In an article from Beckman (2001) states,“Improved student learning requires teachers, schools, and districts to give up unproductive traditions and beliefs, replacing them with validated practices and a full understanding of the intent of the law.  Successful student access to the general education curriculum is most likely when there is general acceptance” of best practices in special education and adherence to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Scenario:

You are a special education teacher and your principal is concerned about the general education teachers being aware of special education laws and strategies for supporting students with disabilities in the general education classroom. With this in mind, the principal has asked you to put together an in-service presentation for the next faculty meeting (with mostly general education teachers) that reviews important components of special education, the law, and research-based strategies for instruction and inclusion.

The presentation should address the following components:

 

1. Overview of IDEA, least restrictive environment (LRE), and free and appropriate public education (FAPE)
2. Describe the purpose and main components of an individualized education program (IEP)
3. Describe accommodations and modifications that could support students with disabilities in the classroom
4. Compare and contrast learning disabilities (LD) and emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD)
5. Compare and contrast LD and intellectual disabilities (ID)
6. Compare and contrast EBD and ID
7. Inclusion tips for each of the disability areas above (LD, EBD, ID)

 

The presentation should be 15 to 20 slides, not including title and reference slides.  The presentation should have a professional appearance and provide images and other visuals to engage the audience.  Further, each slide should include slide notes that elaborate on the content of the presentation slide.  APA format should be used for all in-text citations and references.  Utilize at least two scholarly sources in addition to your course text.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

 

he onset of puberty marks a significant change in a person’s life biologically, psychologically, and socially. There are some myths regarding puberty that may skew its realities. Describe some of the myths and realities of puberty.

 

• Explain the psychological and social issues a person may face during the transition to puberty.
• Define adolescence from the psychological, and social or emotional perspectives.
• Explain some of the emotional changes that may occur at the onset of adolescence and as the individual mature through adolescence.

Part 2:

The transition into adulthood may differ depending on cultural traditions and rites of passage from adolescence to adulthood. The transition into adulthood is also a time for relationships and romance from a normative perspective.

• Describe at least two unique rites of passage to adulthood on the basis of ethnic or cultural variations.
• Explain the concepts of pluralism and assimilation and describe how they affect the rites of passage of individuals.
• Describe different attachment styles.
• Explain the attachment style you feel would be most effective in forming lasting relationships.
• Describe the different types of attraction.
• Explain the type of attraction you feel would be most effective in establishing lasting relationships.

n this assignment, you will apply key concepts covered in the module readings. You will identify the component parts of arguments and differentiate between various types of arguments such as inductive and deductive. You will then construct specific, original arguments.

There are two parts to the assignment. Complete both parts.

Part 1

1a: Identify Components of Arguments

Identify the component parts of the argument, premises and conclusion, for the following passages. Where applicable, highlight key words or phrases that identify a claim as a premise or a conclusion.

 

Refer to the following example:

“All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.”

 

All men are mortal.                                      Premise

Socrates is a man.                                      Premise

Therefore, Socrates is mortal.                     Conclusion

“Therefore” is a key word indicating the claim is the conclusion.

 

1. Sue is pregnant and will give birth to one child. We know already this child has no genetic anomalies. If Sue’s baby is a boy, he will be named Mark. If Sue’s baby is a girl, she will be named Margaret. Sue will have either a boy or a girl. So we know Sue’s baby will be named Mark or Margaret.

 

 

1. If the library has The Lord of the Rings,you won’t find it on the first floor. This is because all fantasy novels are fiction and all works of fiction are housed on the second floor of the library. Of course, I am assuming that all the books are properly shelved at this time.

 

 

3.   “After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).

1b: Identify Arguments as Inductive or Deductive

Identify the arguments as inductive or deductive for the following passages below. Offer a brief explanation why each argument is either inductive or deductive. (Remember that in this exercise you are not concerned with whether the arguments are strong or weak, valid or invalid. You are only concerned with the form of the arguments—that is, whether they are deductive or inductive.)

 

1. Because Una has circles under her eyes, is yawning, and looks tired, I’m certain she didn’t get much sleep last night.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Grace concluded that psychotherapists caused indigestion, because every time she had a session, she left with a horrible stomachache.

 

 

 

 

 

1. If a bug is a spider, it must have eight legs. A daddy-longlegs has six legs, consequently, a daddy-longlegs is not a spider.

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2

 

2a: Argument Identification and Anaylsis

In the following longer text passages, identify the key components of each argument. For each argument, list the main conclusion and the reasons (or premises) that support the conclusion.

Issue

 

1. “You say many women at the most elite colleges intend to ‘put aside their careers in favor of raising children.’ But why shouldn’t the raising of children be considered a career as well? Few would deny that being a stay-at-home parent is a terrifically demanding job, requiring unlimited ‘people skills’ and a total commitment to a workweek that recognizes no concept of overtime, not to mention a paycheck. The term ‘working mother’ is a redundancy. No woman need feel any guilt for opting to fill her days with whichever activities give her the greatest joy and fulfillment” (English, 2005).

 

 

The author concludes that: __________________________________

The reasons for making the argument are: _____________________

 

 

     

 

 

 

1. “The attorney general does not merely head up the Justice Department. He is responsible for ensuring that America is a nation in which justice prevails. Mr. Gonzales’s record makes him unqualified to take on this role or to represent the American justice system to the rest of the world. The Senate should reject his nomination” (The New York Times, Editorial, 2005).

The visual principle of gestalt, pioneered by German Max Wertheimer, is one of great importance in the design world. The statement, “The whole is different than the sum of it’s parts”, summarizes much of the gestalt theory. In this assignment we’ll explore this statment in detail.

 

Choose a famous work of art.  Look closely at the image and identify several of the individual elements within the image. Imagine the removal of one of these elements. How would the meaning of the image change? Remove a second. With two elements missing, how does the meaning change again?

 

In a brief 2-3 page analysis, identify the image you chose. Describe the meaning of the image as a whole. Then describe the meaning of the image as the first element is removed and again after the second is removed. What does this exercise show you in terms of how imagery can be
