Class Schedule: On-line The Online Weekly Schedule Electronic weeks begin on Tuesday and end on Monday. Day 1 – Tuesday Day 2 – Wednesday Day 3 – Thursday Day 4 – Friday Day 5 – Saturday Day 6 – Sunday Day 7 – Monday
Where to Go to Class: Your Course Forums Main: This is the main forum for the class and is where discussion is conducted. It has read-and-write access for everyone. Chat-Room: This is a read-and-write access forum. It is designed as a place to discuss issues not related to the course content. This is the forum to which we will send our bios. Course-Materials: This is a read-only forum, which means you can read messages here but cannot send any. This is where I will post the course syllabus and materials. Learning-Team-A, B, C, D and E: These five Learning Team forums will be used as workrooms for the learning teams. You will be assigned to one of these learning teams.
CLASS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Participation Participation is very important. During own online weeks, you will be expected to participate 4 days a week in several different discussions and to contribute at least three substantive discussion messages over the 3 days. This is a required part of your grade. Participation consists of notes you send above and beyond graded assignments and discussion question post. This generally means the messages you send as replies to messages from your classmates and me in the main forum. Please note that both quantity and quality are important considerations when it comes to participation. For example, a message which says simply, "I agree," does not constitute participation, because it does not add anything of substance to the discussion.
In order to earn full participation points, you must add something of substance to the discussion 3 out of 7 days per week—this would consist of new ideas, your perspectives, pointed follow-up questions (at the end of narrative discussion – not questions alone), etc. You will find it is much easier to keep up with the On-line component of the class when you are logging in and participating regularly. Only posts in the Main classroom forum will count towards your class participation score.
Participation and Discussion Question Grading Discussion question responses will not count towards the class participation requirement and will be evaluated separately. Participation can be defined as active and positive contributions to the learning process and is different from attendance in the online classroom. To meet participation requirements, students are expected to contribute substantively to the class discussion three out of seven days per week in addition to posting graded assignments. Participation means posting notes in the Main Forum, which everyone has access to. Study group postings, Chat Forum postings, and notes to your instructor's personal mailbox are not considered part of your overall class participation. Participation is very important online. You will be expected to participate three days a week in several different discussions and contribute at least two discussion messages during the course of the week and three responses to your classmates’. In order to earn full participation points, you must add something of substance to the discussion three out of seven days per week—this would consist of new ideas, your perspectives, pointed follow-up questions (following narrative discussions – not questions standing alone), etc. You'll find it's much easier to keep up with an Online class component, if you are logging in and participating regularly. You will be expected to contribute to the class discussion in a substantive way at least three out of seven days each week. I define a substantive message as follows: A substantive message must add, or lead to, either additional information or a different perspective. It is also a good idea to copy the portion of the original email to which you are responding directly (usually in a different color font) prior to the substantive response. Please note that your DQ’s and assignments, when posted to the Main Forum, will not count as substantive posts (they are graded separately). In addition, you can post in the forum 3 of 7 days and not receive full credit if the postings do not meet the definition of “substantive”. This is a required part of your grade. Participation consists of notes you send above and beyond graded assignments. This generally means the messages you send as replies to messages from your classmates and me. Please note that both quantity and quality are important considerations when it comes to participation. A message which says simply, "I agree” with a few words/sentences added, for example, may not constitute participation if it does not add anything of substance to the discussion. Substantive posts should reflect depth of
knowledge and/or professional experience application (ensuring that confidentiality is met at all times).
Article Summaries Choose five articles from professional magazines published within the last 5 years. Read the articles and provide a written response with the following components: • • •
Article title, author and reference information, brief summary personal reflection.
All article reviews are due on week 10 of the class schedule.
Final Week Requirements Discussion question responses will not be required during the final week of the course. The final week will be dedicated to completing the final assignments listed below.
