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.

Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization?

March 21, 2010, was not EBP?s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach ?grew up? and left home to take on the world.
When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.
You will consider this adoption in the post. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.
To Prepare:

Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
Choose a professional healthcare organization?s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

 

Write a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization?s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization?s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples. Reference 3 scholarly citations

Use the following resources to help you complete this assignment:

David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage?

Follow the media scenario, Riverbend City: Case Scenarios Part 1, for the client you have selected for the remaining assignments in Units 5 and 9. You have explored the 6 dimensions of the ASAM criteria in the media piece and in this unit’s studies.
