    Benchmark

    Requires Lopeswrite

    Assessment Description

    Family involvement in education is proven to have a profoundly positive influence on children’s learning and overall growth and development. Effective teachers involve and educate families in various ways that support student learning in mathematics.

    For an upcoming Family Math Night that your school is hosting, each grade-level team is tasked with planning activities and creating resources for families who can attend in person. Choose a K-8 mathematics standard to focus on, specific to the grade, and then, using the “Benchmark – Family Math Night” template, plan the following activities aligned to that standard:

    · “
    **I Notice – I Wonder Activity”:** Find two images relating to the math standard or a math problem that students and families can note their observations of and ask questions about. The I Notice – I Wonder method helps students and families understand and make sense of math problems and approaches to solving them. Additionally, choose one of the images and create a mock-up of possible observations families might make.

    ·
    **Video**: Create a helpful 2-4 minute how-to video for students and families based on a K-8 standard. Using the selected mathematics standard, write an aligned learning objective. Create or find a mathematics problem aligned with the purpose. Use technology tools to creatively create a video that demonstrates, through visual communication and examples, how to apply a visual model or manipulatives and the standard algorithm to solve a problem.

    ·
    **Take-Home Math Activity**: Create a take-home math activity aligned to the same mathematics standard that families can work on together. Submit the activity, a link to the digital activity, or a picture of the activity that you created.

    In 500-750 words, describe and reflect on the following:

    · Describe how the Family Math Night you planned for your classroom will educate and engage families in math and why that is important.

    · Explain how you would collaborate with your colleagues to plan the Math Family Night effectively.  How would you ensure you work together to develop rigorous learning experiences that promote creativity, critical analysis, and multiple perspectives?

    · Describe how you would collaborate with stakeholders (students, families, communities, colleagues, and other professionals) to establish a positive and supportive learning environment and promote student growth and development through Math Family Night.

    · Explain how you designed activities that purposefully engage students in creative and critical thinking within your Math Family Night and how these skills can be applied as interdisciplinary skills across content areas.

    APA Style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

    This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric before beginning the assignment to familiarize yourself with the expectations for successful completion.

    You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

    Assessment Description

    Family involvement in education is proven to have a profoundly positive influence on children’s learning and overall growth and development. Effective teachers involve and educate families in various ways that support student learning in mathematics.

    For an upcoming Family Math Night that your school is hosting, each grade-level team is tasked with planning activities and creating resources for families who can attend in person. Choose a K-8 mathematics standard to focus on, specific to the grade, and then, using the “Benchmark – Family Math Night” template, plan the following activities aligned to that standard:

    · “
    **I Notice – I Wonder Activity”:** Find two images relating to the math standard or a math problem that students and families can note their observations of and ask questions about. The I Notice – I Wonder method helps students and families understand and make sense of math problems and approaches to solving them. Additionally, choose one of the images and create a mock-up of possible observations families might make.

    ·
    **Video**: Create a helpful 2-4 minute how-to video for students and families based on a K-8 standard. Using the selected mathematics standard, write an aligned learning objective. Create or find a mathematics problem aligned with the purpose. Use technology tools to creatively create a video that demonstrates, through visual communication and examples, how to apply a visual model or manipulatives and the standard algorithm to solve a problem.

    ·
    **Take-Home Math Activity**: Create a take-home math activity aligned to the same mathematics standard that families can work on together. Submit the activity, a link to the digital activity, or a picture of the activity that you created.

    In 500-750 words, describe and reflect on the following:

    · Describe how the Family Math Night you planned for your classroom will educate and engage families in math and why that is important.

    · Explain how you would collaborate with your colleagues to plan the Math Family Night effectively.  How would you ensure you work together to develop rigorous learning experiences that promote creativity, critical analysis, and multiple perspectives?

    · Describe how you would collaborate with stakeholders (students, families, communities, colleagues, and other professionals) to establish a positive and supportive learning environment and promote student growth and development through Math Family Night.

