You are in charge of managing a local softball team, one in which there is a lot of turnover. While you have a couple of regulars, much of the team members come and go frequently. When it comes to organizing games, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep track of the current members, so you decide to write a small program to help you track the current players.Write a modularized program that will utilize a main menu to control the program’s functions and a list to store the members of your team.

Culture, Natural Selection and the Human Brain Consider how culture has influenced our behavior and particularly our biology? For example, treating childhood diabetes allows these children to grow up, have children and pass the gene on to their offspring, also in the gene pool. A hundred years children would die of diabetes and never reproduce, thereby never contributing the trait to the gene pool and reducing the number in the gene pool. Because of our ability to keep these children alive longer, we have changed our gene pool and subsequently, our biology. Now, use your own examples.

reflect on your small group instruction and discussion with your mentor teacher. Consider the following: How did the intervention plan support learning in the inclusive classroom? Describe how you meet your students’ needs in a way that promotes human flourishing. Provide specific examples from your implementation but include pseudonyms to protect student identity. If the lesson was cross-curricular, how did the integrated content areas engage students?

 
Unit planning is a time-consuming process but necessary to provide an overview of the collective lessons. Taking time to plan the alignment of standards and objectives, materials, technology, and assessments is important to a well-structured classroom. In addition, upon identifying students’ needs in an inclusive classroom, as well as aligning content standards, strategies may be created to benefit all students. Teachers are then able to begin the implementation process. Implementing identified intervention strategies during instruction will not only help to meet the students’ needs, but also help teachers to identify where to monitor and adjust instruction as needed. Planning, implementing, evaluating, and planning again is an ongoing, cyclical process when working with all students.
Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Part 1: Collaborate with Mentor Teacher
Meet with your mentor teacher to discuss the student/s you will be working with to implement your Topic 3 Clinical Field Experience B intervention plan. Review the needs of each student, including any IEP, 504, behavior plan, or other relevant documentation. Collaborate with your mentor teacher to determine each of your roles during the lesson and how you will work together to meet the diverse learning needs of students in the classroom. Discuss how you will ensure students are engaged and mastering the learning content while implementing your intervention plan.  
Part 2: Implement Strategies and Interventions
With your mentor’s permission, work with the same student/s on the lesson discussed in Topic 3 Clinical Field Experience B or a current lesson chosen by the mentor teacher. Implement the engagement strategies and interventions suggested in Clinical Field Experience B.
In addition, discuss your upcoming 3-day unit plan assignment in this topic with your mentor teacher. This assignment is based on the standards and learning objectives from the Topic 2 Social Studies and the Arts assignment. Ask for any suggestions that could help you in completing the Social Studies and the Arts: 3-day Unit Plan.
Spend any remaining field experience hours observing or assisting the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Part 3: Reflection
reflect on your small group instruction and discussion with your mentor teacher. Consider the following:

How did the intervention plan support learning in the inclusive classroom? Describe how you meet your students’ needs in a way that promotes human flourishing. Provide specific examples from your implementation but include pseudonyms to protect student identity.
If the lesson was cross-curricular, how did the integrated content areas engage students? If it was not a cross-curricular lesson, how could integrating other content areas better engage students with this lesson?
What guidance or feedback did your mentor teacher provide you on your upcoming 3-day unit plan? How will you incorporate what you observed in your mentor’s classroom and/or their feedback into your unit plan?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.
Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form in the last topic. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center.

 If given the choice, would you purchase an unusual car such as a hearse for everyday use? Is this a form of social deviance and how is that normally controlled by society? How is it different from a crime? Briefly research the difference between the Sociological, Psychological and Biological explanations of deviance and explain how they each would explain people’s violation of norms.
