the Blue Man
    Group is that the members have created a school
    specifically designed to encourage and cultivate
    the creative spirit in

  • For this assignment, you need to assume the role
    of a classroom educator. This can be based on a
    class that you are currently teaching, one that
    you have previously taught, or one that you hope
    to teach in the future. Suppose you are
    participating in a department team meeting with
    the other teachers in your grade level. You are
    having a discussion about an upcoming unit. One
    of the teachers indicates that she plans to
    distribute the same packets she used last year
    and schedule five days of independent seat work
    for her students to complete the packets by
    locating answers in the course textbook. This
    would be followed by a written exam over the
    material in the packets.

  • Decisions! Decisions! 1st Post Due by Day 3.
    Teachers are professionals who must make many
    decisions throughout their day! Some decisions
    are immediate, spur of the moment choices like
    disciplining students or revising a lesson that
    is not working. Others decisions are more
    calculated, like developing a semester-long
    project designed to incorporate community
    resources into a problem-solving scenario. All
    the small decisions teachers make throughout
    their day likely support the two most important,
    larger overarching decisions that are made at the
    beginning of a learning experience and are based
    in part on many macrocultural and microcultural
    factors

  • Creativity, Innovation, and Culture. 1st Post Due
    by Day 3. In this final reflection, you are asked
    to describe a set of skills you acquired over the
    years that allows you to be creative in some way.
    This might be musical instrument skills, cooking,
    knitting, writing, model-building,
    gardening....anything you consider yourself good
    at that encourages you to experience ...the
    process of having original ideas that have value
    (Robinson, 2011, p. 151). By analyzing these
    skills in light of the culturally relevant
    context in which they were learned, you may
    realize an even deeper understanding of the
    skills facilitated within this course.
