Question 1 (between 1,000 and 1,300 words)
Independent learning after attending lectures is important. Recall that the topic “critical appraisal”
has been discussed in a lecture:
(i) critical appraisal refers to “assessing the methodological quality of a study” and is a key
part in evidence-based education
(ii) note also that critical appraisal is a process within “systematic review”
The design of this question is to enable you to have a more in-depth understanding of systematic
review through a directed-learning concept. Below are more detailed instructions:
i.use any of the search engines (e.g., Google …) and type in “systematic review”
ii. you will find information about “systematic reviews” within different web-pages
iii. read information about systematic reviews from relevant websites and other relevant
materials you can find from other sources (e.g., the Library) — bear in mind that not
everything in the web can be trusted; this question is also designed to test your ability on
selection and judgment.
Then, write an essay on the topic “What is systematic review and critical appraisal; and why are
they important?”

In your assignment this week, you will develop the learning scenario on which you will base most of your other assignments in this course. Your learning scenario can focus on a problem that exists in your current or past organization or a change requested by key stakeholders in the organization. Focus on who in the organization is being asked to change (target audience); what is currently taking place (“as is” state); and what stakeholders want to take place after a training or educational intevention (“to be” or “future” state). Keep your learning scenario simple with a focus on a single problem or change that you believe can be solved by training or education.
Your learning scenario can be based on previous, present, or fictitious experiences. For example, if you are not an instructional designer, but have participated in a course or training program that did not meet the learning goals or close a performance gap, you might choose that learning scenario as your example. If you are currently an instructional designer or working in that role, you might choose an upcoming project or a portion of that project to work on for this assignment.
As always, consult your professor if you need help formulating your learning scenario so that the scenario includes a clear learning need.
Be sure to include the following components in your assignment:
Describe the learning scenario with comprehensive detail. Be sure to identify the current state (“as is”) and the desired future state (“to be”). Use fictitious names of individuals and organizations, even if the scenario is not based on actual events. Developing your own learning scenario is how you get to tailor the assignment to your interests and experiences. This approach is often referred to as a learner-centered design.
Analyze the learning need in the scenario. Start by describing the learning need and how you know it is a learning need.
Justify which model (problem, innovation, discrepancy) you think would be most appropriate in conducting the needs assessment.
Discuss any ethical, legal, or political factors that might influence the identification or analysis of the learning need or needs assessment model. For example, would the organization be liable to pay penalties if your analysis revealed than mandated safety training had not occurred and was necessary? What if executives put pressure on you to overlook certain findings in favor of their own perspectives?
Length: 3-5 pages, excluding title and reference pages
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.
The completed assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. The content should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards and should adhere to…..

Please use the attached Template to design the lesson plan. I choose 1100 words to cover the word count of 550 for the template and 550 for the writing of the rational explanation.
Assessment Description
An essential part of being a special educator is writing and implementing IEPs and lesson plans associated with goals on IEPs. Due to legal requirements, special educators should understand the steps that go into planning effective lessons and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. Being able to translate IEP goals into learning objectives and accompanying lessons requires practice.
Review “Marcus Partial IEP and Lesson” to inform the assignment.
Upon reviewing the Present Level of Performance and the second grade literacy-based standards, create one academic goal specific to Marcus’ needs. Include this academic goal within the “Lesson Summary and Focus” section of the “COE Lesson Plan Template.”
Design a standards-based lesson plan, using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” that modifies and extends skills taught in Marcus’ sample lesson plan and is aligned to his identified academic goal.
Write a 250-500 word rationale explaining your instructional choices, how your lesson extends the skills taught in the “Sample Lesson Plan” for Marcus, and how the lesson is appropriate for meeting Marcus’ academic goal. Discuss how elements of UDL will be incorporated to enhance Marcus’ learning

THIS ASSESSMENT HAS 2 PARTS
For this assignment, take on the role of a first-year special education teacher who has been assigned to the resource room to work with students who are working at the ninth grade level for both English and math. You have about 10 students during this class period and an aide to assist you. Students meet with you for 50 minutes each day to get help with homework, finish their classwork, study for tests, and get extra support in each subject area. You will need to structure the class so that student needs in both subject areas will have time to be addressed.
Use the “Class Profile” to obtain specific information about the needs of your students.
Part 1: Teacher Inquiries
In 250-500 words compose a response for the following:
Questions you would have about your teaching assignment before it begins, including any requests for additional information.
Questions you would have for fellow teachers and administration.
Information you would like to have before the end of the first week of school.
Provide a rationale for each inquiry. Cite both the “Class Profile” and an additional minimum of two outside scholarly resources in your responses.
Part 2: Classroom Environment
In 500-750 words compose a response for the following:
Provide a minimum of three possible ways to structure the classroom setting.
Provide a minimum of two possible ways to structure a class period.
Provide a minimum of three instructional strategies, to include accommodations and/or assistive technology, to meet the curricular content needs of your students in both the English language arts and math classes.
Provide two collaboration strategies to use when working with the classroom aide assisting you in meeting the needs of the students in the resource room setting.
Provide support for your responses, citing both the “Class Profile” and an additional minimum of two outside scholarly resources.