    · Explain how you designed activities that purposefully engage students in creative and critical thinking within your Math Family Night and how these skills can be applied as interdisciplinary skills across content areas.

    APA Style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

    This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric before beginning the assignment to familiarize yourself with the expectations for successful completion.

    You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

    Paragraph with at least 150 words each explaining the following which should include a reference for each paragraph.
    1. In an inclusive classroom, exit tickets serve as a quick, efficient way to check for student understanding at the end of a lesson. Describe how you would adapt exit tickets to meet the diverse needs of students with exceptionalities, such as autism or dyslexia. Consider how you would modify exit tickets to offer multiple means of expression and include discussion about how you would adjust the timing and structure of exit tickets to ensure that students who need more time or alternative formats can still effectively demonstrate their understanding.
    2. You have just finished a lesson and hand students a worksheet to complete silently. While the students were working independently, you decided to check your email, not realizing that your computer screen was still being projected to the class. You open an email from the principal Mrs. Russell, who is following up on a student, Rebecca Johnson, who was recently referred to receive services on an Individual Education Program (IEP). You realized what had occurred once you heard the students giggling at the screen. You quickly unplugged the computer from the projector and told the students to get back to work. What should you do next to protect the student’s privacy? Include evidence from "Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE)" and "Professional Dispositions of Learners."

    As a general education teacher working in an inclusive classroom environment, the need to differentiate assessments to provide students with exceptionalities with multiple means of action and expression is part of successful professional practice. Differentiating assessments not only accommodates diverse learning styles and abilities but also ensures that all students have equitable opportunities to demonstrate their understanding and mastery of content. By employing varied assessment strategies, teachers can more accurately gauge student learning, tailor instruction to meet individual needs, and foster a more inclusive educational experience for all learners.

    Research Area Primer due Oct 11

    Purpose

    This assignment is intended to help you learn to do the following:

    · Develop a research area primer.

    · Develop a plan for future research.

    Overview

    **Review the Assignment Expectations**

    Your primary goal is to outline the current state of scholarship in your research area in anticipation of, and as a foundation for, a later full literature review. You will be expected to demonstrate two types of reading competencies throughout the assignment.

    First, you will be expected to demonstrate source descriptive reading skills. By completing the tasks outlined below, you will read and evaluate individual sources critically and deeply. For example, in your annotations on the three most relevant sources for each theme, you will be expected to relay comprehensive summaries of the key components of these sources as well as critical evaluations of them.

    Second, you will be expected to demonstrate field descriptive reading skills. As much as the assignment encourages you to dig into particular sources, it also requires that you make meaningful connections between these sources, synthesizing them to illuminate trends and patterns in the field. For example, a source table might list and compare the populations of different studies to illuminate the patterns of a particular field.  This work will be particularly crucial to your later literature review in ENG8020.

    Prepare for the Assignment Due Oct 11

    Review these items in preparation for creating your primer:

    · The document you created in Module 6 and then revised in the
    [Module 7 Discussion: Revising Your Research Area Primer](https://franklin.instructure.com/courses/23168/assignments/596427) assignment. You will build on this document to create the Research Area Primer.

    · The research area primer resources listed in the reading & preparation for this module, including the sample template for the research area primer and examples of past students’ primers.

    **Develop the Assignment**

    Develop your Research Area Primer. It should include these parts:

    · An
    **introduction** that:

    · Outlines the rationale (i.e., the problem or practice and the problem or gap of research) that you hope to address.

    · Provides a brief overview of the central themes, trends, and patterns you have observed in the given field.

    · Introduces the research question(s) you are pursuing.

    · Outlines the central takeaway(s) from your review of the literature so far.

    · A series of
    **body sections** that investigate the particular themes that you have observed. In your discussion of at least three research themes, you must include the following content for each theme:

    · 1-2 paragraphs that describe the given theme, pattern, or trend.

    · Three annotations of the sources most pertinent to this theme.

    · A visual aid with a brief written explanation that illuminates the trend in a clear way. You are particularly encouraged to draft a source table.

    · A
    **conclusion** in which you:

    · Discuss what implications your primer has for your literature review and broader research agenda.

