Learning is intentional and contextual, and it involves developing systems and structures that not only allow but also encourage organization members to learn and grow together –to develop “communities of practice.”
-Preskill and Torres
The idea of a subject that calls to us is more than metaphor. In the community of truth, the knower is not the only active agent –the subject itself participates in the dialectic of knowing...geologists are people who hear rocks speak, historians are people who hear the voices of the long dead, writers are people who hear the music of words. The things of the world call to us, and we are drawn to them –each of us to different things, as each is drawn to different friends.
--Parker J. Palmer
Teaching is a complex, relational, and creative event. When I teach, I am simultaneously involved in several dynamic relations: with myself, with my everyday world, with my subject matter, and with my students. I cannot really teach if I am not engaged with my students or if my students are not involved with me.
--Carol S. Becker
The relationship between our physical constraints and the assertion of our freedom is not a 'problem' requiring a solution. It is simply the way human beings are. Our condition is to be ambiguous to the core, and our task is to learn to manage the movement and uncertainty in our existence, not banish it...the ambiguous human condition means tirelessly trying to take control of things. We have to do two near-impossible things at once: understand ourselves as limited by circumstances, and yet continue to pursue our projects as though we are truly in control.
--Sarah Bakewell
Course Description
Welcome to EDST 1100: “Situated Learning.” As described in the university calendar, the aims of this seminar are as follows:
“This course is framed around situated learning theories in relation to the provisioning of educational experiences in a variety of contexts (e.g., early familial experiences, formal educational experiences, cultural educational experiences, employment educational experiences). Students are first introduced to the major principles of families of learning theories (e.g., behaviourism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism). This introduction is followed by in-depth study of situated learning theory drawing from Lave and Wenger (1991) a seminal text in the field. Students engage in exploring exemplars of situated learning drawing from theory to understand the factors at play in the exemplars because, as situated learning theory would suggest, the representations of situated learning theory must be situated in relation to reference points. Given any particular learning engagement’s situational parameters, stu.

Why This Course is Important
The subject matter in this course is important because travel and tourism is the number one industry in the world. It is essential to be aware of its importance globally and the implications concerning environmental, economic, and social issues (often referred to as the “triple bottom line”).
There is also much to learn in this course that applies to your own lives. Travel offers us adventure, education, and enjoyment. As we learn about other cultures we also learn more about ourselves; and we learn tolerance. We learn to extend compassion to help others less fortunate than we are. These are primary messages in our reading, Mountains Beyond Mountains.
On a broad scale, tourism offers hope for global peace as we learn more about the beauty and value of diverse cultures and learn to appreciate them through first hand experience. Tourism has also been promoted as a conservation tool as travelers gain global environmental awareness. Tourism offers hope for global stewardship. What larger issues are there than world peace and environmental sustainability? Tourism can contribute to both of these.
So this subject is relevant as the number one industry in the world, in our own personal lives, and in a larger context concerning global peace and environmental stewardship.
SDSU General Catalog: Concepts, definitions, and measures of essential cultural components of tourism. Integrated view of interrelated socio-cultural tourism issues with an understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, conscientious students will be able to:
1. Synthesize the major theories and concepts related to cross-cultural behavior in tourism.
2. Explain major differences between various cultures and their influence on tourist and host social behavior. (Codes of cultural behavior and social etiquette.)
3. Consider how our actions can contribute to world peace and stewardship through our travel choices.
4. Determine how cultural differences influence tourist perceptions and satisfaction.
5. Develop greater appreciation and tolerance for various cultural frames of reference.
6. Consider increased empathy for those from less fortunate cultural backgrounds.
7. Generate interest in living and traveling in ways that promote cultural understanding and sustainability.

Content with your Content? Why Teach Global Issues in ELT?Susan Hillyard
The first part of this paper aims to examine the concept of the globalised world from a number of different angles and poses questions related to the relevance and validity of the curriculum currently presented to EFL students. A number of methodological suggestions related to the field of education with a big E will be observed such as motivation, metacognition, learner autonomy, use of widely accessible resources and “The University of Life”. Thus the role of the teacher in ELT will shift towards that of faclitator and educator, raising awareness in self and in students of the need to become global citizens who are lifelong learners and putting the learner at the centre of the educational process. The second part of this paper examines the overriding factor of using English as a global language to examine global issues through the practice of critical, comparative and creative thinking skills. The framework for the paper is based on Robert Fisher’s thinking skills language learning model.

