urriculum MAP and Design- Need help completing part 1 (curriculum map) and part 2 (curriculum design). The assignment needs to be aligned and as specific as possible. My plan is to create something for 4th grade Reading Comprehension: The structure of a story. The following are attached: 1) What are curriculum maps (directions on how to complete the MAP) 2) Final Project (Parts 1 and 2 example) (An example of what the end product should look like) 3) 5 lesson plans related to story structures (These are examples, please feel free to use other lesson plans if need to) The following are the directions for the assignment: Curriculum Map: In this course, you will develop an original curriculum design. This curriculum will be a minimum of the equivalent of a single unit of instruction, or one week’s worth of work in a typical public school. This would encompass, at a minimum, five one-hour sessions of instruction. Your curriculum design may be longer, if you choose. You may select any topic you wish. Students have created a wide variety of projects in the past, including a course on “How to Use a Telescope to Read the Night Sky” to “Introduction to Dental Hygiene.” It is entirely up to you! Three samples are available in Start Here for your review. Your professor will also discuss the variety of potential projects in a Collaborate Session, Course Announcements and Discussion. This project will take place in two parts. Part One offers an overview of the curriculum itself. In Part Two you will design specific instruction including detailed lesson plans and instructional materials. Each part (one and two) should be formatted as a formal paper, be no more than 10-12 pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and is worth 15% of your grade. Part One of the Curriculum Design Project includes: The curriculum map, developing an outline of the curriculum, including needs assessment, goals, objectives, scope and sequence, and a plan for evaluation. Curriculum Design (Part 2) The topic this week is effectively designing aligned instruction from a completed curriculum map. You will be developing part 2 of the final project, the lesson plans that align to the curriculum map. The course objectives being focused on this week are: Articulate and apply an in depth understanding and knowledge of contemporary curriculum theory and instructional practices. Develop, defend, and apply a personal curriculum philosophy based on theoretical underpinnings and trends. Use a systematic approach in curriculum design processes. Develop a curriculum including course preparation material, instructional techniques, use of technology, forms of evaluation, and assessment of curricula.

what I would like you to do is to go to the Wikipedia site for Benjamin Drake Wright. Of course you know that this is the man who worked with Georg Rasch and pioneered Rasch. And naturally this is why we name the Wright Map the Wright Map.
Dr. Wright was my advisor at the University of Chicago. And it is from him that I learned how to measure with Rasch.
So for your memo this week—just look over Ben’s WWW and send me a page of your thoughts!

Answer the Question: Hoggan, Simpson and Stuckey (2009) discuss transformative learning as involving multiple ways of knowing. They suggest that learning activities that engage the imagination, emotions, and movement are integral to knowing, critical self-reflection, and the reconstruction of meaning characteristic of transformative learning. What are your reactions to this claim and instructional strategy?

Write a 1-2 page response outlining an author and/or theory (culturally relevant pedagogy) that prompted your instructionl decision making.
Draw upon educational philosophy and specific theories of development, learning, group work, and motivation, as well as conceptions and research-based practices of the discipline you are teaching. Formal citations are not required.
Do not merely cite a textbook author, name-drop, or describe a concept without making an explicit and well-developed connection between the theory/research and your plans for instruction and knowledge of your students. Be sure your justification centers on instructional and support choices that move the learner toward meeting the objectives in your lesson plans.
Justify how your understanding of yoru students’ prior academic learning personal/cultural/community assets guided your choice or adaption of learning tasks and materials. Be explicit about the connections between the learning tasks and students prior academic learning, assets, and research/theory.
You can use the following (or similar) starters to guide your response.
Phrase: [ ] says ….. this influenced how I …..
Phrase: Research by [___] suggests ….., with this in …..
Phrase: This decision was informed by ….
Phrase: Research says …….
Use the Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Writing Rubric to guide your responses. Self-assess your work prior to submitting.
I am using a reflective essay called “Little Things are Big” by Jesus Colon. We completed group discussions and summaries.

Differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students in the classroom should be part of every teacher’s instructional strategy. There are many techniques that can be used to modify instruction and accommodate for students’ needs, and knowledge about evidence-based practices for doing so should be used when making decisions about instruction. The use of Response to Intervention (RTI) programs and a multitier system of support (MTSS) to establish programs that meet the varied needs of students in one setting are commonly used strategies for differentiation. Additionally, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to guide these types of evidence-based instructional deliveries and practices. Data from tiered support systems such as RTI and MTSS can be used to steer the UDL framework.
Imagine that you have been asked to create an informational digital presentation about Universal Design for Learning approaches that can be used by special education and general education teachers in the grade levels associated with your field of study.
Refer to “The UDL Guidelines,” the topic materials, and your research to create an 8-10 slide digital presentation that addresses the following:
Explain how applying UDL principles in the educational setting can address the needs of all students, including students with disabilities.
Describe the UDL guidelines of engagement, representation, action, and expression.
Describe three specific, evidence-based UDL instructional approaches or adaptations that teachers could utilize to enhance the success and promote the growth and development of students with and without disabilities.
Discuss how UDL and the use of evidence-based strategies can influence and be used to improve professional practice and student outcomes. Provide specific examples to illustrate your ideas.
Provide links to five additional resources related to UDL statistics and approaches and describe how each would be beneficial to teachers as they implement the UDL framework.
Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Refer to “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success enter.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit assignments that are print deliverables to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Course Materials if you need assistance.