    · Reflect on how your understanding of academic writing and research habits has changed over the course of the unit.

    · A
    **reference list** that includes approximately 15-25 sources that you have cited or will cite in your literature review.

    · An
    **appendix** that summarizes the structure of your note-taking library and/or provides snapshots of this library.

    Writer's Journal: Doctoral Concepts

    Writer's Journal: Doctoral Concepts

    **Reflection on My Role as a Doctoral Scholar**

    Stepping into the role of a doctoral scholar marks a new chapter in my academic journey, one that will require me to elevate both my writing and research practices. Unlike previous levels of study, the doctoral role emphasizes original contributions to knowledge, which means I must approach writing not only to communicate ideas but also to shape and advance scholarly conversations. This role will require me to think critically, analyze more deeply, and synthesize information across multiple perspectives. Moving forward, my writing must demonstrate precision, clarity, and a strong evidence-based foundation. My research, in turn, must go beyond summarizing existing knowledge to identify gaps, applying rigorous methods, and drawing meaningful conclusions that add value to my field.

    **Comfort and Discomfort with the Academic Writing Genre**

    I feel comfortable with the structured and formal aspects of academic writing, particularly the reliance on evidence, logical organization, and citation practices that hold writers accountable. I also find that outlining and revising multiple drafts helps me express my ideas clearly. However, I sometimes find the density of academic language and the expectation for highly technical precision to be challenging. Writing at this level often requires striking a balance between accessibility and sophistication, a skill I know I need to develop further. Additionally, I would benefit from more practice in synthesizing complex sources and integrating multiple perspectives seamlessly into my own argument, rather than allowing my work to feel like a summary of others’ ideas.

    **Essential Resources and Tools for My Writer’s Journal**

    As I progress in my doctoral studies, I want to include resources and tools that support both the technical and conceptual aspects of my writing. Organizing these materials into a centralized journal will help ensure consistency, efficiency, and clarity in my scholarly work.

    **APA Style Resources**

    ·
    _APA Style Official Website_ – Offers authoritative guidelines for formatting, citations, and style.

    ·
    _Purdue OWL APA Guide_ – Provides practical examples and explanations to support proper application of APA rules.

    **Research Tools**

    ·
    _Google Scholar and Library Databases_ – Useful for locating peer-reviewed articles and current research in my field.

    ·
    _Citation Management Tools (Zotero or Mendeley)_ – Assist in efficiently organizing references and generating accurate citations.

    **Writing Aids**

    ·
    _Grammarly_ – Supports grammar, clarity, and readability improvements.

    ·
    _Templates and Notes_ – Especially for literature reviews, research methods, and academic vocabulary development.

    **Personal Notes**

    ·
    _Key Definitions and Terminology_ – Ensures consistent understanding and application of disciplinary concepts.

    ·
    _Outlines and Checklists_ – Provide structured guidance for critical research processes, including problem statements and source evaluation.

    These resources will allow me to remain consistent, organized, and focused on producing high-quality scholarly writing. By curating them in one place, I am creating a living journal that supports my coursework while also serving as a valuable, evolving reference throughout my doctoral program and beyond.

    **Writer's Journal: Research Sources**

    **Reflection on Building My Research Plan**

    Developing my research plan has been an enlightening experience that has demonstrated the tremendous significance of structured organization in doctoral-level research. The best note-taking approach I have found is the double-taking of source descriptive notes and field descriptive notes, described in the research plan template. Having detailed templates for individual sources, consisting of one-sentence summaries, basic research parameters (focus, rationale, scholarly context, method, findings, implications), and connections to my specific research project, helps me better engage with each text rather than passively assimilating information. Additionally, putting these notes into spreadsheet form has been a helpful way to read horizontally for insights specific to a source and vertically for trends and gaps in the literature. The most valuable sources I am finding are peer-reviewed scholarly articles from established databases, as they provide the rigorous methodology and evidence base needed to conduct doctoral-level work, while also giving clear examples of how scholars position their work within existing conversations.

