In your initial post, please address the following:
Why might musicians use their music to raise awareness and consciousness about different social issues? In your response please use at least one example (from the video, from your own community or from a different resource) in order to illustrate your points.
Artists and musicians often choose to utilize public spaces. Why might a song, focused on a social justice issue, be more effective in public spaces rather than in a private home turned music venue? Do you think there would be fewer or more restrictions on the types of messages when presented in the public forum? Defend your position.
Benoit and Elaine are powerful examples of community building. In a separate paragraph describe a venue you would create if given the chance. What form of the arts would you focus on (dance, music, reading poetry, etc.) and what themes, social justice issues, or community issues would you present at the grand opening? Explain your choice.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

· Interview
Interview an early childhood teacher (preschool) who has at least one special education student in the class. Develop a 2–3 page report that can be shared with your class members in this unit’s discussion. The purpose of this interview experience is to help you get a sense of how a teacher adapts lessons using DAP to ensure all children learn, including those with exceptional needs.
Your interview will have two sections. In the first part you will ask general questions about the overall support of children with disabilities. In the second part of the interview you will narrow your focus to a specific category of disabilities.
Ask the following questions, along with any others that are important to you. If you like, you can share these questions with the teacher prior to the interview so they know what to expect.
Interview Outline
General Interview Questions
· How do you design or modify lessons based on the understanding and identification of exceptionality, challenges, and gifts? How do you support development and educational progress of the individual with exceptional learning needs?
· How do you analyze the different influences of a learning environment on a young child’s development?
· How would you create learning environments aligned to educational expectations and goals?
· How do you communicate and collaborate effectively with parents to best meet the child’s needs?
· What activities do you use to encourage student expression in a variety of forms, including speaking, physical activity, and artistic presentations?
Specific Disability Questions
Now that you have addressed some general guidelines and practices, ask some questions related to the specific disability of dyslexia. You may also choose to explore an additional disability if you are interested. In this case, model your questions on the ones given here for dyslexia.
· How do you design evidence-based instructional strategies for students based on the understanding and identification of students with dyslexia?
· How do you support development and educational progress of the individual with exceptional learning needs? How do you support development and educational progress of students with dyslexia? How is this alike or different?
· How can you use a structured literacy approach to meet the needs of students who show characteristics of dyslexia? Which reading programs does your school use to provide additional support to dyslexic students?
· What are some common interventions for students who show characteristics of dyslexia?
· What are some provisions that you make to act in the best interests of struggling readers and readers with dyslexia?
, how did teachers adapt lessons to make sure children with exceptional needs learn?
In the subject line of your post, be sure to note the age range of your interviewee’s students.
To protect confidentiality, please do not mention real names of those you observe or their school.

After completing the Week 5: Brad Strawn on Embodied Learning activity, respond to the following:
Narrative learning is the use of stories in the construction of meaning, whether the meaning-making has to do with the self, with the content of instruction, or with the world around us. Rossiter and Clark’s (2007) model claims three main uses of narrative in practice: narrative as curriculum, narrative as storytelling, and narrative as autobiography. Which of these might you use in a classroom setting and why? Describe a specific topic or lesson that you think would work well with one of the chosen narrative uses, and what are some of the challenges to implementing it.

This week you looked at Marxist theory, critical theory, multiculturalism, critical race theory, postmodernism, and feminist theory. Three main themes characterize this perspective. The first theme—race, class, and gender—leads to the second theme of how the intersections of race, class, and gender affect the distribution of resources and power so that some groups in our society are privileged and some are oppressed. The third theme—knowledge and truth—explores the nature and construction of knowledge as it relates to learning.
Think about one of the theories that you’ve encountered this week. How do you think it will impact how you approach instruction?

Interview
Interview one member of a family with a young child who is involved in some type of care or educational program. Ask the following:
· What are some of the biggest issues the parents and child struggle with in regard to education?
· What ways are the school administrators and teachers addressing their needs and providing support to them?
· How do they communicate with educators about their child and how is the communication reciprocated?
· Does the parent believe the school supports their cultural and diversity needs and is in sync with their own beliefs toward education?
Actively listening to parents and discovering the issues and problems that are affecting them is vital to helping promote a positive learning environment for children. Share the findings you discovered through your interview this week, taking care to not identify the family by name. Identify any positive or negative issues related to home-school communication and how or if the school is appropriately addressing diverse needs.
