Costume designers

essaychamps247 Academic Papers, education

Think for a moment (or two) about the short video clips that you watched about different costume designers and what they had to say about their work. What did you think about what they had to say about the work of the costume designer? Did any of them make statements that corroborated this week’s reading and PowerPoint materials? If so, what? Was there anything that surprised you about their different approaches to costume design?

Favorite technology

Think back to when you were a child in elementary school. What technology did you have in the classroom? How did it make you feel about learning?

  • What was your favorite technology?
  • Did you love to run the filmstrip projector for your teacher or get excited when the librarian wheeled a giant TV and VCR into your classroom?
  • Did you have computers or tablets?
  • Compare the technology of your childhood to either what you or your children (or a friend or relative’s children) have in the classroom now. What would you have liked to have had in your classroom when you were their age?

Standardized assessment tests

essaychamps247 Academic Papers, education

For your assignment, you will create a brochure for families about the standardized assessments that you use to ensure their child is growing and developing at the appropriate rate. You may use Microsoft Word to create your brochure. Your brochure should be based on the standardized tests that are used with the age (infants/toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged) of children you plan to work with.

Your brochure must contain sections with the following guidelines:

  • Choose two of the standardized assessments that are shared in Chapter 3 of your course text, Assessment in Early Childhood Education, which are used with your chosen age group (School-aged Children). For these two standardized tests, compare and contrast the following:
    • Explain how the assessment is scored. This includes clearly defining whether each assessment is norm-referenced or criterion-referenced.
    • Describe what each test measures. Make sure to connect this back to developmental domains.
    • Explain the role that reliability and validity play in each of these assessments.
  • Explain what the two standardized tests do not measure and how you will measure these skills
  • Discuss how you will report the results to families
  • Provide at least three tips for families about how they can communicate with you about concerns/questions about standardized testing.
  • Include at least three standardized testing resources families can use if they want to learn more about standardized testing. Include a one- to two-sentence description of each resource.
  • Utilize at least three images that are related to standardized testing throughout your brochure to enhance the visual appeal.

NOTE: Chapter 3.1 has been attached below. I chose “School-aged Children. You may scroll to the section that lists the School-aged children standardized tests. 

Thanks!

Phone interview for an online teaching job

essaychamps247 Academic Papers, education

You have been selected for a phone interview for an online teaching job you applied to several weeks ago. Throughout the initial portion of the call, you surmise that the interviewer is using the behavior-based approach, asking you to talk about “a time” when you had to handle a particular situation or when you had to demonstrate skill or knowledge in an area. The interviewer asks the following questions – how do you answer them? (P.S. These are variants of actual questions I myself have been asked in online teaching job interviews! Keep these “notes” handy!)
