Students learn in a variety of settings and environments. Group learning creates an environment of engagement and motivation. It gives students a chance to learn from each other in a cooperative learning setting. The arrangement and layout of the classroom should provide opportunities to work productively and cooperatively to achieve learning goals.
In this assignment, you will create Section 6 “Classroom Arrangements and Cooperative Learning”.
Based on your own research, use a digital tool or other appropriate strategy to design a classroom arrangement for your selected grade level and the students outlined in the “Class Profile.” Consider your experiences in your field experience classroom, and conduct an Internet search to identify a variety of classroom environments. Take note of the materials found in each environment and the physical arrangement of the classrooms. You may consider using one of the classroom design websites in topic Resources to design your classroom. Your design should create a learning environment that focuses on creating opportunities for group and cooperative learning.
Your classroom design should include:
Classroom layout (i.e., where the desks/tables will be placed) that facilitates group learning.
Resources and technological tools, and where they will be located.
Traffic flow consistent with age-appropriate physical and social development.
Equal access to the room’s resources and technological tools for students of all ability levels.
In addition, write a 200-300 word rationale that explains how the classroom arrangement:
Minimizes distractions and maximizes classroom time and space to facilitate students working productively.
Encourages cooperative learning groups that foster respectful and safe communication to cooperatively achieve learning goals.
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Prepare a monitoring instrument to demonstrate how you will manage the progress

Prepare a monitoring instrument to demonstrate how you will manage the progress and accountability of the action plan you created in the assignment. The monitoring instrument should be clearly aligned to the Action Plan without extraneous information. This is a focused monitoring tool. You must upload your monitoring instrument and have at least two monitoring checkpoints to receive credit for this assignment. Finally, in order to complete this assignment, you need to:
Develop a monitoring instrument, such as a walk-through form or checklist, specific to the implementation of the instructional improvement plan.
Establish intervals to monitor the plan to keep coaching on track (for example, a timeline for when you will be completing the walk-throughs).
Make sure it clearly aligned to goals of plan, Focused, continuous cycle of improvement (person responsible for overseeing each intervention, monitoring dates, processes for communicating, means of receiving and providing feedback), Well developed, easy to use, No extraneous elements, 3 intervals

Using the adult learning strategies and your learning from TSC1, facilitate a team to develop a collaborative instructional improvement plan (action plan) from, or based on, your school or district improvement plan. This can be for content, department, or grade level improvement, including coaching experiences designed to support improvements in classroom instructional practices in your school, grade level, or department. Your protégé teacher MUST be part of this group. This plan could also include the professional learning goals your protégé has set for herself/himself as long as it is aligned with the school improvement plan. Your plan must include:
The school’s or district’s vision and mission statements are listed at the top of the plan.
Goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, and realistic with target dates for completion (SMART Goals).
New and challenging tasks for the teachers
Actions defined that will enable the teachers to demonstrate, practice, and deepen new learning.
Identification of a willing protege and/or teachers for practice
Identification of resources used to practice
A schedule agreed upon time to practice

s you learned in Week 4, federal law states that all placement decisions must be made by each child’s case study committee, which minimally includes the child’s parent, regular teacher, and special education teacher, as well as an administrator (or representative). You also learned that all children are entitled to receive instruction in the least restrictive environment (LRE).
You have likely had some experience in classrooms yourself—either through your own children or through conversations with teachers and/or parents—in which children with differing needs were receiving instruction. You may have listened to descriptions of situations in which the perception is that one or two children took time away from the other children due to their unique needs. You may have listened to other perspectives in which the perception is that a child’s placement in the grade-appropriate classroom was required, acceptable, fair, and valuable.
While the placement of the child may be open to discussion, it can be agreed that all children must be properly prepared for middle and high school. As stated in the Minnesota Graduation Standards, “Elementary and middle school students have to master preparatory content standards.” Proper preparation for future education is a challenge faced by all educators and parents. This is something that must be continually evaluated to ensure the success of all students.
For this Discussion, use the grouping format below to determine your assigned perspective. The hypothetical children are in grades 1–3.
Candidates who have a last name starting with A–L: Write a letter from the perspective of a family member of a child with mild to moderate special needs, thanking the classroom teacher for working with the child in the regular classroom.
For both of these posts, review the Minnesota Graduation Standards and Profile of Learning Standards (see this week’s resources). Discuss how the current placement of the child will either hinder or support the child’s future education. Use the resources to validate the issues.

Using the resources, select one category of exceptionality. Use a digital tool such as Canva (or any other online tool with which you are comfortable) to create an infographic (or other creative representation) that explains your selected category of exceptionality.
Along with your infographic, post your written response to the following:
Define the category using your own words.
Imagine a child with the category of exceptionality you selected. Discuss the benefits and challenges for the student, family, and teachers of teaching this child in an inclusive setting.
Explain how two students with this exceptionality may perform differently and what accommodations will allow them to perform successfully. Search online for an organization that supports teachers and families of students with this exceptionality. Include the URL for that organization in your initial post.

For this assignment, you will create a presentation for parents explaining to them the referral, eligibility, and service processes. You may use PowerPoint or any other presentation application. You will start work on the assignment here in Week 4, and then submit it in Week 5.
Prepare for this assignment as follows: Arrange a time to interview an education professional who works with at least one student who has been identified as eligible for special education. You may conduct this interview in person, by phone, or through a free video conferencing tool such as Zoom or Google Meet.
