How do the social identities impact you, your students, and your school?

Based on this week’s Required Studies, develop material that weaves the following concepts as well as others you have gleaned from your studies this week:

  • How do the social identities (culture, ethnicity, and race) impact you, your students, and your school?
  • What assumptions do we make about people from different races, ethnicities, and cultures?
  • Pose your own answer to Sichel and Bacon’s (2015) question, “Why is there a dichotomy—where some students achieve and some students do not?” (p. 207).
  • Why is it important to develop equity in your classroom?
  • How will this perspective affect what you teach, and how will you teach it?

    You may elect to show your learning in one of the following ways:

    • Write a 2- to 3-page reflection paper
    • Create a narrated Prezi or PowerPoint
    • Make a video of yourself discussing the prompts or a narrated video that uses graphics

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

Submit Assignment: Advocacy Action Plan

Due Saturday

Important note: In addition to submitting this critical assessment to Blackboard, it is required that you also submit it to Taskstream. You will not receive a grade for the assignment in Blackboard until you have submitted it to Taskstream. You may submit it to both places at the same time and are not required to wait for instructor approval to submit to Blackboard after submitting to Taskstream. 

In this project, you will generate a five-part advocacy plan to ensure that your community of learners is fully supported and engaged in learning opportunities that meet their diverse, individual needs. Develop a 7- to 9-page plan that includes the following components:

Introduction: Setting the Stage

Set the stage by introducing your advocacy plan components with your classroom/teaching/professional context. This will include information on your learners’ backgrounds (race, culture, SES, language, special learning needs, etc.) as well as your geographic location. Also address any particularly “hot button” issues or current events in your local community that have the potential to inform your students’ classroom experiences (e.g. you live in an area where police/community relations are strained).

Part 1. The Educator’s Impact

Section One: This section is comprised of your personal reflection on your life experiences that inform your background that you bring with you to the classroom/educational setting. These topics will vary depending on who you are and where you live but may include things like your race, your childhood experiences in school, your geographic location as a child or adult, your family’s history with schooling, and so on. Be sure to consider how these issues do or could impact your teaching/educational leadership and make these connections explicit for the reader. (9i InTASC)

Section Two: Reflect on your own strengths and challenges as an educator committed to equality in the learning environment. What areas do you still need or want to learn more about to improve your practice with students/learners? Identify at least two resources or experiences that you need to have/use to address these gaps. Present a short rationale for your choices and your action plan to engage in that work. (9e InTASC)

Part 2. Educational Norms/Professional Interactions (3L InTASC)

One of the challenges in the classroom/educational setting can be effective communication that works well for a variety of learners and variety of messages. One strategy to help you ensure that your communication strategies are responsive and supportive is to develop classroom/educational setting norms that can guide your work as a community of learners.

In this section, develop a set of norms for communication that are appropriate for the age/content that you teach or lead. Be sure to identify exactly how you believe these strategies support the context you described in the introduction to your advocacy action plan. Your choices need to be attentive to the cultural dynamics that are present in your classroom/setting.

Part 3: Peer-to-peer Relationships (3o InTASC)

How do you model and encourage effective peer-to-peer relationships? Describe and explain how you will teach a strategy to your students that encourages relationships that are accepting and responsive to student diversity. Target the choices you make to the age/content that you teach. If you teach adolescents, you might focus on the power of language to include or exclude. If you teach young children, you might focus on strategies for learning to include others in games at recess. Choose one idea and develop it well, ensuring that you are detailing both why you have chosen it and how you would enact it.

Part 4: Family/Student Support (3a InTASC)

You will write this piece of your advocacy action plan as a recommendation to your administration or school grade level team to support family/community collaboration to meet student learning needs. If you work in an educational setting outside of a school, please adjust the audience of your piece accordingly (you might write this for a manager or supervisor instead of principal).

Reflecting on the resources and community supports that you identified during the course readings and activities, identify three effective ways to involve or include families in your students’ learning experiences. Address how these will provide opportunities for family engagement that may not be typically present in your school/educational setting (do not just report on what currently exists in the school site). Be sure that these are approaches that foster collaboration with families and can or would be supported by your school/educational site.

Part 5: Identifying your Role as an Educational Advocate for Students

After completing this course, you have developed a set of skills and understanding that deepens your understanding about your students and their lives and the impact that your teaching has on their experiences. What are you going to do with this knowledge? Educators are advocates for their students by default – you can choose to be proactive with this knowledge and work in areas/issues that are particularly meaningful for you. What role do you choose to take? How do you intend to advocate for your students? Identify at least two ways that you believe you can be a voice for your students and discuss how you envision yourself taking on this role.

**Please submit the entire advocacy action plan as one Word file with clear headers to identify each part of the plan. Please be sure that you are including appropriate in-text citations and references at the end of each section (not at the end of the entire plan) to support your ideas.

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style

What is the Area for Action that you feel is most important for public health preparedness?

Heightening Awareness and Modifying Health Behavior

Case Assignment

Read the module Home page and required readings. Read through this assignment, instructions, and the Assignment Expectations.

In her commentary, “The Global Dimensions of Public Health Preparedness and Implications for US Action,” Moore (2012) points out that Public Health is truly a global issue; and she discusses what that means for us here in the US in terms of our need for preparedness. She suggests four areas for action: 1) sensitize practitioners to the global nature of diseases, 2) learn from the success of other countries, 3) US Investment in Global Health, and 4) acting locally on global issues.

Instructions

Your assignment is to write an essay in which you select the single area that you feel to be the most important for public health preparedness. Justify your position.

You can submit your paper in a Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.

  1. What is the Area for Action that you feel is most important for public health preparedness? (Please write 1 paragraph maximum here)

Hint: you will need to conduct your own scholarly research for information on the topic. For example, enter The Online Library and enter search terms, such as “Public Health Preparedness.” Be sure to check the box to limit your search to full-text access.

  1. Why might each of the other dimensions be slightly less important? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

Length: 2–3 pages.

For this assignment, you are asked to develop a literature review on the topic of strategic human resource management. The paper requires you to develop a short (about three to five pages) document on the current thinking and research in the area of strategic human resource management.
