Creating a Positive Learning
Environment That is Also Safe and
Secure
Children learn best when they feel safe, loved and valued.
In our classroom, the students will have plenty of time to choose their own
activities, they will help create our classroom rules, and be treated with
respect and kindness.

Opportunities
to Succeed
All of the activities
in our classroom are
designed for
success with built in
controls for errors
so students will be
able to more easily
self-evaluate their
work. At first, they
will require
guidance in the
process, but as time
goes by, they will be
able to more
independently
evaluate their own
outcomes.
This creates a
positive climate
where fear of failure
is replaced by
learning from
mistakes.
In doing, one knows.
CHOICE
Freedom to chose their
own work gives children
ownership of their
accomplishments.
Wood (2014) stated
“Children should exercise
agency, self-regulation,
ownership, and control,
and to direct their own
learning” (Problematising
free play and free choice.
para. 1).
1
RULES
Students will share their
thoughts and ideas about
appropriate behaviors
while at school. We will
use these brainstorming
sessions to create our list
of classroom rules.
2
RESPECT
To learn respect, it must
be role-modeled by the
adults with which they
interact on a daily basis.
Our students will learn
that they are highly
respected, loved, and
valued.

CLASSROOM INTRODUCTION MARCH 12, 2018
Preschool Center
Academic Lessons
Differentiation is when a teacher tailors
lessons to the individual student.
In our classroom lessons will be given in a
variety of ways. Many will be introduced in a
large group setting, and all lessons will be
reinforced with individual lessons using
differentiated strategies tailored to your child’s
particular needs. Afterwards, students will
practice their lessons individually or in small
groups. The groups will have members that
will enhance learning for everyone. This means
that the groups may have an advanced student
to help others better understand the concepts
presented using age-related vocabulary, or that
groups may have a struggling student that will
be mentored by peers. In this way the children
have a chance to become both student and
teacher at various times. This method is a
proven way to advance knowledge, raise self-
esteem, and increase social skills.
Differentiation can be as varied as the students
themselves. Educators must be creative,
innovative, and compassionate to these
differences when planning routines and lessons
for students.
“Flexible groupings gives teachers the means
to balance instructional demands with
student needs” (Puckett, 2013, Flexible
Grouping, para. 1).
Expectations
Recognizing that young children are active with
a need to move and talk while learning leads to
creating activities to teach specific concepts

Introduction
In order to fully understand student development, one must first understand a
child’s cognitive development. Cognitive theorist, Jean Piaget, is perhaps the most
influential researcher on child development. Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory
states that, “children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their
world” (Berk, 2013, p. 18). In his cognitive development theory, Piaget breaks down the
development into four stages: sensorimotor (birth-2 years), preoperational (2-7 years),
concrete operational (7-11 years), and formal operational (11 + years). It is important to
note that while Piaget heavily influenced research on child development, his theory has
the field divided (Berk, 2013). Another researcher of human development, Lev
2
Vygotsky, focused on sociocultural theory and how culture; the values, beliefs, customs,
and skills of a social group, is transmitted to the next generation and how these factors
also affect a child’s development (Berk, 2013). While Vygotsky agreed with Piaget that
children are active, constructive beings, Vygotsky viewed “cognitive development as a
socially mediated process, in which children depend on assistance from adults and more-
expert peers as they tackle new challenges” (Berk, 2013, p. 23). A third researcher in the
field, Urie Bronfenbrenner, developed the ecological systems theory, which views the
person “as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple
levels of the surrounding environment” (Berk, 2013, p. 24). His theory is broken into
four systems: the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, and the marcosystem.
All of this is to say, it is not simply enough to know one theory and believe we
have sufficient information to be successful educators in student’s lives. Therefore, as
practicing educators and counselors, we must stay abreast of all child development
theories so we may better serve our students’ needs.