According to the dictionary, culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities and habits of the individuals in these groups. The capacity building series article “Culturally Responsive Pedagogy” explains that culture goes beyond the understanding of ethnicity, race and faith. In regards to teaching and learning, it is essential that teachers understand the similarities and differences about their students various social identities. Gay explains that when academic knowledge and skills are situated within the lived experiences and frames of reference of students, they are more personal and meaningful, have higher interest appeal and are learned more easily and thoroughly (pg. 106). As humans, our identities play a huge role in our overall mood. When we feel unaccepted or neglected, we tend to shut down. It is essential to the learning process that all students are able to identify with their cultures.
Escudera explains that cultural competence requires that teachers understand their own cultural backgrounds and actively learn about those of their students (2019). Teachers must also take the time to truly learn and understand the different cultural backgrounds of their students. This will allow students to identify with what is being taught and will result in a more engaged group of students. Real learning takes place when students around able to connect with what is being taught. Students and teachers need to coexist. Teachers who are reluctant about obtaining knowledge about culture or incorporating culture into their classrooms may bring their own bias based on their own culture; knowingly or unknowingly.
Culturally responsive teaching refers to using the cultural characteristics, experiences and perspectives of ethnically diverse students as conduits for teaching (Gay, 2001). In culturally responsive classrooms, teachers need to develop knowledge about cultural diversity, design culturally relevant curricula, demonstrate cultural caring, build a learning community, have cross-cultural communications, and inclu.

Implementing Developmentally Appropriate Learning Experiences for Secondary S...iosrjce
Teacher preparation emphasizes application of foundational issues anchored in psychological,
sociological and philosophical underpinnings. With such knowledge, teachers are expected to effectively
organise the learning experiences of children accordingly. This study, therefore, sought to find out to what
extend in-service teachers were able to organise learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate.
The mixed methods approach guided this study, as it was informed by both the positivist and interpretivist
paradigms which acted as lenses through which we viewed this study. Questionnaires, interviews and class
observations were the methods used as data collecting tools. Twenty participants (13 females, 7 males), were
purposively selected from Gweru urban secondary schools of Zimbabwe. It was noted that teachers are not able
to implement Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) for various reasons ranging from heavy teaching
loads, big classes, low teaching motivation, inadequate DAP knowledge among others. In the midst of other
recommendations, it was highlighted that parents were to meaningfully interact with schools to bridge the gap
between the home and the school, notwithstanding challenges facing the teacher which require the urgency
which cannot be gainsaid.

Data within the United States is processed based on four assessments. The assessments are reading, math, science, and other subjects. They are based on 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. They are also broken up into different ethnic groups. There are a lot of data that is alarming within the U.S. Data is based on household characteristics, family and peer influences, and student achievement. Also in this chapter it reaches on the education reform movement. Global forces and the specific causes that are concerning within the U.S. education system. What are the causes of failure within the U.S. school system and what changes can be implemented to improve the rapid downfall of our education system.
When all of the assessments were implemented on the different groups that provided data that broke up the groups that is when I feel our education system had been broken. Ways of instruction as well as curriculum has not changed much, however, all of the testing data is what has changed and the ways that the data is being implemented. Schools have become all about the numbers instead of the importance of what is being taught to our children. If the U.S. school systems were not all about the numbers and teaching our children how to read and write I feel that our schools would be more successful in all the data assessments that are being implemented. The problem is that special attention is given to achievement gaps among ethnic and economic groups instead of teaching everyone the same way that was taught years and years ago. With all the changes within the school systems and how they are wanting teachers to teach their children has caused a lot of confusion as well as stress upon the teachers as well as the children.

Module 1: The Brain
Below are some student examples that are excellent blog posts for the first two prompts in Module 1
(The Brain). The goal for the discussion posts is to engage in the module materials directly and explore
some of the questions and issues in each module more deeply. The posts are very important for your
learning. Below you will find comments to help you understand how these students met the rubric
requirements. The rubric for blog posts is posted in the end of this document and is in the course
syllabus.
Blog Post # 1:
● Describe a time when you engaged in something adults might consider risky and/or thoughtless:
● How old were you?
● Why did you do it?
● What were you thinking at the time?
Think back to the article on risk-taking you read and to the video you watched on the teen brain. What
connections can you make between the lecture, the article, and/or the video?
Growing up, my family would take annual trips to the river in Laughlin, Nevada. We
would go with our family friends who had kids with a wide range of ages. I was 13 years
old at the time within the middle age range. A big activity at the river is jumping off of
rocks. My parents did not want my sisters and me to engage in this activity. During one
of the annual trips, I joined the older teenagers on a boat ride to the “jumping rock.”
Depending on how much risk they wanted to take, there are different levels for people
to jump off of. All of the older teens were jumping off of the highest level. I decided to
join the older teens and jump from the tallest rock. At the time, I wanted to do it
because all of the older teenagers were doing it. I wanted to be like them. This was not
an impulsive decision. I had thought about doing this activity the whole trip and decided
to go on the boat ride, knowing they were going to jump off the tallest rock. The article,
“Beautiful Brains,” explains, “Seeking sensation isn’t necessarily impulsive. You might
plan a sensation-seeking experience- a skydive or a fast car…” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 49).
By jumping off the rock with them, I thought this would change their view of me as an
older and more mature teenager. When they changed their opinion about me, it would
allow me to hang out with them all the time. I was taking more risks because I would get
a higher reward. This relates to the article, “Beautiful Brains,” which states, “Teens take
more risks not because they don’t understand the dangers but because they weigh risk
versus reward differently. In situations where risk can get them something they want,
they value the reward more heavily than adults do” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 54). By jumping off
the tallest rock, it gave me the reward of spending more time with the older teenagers.
If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been
penalized for not.

