I think as educators, we ALL have that one issue that we are extremely passionate about! Some of us may have many more than one, but as teachers, administrators, counselors, etc. there are times where we just simply look around and think “this could be better”. For me personally, I’ve always been very passionate about elementary gifted math and the level skipping that we do with our young students. Instead of thinking horizontally and building on skills, we jump to a vertical method and often leave out major mathematical building blocks by skipping students up a grade or two. I could write on it all day, but you get the point. When I think about this issue, I perhaps have made assumptions and created a set of beliefs based on my personal experiences, however, that does not always mean that research will support my gut feelings. In this post, you goal is to think about your beliefs on an educational issue. After you’ve made a list, you have to search to find research support for your beliefs. Through this task, you might find that research doesn’t support what you think to be true. If that is the case, pick another belief and work to see if research supports that one. The key to this first discussion board is learning to support your overall beliefs with scholarly research. <\/p>\n
Reach out with any and all questions. Dr. RiceYou will respond to the prompt in 2 parts: a thread of 400-600 words in response to the Discussion prompt, and a reply of at least 200-300 words to 2 classmates\u2019 threads. Each thread, reply, and cited reference must follow current APA format.<\/p>\n
You must show respect and sensitivity toward varying opinions and ideas presented. Furthermore, you are expected to respond to all questions posted by your instructor and\/or classmates in your thread, even if you have already posted your reply to another student\u2019s thread.<\/p>\n
Title the subject line of replies as \u201cReply to John Smith,\u201d or \u201cReply to Jane Doe,\u201d so that it will be clear to whom you are responding. Note that replies such as \u201cI like what you said,\u201d \u201cThat’s a good point,\u201d and \u201cI disagree with your comment,\u201d do not count as complete replies. Instead, add substantial supporting thoughts or ideas to elucidate why you agreed with the thread or provide alternative ideas and thoughts to demonstrate why you disagreed.<\/p>\n
As one of the goals of Discussions is to encourage student community learning, not every thread will have a response from the instructor. Rather, the instructor will respond to a few threads in a way that adds to the conversation, asks pertinent questions, or summarizes some of the key points made by students.<\/p>\n