InstructionsThe Public Archaeology Presentation invites you.docxvanesaburnand
Instructions
The Public Archaeology Presentation invites you to evaluate the public archaeology outreach of a site such as an archaeological excavation that is open to the public, an outdoor museum that is hosting or has hosted archaeological excavations, a museum with archaeological collections, etc.* Using the insight you have gained in this course about important topics in archaeology such as archaeological method and theory, subsistence, cultural patterns in prehistory, and environmental interaction, evaluate the ways in which, at the site you have chosen, the knowledge gained from archaeological excavations is being used, or is not being used, to highlight and address issues in the local, regional, or global communities. For example, current issues often addressed in public archaeology include historic preservation, economic growth, environmental degradation, looting, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education, volunteer opportunities, and more. You will present your findings to your classmates in the Week 8 Public Archaeology discussion in the form of a multimedia presentation.
Any of the sites listed above are ideal for this project. If you are considering a site and are unsure whether it would be suitable for the Public Archaeology Presentation, discuss the site with your instructor. If you are having trouble locating archaeological excavations or museums in your area, check with your local Chamber of Commerce or Tourism Bureau or the Anthropology department/professor at the nearest college or university. Some small sites have limited funding and are not able to advertise extensively.
Guidelines
Your assignment will take the form of a multimedia presentation, such as a YouTube video, blog, PowerPoint presentation, etc. Ideally, your presentation will include audio, but if this is not possible, your presentation must include sufficient text to explain your findings and conclusions.
By Wednesday of Week 8, you will submit a short introduction and a link to your presentation in a designated discussion area AND in the Assignments Folder (this allows me to provide you with private feedback and a grade). Your presentation must be shared online, but you may choose how to do so. There are many free tools out there. Check out the following website for some ideas:

.
Speak and/or write professionally using standard English. If speaking, pay attention to correct grammar and enunciation. If writing, check your spelling and grammar carefully. Poor grammar, spelling, and/or enunciation may affect your grade.
Your presentation must include a written References section in proper citation format detailing the sources you used.

InstructionsThe tools of formal analysis are the starting point .docxvanesaburnand
Instructions
The tools of formal analysis are the starting point for understanding any work of art; these tools help you realize how a work of art was made and develop a deeper appreciation of it.
Step 1: Examine
Choose a work of art (1.3.6 (Caravaggio p. 79);
or
2.2.27 (Baca p. 224);
or
4.1.13 (Rivera p. 576)).
Start your formal analysis by taking a long look at the artwork using Part I of this book, the elements and principles of art as they relate to your chosen work.
Step 2: Write
Work of Art information:
State the title, artist, date, dimensions, and medium (what it is made of).
State the name of the exhibition in which the work was displayed/ where the artwork is located
Draft a thorough, detailed description of the work of art you chose.
Be sure to:
Write your
formal analysis
. Visually analyze and describe the contents of the work of art. Apply a minimum of 5 elements
and
5 principles of art vocabulary words as you discuss the art.
Include an additional
method of analysis
that is discussed in chapter 1.10 (Learning Module 2.5) to guide your research in order to understand why the artwork was made and what its message is.
Investigate the artist’s life when the work was created. Delve into the time and place in which he or she lived.
What symbols did the artist use, and what was his or her state of mind? Recognize that some artworks are meant to convey distinct messages, which were clear to their contemporary audiences.
Step 3:
Organize your findings into a combined analysis paper
using MLA format
. Your analysis should be a minimum of 800 words.
Use reliable sources. Include your research, as well as your own opinions, to form your interpretation of the artwork.

