Student will complete a research proposal of 2-3 pages plus a title page and ref

Student will complete a research proposal of 2-3 pages plus a title page and references page for implementing a single subject research design with 1 to 4 participants (number dependent on the type of design selected).
The proposal should contain the research paragraph summarizing the intervention that will be used in the study, what it consists of, and how it has been used in previous research. You should include at least two references from journal articles.
The rest of the proposal should have sections outlining the proposed participants, settings, research design, dependent variable, independent variable, how interobserver agreement, treatment fidelity, and social validity will be assessed.
Participants can earn 5 bonus points on the assignment if they  create a graph of fictitious data to show what data from the study would look like if carried out that matches APA style. The assignment will be submitted in parts to allow the instructor to give feedback and for you to make corrections. 
Submission 1: Title page that identifies intervention that you will focus on and format document with running header. You may use one of the suggested interventions or may utilize a different intervention, but the instructor may contact you for more information after submission 1 if they have concerns about your intervention. (Suggested interventions: video prompting, least to most or most to least prompting, social stories, PECS, cover-copy-compare, parent training, discrete trial training)
Submission 2: In this submission you will create a reference page and write an introduction paragraph. Make any corrections to the title page and create references page with 2 references about the intervention you selected for submission 1  and also create a reference for the Richards book. These references should be single subject research studies in journals. You can use more than 2 references and the other references can be any type of article or book. Some good journals to look at would be Behavior Analysis in Practice, Journal of Behavior Education, Education and Treatment in Autism and Developmental Disabilities). For you introduction paragraph, you should summarize what your intervention is and describe previous research done on that intervention.
Submission 3: In this submission you will make any corrections and submit description of participants and setting for a single subject research study you are designing for the rest of the semester in this project. You should describe who your proposed participants are, description of any diagnosis, setting where the study would be conducted, who else is present in the setting.  Please note you are making this up. It is NOT reporting what was in the articles you wrote about for part one. 
Submission 4: Make any corrections and identify dependent and independent variables. Remember the dependent variable is the variable you are measuring/charting and should be observable, measurable, and clearly defined. The independent variable is the intervention. The dependent variable should also contain information about how you will measure it and collect data. The description of the independent variable should contain enough information about the intervention that it could be replication.
Submission 5: Make any corrections and identify procedures for IOA and treatment fidelity. Interobserver agreement is about consistently of measurement of the dependent variable. Treatment fidelity is about ensuring that the intervention is implemented correctly. A checklist of steps of the intervention  is typically the easiest way to measure treatment fidelity. This is the final proposal submission. Make sure you have all the previous submissions in the same document.

How can special educators and clas

Write 3500 words in response to the question:
How can special educators and classroom teachers provide effective classroom teaching aligned with small group or individual intervention (layered learning intervention) for students with disabilities?
You will consider:
Responsive teaching and educational casework processes
Professional skills and expertise of responsive classroom teachers and learning support teachers (special educators)
Evidence informed layered learning intervention (including embedded assessment in responsive teaching and educational casework)
What is this about?
The textbook for this unit provides a conceptualisation of how inclusive classroom teachers and special educators (or other educational caseworkers like educational psychologists) can work together to provide responsive classroom teaching complemented by more educational casework and appropriate small group or individual intervention. This is an attempt to bring together inclusive classroom teaching and special education, and thus use both professional approaches to provide the best possible education for students with disabilities. In this assessment task you are to start with the ideas in this book, Berman & Graham (2018) and explore them in reference to other academic and professional literature. You will probably have experience in which classroom teaching and specialist intervention operate as separate dimensions of education for a learner, and are not necessarily aligned, and thus the power of them both are diminished. Based on your reading and thinking, and your professional experience take this opportunity to generate ideas about how this can work in practice – think big!

A teacher’s ability to identify the students’ needs and intervene quickly is a v

A teacher’s ability to identify the students’ needs and intervene quickly is a vital component of ensuring all students receive the support they need. Much like a unit plan, intervention plans contain targeted learning objectives aligned to state standards and determine how the content will be taught and assessed over a span of several days.
Select one student with exceptionalities from your Topic 2 Field Experience or the “Class Profile,” Be sure to maintain confidentiality by using pseudonyms when identifying students in the field experience class. Create an intervention plan for the selected student using the “COE 3 Day Unit Plan Template.” Complete the unit plan using a MTSS approach, such as RTI, or the approach used by your field experience setting.
Complete all components of the template for the individual student. Assume the student’s grade and choose national or state content standards that are appropriate for that grade level. In the 3-day plan, include the following:
Minimum of 2-3 national or state content standards based on the student’s remediation needs and chosen grade level
Specific activities for each of the three days to target remediation of one or multiple standards, with at least one activity incorporating technology to ensure the accessibility and/or relevance for the student
An informal assessment for each of the three days intended to check student progress
One overall formal assessment to ensure full understanding of remedial standards
In a 100-250 words, justify how your plan creates a supportive learning environment that encourages self-advocacy, increases independence, and emphasizes the safe and ethical use of information and technology. Discuss how your unit plan reflects your MTSS approach and how the curriculum was modified to make it accessible for individuals with exceptionalities.
Support your findings with a minimum of one scholarly resource.
While APA format is not required for this assignment, solid academic writing is expected. Any in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
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.

Read the case study from this website: http://cases.coedu.usf.edu/TCases/Slnt%20prtcpnts.htm
Once you have familiarized yourself with the case study you would like to address please complete the following:
1. Write a paragraph that summarizes the issues.
2. Research the possible legal ramifications
3. Research 2 or 3 possible interventions or suggested fixes
4. Write a couple of paragraphs that outline your ideas for solutions, refer to your research. In each paragraph also mention how you imagine each solution could be successful as well as what could contribute to each solution being unsuccessful.
Consider the inter-personal dynamics that could be at play between different adults/professionals involved?
Consider the different perspectives of the adults and the student?
Consider which codes are being violated?