If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been
penalized for not.

EDUC 6733 Action Research for Educators
Reading Literacy
Draft
Part A
The context of the classroom setting
In the first section of this action research project I will address the context of classroom setting. Although, it is as important as the teaching itself and understand it is essential in creating learning environments in which every student can thrive. According to Pallardy, context is a classroom’s characteristics such as the composition of the student body, classroom structures and resources. Furthermore, by establishing that context is dependent on student learning we are able to come up with an action research question that will be discussed in this essay. The action research will be on the reading workshop; Is motivation among students a big challenge when it comes to reading literacy?
In addition, a reading workshop is one way to structure a class. Developing strong reading skills in students is one of the key goals in an educational program. Reading workshops encourages the students to become better readers. To accommodate the children’s variability, I assess the children through instructing them to write journals on what they have read and giving them vocabulary tests on that week’s reading. This helps when it comes to identifying student with a reading problem and can be able to tailor lessons to individuals.
One of the concerns that I have experienced in this classroom setting of reading workshops is children’s motivation to read books that they have selected. Their ability to choose the right book and their commitment to stay with the book until they finished is also a concern when it comes to their motivation when reading books. These findings were drawn from the data of the journals and vocabulary test that I had assigned to them. The journals that they wrote the boys in the class performed poorly more than the girls. There is also the fact that the boys in the class didn’t find satisfaction in reading unlike the girls. The boys also were not reading books of their own accord unlike the girls in the class who spent hours with ‘series’ books and other chapter books.
The classroom has 24 students; 52% are boys and 48% are girls. The last two tests on vocabulary showed that girls performed more than the boys. Also, the literature review was discouraging: the boys were lagging the girls. This concerns may be a product of the independent reading workshop and of the freedom of children to choose their own books during that session.
Through observation and interaction with the boys that excelled in the literature reviews I noted that families had a strong impact and the boys that saw their fathers at home read were more likely to choose to read. Therefore, having spoken with the school administration I invited some of the male role models for the boys. I invited teachers, some of their fathers, other school male employees to visit the class and talk about their reading habits. Some of them were frank about their discovery about.

For this assignment, you will identify forms of and applications for technology for use in a middle school social studies classroom. You will be required to describe the general applications of these technologies, specific applied activities in the general social studies arena, and provide an evaluation.Learning Objective
You will develop a portfolio of technologies that could be used in a middle school social studies classroom, identifying general uses, aligned appropriate national social studies standards, potential activities, and good and bad points to that technology’s use.Assignment Process
1. Select 10 technologies (defined below) that can be used in an educational setting/environment for each of the categories listed below. Notice that I did not say educational or instructional technologies. This is to not restrict you to that search parameter, but rather to allow you to explore critically any technology that might have a pedagogical use. Select technologies representing:
a. Hardware devices
b. Business/productivity software (i.e., Microsoft Office)
c. Web-based technologies (delivered via the Internet)
d. Multimedia software (audio, video, graphical)
e. Games/entertainment
2. Then review each technology answering the following questions in 1–2 paragraphs for each question (best recorded in a word-processing program like Microsoft Word as a multi-page document). Questions to answer include:
a. What are the general functions and purposes of this technology?
b. What types of social studies objectives/goals could be met by this technology and how? Please relate to an NCSS main theme (or more than 1 if appropriate).
c. What, in your opinion, are the good and bad points of using this technology in a pedagogical setting? Consider this a risk analysis.

