Please read, (Chapter 1) - Becoming a 21st Century Teacher.
(Chapter 2) - Understanding Educational Technology Issues and Trends
Blog Question 1: View A Vision of K-12 Students Today. What is the overall message of
this clip? On what level do you agree with this message? Why? What are your current
experiences with technology in the classroom? Think about traditional printed books... now
watch this! Download on your iPad, iPhone or android the colAR app. Imagine how books and
print will change. What do you think? NOTE: save a copy of your blog postings, as you will
submit them all together during week 8 as Project 3- BPD.
Part A – Complete a short quiz to assess your library knowledge. This research knowledge is
very helpful as you develop technology proficiency. You will continue training during week 3.
Part B - Prepare a detailed autobiography. Include your full name, phone numbers, your
picture (yes a picture). Next, modify the same picture 4 times. You can use FotoFlexer or ipiccy
another photo editing website. Copy and paste or (Screen shot YouTube) the edited pictures into
the WORD document. NOW the fun part… Create a welcome video in YouTube that gives me
an overview of your autobiography. This is not only fun, but it will help you are we create
projects to present on YouTube. You MUST make the video available so that I can view it. This
does not mean it is public, but you must open make sure it is viewable when you send me the
link. YOU MUST TEST the video it by sending it to a friend or family member first to ensure it
works. (DO THIS STEP). When emailing this, save the document as (last name, First Name,
AutoBio). Your written autobio will also be posted in the Blog section so that we can use our
social forum to get to know each other. You do not have to post the picture to the blackboard
blog if you do not want to or the YouTube video.
Quiz Schedule: You will have a few check point short quizzes to evaluate your
understanding of the textbook material and the foundation of technology infusion strategies. You
can complete the quizzes on your own schedule, but make sure you do not fall behind or wait
until the last week of the course. It is wise to read the chapters ahead of time and do not attempt
to open the book for the first time during the timed quizzes. The quizzes are open now, but again
they are taken on your own schedule.
How2 Complete this Course: This course will be completed using a scenario based problem
solving model and technology resources with 21st century infusion strategies. The problems will
be presented to you in a complex scenario that you must solve using your acquired technology
training. The method in which you solve the scenario is up to you, but the tools and techniques
must be fully infused and viable to solve the problems you will encounter.
The first phase is the Techno-Illumination Preparation Product or (T.I.P.) will offer you the
needed skills and training to best to solve the scenarios presented. You must be prepared to meet

all of the needs of your students and stakeholders. This requires knowledge and often
personalized learning experiences for each student. The (TIP.) will be paramount to your
success.
The Timeframe: The first four weeks of this course will be dedicated to learning and using the
technology tools listed in the syllabus under week 2 (TIP). You must open free accounts and
actually use the software programs to create products. Some of these products will be seen when
submitting your scenario solution. The next three weeks will be dedicated to actually solving the
scenarios and fully infusing these tech-tools into your final product, some you must create from
scratch. Finally, the last week will be used to reflect on how you grew with respect to
technology. Detailed directions and guidelines can be found listed under each week. You will
also participate in original, visionary, inventive blogs during the weeks to come. These questions
are designed to make you think about technology in a whole new way. The blog questions are a
requirement of the course. Your active participation in the course is measured by your
involvement with your colleagues, your insight, and your technology savviness. Projects are to
be presented to the instructor on the due date and must be saved as requested. NOTE: An APA
title page is required for all projects.
Live on-ground courses see your instructor for submission procedures and due
dates for all activities, or assignments in the course.

Techno-Illumination Product: - 20 points (online students - see due dates in blackboard, ground
students - see your instructor for due dates). Technology infusion is not an event or a separate lesson;
rather it is part of your day and is paramount to the success of the content you are delivering. As
our students demand overall information immediately and in a multimedia format, it becomes a
priority to meet those demands. This means the teacher must be ahead of the students with
respect to tech-tools. This means you must be willing to embrace technology. This (TIP) task is
not a difficult challenge to meet; moreover it is a conscious decision about what tools to select
and how to use the multitude of resources available to meet your student’s needs. While
planning and training, keep in mind the standards that exist to meet the needs of 21st century
students. Complete the training by reviewing and creating products from the TIP list (below).
This (TIP) project will require you to create accounts and actual products from each category.
