8. A classroom teacher is working with a diverse student population. One student, Kamal, has a physical disability and uses a wheelchair. Another student, Jack, has a hearing impairment (for which he uses a hearing aid) and an expressive language disorder. A third student, Maria, lives in a house where there is chronic food insecurity, and she typically comes to school hungry, pays little attention in class, and sleeps.

Unit 4 Summary Quiz 1. Which theories postulate that intelligence consists of numerous factors rather than a single entity? Gardner's multiple intelligence theory 2. According to Skinner's operant conditioning model, both positive and negative reinforcement increase the likelihood of the desired behavior appearing again in the future. True 3. What is the concept of metacognition? Students thinking about their own thinking 4. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is important teachers to understand. Describe how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs impacts a child’s educational experience. Maslow's theory postulated that all humans have multiple needs. The most basic needs are physiological (food, water, and shelter) and safety needs. People also have social needs (the need for love) and the need for respect (love needs). All of these needs must be satisfied before students are able to focus their attention toward maximizing their potential (the selfactualization need). Students who are hungry, tired, or feel unsafe cannot focus on their schoolwork. 5. Which theory of learning most closely aligns with cooperative and collaborative learning? Constructivism 6. Which theory of learning most closely aligns with direct instruction? Behaviorism 7. A teacher asks students, "Who was the first person to walk on the moon?" Which level of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy is the teacher asking students to use? Remembering

8. A teacher who wants to measure the progress of the entire class as a whole should use a norm-referenced assessment. False 9. Before beginning a lesson on the three branches of government, a social studies teacher wants to find out how much his or her students already know about the subject. This teacher should administer a diagnostic assessment. True 10. The learning context is a third-grade class with 22 students. The subject is spelling. Depending on the learning theory a teacher ascribes to, there are numerous ways to practice learning to spell correctly. Match the instructional activity with the appropriate learning theory. The students are to write each spelling word five times each day. Behavioral Learning Theory The students are given three different ways they can complete their spelling homework: (1) write the words five times daily, (2) practice writing the words at home using shaving cream and have their parents email a picture of the work to the teacher, or (3) work in pairs spelling words orally to each other during spelling time. Constructivism 11. A student with a writing disability dictates his answers on a midterm examination. Supportive A student with advanced technology skills completes an assessment in a graphic design course using a paper and pencil test. Not Supportive A student with dyslexia reads a U.S. history test rather than having the test read to her. Not Supportive A verbally gifted student meets with a teacher to explain her understanding of the French Revolution rather than taking a multiple-choice test. Supportive 12. A music teacher wants to assess the progress each student in the band has made from the beginning to the end of the year. As part of this assessment, he records each band member playing an individual piece of music at the end of every month. Which kind of assessment strategy would be suitable, given the teacher's goal? Select all that apply. Criterion-referenced assessment and performance or authentic assessment 13. The context is a ninth-grade algebra class with 27 students. The primary focus in this unit has been on linear equations. Would an instructional based on constructivist theory be appropriated for this class? Would a different technique and learning theory be better? Explain your answer. Constructivist theory posits that students need to create their own understanding. While some students might thrive in a learning atmosphere where they are encouraged to determine unique solutions, others would feel ill-prepared to learn these skills. Ideally, students would have the option of using constructivist learning theory to create their own unique understanding, but they should be supported with direct instruction as well. Direct instruction is associated with behaviorism. Behavioral learning theory focuses on students being taught skills directly. Research suggests that students benefit from learning specific techniques to solve mathematical problems.

Unit 5 Summary Quiz 1. Ms. Phan teaches first grade. At the beginning of mathematics, she gives each student a pencil and piece of paper. She then projects a multistep subtraction problem for all of the students to solve on their piece of paper while working quietly. This is an effective strategy for this first-grade class. False 2. There has been a debate about whether dual language and other types of languages immersion programs are appropriate for kindergarten student. Many believe that kindergarten is too young for a child to learn a second language, and that languages should not be introduced until sixth grade. a. Identify the language theory that supports teaching children a second language at young age. b. Describe why the theorist of that theory thinks it is appropriate for children to learn languages at a young age. Chomsky’s theory on language development (Nativist/Innatist Perspective) Children are born with the ability to learn language. He (Chomsky) believed individuals have a language acquisition device (LAD)—an instinctive mental device that allows individuals to acquire and produce language. He believed all languages include the same basic elements. The LAD allows children to learn any language. He believed there was a critical period (approximately birth to age eight) that a child is most able to learn a language, and after this age, it is much more difficult to learn a language. Chomsky’s theory on language development (Nativist/Innatist Perspective) is the language theory that supports teaching children a second language at a young age. Chomsky believed that children are born with the ability to learn language and that individuals have a LAD that allows them to acquire and produce language. He also believed that all languages include the same basic elements, and the LAD allows children to learn any language. Also, his belief was that there was a critical period (approximately birth to age eight) that a child is most able to learn a language, and after this age, it is much more difficult to learn a language. Therefore, Chomsky’s theory supports children learning a second language at a young age

3. Dr. Williams, a tenth-grade social studies teacher, begins each week with an open seminar. The students choose current events that they would like to discuss and are given the opportunity to voice their opinions in a respectful way. Which learning theory does this strategy align with? Humanism

4. Mrs. Yoshida teaches at a school that focuses on using a cognitivist approach in the classroom and incorporates peer coaching. Mrs. Yoshida observes a colleague teaching a math lesson consisting of a paper and pencil pretest, a brief video demonstrating division, and the students working independently to complete division problems. The teacher walks around the classroom while the students work but does not interact with them. The class ends with the teacher collecting students' finished problems. What feedback could Mrs. Yoshida provide this teacher to help him incorporate more of a cognitivist approach? Include at least two suggestions in your response. Mrs. Yoshida could advise the teacher to connect division to prior knowledge, such as multiplication. A visual with the vocabulary and steps to solving a division problem could be posted. He could then scaffold by modeling, having the students solve problems, and do a think, pair, share, where they share their solutions with a classmate and then share out their solutions to the class as the teacher guides them. The teacher could then have the students working in small groups to collaborate on some division problems together while the teacher walks around listening and providing support as needed....
