What are the strengths of the existing literature? Are there any gaps in the existing literature? Are there any areas where the existing literature can be extended?

Based on a group interview of students from Year 3 Vs Year 4 linking to a semi-structured interview.

Once you have worked through how you propose to collect and analyse the data needed to answer your research questions, you can start thinking about the potential relevance of your proposed research in Part 3. As with your methodology proposal, you should refer to the module materials and the literature you have reviewed in evaluating the relevance of your proposed research. It is important that you cite these materials in your discussion in the third part of your EMA. You will find notes about the process of evaluating your project in ‘Writing up the EMA – Part 3: Evaluation of the potential relevance of your proposed study’ in this Project Guide. You should read these notes before completing Part 3 of the grid.

What societal changes during the twentieth century facilitated the move towards equal opportunity in education?

Continuing Struggles for Equality of Educational Opportunity

The significance of historical study has long been debated in American Education. The inclusion of historical study in the curriculum suggests that there is some concern for individuals to gain an understanding of the past in order to better understand the present.  He further encourages us to “understand our heritage, know our goals, and reorder our scale of national priorities.” It is in response to these challenges that this course will attempt to provide insight into the historical bases, which form the background of the American educational system. Pursuant to the goal of developing effective personnel for work in the urban schools, specific emphasis will be given to the understanding of the historical movements which can provide insight into enhancing the quality of education for the urban populace of society.

Milestone Two Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
You will first outline how different types of assessment data relate to each other within your classroom. You will then identify an area of challenge and analyze data to understand the trends that you have identified. Next, you will relate this to federal/state policy and explain why this area is important for policy goals. Finally, you will create a growth plan that will help you to monitor student progress and modify your instruction  to reach your outlined goals.
In this milestone you will identify an instructional challenge/area of concern within your classroom.
In this assignment you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
● Explain the connection between educational research, federal and state policy, data collection activities, and classroom instruction.
● Apply practical data analysis techniques to classroom data to inform classroom instruction.
● Explain the importance of measurement issues in the construction and use of educational assessments.

Compare and contrast the experiences of workers in the Thai shrimp industry with those in fruit and vegetable production in the United States. What similarities and differences do you see in their experiences?

Labor and the Food System

As you learned this week, there is a disjunction between the relatively low prices consumers pay for food in the global north, and the conditions under which people in the global south labor to bring us that food. We’re exploring this disjuncture in this week’s materials, focusing specifically on what Lorr refers to as the “bottom of the commodity chain.” In a minimum of two single-spaced pages, please respond to the following questions:

First, what is a commodity chain, and how does this conceptual device help us to better understand the social relations that undergird our food system?
Second, compare and contrast the experiences of workers in the Thai shrimp industry with those in fruit and vegetable production in the United States. What similarities and differences do you see in their experiences?
Third, while this week’s materials focused on two different sets of workers in two different countries, their experiences cannot be explained in national terms alone. How might you apply what you’ve learned thus far in the course about the development of the modern food system to explain the global economic factors shaping labor exploitation in Thailand and the United States?
Finally, who do you think bears responsibility for the plight of the workers in the global south, and why?

Critically analyse and justify which leadership theories you think respond best to the context of the case study .

This assessment has been set up to be checked by Turnitin, a tool which helps you check whether you have referenced correctly. You can submit your assessment task to Turnitin prior to the due date and Turnitin will give you an originality report. You may then make any changes that may be required and resubmit your final version by the due date.

Detailed information In Week 4, you will be presented with the details of a case study.

Specifically, you will:
• Explain how a leader might respond to the case study according to each leadership theory .
• Critically analyse and justify which leadership theories you think respond best to the context of the case study .
• Discuss how insights from this case study inform or modify your personal leadership theory.

Across Weeks 5-8, you will explore leadership theories as part of Theme 2: Examining Educational Leadership Theories;
the leadership theories covered by this assessment are:
• Adaptive
• Distributive
• Learning Centred
• Servant
• Authentic
The task requires you to analyse how each leadership theory guides leadership behaviours in response to the case study. Specifically, you will:
Explain how a leader might respond to the case study according to each leadership theory .
Critically analyse and justify which leadership theories you think respond best to the context of the case study .