You will create original YouTube videos as you address the emails scenario presented in project
two. Although you will not be able to integrate all of the products you learn during the training,
please pick the most relevant tools from each category to address the needs of the scenario
problem presented during week 4. The opportunity to practice collaborating with colleagues,
parents, students, school leaders, and community leaders or (stakeholders) is a major part of this
training. When emailing /submitting this project the email subject area and the actual document
will be saved as, (last name, first name, TIP).
Applications to learn and use: First step is to open a
Google will be used for many sections of this course. All tech-apps listed are free! They also provide
informational training videos about how to access, use, and share the software products you
create. Always search YouTube for more training videos if you get stuck or need more help.
Please review all products; however you only need to create 1 product from each of the 6
categories. Some of the program will do the same thing, but having your own preference is
important.
Sanford Assignment: Use the template (Appendix K) to evaluate 2 (two) of the resources
you select for your Techno-Illumination Product. You will submit the form from (Appendix K)

SOLVE The Scenario: You have just graduated from college and
have accepted your first teaching position teaching third grade and you are expected to prepare
students to learn using 21st century skills. You have a great deal of knowledge that you learned in
college at NSU and want to apply everything to your teaching to enhance student’s achievement
and active participation.
You want to reach all students and know that you must integrate many different tools to make
this possible. This will include developing personalized learning experiences for many students
as you plan and develop your lessons and activities. Since your school is a paperless school, you
will rely heavily on technology tools that involve electronic communication to reach your
students and stakeholders. It is also very important that you collaborate with your grade level
team as you plan and present topics to students and stakeholders. Technology will heavily aide in
this endeavor. Keep in mind that flipping the classroom is a great way to reach today’s students.
Below you will encounter several simulated emails that must be answered as if you are directly
writing back to the sender. These simulated emails were sent from a parent, a colleague, an
administrator, and a student. Make sure you carefully think about how you will respond and what
tech-tools you will employ to best meets the needs of the problem presented. Your response will
be directly correlated to the (T.I.P.) project and the tech-know skills you acquired. A very
detailed email response to the sender with live links to your Google site is a requirement for this
project. Prepare a well formatted document that addresses each email below. Each response
email should be written as if you are speaking with the email sender personally. Separate each
email response with a clear title and a separate page for each response. This makes it easier to
grade and read… SO, I want only 1 document that will be several pages long with many clear
titles and great details and tested live links. For example: the second page of your document will
be “A Parent email” and so on… Finally you will answer about 15 questions in narrative form
about your experience.
1. A Parent Email:
 Hello Ms. Taylor,
I am writing this email to you to let you know that I am very happy my daughter Katheryn
is in your class. I love being involved in her studies and would really like to get involved
in the classroom this year. What is the best way that I can keep in touch with you and
keep up-to-date with the weekly homework? Do you have a preferred way for me to
contact you if I have questions? Do you post homework on a blog or social media
website? How will you contact me in the event of an emergency? Do you have a BYOD
program at your school and should I send a tablet with Katheryn? I appreciate your
timely response and hope you are having a nice week.
Signed,
Katheryn’s Mother – Susan Patrick

2. The Science Lesson Plan:
 Hello Third Grade Team:
I am sending you the agreed upon Science lesson we are all delivering this week. It is
very clear that we are in need of tech resource to make this lesson a 21st century activity.
As a member of the science team, please go through the lesson/activity below and find
media resources. I think we are going to need to make a YouTube video presentation to
best illustrate how this activity can be done. Maybe you should make a car that moves.
Maybe a picture presentation will help… Either way we need something to make this
lesson successful. Please keep me updated on your progress and review the lesson below.
Signed,
Team Leader Science – Mr. Smith
Proposed Science Activity in need of Media:
Objectives: Students will be able to formulate a model to show force, gravity, and
velocity.
Activity: What makes things move? How can you design a car that moves on its own?
Start by making a car with wheels that turn smoothly. Dowels and binder clips make
good axles and bearings. One person from each group comes to the table to get the
supplies needed to construct their simple machine. Students have a copy of "Models and
Designs" to get ideas. The most important factor is their simple machines must roll. The
wheels must turn. After their vehicle is constructed, students will predict whether their
vehicle will travel further with the quarter or the penny. Then they will increase the
steepness of the ramp by putting more books underneath one end. Students write
predictions in activity log. After making predictions, students will follow the rest of the
directions recording their observations. Compare and contrast the length the vehicle
travels with the quarter and with the penny. Explain. Describe what force changed the
velocity of this simple machine
3. An Email from Principal:
 Hello Teachers,
I hope your first week of school is going very well. I would like to remind you that we are
having our open house next week and our parents will be expecting great things from
you. Make sure you are preparing your digital welcome presentations and signing
interested parents up as classroom volunteers via your electronic communication tools.
