Assingment

    
This assignment will focus on culturally responsive pedagogy. Student will write a plan, and in doing so, should assume the role of an Instructional coach/leader whose goal is to work with a group of teachers in effort to improve student’s learning. The plan should assess the need for change, and propose a plan for implementation. This should include a form of pre- assessment, change, and a measure of post-assessment of the initiative. Thus, the plan should be grounded in the literature. The paper should range between 3-4 pages, and it should be written in APA. Student should identify an assessment tool or a model to aid the plan, as well as graphical representation to illustrate the plan. 
A well-developed plan is evidenced by the degree to which the student as an instructional coach/leader could identify current practices at the classroom level that impede student learning, followed by a plan for change, and a plan to assess the effectiveness of the change, using scholarly evidence.
