What reflective elements do you see in this artist’s statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature?

A large part of your grade in this unit is the Writer’s Statement (See part 2 on your assignment sheet). An artist’s statement, or a writer’s statement, is a kind of reflection. In order to craft an effective statement, the artist must first reflect on the work they’ve done, the choices they made, and the previous work/experience that led to this moment. For that reason, I want to pause and discuss why we write reflections and what makes a good reflection. This assignment is meant to help you understand the Writer’s Statement so that you can do well on the assignment.Task:For this assignment, you should first read Reflection Handout PDFActions about comprehensive reflections. Then answer the questions below.What are three lessons/ideas that struck you as important or interesting from the handout? For each one, summarize the idea, then explain what this idea/lesson means to you and how will use it to write your own reflection in this unit.I’ve provided guiding questions for you so that you can write an effective Writer’s Statement in Unit 3. Look over those guiding questions, which can be found in the Final Submission Dropbox. Draw at least two connections between the handout in this assignment and the guiding questions for the Writer’s Statement. How does this handout help you understand the Writer’s Statement better?Look at these example artist’s statements.(Links to an external site.)Focus on some of the longer examples, not the really short ones. These are examples of artist’s statements; they are similar to writer’s statements, which you will write. Pick one to discuss:Identify the one you chose.What reflective elements do you see in this artist’s statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature? The reflection handout might help you answer this question.What similarities do you see between the kinds of things the artist statement addresses and the kinds of things you are asked to address in the Writer’s Statement guiding questions?In what way does the artist address their previous work or previous experiences in their statement?An artist statement is a specific genre. You are being asked to write a “writer’s statement, which is a little different. Looking over the guiding questions again, in what ways will your Writer’s Statement be different from this artist’s statement that you just analyzed?

Create an instructional alignment between the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and differentiated instruction.

Examine “All Children Can Learn“. Then, search the web for effective, evidence-based differentiated strategies that are engaging, motivating, and address the needs of individual learners.First, provide five evidence-based strategies:Two instructional strategies (i.e., graphic organizers),Two instructional tools (e.g., technology tool, device or iPad App, Web Quests, etc.),One activity (e.g., Think-Pair-Share).Second, for the two instructional strategies you listed explain how you can alter each to address the classroom needs you designed in Weeks One and Two and how the modification is relevant to the theory of differentiation.Instructor GuidanceWeek 3IntroductionThis week you will:Create an instructional alignment between the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and differentiated instruction.Develop engaging and motivating differentiated strategies that align with Common Core State Standards.Implement instructional plans to promote opportunities for success in differentiated learning environments.Now that you’ve designed the physical layout of your classroom and have a strong idea of how you will create a positive behavior management system, it is time to get instruction started! With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, schools are holding students to higher standards and requiring more advanced proficiency in graduation requirements. This means that you, the teacher, will need to create engaging and dynamic lesson plans that align with the new standards that also promote opportunities for success in your differentiated learning environment. It is important to point out that the CCSS do not specify how to teach or how to assess; the standards only identify what students should know and be able to do (CCSS, 2014).Discussions BoardsThe Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are meant to provide educators and parents with a consistent and clear understanding of student expectations. While written to address English Language Arts and Mathematics, the CCSS address college and career ready knowledge and skills in preparing students to transition from high school to college. One example of providing multiple means of instruction through differentiation is through instructional technology. The following short video from PowerUP What Works (2013) will help to provide some information that will helpful to you.Other methods of differentiated instructional strategies can be found in Miss Taylor Brooke Stancil’s Differentiated Instructional Strategies Kit (Links to an external site.) with suggestions for all ages, grades and content area.AssignmentTo begin, this is a three-minute video that clearly explains the purpose behind the Common Core State Standards (CCSS):This video was created by the DC Public School system. As the video explains, one of the purposes of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is to scaffold ideas, starting with a foundation and then gradually becoming more challenging and abstract. Differentiated instruction has a similar conceptual framework as teachers must continually work to identify and implement strategies that work for all students.For your assignment this week you will create a blog that is written in user-friendly terms and is easily understood by other educators, parents, and community stakeholders regarding the purpose of the Common Core State Standards, the evidence-based foundation for differentiated instruction, and how the two methods align. In addition, you will include resources, references, guides, and materials that will contribute to your reading audiences’ understanding of each topic and how they can be integrated into curriculum material and instructional delivery.ReferencesCommon Core State Standards Initiative.

What do you think the legacy of the Obama administration will be with regards to federalism and intergovernmental relations?

For this chapter’s discussion, it again comes in two sections. For the first part of the discussion, briefly describe the models of Federalism, systems of authority, and the “Iron Triangle”.Next, consider the description of the expansion (or contraction) of federalism under our last few presidents – Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II. The text leaves off with what it presumes to be the legacy of George W. Bush with regards to intergovernmental relations. Since this text was constructed, the United States had eightyears of the Obama administration and four years of the Trump administration. We also saw a significant amount of friction between the federal and state levels of government over the last several months, with significant pressure from some federal authorities to alter or overturn election certifications in states, and several states attempting to thwart the vote certification of other states.What do you think the legacy of theObama administration will be with regards to federalism and intergovernmental relations? What models of authority or federalism will the Obama administration be known for? Finally,what do you predictPresident Trump’s effect on federalism will be now that his term of office has concluded (with today, perhaps fittingly, being Inauguration Day)? Provide an example or two to support your answer.
