is
an individualized project. In fact, the majority of its content is comprised of
your own work for this benchmark assignment: the Course Project. Keep in mind
that this project is research-based, which means that you will need to search
various educational materials (i.e. course textbook, scholarly and academic
journals or magazines, etc.) to find current information concerning your chosen
topic. However, you will not submit this information in the form of a research
paper; instead, the information that you find will then be applied to your
project idea using the form of communication most suited to the nature of your
topic.
Example: If your
topic were Substitute Folders, you would conduct research to find related
information (i.e. needs of substitutes, tips for planning for substitutes, etc.).
After you collect and review relevant information, you could create a
Substitute Folder that incorporates the findings of your research.
Project Ideas
The purpose of
the Course Project is to create a resource that would be useful to an educator
(i.e. teacher, administrator, etc.). Therefore, you may choose a topic anywhere
within the broad field of education as the basis of your idea, but keep in mind
that a lesson plan or unit plan is not acceptable as a Project. Your
idea will determine the format in which your Project will be delivered (i.e. a
paper, a presentation, documents for a notebook, etc.). It may also determine
how much research you will need to incorporate into the development of your
Project assignments. A minimum of 3 sources is required.
Possible Project
ideas include:
- A
professional development plan for other teachers
- A seating
arrangement study
- A project
showing diversity
These are just
ideas to help guide you. You may choose a different topic.
Your Project
will be evaluated based on the Summative Assessment (attached in the Course
Project Instructions); therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the
assessment and refer to it when completing each part of the Project. The
components of your Project-related assignments are listed and explained.
