Module 11 Assessment

Complete and Submit Final Project. FINAL PROJECT DUE ON 04/25/2021.

Conclusion: Use your outline to draft your Conclusion.
Read throughs
a) Flow: Read your paper for flow. Does it make sense? Have you included transition sentences to help your reader? (Some people find it helpful to read their written work out loud to themselves.)
b) Mechanics: Read your paper as an editor. You are looking for punctuation errors, spelling issues, sentence length, etc.
c) APA: Return to the APA site that you found last week. Use it to review your paper, noting spacing, font-size, fonts to be used, pagination, headings, in-text citations, bibliography, etc. etc. etc.
Bibliography

Read your paper again and make sure that every in-text citation that you use has a corresponding complete reference in your bibliography. Use APA to format your bibliography.

Final Version.
a) Remove the questions/prompts that you inserted for your working draft. It is really bush league to have these in your final paper. Be sure that headings remain to guide your reader.
b) Now, create one documentthat includes your 8-10 page paper, video observation notes, and the one-page description of your observation.

For your final project you will examine one High Leverage Practice (HLP) in depth and discuss it in a paper of 8-10 pages in length using APA format.
You will use at least three differentacademic resources that have researched this HLP to support your ideas.
First, you will read about what an HLP is, then select one HLP to focus on.
Once you have done that you will observe its use in a video found on the website below.
After you have completed the observation, you will write an analysis of the HLP.
Your final paper will include a completed observation protocol (from screening the video), a brief analysis of that video, and a paper of 8-10 pages that explores this HLP addressing the topics detailed below. Paper count includes your one-page Video observation but does not include the title page or bibliography, or observation protocol (your notes).

Read the HLP Introduction document(s) on Canvas.
Visit Module 11: HLP Videosto find videos of teachers implementing HLPs. Choose one academic intervention, one HLP to focus on.
Using the Video Observationform that you have downloaded from Canvas, watch the video and complete an observation of the HLP in use. You may need to watch the video more than once. Using your observation notes, transfer your notes into a one-page narrative describing what you observed.
Now you are going to research this HLP in order to answer these questions in a paper of 8-10 pages using academic references to support your ideas. The HLP in-depth document is a good place for you to start your research. You must include at least three differentacademic articles that have researched this HLP practice to support your ideas.
Introduction:Describe your HLP and include when it is appropriate to use this HLP. Provide at least one academic reference to support your discussion.
Implications:Discuss the cultural and linguistic issues involved in implementing this strategy. Are there gender considerations? Age? Setting? Provide at least one academic reference that has examined these implications for this strategy.
Challenges:Explore the challenges to implementing this HLP. They may be structural, human, and/or other resources that impede or support its use. Provide one academic reference that has reviewed the challenges to implementing this HLP.
Effectiveness: Present the way in which the teacher knows that this HLP is working. Are there recommended ways in which to track these changes? Provide at least one academic reference that has researched the effectiveness of this intervention.
Conclusion: Summarize the HLP that you have examined in one or two paragraphs. Now provide suggestions for its implementation to other teachers. Finally, discuss whether you would use this HLP and the aspects of it that appeal or repel you from implementing it in your classroom now or in the future.

Abstract: Writing can be a powerful tool for thinking and learning. Journaling is one form of writing that is a commonly used learning tool in many classrooms. Children use journals to record personal experiences; explore reactions and interpretations to reading and videos; or record, analyze, or enhance information about literature or other subject areas. This article examines how to scaffold journal writing instruction for students with learning disabilities within a diagnostic teaching cycle by establishing learning outcomes, planning assessment, planning instruction, implementing instruction, and analyzing individual student learning. Example lessons, differentiation strategies, scoring guides, and student samples are provided.

Abstract: This article provides a case study of a teacher-implemented reading comprehension program for students at risk for learning disabilities. Through this experience, insights are provided, in practitioner-friendly language, as to potential barriers that may prevent positive student outcomes, as well as suggestions for providing effective reading instruction.