As a reminder we are a paperless school, so all resources are made available to parents
through your technology know-how resources. Also, please email me a direct link to your
website or blog so that I can see what sorts of innovative things you are doing in your
classrooms.

4. A Personalized Learning Request:
 Hello Math Teachers,
As you may know we need to pay special attention to some of the activities that grab
student’s attention. I have seen some variation of the students test scores so far and
would like our math team to work to not only to address the whole class, but also the
individual students. Please evaluate some apps and give me your feedback about what
you think works best. It can be anything to get the students involved and motivated for the
math lesson and for at home practice as well.
Signed,
South District S.T.E.M. Director – Ms. Krista
5. From Your Student Jordan:
 Hello Ms. Taylor
I am having a hard time understanding the science lesson you covered today about space
and whether it is infinite or not. Can you give me the link to your website/blog again? I
thought you had some good link on there? Also what iPad apps can I use to learn more
about space and the universe? Does Hubble have a website? Do you have any good
YouTube videos that you created that may help me as this has my head spinning? What
about something on twitter or social media that I can follow that may also help me? Can
you make something like a picture presentation on Pinterest to help me better understand
the subject?
Signed,
Your Student- Jordan W.

VIII. DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENTS AND THEIR RUBRICS
Key Assessment Assignments
Key assessments for each education major are integrated throughout various courses in
the Undergraduate Teacher Education Program and document teacher candidates’
acquisition/mastery of standards. Therefore, it is important that you do your best work on the
key assessments.
Key assessments are graded by the instructors teaching the courses in which the
assessments are integrated. Instructors grade the key assessments using the required rubrics.
Grades of 80-89 meet standards, and grades of 90-100 exceed standards. Grades of 79 or less do
not meet standards. Your instructor will enter the data (i.e., didn’t meet, met, exceeded) for the
standards into the online Key Assessment System (ASSESS) at the time that course grades are
submitted. Please note that reflection is part of the key assessment assignments.
If you fail to meet standards (i.e., earning a grade of B- or higher) on a key
assessment, you must remediate the key assessment with the course instructor. You have
one eight-week term to revise and resubmit the key assessment for instructor re-grading
using the required rubric. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL KEY ASSESSMENTS THAT
DIDN’T MEET STANDARDS MUST BE REMEDIATED BEFORE YOU WILL
QUALIFY FOR INTERNSHIP.
Once you successfully remediate the key assessment, the course instructor will enter the
data in ASSESS using the edit function in order to change your rating from does not meet to
meets or exceeds standards. The course instructor also indicates in the comments section of
ASSESS that the key assessment was remediated. PLEASE NOTE THAT REMEDIATION
OF THE KEY ASSESSMENT DOES NOT CHANGE THE COURSE GRADE.
There are NO key assessments for this course.
Course Assignments: (online students - see due date in blackboard, ground students - see your instructor for
due dates) See Weekly schedule

EDUC | EECP 3330
Classroom Management Strategies for Lesson Plan Integration
I. Teacher Behaviors
A. Classroom Management
1. Assertiveness (Canter & Canter, 1996) – Deliver lessons clearly, with confidence and
enthusiasm. Demonstrate consistency in expectations and enforcement of rules and
consequences.
2. Avoid satiation (Kounin, 1977) – Avoid student boredom from too much time spent
on one topic or activity.
3. Group alert (Kounin, 1977; FPMS, 2002) – Develop and implement a system to
obtain students’ attention and heighten awareness of expectations.
4. Momentum (Kounin, 1977) –Conduct even transitions among tasks in a lesson and
transitions between lessons. Opening and close lessons well.
5. Overlapping (Kounin, 1977; FPMS, 2002) – Demonstrate that you can instruct one
group of students while also supervising and assisting students who work
independently.
6. Smoothness (Kounin, 1977; FPMS, 2002) – Run lessons well, with even progress,
and without disruptions.
7. Student accountability (Kounin, 1977; Arends, 2004) – Hold students responsible
for their learning by regularly calling on them and keeping them actively involved in
the lesson.
