Methods of Instruction:

The course will consist of explicit instruction, lectures/ presentations, videos, class discussions, group work, and class activities.  There will be group and individual assignments, both in and out of the class.

 

Assessment:

1.    Professionalism/Weekly Activities:

       One measure of acceptable teaching is being professional.  This means (among other things) honoring commitments, being prepared for class, completing assignments on time, and being present when classes begin.  Professionalism also suggests involvement that includes, but is not limited to, active participation in discussions, sharing ideas, and respecting others whose ideas differ from one's own.

       Regular, collaborative activities among students comprise a portion of the course grade.  There may be times when a student will be absent from class.  However, students who are unavailable for in-class activities cannot earn credit related to these activities. There will be an opportunity to earn 10% of the student's grade for class activities. 

 

2.    Examinations (Assessments):

       There will be three 'assessments.'  These will take place during the 6th, 9th and 11th weeks of class (weeks of Feb. 1st, Mar. 1st, and Mar. 15th). The first two assessments will be formative, covering materials from the preceding instructional interim.  Assessments will cover the text, reading assignments, handouts, lectures, presenters, reports, videos, etc.  Make-up assessments are not available.  First two assessments comprise 24% of the student's grade; the Final (take home) exam constitutes 6%.  Note: The Final assessment may be completed by groups of students (see Attachment B for format).

 

3.    Popular-Media Activity:

       Each student has the opportunity to engage in a popular media experience.  Media experiences consist of a) viewing a movie/video/play, or reading a book, in which a prominent character has a handicapping condition and b) a reflecting on the experience.  In no more than one double-spaced page - describe how the character's condition is portrayed and her/his experiences.  Include a personal reflection (what you thought about the depiction).  Be prepared to share during the 4rd week of class (week of Jan. 25th). Popular-Media activity comprises 5% of the student's grade.

 

4.    Current Information:

               Students will find a citation in the text, look up the article, and report in class what was said in the article/book.  For full credit, use the following format:

 

        ___/1% Page number on which the citation appears in the text;

        ___/1% Quote of what the text said that the article indicated.  Give a brief description

        of the context (tell what point the text was making);

        ___/1% APA citation of the referenced article; (Click here for APA  Guide)

        ___/1% A brief summary of the cited article including a) how well the article

      *Note: For full credit, the introduction, sub-area write-up AND the annotated bibliography will be posted in each student's electronic portfolio (2 of the 27 points) on the day of the class presentation.

 

The group project comprises 44% of each student's grade.  Presentations will take place during the last three weeks of the quarter. Topics for each group will be chosen early in the quarter.

* If necessary, the final group presentation will take place on the date/time scheduled for the final examination - week 11.

 

Notes: 

Ÿ       American Psychological Association (APA) format will be used in the written project.  A deduction of .1 point will be charged per error. APA pdf file is available on request.  (Click here for APA  Guide)

Ÿ       The group project will consist of an introduction, 8.5-minute oral subtopic presentation, and general conclusion that details the project and will be presented weeks 8-11.

Ÿ       Grammar, spelling, and APA format count on the project.  A deduction of .1 point will be assessed for each error in the written portion (Click here for APA  Guide).

Ÿ       Paginate the document(s). Non-paginated sections will lose one point.

Ÿ       According to the American Heritage Dictionary, plagiarize comes from Latin (kidnapper) and means 'To use and pass off as one's own (the ideas or writing of another).'  Be sure to credit the writers whose ideas you use in your paper.  If you use a direct quote, use quotation marks and cite the page(s) from which you copied the text.  Short phrases (usu. about 3 words) do not need page number citations.

Ÿ       The group project comprises 44% of the student's grade.. Presentations made using a Powerpoint of 6 or more slides with included citations earns one (1) extra presentation point (45% vs 44%).

 

6.    Simulation: (SLO 20)

       Each student will participate in a 1- to 2-hour simulation of a low-incidence handicapping condition (e.g., vision [1 hr.] or hearing impairment [2 hrs.], physical disability [3 hrs.]). A one-to-two double-spaced written reflection on the experience will be due the 9th week of classes (week of  Mar. 1st) and students should be prepared to share their experience in class.

Simulation activity comprises 5% of the students' grades.

 

7.  Quick Quizzes: (SLO 1-18)

       Quick quizzes are designed to serve as random checks on students' preparation, knowledge, and skills related to intended student outcomes.  Bonus 'coupons' (worth +1% (.01)) of the various assessment points will be available for mastery performance on quick quizzes.

According the CWU catalog:

The highest grade, "A", is reserved for those students who have excelled in every phase of the course.

The "B" grade is for students whose work is superior but does not warrant the special distinctiveness of the "A."

A "C" grade indicates that the student has made substantial progress toward meeting the objectives of the course and has fulfilled the requirements of the course.  (The grades above "C" are used for those students who demonstrated some degree of superiority.)

The "D" is a grade for those students who have made progress toward meeting the objectives of the course but who have fulfilled the requirements only in a substandard manner.

The "F" is reserved for students who have failed to meet or have accomplished so few of the requirements of the course that they are not entitled to credit.



 Class Policies:

Quality standards for Assignments:  Professional assignments consist of neat, accurate, and well-prepared materials. Assignments need to be word-processed for full credit.  With prior approval neatly handwritten assignments are acceptable for full points.

Overlapping Classes: If students are enrolled in two classes that overlap in time they are responsible for ALL coursework requirements."

Late Assignments: Part of professional behavior is submitting assignments on time.  Assignments that are not turned in at the outset of class for the session they are due will lose 10% of total points per day (but no more than 70% if turned in before the final week).

Incomplete grades will be given only for documented medical reasons, extreme personal hardship, or family emergencies. 

In-class activities may require the use of the course text.  Please come prepared.


Livetext: Admission to and continuation in the Teacher Education Program requires that you purchase LiveText. You must present proof of purchase to the Certification Office, Black 228. Posting of final grades will be delayed until individual artifacts have been posted for sharing with the instructor on LiveText accounts.


ADA Statement:  Students who have special needs or disabilities that may affect their ability to access information and/or materials presented in this course are encouraged to contact the instructor as soon as possible.  You may also wish to contact Robert Harden, ADA Compliance Officer, Director, ADA Affairs and Student Assistance on CWU campus at 963-2171 for additional disability related educational accommodations.