    **Essential Resources and Tools for Research Excellence**

    As I develop my research skills, I am hoping to add a few database-specific resources to my journal to increase my chances of doing in-depth searches. I have found academic databases for my discipline, including Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, to be especially helpful as they provide a variety of different types of sources that are useful for different purposes in my research (Droog, 2021). I also want to incorporate the Learning Commons Search Strategy Worksheet mentioned in the research plan template because it gives a systematic approach to keyword development and database selection. These resources are important because they ensure that I am not restricting myself to surface-level or easily accessible sources, but instead engaging the depth and breadth of scholarship necessary for doctoral work. Additionally, using these specialized databases quickly will allow me to find the most recent research and not rely on outdated information that would be detrimental to my scholarly contributions.

    Moreover, I would like to include advanced citation management and collaborative tools in my research tools. In addition to simple Zotero functionality, I will use Zotero's group library function to share sources with advisors and colleagues, and the templates of Zotero notes that correspond to the format of the source descriptive note that I have established (Behera & Meher, 2022). I would also like to add links to discipline-specific style guides and methods materials that extend beyond the general APA formatting, to the subtle needs of my discipline. These tools are essential as they address the technicalities of research and the collaborative and iterative quality of doctoral scholarship. Keeping my research materials organized, shareable, and professionally formatted will allow me to better meet my scholarly community's needs. It will also help me ensure my work is of the utmost academic rigor. This systematic resource management strategy will become a basis for generating original and good-quality research during my doctoral education and beyond.

    These resources will allow me to remain consistent, organized, and focused on producing high-quality scholarly writing. By curating them in one place, I am creating a living journal that supports my coursework while also serving as a valuable, evolving reference throughout my doctoral program and beyond.

    **Reflection on Building My Research Plan**

    Developing my research plan has been an enlightening experience that has demonstrated the tremendous significance of structured organization in doctoral-level research. The best note-taking approach I have found is the double-taking of source descriptive notes and field descriptive notes, described in the research plan template. Having detailed templates for individual sources, consisting of one-sentence summaries, basic research parameters (focus, rationale, scholarly context, method, findings, implications), and connections to my specific research project, helps me better engage with each text rather than passively assimilating information. Additionally, putting these notes into spreadsheet form has been a helpful way to read horizontally for insights specific to a source and vertically for trends and gaps in the literature. The most valuable sources I am finding are peer-reviewed scholarly articles from established databases, as they provide the rigorous methodology and evidence base needed to conduct doctoral-level work, while also giving clear examples of how scholars position their work within existing conversations.

    **Essential Resources and Tools for Research Excellence**

    As I develop my research skills, I am hoping to add a few database-specific resources to my journal to increase my chances of doing in-depth searches. I have found academic databases for my discipline, including Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, to be especially helpful as they provide a variety of different types of sources that are useful for different purposes in my research (Droog, 2021). I also want to incorporate the Learning Commons Search Strategy Worksheet mentioned in the research plan template because it gives a systematic approach to keyword development and database selection. These resources are important because they ensure that I am not restricting myself to surface-level or easily accessible sources, but instead engaging the depth and breadth of scholarship necessary for doctoral work. Additionally, using these specialized databases quickly will allow me to find the most recent research and not rely on outdated information that would be detrimental to my scholarly contributions.

    Moreover, I would like to include advanced citation management and collaborative tools in my research tools. In addition to simple Zotero functionality, I will use Zotero's group library function to share sources with advisors and colleagues, and the templates of Zotero notes that correspond to the format of the source descriptive note that I have established (Behera & Meher, 2022). I would also like to add links to discipline-specific style guides and methods materials that extend beyond the general APA formatting, to the subtle needs of my discipline. These tools are essential as they address the technicalities of research and the collaborative and iterative quality of doctoral scholarship. Keeping my research materials organized, shareable, and professionally formatted will allow me to better meet my scholarly community's needs. It will also help me ensure my work is of the utmost academic rigor. This systematic resource management strategy will become a basis for generating original and good-quality research during my doctoral education and beyond.