8. Withitness (Kounin, 1977; FPMS, 2004) – Demonstrate that you know what is
happening in your classroom at all times by scanning the classroom for observation of
students’ behavior. Have “eyes in the back of your head.”
B. Praise and Encouragement
1. Praise is used with students to promote academic achievement (FPMS, 2002), while
encouragement is used promote social and emotional growth (Charles, 2002;
Edwards, 2000).
2. Specific praise (FPMS, 2002) and positive repetitions (Canter & Canter, 1992) –
Identify the student by name, deliver the praise or positive comment, and describe the
specific academic behavior or action that should be repeated. (e.g., “Juanita, Great,
you have the correct answer! I like the way that you lined up your numbers when you
added your math problem.)
3. Age appropriate praise (Canter, 1992) or low-key praise (FPMS, 2002) – Provide
praise that is acceptable to the age/grade level of the students. The praise may need to
be quite or low-key.
EDUC EECP 3330
1-1-2016
27
4. Authentic praise (FPMS, 2002) or genuine praise (Canter, 1992) – Deliver praise in
a way that students know it comes from your heart; it’s meaningful.
5. Conditional praise (FPMS, 2002) – Deliver the praise after the specific behavior has
been accomplished; thus, it is based on a condition being met.
6. Proximity praise (Canter, 1992) or praise for compliance (FPMS, 2002) – Identify
the student by name, deliver the praise or positive comment, and describe the specific
behavior or action that should be repeated so that the whole class can hear and
comply with the behavior.
7. Encouragement (Dreikurs, 1972) – Encouraging statements imply respect and
confidence in the student. Phrase the encouragement statement so that it is student
centered and simultaneously encourages repetition of the action or behavior and the
student’s self-confidence. (e.g., “You cleaned up your materials on time. It helps us
all get to lunch on time.”)
8. Ripple effect (Kounin, 1977) – One student’s poor behavior can cause others to
misbehave, so misbehavior must be stopped promptly.
9. Teacher control of group praise (FPMS, 2002) – Explain to the students how
encouraging misbehaving students has a negative effect on the class.
II. Structuring Students’ Behaviors
A. Rules
1. Rules are specific statements for observable student behavior written in positive
terms that are few in number (Canter & Canter, 1996; Jones, 1987). They should be
agreed upon, printed, and enforced with reasonable consequences. Never accept
excuses for bad behavior (Glasser, 1969).
2. Explain the rules; give the rationale (Canter & Canter, 1996).
3. Teach the rules (Canter & Canter, 1992).
B. Routines
1. Routines are procedure for the classroom such as how to collect papers, how to line
up for recess, how communication should be handled, etc. (Jones, 1987). (see
Everston, Emmer, & Worsham for full blog of types of routines and strategies)
C. Consequences
1. Logical consequences (Dreikurs, 1972) – The results that follow from behavior
should directly follow the nature of the behavior and be appropriate for the behavior.
For example, if you don’t where a coat and it is 40 degrees outside, the logical
consequence is that you will be cold. Logical consequences applied in the classroom
follow this principle.
2. Following the classroom rules brings learning, good grades, and other rewards, which
are known as positive consequences (Canter & Canter, 1992). Poor behavior brings
logical consequences such as finishing work at home or being excluded from other
activities, which are known as negative consequences (Canter & Canter, 1992).
3. Students must have full knowledge of the consequences for behaviors in advance
(Canter & Canter, 1992).
4. Natural consequences (Zirpoli, 2005) – Positive consequences for appropriate
behavior may naturally occur in the classroom and my not need to be structured with
a token economy (e.g., well done work being hung on the bulleting board).
5. Discipline hierarchy (Canter & Canter, 1992) – Consequences must be listed in
order, with each consequence becoming progressively more unpleasant. The range is
EDUC EECP 3330
1-1-2016
28
typically one (e.g., verbal warning) to five (e.g., sent to the administrator) and
includes a severe clause (e.g., sent to the administrator) to skip to for the most severe
behavior.
6. Consistency – Be consistent in applying consequences. Use them every time students
disrupt the class (Canter & Canter, 1992).
III. Handling Disruptive Behaviors (alphabetical order)
A. Contingency contracting (Zirpoli, 2005) – The teacher and student develop a written
contract for behavioral expectations and specify specific “target behaviors” (p. 211) and
consequences.