EDUC 364 The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling A dialecti.docxtidwellveronique
EDUC 364: The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling
A dialectical journal is one in which you engage in conversation with the text. This involves pulling quotes from the text, and providing your reaction, thoughts, analysis and/or questions about what you’ve read. When reading a chapter from Spring(chapter2 and 3), choose 3-5 short passages/selections from each assigned chapter on which to reflect. See the example below. You can format your DJ in a chart format (see next page for template), or you can format it simply as a question/answer format like below. The goal is to use the DJ to think through your reactions and prepare for discussion. Submit your DJ to Cougar Courses prior to class, and if you don’t have your computer with you in class, print it out so you have it with you for a class discussion
Example
Quote: “Faced with the world’s migration of people’s, some countries, such as Singapore, have maintained cultural pluralism by providing public schools that use the child’s home language and reflect the cultural values of the child’s home. Through the use of educational methods that promote cultural pluralism, Singapore has been able to maintain Chinese, Malay, and Indian cultures and languages. Therefore, there have been different educational approaches to the intersection of cultures resulting from globalization...Minority cultures in the United State have primarily experienced cultural genocide, deculturalization, and denial of education. Immigrant groups have mostly experienced assimilation and hybridity.” (Chapter 1).
Response: This is always what I come back to when thinking about American education. We could have chosen a different path, a different approach educating the various groups of children that have come through the school system. But instead of seeing schooling primarily as a democratizing tool, the founders and those in government who came after them saw schooling as a tool for deculturalization, for imposing hegemony. What is most frustrating is how to tease out how our current system still contains the legacy of those oppressive institutional choices. Seeing those remnants for what they are--clearly--is the only way to change the system to truly benefit all kids.

EDUC 144 Writing Tips The writing assignments in this cla.docxtidwellveronique
EDUC 144 Writing Tips
The writing assignments in this class require students to engage in critical thinking and analysis,
producing papers that go beyond simple summaries of course readings by utilizing concepts, ideas, and
findings in course readings to critically analyze contemporary schooling and academic achievement in
the United States. Below is a list of suggestions to help you write strong papers that are critical and
analytical.
The introductory paragraph should briefly mention the topic and purpose/focus of your paper and state
your thesis in clear, specific terms (i.e. “In this paper, I will argue…” or “I will contend...,” or “I will
demonstrate…”).
Each paragraph in the body of the paper should be tightly organized around one main idea. Each
paragraph should build on previous ones and provide concrete examples/findings from the week’s
readings that serve as data that support your analysis, or examples from your own experiences and
observations of schooling that serve as evidence in support of your analysis. If you are drawing on a
specific theoretical concept(s) or idea(s) in your analysis, remember to clearly define and explain the
concept(s) or idea(s) before using that concept(s) or idea(s) to investigate and analyze particular aspects
of contemporary schooling.
The concluding paragraph needs to restate the thesis and main points addressed in the paper.
Sometimes writers do not know what their argument is until they have reached the end of the paper—or
the thesis has changed by the end. If either of these happens to you, be sure to put your thesis in the first
paragraph as well and/or make sure that you are making the same argument throughout the paper.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the paragraph:
Make sure your comments are relevant to the topic at hand: one way to do this is to make an outline of
each paragraph’s main idea; each one should clearly relate to the topic and focus/purpose or thesis of
your paper. It is writer’s responsibility to select relevant concepts or ideas, examples of research
findings from the week’s readings, and/or personal experiences and observations that relate directly to
the topic and purpose/focus of the paper. It is not appropriate to expect the reader to do this instead.
Remember, examples/research findings and personal experiences and observations are not “obviously”
evidence in support of your analysis until you explicitly explain how these examples/findings/
experiences/observations support the claims in your analysis.
Make sure each paragraph’s main idea is clearly connected to your thesis.
*Smoothly transition between paragraphs: connect first line of new paragraph with main idea of
previous paragraph.
*Stick to the facts at hand—do not overstate your case.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the sentence:
*Tighten sentence structure: combine sentences when possible by eliminating redundant information.
*Employ p.

Curriculum lies at the heart of educational policies and practices.
They are are highly political documents which convey ideological positions about
the type of education that should be given in different cultural contexts and the
citizenship values that can be shared by the citizen of a state (Apple, 2004).
Each society has its own values and beliefs which they want to be translated into
educational objectives via the curriculum.
“Curriculum is a comprehensive plan for an educational programme/institute/
course to offer new or improved manpower to accomplish the rising needs of a
dynamic society” (Pillai, 2015).

