How do you cultivate an understanding of the larger community that your ELLs belong to in order to develop an asset-based perspective? How do you support other teachers and staff in developing an asset-based approach to teaching and working with ELLs?
Assessment Description
An asset-based approach to teaching focuses on the strengths of students and recognizes they come to the learning process with knowledge, backgrounds, and experiences that can contribute to their continued learning and growth. Teachers who take the time to gather information on their ELLs and tap into their funds of knowledge can design effective instruction that builds on their rich cultural and linguistic resources.
Part 1: Mentor InterviewInterview your mentor teacher about how information is gathered on ELLs and used to leverage their cultural and linguistic assets. Include the following in your interview:
What are examples of cultural and linguistic assets or funds of knowledge your ELLs possess?
How do you collect ELL student data and information related to their knowledge, backgrounds, experiences, and interests? What type of student data/information do you have access to when you have a new student that is an ELL? How might student data/information differ based on special population or ELL typology (e.g., newcomer, student with limited or interrupted formal education, refugee, long-term English learner)?
What laws or special considerations for your state or school district must you adhere to regarding the collection and use of student data/information?
What are examples of how you use ELL student data/information in your classroom to build on the background knowledge of your ELLs?
How do you use multicultural or multilingual resources in your classroom to connect ELLs to the curriculum and what benefits have you seen from their use?
How do you cultivate an understanding of the larger community that your ELLs belong to in order to develop an asset-based perspective?
How do you support other teachers and staff in developing an asset-based approach to teaching and working with ELLs?
Part 2: Inventory Tool and Mentor Discussion
With your mentor, review and identify inventory tools for evaluating culturally responsive curriculum or multicultural resources in a classroom or school library (e.g., textbook Figure 6.6 Assessing Multicultural Resources Tool, Culturally Responsive Curriculum Scorecard in topic Resources, a tool found online or provided by your mentor teacher).
Collaborate with your mentor to select and complete an inventory tool and discuss areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in ensuring the curriculum is culturally responsive or multicultural resources in the classroom or school are accessible to students.
Part 3: Reflection
, reflect on your mentor interview and the time spent evaluating resources in collaboration with your mentor teacher. Include the following in your reflection:
How you plan to collect and use student data and background information to learn about the personal, cultural, and linguistic assets of your ELLs and tap into their funds of knowledge.
Key criteria you will look for to ensure curriculum or resources are culturally responsive and leverage the backgrounds of ELLs in your classroom/school.

Review the framework for conceptualizing research questions (page 68). Based on your academic major, explain what research topics would be of interest to you and your peers/colleagues
Part 1: Review the framework for conceptualizing research questions (page 68). Based on your academic major, explain what research topics would be of interest to you and your peers/colleagues.Part 2: A hypothesis is a researchers prediction of the research findings, a statement of the researchers expectations about the relations among the variables in the research topic. Create examples of (1) directional, (2) non-directional, and (3) null hypothesis statements. You will have three different examples. You can use hypotheses relating to your discipline.
A colleague from another country has limited English-speaking skills and does not comprehend the group task. Additionally, this colleague has the habit of giving gifts to business associates at the end of projects. Gift-giving is an expected part of business etiquette in her culture. How do you deal with these issues to ensure the success of the group? What criteria would you set early on in the process?
For the initial post, address one (1) of the following:
Scenario 1: A colleague from another country has limited English-speaking skills and does not comprehend the group task. Additionally, this colleague has the habit of giving gifts to business associates at the end of projects. Gift-giving is an expected part of business etiquette in her culture. How do you deal with these issues to ensure the success of the group? What criteria would you set early on in the process? Please reference the textbook and an outside source as you attend to the questions for this scenario.
Scenario 2: Your manager asks you to take on a new project that you think you could take on by yourself. He suggests that you form a task group with 15-20 members, which you think is too much. One of the members he recommends adding to the team is John. This gives you additional concern because you think John has had hidden agendas in the past. Even though you think you can do this on your own, how is a group decision different from an individual decision? How can you convince your manager that a smaller group would be better? How do you deal with John if your manager insists on him being in the group? Please reference the textbook and an outside source as you attend to the questions for this scenario.

Scenario:
An 83-year-old resident of a skilled nursing facility presents to the emergency department with generalized edema of extremities and abdomen. History obtained from staff reveals the patient has a history of malabsorption syndrome and difficulty eating due to a lack of dentures. The patient has been diagnosed with protein malnutrition.
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.
What might be a characteristic influencing your response?
The scenario reflects this to be an unidentified race, so if this patient was African American would this create characteristics influenced by race? It may or may not just support your point with a citation.
In this elderly female, there are several contributing factors for her presenting with these symptoms.
If you do not find any genetic factors contributing, provide a citation supporting this. As a student, be sure to support your points until you become the expert.