B. Functional assessment and Positive behavioral support (Zirpoli, 2005) – A detailed
assessment and treatment plan required by the Individuals with Disabilities Act to assist
students by altering settings and supporting students to increase their skills thereby
helping them with behavioral challenges. (see Zirpoli for detailed explanation of
assessment and classroom implementation)
C. Mistaken goals (Dreikurs, Grunwald, & Pepper, 1998) – Students are motivated by goal
behavior. Four of these goals in the classroom are: attention, power, revenge, and
avoidance. These goals help explain student behavior and can be used to correct student
misbehavior.
D. Move in – Younger students who continue to disrupt need to be reminded of the choices
they are making. Move in and use the discipline hierarchy (Canter & Canter, 1992).
E. Move out – Older students who continue to disrupt need to be reminded of the choices
they are making by moving out with them. Step outside the door and remind them of the
next step in the discipline hierarchy (Canter & Canter, 1992).
F. Physical proximity (Canter & Canter, 1992) or proximity control (Zirpoli, 2005) –
Move closer to the student, remain calm, and clearly communicate expectations.
G. Problem solve – Meet with the student one-to-one using guidelines provided by the
Canters (1993).
H. Response Cost (Zirpoli, 2005) – Used with a token economy, the teacher removes tokens
from the students for predetermined reasons which have been explained in advance.
I. Stay calm – Take a deep breath if you need to; count to five. Use a steady, even tone of
voice when speaking. (Canter & Canter, 1992)
J. Time out (Zirpoli, 2005; Weinstein & Mignano, 2003) – There are many versions of time
out; the type selected must match the needs of the student in order to be an effective
intervention. The general definition of time out is to remove the student from the setting
where there is positive reinforcement for a set period of time, and the student is returned
contingent upon appropriate behavior. (see Zirpoli for full blog of types of time out) The
standard rule is not to exceed time out periods of more than one minute per year of age
for the child, and never more than ten minutes.
K. Token economy (Zirpoli, 2005) – Tokens, such as marks, points, stickers, etc., can be
used to reinforce appropriate behaviors. These tokens are then redeemed for
predetermined privileges or prizes at a specified time based on a preset schedule.
L. Use a “desist” – Identify the student by name, identify the inappropriate behavior, tell
the student to stop, identify the correct behavior (FPMS, 2002).
M. Use the “look” – Gaze directly at the student; make eye contact that shows disapproval
(Canter & Canter, 1992)
EDUC EECP 3330
1-1-2016
29
N. Use the offender’s name – Use offending student(s)’ name: “I want everyone to read
page 35, including Mary and Juanita.” (Canter & Canter, 1992)
O. Use proximity praise (Canter & Canter, 1992)
IV. Caring Classroom (alphabetical order)
A. Belonging (Dreikurs & Cassel, 1972) – Students need to feel that they belong in the
class, are valued, and are members of the group.
B. Greetings – Greet students at the door. Say something personal. (Canter & Canter, 1992:
Wong,1998)
C. Interest inventory – Discover students’ interests with a survey. Use the information to
help build relationships with your students. (Canter & Canter, 1992)
D. Safety – Provide an environment where students feel safe, including the physical
arrangement of furniture and space.
E. Send cards – Send get well cards to students who are ill (Canter & Canter, 1992).
F. Trust (Charles, 2002) – Build a caring relationship by standing by your word. Do what
you say you are going to do and students will trust you.
V. Democratic Values
A. Democratic classroom (Dreikurs & Cassel, 1972) – You and students make important
decisions about the rules, routines and consequences in the classroom. It is not
permissiveness where students rule, but where the teacher guides and facilitates the
students’ development.
B. Multicultural classroom (Nieto, 2004) – You respect diversity in the classroom and
hold high expectations for all learners.
C. Accommodate learners with modifications (Everston, Emmer, & Worsham, 2006) –
You adapt explanations of rules and routines for special learners (e.g., English Speakers
of Other Languages, Exceptional Education Students) and adapt application of them as
directed (i.e., Individualized Educational Plans). (see Everston, Emmer, & Worsham for
strategies)

Appendix D
Undergraduate Teacher Education Programs’ Policies
A. Attendance
As a teacher candidate in this course, you are expected to model the behavior of a
professional teacher. Tardiness/absenteeism is not acceptable. Teacher candidates are expected to
actively participate in class blogs and to have assignments completed as required on the calendar
of weekly requirements. Teacher candidates enrolled in an online course must log into the course
regularly to demonstrate active participation.