Curriculum development is defined as the process which is planned, purposeful,
progressive, and systematic in order to create positive improvements in the
educational system.
The curriculum is affected by any changes or developments that affect society
(Alvior, 2014).
It needs to correspond to those changes but at the same time to respect all
people despite of gender, ethnicity, disability, religion etc. (Symeonidou and

Scenario Instructions
Scenario 2: Teaching communication skills
Scenario assignments are designed to help the candidate synthesize and apply course content to real-world situations involving individuals with ASD. In Scenario #2, candidates will create a lesson plan for a pre-K student with autism who has communication needs.
Scenario: You are a pre-K teacher for a 4-year-old student with autism named Johnsaan. Johnsaan has difficulty asking for help when he needs something. Instead of asking for help using words, he grunts and waves his hands until he gets a response and engages in challenging behaviors. As Johnsaan's teacher, you need to teach him to use words to ask for help, which should decrease his challenging behavior. What components need to be included in your lesson plan?
Assignment: Drawing on the lesson planning and delivery techniques discussed in Chapter 5, create a lesson plan that could be used to teach Johnsaan to ask for help. Be sure your lesson plan includes the 5 major components of a lesson plan, outlined in Chapter 5, that will enhance your student's ability to express himself when he needs help. The final assignment should be a completed lesson plan, approximately 2 pages (Times New Roman, 12-point font) and an additional 1-page candidate reflection.
Step 1: Identify the main components of the lesson including the goal and/or objective, specific information related to the conditions for responding, types of reinforcers and reinforcement schedule, mastery criteria and evaluation methods.
Step 2: Develop a formal lesson incorporating at least 1 specified presentation style outlined in Chapter 5: Direct Instruction (DI), Discreet Trial Training (DTT), Milieu Teaching (MU), Grouping, or Embedded ABA Teaching Strategies. The formal lesson plan must include an opportunity for guided practice and independent practice. Opportunities for generalization and maintenance should be outlined.
Step 3: Reflect upon the lesson planning process. The reflection should integrate course materials and a biblical world-view, including at least 2 in-text citations and reference list following APA formatting. The following considerations should be addressed within the reflection:
· Rationale for the identification of selected target skill and presentation style(s).
· Review of the lesson planning process including consideration of pre-requisite skills and next steps after lesson implementation.
· Identification of possible challenges with implementation and how these potential challenges will be addressed prior to and during instruction.

