A learning profile is defined as the way in which “people ‘come at’ learning” and includes learning style, intelligence preferences, culture, and gender (Sousa & Tomlinson, 2012, p. 137). Consider for a moment how you like to learn best. Do you feel like you learn better in a learning environment that caters to your specific learning profile? After reflecting on this question, you will participate in a debate regarding learning styles (a component of one’s learning profile), which is a highly controversial topic among respected researchers and psychologists.
Is it important for educators to know the learning style of their students?
For this debate, you will be assigned to a particular debate group based on the first letter of your last name.
Last Names A-M: Learning styles are important
Debate Process: Using the information in the course text, from the additional sources provided, and your own research utilizing the Ashford Online Library, develop an argument that supports your assigned side and post it in the discussion. Your argument must be supported by the literature to give validity and evidence for your argument. Be sure to explain why learning styles are or are not important for use in the classroom.

The summaries should include the following information: o A brief explanation/summary of the source. (Identify what the article is about or explain what the author tested, etc.) Do not copy/paste the abstract or the summary from the article and place it in your paper. Paraphrase and summarize the information in your own words. o A brief explanation of how this source will contribute to your final paper.
The following are examples of what is NOT acceptable for academic research and referencing. These MAY NOT be used in your paper: o Encyclopedias o Dictionaries o Wikipedia, other wikis, or blogs o Ehow.com, Ask.com, About.com, Howthingswork.com, or any similar site o Websites and other sources that do not provide quality researched materials (site does not use credible sources to support the information in the document) All research must reflect professional academic protocol and be documented according to APA standards.

The following principles have been recognized as core tenets of the U.S. Constitution:
Checks and balances
Federalism
Judicial review
Limited government
Popular sovereignty
Separation of powers
Create a 12-15-slide PowerPoint presentation to educate a group of students or adults about the core tenets listed above for an upcoming Constitution Day celebration in a school setting. You may select a grade level 1-12, teachers, or parents as your audience. Please specify your intended audience and include other pertinent information within the speaker notes. Your presentation should be engaging and appropriate for your chosen audience. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 50-100 words in your speaker notes per slide.
In addition to your PowerPoint, include a 250-500-word essay describing two interactive learning activities for your intended audience to coincide with your presentation.

One of the key principals of differentiation is information dissemination to stakeholders including students, parents, colleagues, and others involved in the education community.
In preparing for the first day of a new school year, you decide to create either informational literature (like a brochure or double-sided flyer) or a classroom website explaining the foundations of Differentiated Instruction and its implication in your classroom. Whether you choose to create a brochure, flyer, or classroom website, the information must be specific to your current or fictional classroom (e.g., school, grade level, academic content, student population).
In this assignment you must:
· Define differentiation in your own words including the justification for differentiating in the classroom environment.
· Describe how you will create a positive learning environment that is also safe and secure.
· Describe how you will meet the social and emotional needs of your students including ways to eliminate student fear of failure.
· Discuss your expectations of student work and assignments.
· Describe how you will provide students opportunities to succeed.
· Discuss how you will assess student work.
· Select at least three resources (your text may be used as one source) for education stakeholders on differentiation (e.g.,, books, articles, websites, etc.). These will be different from the sources you use to support your assignment (see below).
Be creative! Whatever you choose to create, provide access to your instructor by uploading all the necessary links or text in a document. Use your course text and two scholarly articles in the Ashford University Library or Google Scholar to support your research. Although a typical brochure or flyer is two pages (front and back) there is not a page or length requirement for this assignment, as that will limit your creativity; however, each rubric-based requirement must be fully and thoroughly addressed. If you plan to create a classroom website, you must provide access to the website to your instructor. Be sure to provide proper APA citations at the end of your assignment for the sources that you use (e.g., at the bottom of the brochure or website).
Feel free to use these websites as a starting point for creating a brochure or flyer:
Differentiated instruction includes the environmental layout and behavioral expectations that are set on the first day of school. Keeping in mind the teaching practices in a differentiated environment, where lessons are taught using multiple means of instructional delivery, students guide learning, and lessons are based on real-world examples whenever possible, how should a physical layout be designed to promote such an environment? A space should be created where students can work in groups without disrupting each other; materials should be organized in such a way that students can access them without interrupting others; the classroom itself should be inviting and culturally sensitive with pictures, signs, and student work displayed without being overwhelming; and collaboration should be evident along with independent learning that cater to student strengths (Southwest Educational Development Laboratory [SEDL], 1995).
In addition to instruction and the physical classroom layout, a differentiated learning environment promotes positive behavior management that promotes self-management, self-determination, and independence. According to Alfie Kohn, a well-known author of books on behavior, education, and parents, “…the more we manage students’ behavior and try to make them do what we say, the more difficult it is for them to become morally sophisticated people who think for themselves and care about others” (Kohn, 1996, p. 62). How does this translate into your classroom management? What can you do to teach them to make the right behavioral decisions, think independently, and take responsibility for their own actions?