If illness occurs or an emergency arises, the teacher candidate is responsible for
contacting the instructor of the course within one week of the absence. The teacher candidate is
responsible for the academic consequences of absences from class, including but not limited to:
obtaining class notes and/or handouts from a classmate and, with permission from the instructor
of the course, making up any missed work or assignments.
B. Code of Ethics
As a teacher candidate in this program you will have many opportunities to practice the
Teacher Code of Ethics in your state. Please refer to the following websites for more
information.
Florida:
Florida Department of Education. (2005). Code of ethics – Education profession. Retrieved from
http://www.fldoe.org/edstandards/code_of_ethics.asp
Nevada:
Title 23 - Public Officers and Employees. (n.d.). Code of ethical standards. Retrieved from
http://www.leg.state.nv.us/nrs/NRS-281.html#NRS281Sec481
C. Academic Misconduct
Please refer to the Undergraduate Students Catalog for information on Conduct,
Academic Honesty, and Integrity. In particular, teacher candidates must tend to the following.
The university is an academic community and expects its students to manifest a
commitment to academic integrity through rigid observance of standards for academic honesty.
The university can function properly only when its members adhere to clearly established goals
and values. Accordingly, the academic standards are designed to ensure that the principles of
academic honesty are upheld.
The following acts violate the academic honesty standards.
1. Cheating: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or
study aids in any academic exercise
2. Fabrication: intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or
citation in an academic exercise
3. Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help
another to violate any provision of this code
4. Plagiarism: the adoption or reproduction of ideas, words, or statements of another person as
one’s own without proper acknowledgment
Students are expected to submit tests and assignments that they have completed without
aid or assistance from other sources. Using sources to provide information without giving credit
to the original source is dishonest. Students should avoid any impropriety or the appearance
EDUC EECP 3330
1-1-2016
34
thereof in taking examinations or completing work in pursuance of their educational goals.
Students are expected to comply with the following academic standards.
1. Original Work
Assignments such as course preparations, exams, texts, projects, term papers, practicum,
etc., must be the original work of the student. Original work may include the thoughts and words
of another author. Entire thoughts or words of another author should be identified using
quotation marks. At all times, students are expected to comply with the university and/or
program center’s recognized form and style manual and accepted citation practice and policy.
Work is not original when it has been submitted previously by the author or by anyone
else for academic credit. Work is not original when it has been copied or partially copied from
any other source, including another student, unless such copying is acknowledged by the person
submitting the work for the credit at the time the work is being submitted, or unless copying,
sharing, or joint authorship is an express part of the assignment. Exams and tests are original
work when no unauthorized aid is given, received, or used before or during the course of the
examination, re-examination, and/or remediation.
2. Referencing the Works of Another Author
All academic work submitted for credit or as partial fulfillment of course requirements
must adhere to each program center’s specific accepted reference manuals and rules of
documentation. Standards of scholarship require that the writer give proper acknowledgment
when the thoughts and words of another author are used. Students must acquire a style manual
approved by their center and become familiar with accepted scholarly and editorial practice in
their program. Students’ work must comport with the adopted citation manual for their particular
center.
At Nova Southeastern University, it is plagiarism to represent another person’s work,
words, or ideas as one’s own without use of a center-recognized method of citation. Deviating
from center standards (see above) is considered plagiarism at Nova Southeastern University.
3. Tendering of Information
All academic work must be the original work of the student. Knowingly giving or
allowing one’s work to be copied, giving out exam questions or answers, or releasing or selling
term papers is prohibited.
4. Acts Prohibited
Students should avoid any impropriety or the appearance thereof, in taking examinations
or completing work in pursuance of their educational goals. Violations of academic
responsibility include, but are not limited to the following.
• Plagiarism
• Any form of cheating
• Conspiracy to commit academic dishonesty
• Misrepresentation
• Bribery in an attempt to gain an academic advantage
• Forging or altering documents or credentials
• Knowingly furnishing false information to the institution
Students in violation will be subjected to disciplinary action.
5. Additional Matters of Ethical Concern
Where circumstances are such as to place students in positions of power over university
personnel, inside or outside the institution, students should avoid any reasonable suspicion that
they have used that power for personal benefit or in a capricious or arbitrary manner.

D. Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) Policy for Undergraduate Teacher Education
Program
Each undergraduate course in the Abraham S. Fischler School of Education and Human
Services includes written assignments, in the language of instruction, that make up at least 25%
of the final course grade. Each course must contain at least eight (8) pages (approximately 2000
words) of writing, with faculty providing feedback on these assignments. Written assignments
can include, but are not limited to: essays, summaries, memos, lesson plans, journal entries, lab
reports, project proposals, progress reports, case studies, and project reviews.