Chapter 2: The Interest of the SS in the
Monumental Building Economy
As Albert Speer has written, the SS never efficiently maximized its use of forced labor
even after 1942 when forced-labor operations were made a key part of centralized
government wartime economic policy.1 But such a retrospective assessment misrepresents
a crucial point: while SS economic managers and on-site camp administrations never
efficiently used their forced-labor population, this population nevertheless was coerced
into functioning productively. The SS did not temper the punitive and brutal goal of the
camps in suppressing supposed enemies of the Party and state in order to address the
individual needs of the forced-laborer to make him more efficient. Rather, it was through
the day-to-day oppression of individual prisoners that the productive goals of SS
administrators came together with the punitive initiatives of the on-site camp personnel.
But for what end were productivity and punishment combined? From the founding
of major forced-labor operations in 1938 until their reorientation to the armaments industry
in 1942–3, the predominant answer to this question is: to provide materials for the
monumental building economy. The building economy in general was one of the most
dynamic sectors of growth in National Socialist Germany. Monumental projects favored
by Hitler provided a high-profile symbolic focus to contemporary discussions concerning
the strength of the German economy. As one of Hitler’s major peacetime initiatives, the
reconstruction of specific cities on a massive scale and with particular aesthetic materials
(above all, stone) helped revive par.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Learning is intentional and contextual, and it involves
developing systems and structures that not only allow but also
encourage organization members to learn and grow together –to
develop “communities of practice.”
-Preskill and Torres
The idea of a subject that calls to us is more than metaphor. In
the community of truth, the knower is not the only active agent
–the subject itself participates in the dialectic of
knowing...geologists are people who hear rocks speak,
historians are people who hear the voices of the long dead,
writers are people who hear the music of words. The things of
the world call to us, and we are drawn to them –each of us to
different things, as each is drawn to different friends.
2. --Parker J. Palmer
Teaching is a complex, relational, and creative event. When I
teach, I am simultaneously involved in several dynamic
relations: with myself, with my everyday world, with my
subject matter, and with my students. I cannot really teach if I
am not engaged with my students or if my students are not
involved with me.
--Carol S. Becker
The relationship between our physical constraints and the
assertion of our freedom is not a 'problem' requiring a solution.
It is simply the way human beings are. Our condition is to be
ambiguous to the core, and our task is to learn to manage the
movement and uncertainty in our existence, not banish it...the
ambiguous human condition means tirelessly trying to take
control of things. We have to do two near-impossible things at
once: understand ourselves as limited by circumstances, and yet
continue to pursue our projects as though we are truly in
control.
--Sarah Bakewell
Course Description
Welcome to EDST 1100: “Situated Learning.” As described in
3. the university calendar, the aims of this seminar are as follows:
“This course is framed around situated learning theories in
relation to the provisioning of educational experiences in a
variety of contexts (e.g., early familial experiences, formal
educational experiences, cultural educational experiences,
employment educational experiences). Students are first
introduced to the major principles of families of learning
theories (e.g., behaviourism, cognitivism, social learning
theory, social constructivism). This introduction is followed by
in-depth study of situated learning theory drawing from Lave
and Wenger (1991) a seminal text in the field. Students engage
in exploring exemplars of situated learning drawing from theory
to understand the factors at play in the exemplars because, as
situated learning theory would suggest, the representations of
situated learning theory must be situated in relation to reference
points. Given any particular learning engagement’s situational
parameters, students examine the “teacher’s” role in that
engagement and how learning can be facilitated in that
situation. In addition, students are provided with opportunities
to develop frameworks to communicate to others about the
nature of situated learning.”
The work of this seminar stems from the questions evolving
from the idea that education is a situated practice: it exists as
part of physical and historical worlds that were created prior to
any given moment of practice, and that any of the actors within
the educational setting were not participants in choosing the
scripted worlds in which they learn and teach. In such an
equation of ambiguity, what freedom is possible? How does
situational relation weave through the very fabric of the project
of education? In what ways are teaching and learning possible?
What do the situated realities of teaching do to the students and
teachers, administrators and other invested parties who live
their lives in relation to the educational? How does education
go beyond the classroom? (We might work toward a much larger
4. definition of what education is rather than confining it to the
work of schooling, curriculum and classroom.) In what ways is
both existential and practical education co-created –and by
whom is it co-created? What is the educational –or the
educated-- subject? What role does education play in identity,
and vice versa? Where is the play of the personal and the
psychic reality of the emotional world within the continuum of
education? What legacies might we leave for future generations
as we created the situated worlds into which they will be born?
Working from traditional models of education, the course
will examine the “situations” of education –internal and
external-- and look at how communities of practice in all sorts
of educational settings work to repress, understand, alter and
work within the ambiguity of the phenomenological world.
Using articles, films, short stories, personal essays and a novel,
we will look at how learners and teachers exchange and move
between categories, how life might be seen as a search for
curriculum, and how we make meaning –and perhaps a sense of
identity, individuality and freedom-- from the learnings we do –
and those we resist-- from the larger world in which we live.
The course looks to define the delicate balance of learner,
teacher, subject, world –and a reality in which all of these co-
exist.
Regular attendance and participation are mandatory. Please
notify me as soon as possible if you are unable to attend class.
Teacher candidates are responsible for catching up on notes,
discussions and assignments that have been missed.
Unexcused/unexplained absences and/or lateness may result in a
lowering of your grade. Please make every effort to be in class
for your scheduled presentations –and keep in mind that others
have put a great deal of work into their presentations as well.
Active involvement in the seminar is also compulsory; students
are expected to contribute in creating a safe, respectful,
professional and engaging literary community. Furthermore, it
is the responsibility of everyone in the class to act in a
5. reflective, collaborative and supportive manner as we make
links between our university and practicum experiences, our
seminar work and our lives.
Students are expected to arrive punctually for class, with
course readings completed. Projects, group presentations and
written assignments must be handed in on time. Clarity and
precision of thought are required for all written work and
correct grammar and punctuation are expected. Appropriate
reference must be included and documented, refer to the York
University style guides at
http://info.library.yorku.ca/depts/ref/refweb.thm#style and
http://info.library.yorku.ca/internet/citing.htm for Internet
citations.
It is the policy of York University that instructors mark only
original assignments, not copies. Email and fax submissions are
not acceptable. Students are advised to retain a copy of each
submission. All assignments should be typed in an appropriate
12-point font and double-spaced with one-inch margins. Please
respect due dates and assume they hold weight. Unless a dire
emergency has taken place, it is expected that assignments will
be handed in on time. Work handed in outside of the parameters
of the course may not be graded in time to avoid recording a
“fail” mark on student transcripts. This is never a good thing. I
do not accept e-mailed versions of assignments; hard copies are
mandatory.
Academic honesty is of the utmost importance in any
learning endeavour. Please familiarize yourself with the
regulations on plagiarism and cheating in the pre-service
teacher education handbook. In addition, support material and a
tutorial can be accessed at York University’s Academic
Integrity Web Site: www.yorku.ca/academicintegrity or
www.yorku.ca/academicintegrity/students.htm.
Students with special needs are asked to contact the course
6. director within the first two weeks of classes in order to make
appropriate arrangements for assistance and facilitation of
learning and teaching. It is York University’s policy to support
students with identified special needs. If you believe you will
experience difficulties fulfilling course requirements, please
arrange to meet with me.
York provides services for students with disabilities
(including physical, medical, learning and psychiatric
disabilities) needing accommodation related to teaching and
evaluation methods/materials. These services are made available
to students in all Faculties and programs at York University.
Students in need of these services are asked to register with
disability services as early as possible to ensure that appropriate
academic accommodation can be provided with advance notice.
You are encouraged to schedule a time early in the term to meet
with each instructor to discuss accommodation needs. Please
note that registering with disabilities services and discussing
your needs with your instructor is necessary to avoid any
impediment to receiving the necessary academic
accommodations to meet your needs.