2. What have you identified as DHS areas in need of improvement? What are its strong points?
3. Are there indications of how the DHS works with national intelligence agencies? Comment on this point, examining what may need improving regarding inter-agency relations and cooperation.
4. Summarize your findings and recommendations as an 'executive brief' (no more than 2 pages long). Your recommendations should be realistic, soundly based in current structures and capabilities (this includes strengthening those capabilities as identified). It should take into account potential restrictions of human rights, too. It should also reflect the current state of knowledge regarding homeland security and counter- / anti- terrorism. Include a statement that reflects your findings on what types of terror-related incidents are considered most likely to occur inside the U.S. (all 50 states, not just the 48 continental ones).
Thesis Statement
Write a thesis statement summarizing the main argument you will be making in your final paper. This may change as you move forward, but it will be your general road map.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Academic Lessons
Differentiation is when a teacher tailors
lessons to the individual student.
In our classroom lessons will be given in a
variety of ways. Many will be introduced in a
large group setting, and all lessons will be
4. reinforced with individual lessons using
differentiated strategies tailored to your child’s
particular needs. Afterwards, students will
practice their lessons individually or in small
groups. The groups will have members that
will enhance learning for everyone. This means
that the groups may have an advanced student
to help others better understand the concepts
presented using age-related vocabulary, or that
groups may have a struggling student that will
be mentored by peers. In this way the children
have a chance to become both student and
teacher at various times. This method is a
proven way to advance knowledge, raise self-
esteem, and increase social skills.
Differentiation can be as varied as the students
themselves. Educators must be creative,
innovative, and compassionate to these
differences when planning routines and lessons
for students.
“Flexible groupings gives teachers the means
to balance instructional demands with
student needs” (Puckett, 2013, Flexible
Grouping, para. 1).
Expectations
Recognizing that young children are active with
a need to move and talk while learning leads to
creating activities to teach specific concepts
with this in mind. A variety of open-ended,
self-directed, exploratory activities, balanced
with ones that are teacher-directed, will help to
create a playful classroom. Allowing the
5. students to freely choose in which area of the
classroom that they work is also very helpful.
The number of students in each area may be
limited, as well as how many times they may be
in any area by the day, week, or month. In this
way, the students experience all areas for
optimum developmental balance. Scaffolding,
or making an activity a bit difficult so students
must rise to a challenge, is a useful tool that the
early childhood educator can use for
differentiating lessons for individual growth
and development. Puckett (2013) stated “The
best instruction should be somewhat difficult
for students, that is, instruction that does not
meet them exactly where they are, but instead
challenges them to grow’ (Teaching Up, para 1).
Students are expected to learn to seek
knowledge by staying engaged in the process,
be kind and charitable to their classmates, seek
help when needed, and follow the ground rules
that will be set during the first week of school.
Krogh (2013) stated “If
expectations are stated
very clearly and simply,
4-year-olds will more
often than not follow
an adult’s requests”
(Behavior in Preschool
Children, para. 5).

classroom and will be ongoing at all times.
Puckett (2013) stated “Assessment informs
teachers and students on what and how
content is understood. Effective
differentiation is anchored by continual
assessment’ (Continual Assessment, para 1).
A few of the tools that will be utilized are
personal portfolios, anecdotal records, and
checklists. This information will be recorded
in the Teaching Strategies GOLD online
program to be analyzed. The analysis will
be shared with parents during our regular
parent conferences.

Social/Emotional Health
Play is an extremely important component to the social and
emotional health of preschool children.
During early childhood, children have a unique set of needs that
must be met so that all of the
necessary developmental framework is viable and available
from which to draw for creative
problem solving, critical thought, and for their social/emotional
well-being. One unique need of
this age group is the intense need to play. Renowned child
psychologist Jean Piaget believed that
young children develop their intellect through exploration.
8. Vygotsky, another respected theorist in
the field of early childhood, believed that young children
develop their intellect through social
interactions. Piaget, Vygotsky, and Dr. Montessori adhere to
what is known as the constructivist
theory of child development. Constructivists believe that young
children build knowledge through
hands-on experiences. Social interactions and exploration
though hands-on experience is simply
play for this age group. To allow young students opportunities
to play leads them to more
cooperative behaviors, and builds empathy, which is a crucial
component to the social and
emotional health of students within an encouraging, high-
quality classroom.