Writing Remediation
While it is the teacher candidate’s responsible to demonstrate professional command of
the English language, both spoken and written, it is the responsibility of the instructor to score
assignments based on both content and writing skills and refer students lacking skills for
remediation. For any teacher candidate who demonstrates weaknesses in writing, the instructor
recommends that the candidate make an appointment at the Office of Academic Services to
receive assistance in strengthening the area of weakness. It is the teacher candidate’s
responsibility to follow up on the recommendation from the instructor, make the appointment at
the Office of Academic Services, remediate whatever area(s) need to be strengthened, and report
back to the instructor of the course about how the remediation is progressing.
E. Americans with Disabilities Act
Please refer to the Undergraduate Student Catalog for information on this topic.
F. FCAT Application and Preparation
The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FACT) is part of Florida’s effort to
improve teaching and learning. The purpose of the FCAT is to assess student achievement based
on the Sunshine State Standards (SSS), and results are used to compare student achievement
across the state of Florida. (For more information about the FCAT, please see
http://fcat.fldoe.org/) As you learn the content of this course, consider methods for integrating
Bloom’s Taxonomy to foster thinking processes in the students with whom you work, who can
then apply these thinking techniques in preparation for the FCAT.
G. Last Day to Withdraw from Course
Students/teacher candidates may initiate a withdrawal from a course after the first two
weeks from the start of the course. Students may withdraw from a course with no financial
refund or credit up until the end of the week following the halfway point of the semester or term,
depending on the course length. For example, students may withdraw up until the end of the fifth
week of a term for an 8-week course or up until the end of the ninth week of a semester for a 16week course. For exact dates, please refer to the Academic Calendars section of the
Undergraduate Student Catalog. For further assistance, contact your Academic Advisor.
H. Course/Instructor Evaluation
Course evaluations facilitate the collection of feedback from students/teacher candidates
about their classes—how they feel about course content, instructors’ effectiveness,
appropriateness of textbook selection, and other aspects. All evaluations are confidential and
EDUC EECP 3330
1-1-2016
36
anonymous. Students are urged to be honest and constructive in their remarks. The course
evaluation process is conducted completely online. Students must have an NSU email account to
access the course evaluation website. Students/teacher candidates may fill out online course
evaluations beginning 14 days prior to the start of the session, term, or semester’s exam week.
Evaluations remain open to students for seven days.

A Parent Email:
Hello Ms. Felix,
I am writing this email to you to let you know that I am very happy my daughter Katheryn is in
your class. I love being involved in her studies and would really like to get involved in the
classroom this year. What is the best way that I can keep in touch with you and keep up-to-date
with the weekly homework? Do you have a preferred way for me to contact you if I have
questions? Do you post homework on a blog or social media website? How will you contact me
in the event of an emergency? I appreciate your timely response and hope you are having a nice
week. Signed, Katheryn’s Mother – Susan Patrick
Response:
Good afternoon Ms. Patrick,
I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying Katheryn’s placement in my class. I am also
enjoying having her in my class! She adds so much life to the classroom and loves to get
involved in our class discussions. I am overjoyed to hear that you want to get involved in our
classroom this year; parent involvement is so important in the success of children.
1. The best way to keep up-to-date with Katheryn’s homework: Our class website:
https://sites.google.com/site/educ3330msdesautels/ -On this site, homework will be posted
weekly, along with live links to videos and pictures for the students to look at. This is an easy
way for you to stay involved as a parent, and for Katheryn to easily access everything she needs
to know. Occasionally, on the website, questions will be posted for homework that will then
need to be answered and posted onto our class Twitter page. Our class Twitter:
https://twitter.com/ThirdGradeFelix -This is a super easy way for the students to post their
answers to discussion questions, and this allows them to see other students’ responses and feed
off of those.
2. Best way to contact me: Email: [email protected] It is best to reach me on school
days before 6pm Cell: 945.262.XXXX I do not mind parents contacting me on my cell for
emergencies! Twitter: The twitter link I provided is a great way to contact me for quick
questions. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you by calling the number you provided
on the class information sheet. I hope this was able to answer all of your questions! Have a great
week, Ms. Patrick.
Sincerely,
B. Felix