I also want to say a word about the use of computers in the
class. While laptops, portable phones and WiFi have become a
vital component of our lives at the university, not to mention
invaluable tools for learning, there is undoubtedly a dark side to
the wireless experience. Using the computer to take notes,
enhance study or augment creative pedagogy is the best use of
technology. Checking email, texting, online surfing, chatting,
updating social networks and downloading games, music, videos
or software is not. These activities are distracting to colleagues
and the CD. As new teachers, you will come to understand the
distractions our portable world of technology creates, as well as
the educational challenges it presents within the classroom.
Drawing from that knowledge, I would ask that students operate
from the best angels of their natures and refrain from using
technology for any purpose but the aims of the course while in
the classroom setting.
On a related note, it is a matter of courtesy and legality
never to record members of the class –including the teacher—
without their expressed permission. My assumption is that
anyone choosing to remain in the course understands this
contract.

Online Resources listed below
Assignments
I. Group Presentation + Handout (25%)
Each student will choose one of the short stories and lead the
discussion of that story to a small group in-class. In order to
facilitate the discussion, I am going to ask that each student
prepare 3 questions about their short story as these related to
ideas and concepts of situated learning. Please write the
question and some of your own links to in-class discussion and
reading for each. Hand these in ONE WEEK FOLLOWING
YOUR FACILITATION OF GROUP DISCUSSION, along with
a small synopsis of how the question functioned in the reading
groups. Did your question open up points to consider or shut
them down? Were links to the theory evident or were your
group members hesitant to make these connections? Why do you
think that was the case? How did your thinking about each
question evolve because of the discussion you facilitated? (Each
question should have no more than a one-paragraph write-up.)
II. Personal Experience of Situated learning (30%)
Due: February 13
On January 30, each student in the class will present a
personal narrative of an example of situated learning as it is
broadly defined and creatively expanded in each of the articles
we will have read in class by that point. After your
9. presentation, prepare a three-to-five page write-up of your
narrative. This write-up should include a description of the
story you told, how it relates to the theories we've discussed and
read about together, a grade you give yourself on the
presentation and a justification for that grade. What
characteristics of situated learning were present in your
personal narrative and the accompanying presentation? Which
theories did you see playing out in the discussion? In the work
of doing the write-up? In giving yourself an assessment? What
went well in the experience and what didn't? What was
disappointing, surprising, inspiring? What did the experience of
doing this assignment teach you about the larger issues of this
course?
III: Online Postings (10 X 3 = 30%)
Due: Weeks of January 12, 16 and 23
For each of the theoretical readings (Dewey, Lave) I will
pose an article-based question in class and on-line; students are
expected to respond in a succinct, one-paragraph answer
demonstrating their engagement and understanding with the
readings.
IV. Final Engagements (15%)
Due: April 2
For the last class, I will pose one last question about the
larger themes of our course and ask for a succinct response
engaging a number of the course readings, including The
Inexplicable Logic Of My Life. Students will respond either by
posting online or handing in a hard-copy demonstrating a
familiar understanding of the readings and a creative re-
10. envisioning of their encounter with the idea of “situated
learning.”
An outline of the standard expectations for grading are below.

