- As illustrated in the introduction discussion
this week, each of you has experienced a unique
journey through a variety of educational
experiences throughout your lives. Naturally,
some of these experiences will have contributed
to your personal development and identity with
greater impact than others. Furthermore, many
in-school variables have affected your
educational journey. The decisions made by those
teachers and school staff defining your in-school
learning experiences were derived from their
philosophies of education and their understanding
of educational theory. The prevailing educational
theories informing your teachers could likely be
defined along the continuum of major theories
that include behaviorism, cognitivism, and
constructivism. Refer to the Learning Theories
resources provided in the Instructor Guidance for
a concise review of these major theories.

- Caines Arcade. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Caine is a
9-year-old boy whose afterschool and weekend
project turned into an international imagination
movement. As theCaines Arcade video explains,
Caine built a gaming arcade almost entirely out
of cardboard and opened it up for business in the
storefront of his fathers auto parts store. This
story provides an excellent example of how
characteristics of Caines personal identity
might affect how and what he learned from the
specific experiences portrayed. The cultural
values that nurtured Caines curiosity and
inventiveness can be identified within his video
story and the factors contributing to his funds
of knowledge going into the project can

-
- Nikhil Goyal is a successful high school student
who, like many students his age, hates school.
But unlike most students his age, Nikhil wrote a
speech about it and delivered it to a global
audience via a TEDX Youth(2012) presentation. The
central theme of the presentation is relevance
and, specifically, how schools often lack
relevance to the lives of their learners. The
majority of Nikhils story focuses on Nick Perez,
a boy who was marginalized in school and
medicated to be able to adhere to the parameters
of thought and behavior expected for
participation in the school. As you view the
presentation, you will learn how Nick became
disillusioned by the lack of relevancy and
interest in his studies and how his
disenfranchisement eventually led him to drop out
of school.

- Landfill Harmonics and 21st-Century Skills. 1st
Post Due by Day 3. As educators, knowing about
the 21st- century skills is important, and being
able to recognize the skills within specific
examples is an indicator that you truly
understand them and how they work in application.
In Week One, we discussed the story of Caine and
his arcade as a way to explore how culture
influences creativity, imagination, and
inventiveness. In this discussion, we go a step
further by considering 21st-century skills in
relation to another inspiring

- Outside Challenges. 1st Post Due by Day 3. This
discussion focuses on identifying the economic,
technological, social and personal factors
outside of school that can result in barriers to
academic success inside school. From Week Ones
readings of the course text and the assessments
related thereto, you should now be familiar with
the research that describes the relationship
between factors of social class and school
success, the impact of diversity on learning, and
the importance of family involvement. These
factors

- In Chapter 12, Wardle (2013) summarizes the
important characteristics of a culturally
relevant teacher. Use this information as a guide
or resource throughout this assignment to help
inspire your thinking as you apply your knowledge
of culturally relevant pedagogy toward specific
solutions to problems facing a teacher with a
very diverse student population. This exercise
provides excellent practice over the application
of culturally relevant principles in the design
of effective instructional solutions. You will
need to design such instructional solutions
within the Final Project, so it is very important
to practice such skills here. Specifically, for
this assignment, you will view a brief video

-
- Equal Versus Equitable. 1st Post Due by Day 3. It
can be difficult for students in any class to
understand the importance of equity in their
classroom. Its not fair! is a common reaction
from students who observe other students getting
benefits that they did not receive. For example,
some students with specific learning disabilities
may receive additional time to complete
assignments. Wardle (2013) points out a clear
distinction between equality and equity noting
that Equal education is providing equal
resources and opportunities for all students to
succeed in education (p. 51). On the other hand,
according to Banks (2013), equitable education
goes beyond equal, and to some extent
contradicts it, in that it requires tailoring the
educational approach... to each student, based on
the students individual and cultural
characteristics, so the student can achieve to
his or her full potential,

- A number of important resources supporting the
design, development, implementation, and
evaluation of culturally relevant instructional
experiences are available online. Throughout this
course, you have had many opportunities to view a
number of such resources. This assignment
encourages you to reflect on the key concepts
presented in the course through the creation of a
web-based presentation or website that you can
use in the future to support your teaching
efforts. The goal is to showcase several model
schools or programs representing what you have
learned thus far regarding culturally relevant
practices, creativity, and innovation. A plethora
of options exists as you search for model

- Models of Creativity. 1st Post Due by Day 3.
Robinson (2011) noted that When people say to me
that they are not creative, I assume that they
havent yet learnt what is involved (p. 1). Do
you find it interesting to consider that
creativity can be learned? Or conversely, that it
can be unlearned? In this discussion, you will
apply your knowledge of creativity and the
strategies needed to encourage it by reflecting
on a personal experience in which your creativity
was either stifled or enhanced. Please review
this weeks Instructor Guidance for specific
assistance on excelling in this discussion.

- Triangle of Support. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Have
you ever seen Blue Man Group perform? If not,
here is a ten- minute video that showcases the
groups unique, creative talent Blue Man Group
part 01. In their own way, the members of the
Blue Man Group reflect the essence of the
Landfill Harmonic project. For example, at the
heart of Blue Man Groups act are musical
instruments made from things that were not
originally designed to make music. Similar to the
Landfill Harmonic accomplishments, Blue Man
Groups creativity is not just applied to making
music, but to making the instruments that make
the music. - Something you might not know about the Blue Man
Group is that the members have created a school
specifically designed to encourage and cultivate
the creative spirit in

- For this assignment, you need to assume the role
of a classroom educator. This can be based on a
class that you are currently teaching, one that
you have previously taught, or one that you hope
to teach in the future. Suppose you are
participating in a department team meeting with
the other teachers in your grade level. You are
having a discussion about an upcoming unit. One
of the teachers indicates that she plans to
distribute the same packets she used last year
and schedule five days of independent seat work
for her students to complete the packets by
locating answers in the course textbook. This
would be followed by a written exam over the
material in the packets.

- Decisions! Decisions! 1st Post Due by Day 3.
Teachers are professionals who must make many
decisions throughout their day! Some decisions
are immediate, spur of the moment choices like
disciplining students or revising a lesson that
is not working. Others decisions are more
calculated, like developing a semester-long
project designed to incorporate community
resources into a problem-solving scenario. All
the small decisions teachers make throughout
their day likely support the two most important,
larger overarching decisions that are made at the
beginning of a learning experience and are based
in part on many macrocultural and microcultural
factors

- Creativity, Innovation, and Culture. 1st Post Due
by Day 3. In this final reflection, you are asked
to describe a set of skills you acquired over the
years that allows you to be creative in some way.
This might be musical instrument skills, cooking,
knitting, writing, model-building,
gardening....anything you consider yourself good
at that encourages you to experience ...the
process of having original ideas that have value
(Robinson, 2011, p. 151). By analyzing these
skills in light of the culturally relevant
context in which they were learned, you may
realize an even deeper understanding of the
skills facilitated within this course.
