Understanding of individual student’s cultures
When early number and operation concepts are taught well, children move from understanding “10” as ten ones to understanding “10” as one unit of ten. This knowledge can be applied in many mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction.
Select at least three number and operations in base ten standards for the grade level of your field experience classroom. Design three learning centers for a small group of students that will be run by volunteers. In developing your learning centers, consider students’ personal, family, community experiences, and cultural norms, and how those can be integrated into the math centers. Create one learning center that promotes active inquiry, one that includes problem solving, and one that incorporates technology .
For each learning center, write a 150-250 word handout for the volunteer who will be facilitating each center’s activity.
Include the following in each handout:
Purpose and learning objective aligned to the state standard
Narrative essay.
Choose a subject appropriate for a narrative essay, using one specific experience from your own life.
Your body paragraphs will take the reader through the story itself; your introduction and conclusion will situate the story.
You will use first person in this essay.
Bring your description skills to your work! I look forward to seeing your richly describe the setting, characters, and actions.
Dialogue is acceptable but not necessary. I’d rather have you write the scenes and events without significant or lengthy dialogue.
Make sure that you follow the narrative arc and have the story grow from a central problem that provides the story’s purpose and exigence.
Grading Overview (also: see our rubric)
Sensory details — do you paint a clear picture of your moment and scene for the reader?
Organization and development – do you use transitions that work to improve the flow of your paper? Does your paper have a chronology to order it?
Focus and perspective – please do not refer to the act of writing the paper or the assignment itself.
Dominant impression – what idea do you want your reader to come away with after reading your story?
Mechanics – see your textbook, or visit the Writing Center, for help with this.
Conceptual and a theoretical framework.
Post an explanation of how Grant and Osanloo (2014) describe the differences between conceptual and a theoretical framework. Support your explanation with examples from the article as well as from your texts.

Digital competencies.
the article is about the rapid expansion of technology and how it has affected the learning process. So now teachers have to cope with this change and should acquire some digital competencies or literacies in order to implement them into the classroom and make language learning more appealing to the students. So, what are these digital competencies and how can teachers acquire them. And what are they for learners too.