Final Engagement Due
You may find the listening this week a bit of a challenge to your
ear……..some of the selections, anyway. So, we are going to
challenge your ears and your ability to find the value in any
piece of music!
You are still working with 6 selections here, one pair must
include either the Varese, Glass or Cage piece. Think about the
style of these works and make an argument for their value and
16. the characteristics of 20th century music. Think about when
they were written. Do you think there is direct link to perhaps
architecture or visual art of the time?
Then choose 4 more selections from the week’s listening
assignments and make your contrast or comparison. You will
have 3 pairs again, with one pair including one of the
composers listed above. If it helps to watch a video on youtube,
please do. Sometimes the visual will help.
Make sure you correctly write the titles. These should be
treated like a book title. Capitalize, etc. as expected. Your log
should be one typed page using Times 12pt. font and single-
spaced. You will want to give the composer name and era
(Baroque, Classical, Rock, etc.) based on what we are studying
for the week. You will need to include at least one interesting
fact you learned along the way about this piece of music…even
if that is something you read about in regard to the composer or
some major historical event, etc. This is your choice. You
should discuss some of the instruments used and this may be
one way to make a contrast/comparison between works as well.
Here are other ideas: Tempo of the choices? Instruments vs.
Voice? Male vs. Female? Consonant/Dissonant? Describe the
music and its effect on you using Aaron Copland's three planes
of music listening (sensuous, expressive, purely musical
elements). These are all ideas you may use. I should not just
read a description of the music…….you MUST compare and/or
contrast the work(s) against each other in some way.
For my first pairing I wanted to compare works of the same
composer. I chose BEETHOVEN: String Quartet in C Minor IV
and BEETHOVEN: Symphony No 5 in C Minor, III. Not only
did I want to use the same composer, I also wanted to use the
same scale. The exciting rondo movement from Beethoven’s
String Quartet in C Minor, Op. 18, No. 4, may be outlined A B
17. A C A B A (Kamien, p. 204). What that means is that, this
piece has three main themes, A, B and C. The themes A and B
are repeated with C in the middle. This selection gets right off
to a fast pace start. I could hear the violin and recognized it
immediately. I listened to this selection a few times trying to
figure out the other instruments playing. I was astonished to
learn that it was just violins. That knowledge made me
appreciate the piece even more. BEETHOVEN: Symphony No 5
in C Minor, III is a very popular piece used in numerous
different ways. It was used in an Intel commercial, the Pink
Panther and sample by numerous musicians today. There is a
curious alternation of mood between his odd-numbered
symphonies (Symphonies No. 3, 5, 7, and 9), which tend to be
forceful and assertive, and his even-numbered ones
(Symphonies No. 4, 6, and 8), which are calmer and more
lyrical (Kamien, p.239). The more forceful mood was heard
immediately. The aggressive bowing from the violinist
expressed the mood of the selection perfectly. Totally opposite
of the light an airy mood the String Quartet. Utilizing the same
instrument and creating totally different sounds is amazing.
The power of music and the ability of musicians to understand
and be able to create different moods is lost on most musicians
of today.
My second pairing is of MOZART: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, III
and HAYDN: Symphony No. 94 in G Minor II. Mozart’s Eine
kleine Nachtmusik is a serenade, a work that’s usually light in
mood, meant for evening entertainment (Kamien, p.203). The
double bass compliments the string section adequately.
Although, it is supposed to be light in mood while listening my
mood wasn’t light. This isn’t as aggressive as Beethoven’s 5th,
but the strings section had some assertiveness to them. I could
see royalty entering a Gala to this piece. It demanded attention
in an inconspicuous way, you wouldn’t even realize that you are
being commanded by the music. Haydn’s piece on the other
hand felt more like evening entertainment. I could see a Minuet
18. being performed to this piece. Haydn composed his most
famous symphony, Symphony No. 94 in G Major (Surprise), in
1791, during his first visit to London (Kamien, p. 210). Haydn
titled this piece Surprise and 32 seconds into the selection you
will understand why. The piece starts off with a soft melody
that’s repeated and then “surprise” the full orchestra reached a
crescendo and then the soft melody repeats. I was surprised by
the crescendo and then when I read about the piece and saw
what he titled it I smile and thought, fitting.
My third pairing is between MOZART: Requiem in D Minor and
BEETHOVEN: Piano Sonata in C Minor, II. The somber tones
of the violins and the chant like vocals in the background gave
me the feeling of utter doom. In the last two months of his life,
Mozart composed nine movements of the Requiem and part of a
tenth (Kamien, p235). Mozart felt the mood of this piece was a
reflection for him. He died trying to complete the Requiem.
His friend and student Franz Xaver Süssmayr, was the one who
completed the Requiem. For the first time since listening I got
the affection of the selection correct. I felt the mood, the
composer was trying to convey. Following this piece up with
Beethoven’s was a match. This mood of this piece in my
opinion felt like the danger and doom that Mozart was warning
about came to fruition in Beethoven’s piece. The way that the
piece started off so slow was what gave me that end feeling.
Like someone who was tormented just died and is in pain no
more. As the chords repeated and elevated in pitch it reinforced
the end. Deep tones inserted into the beautiful melody during
the first movement reminds you of the tragedy.