Expectations for Discussion Question Responses Discussion question responses should be at least 200-300 words. For discussion question responses in the Main forum, please post responses to the threads provided. To respond, highlight the appropriate thread, click on Reply, type your response, and send. Please do not start a new thread for the weekly discussion questions in the Main forum. Unlike your formal written assignments, I do not require that your discussion question responses adhere to specific formatting requirements. However, please make sure to proofread carefully. Grammar and spelling errors may impact the grading. I expect your discussion question responses to reflect critical thought. Whenever possible, please try to relate the course content to real-world applications from your work experience and literature and reading assignments from the class.
Attachments Please do not use attachments in the Main forum when at all possible. Post DQ responses and weekly summaries (if required) in the body of OLS messages. Please post formal assignments in the identified forum as attachments–Microsoft® Word documents or PowerPoint® slides.
Learning Teams Students are expected to work effectively in diverse groups and teams to achieve tasks. They must collaborate and function well in team settings as both leaders and followers. They should respect human diversity and behave in a tolerant manner toward colleagues and peers. Several of the assignments in this class will be completed in Learning Teams of three to five students. I will set up these teams midway through Week 1. If you have any requests for teammates, please let me know by Thursday of the first week via your Individual Forum. I do consider requests but also reserve the right to form teams balancing out variables (grade levels and teaching location) If you experience difficulties working with your team, you are expected to resolve them within the team if possible. However, please feel free to contact me for guidance if you have concerns in this area. In order to create structure for your Learning Team, you will complete a Learning Team Charter during Week 1. At the end of the course, you will be asked to complete a Peer Evaluation to assess the contributions of each member of your Learning Team (including yourself). I will take these Peer Evaluations into account when assessing individual contributions to the Learning Team projects. If you need to contact me prior to the end of the class with Learning team problems, please feel free to do so through email in a private setting. Because Learning Team projects are outcome-based, all members of your Learning Team will generally earn the same grade for Learning Team projects. However, I reserve the right to report different grades for different Learning Team members if I see a substantial imbalance in individual contribution.
Confidentiality and Proprietary Information One of the cornerstones of online learning is the practical application of theoretical concepts. You are encouraged to share your personal and professional experiences as a means to integrate knowledge by reflecting on its application. However, it is important to note that we all are bound by confidentiality in this class. To assure that we can have a free and open discussion in which you may elect to discuss your school and its policies and procedures as they apply to the course material, I expect each person to respect the confidentiality of what your classmates are willing to share with us. At the same time, I ask that each of you exercise good judgment in what you choose to share and avoid disclosing non-public or sensitive information.
If you have any questions about any of the information contained in this syllabus, or about any other aspect of this class, please do not hesitate to ask!

ASSIGNMENTS Week 1
Characteristics of the Gifted and Talented
Required Reading: Chapter 2 of required text Assignments: Individual • Prepare a Personal Educational Philosophy Statement. Teachers are asked many times throughout their teaching careers to prepare an educational philosophy statement. In most instances, they need to prepare this statement for a job interview, application, or perhaps to explain their philosophy to a parent. Reflect on your educational philosophy and the impact it has on your instructional practices. Reflect on your beliefs about teaching and learning and how they relate to curriculum development and strategies for gifted learners. Write a 500- 1000-word informal (first person) paper on your personal educational philosophy using the following specifications:
•
Describe how your personal educational philosophy affects your instructional practices and your choices of classroom curriculum. Does your philosophy reflect your choices of classroom strategies and management? Find research or data to support your philosophy and management choices. Respond to the Discussion question posted in the main thread.
Team Assignments Learning Team As a learning team, you will be designing a WebQuest, an inquiry-oriented activity, in which most or all the information used by students is online. By providing links necessary to complete the quest, one is able to focus on the material rather than spend time looking for it. In education, a WebQuest is a research activity in which students collect information, where most of the information comes from the World Wide Web. The six-part WebQuest (introduction, task, resources, process, evaluation, and conclusion) promotes critical thinking levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. As a group you will need to select a subject for your WebQuest. Prepare a proposal for faculty approval of your WebQuest for submission in Week 5. The final WebQuest Project and Presentation assignment is due in Week 13 Your final WebQuest product can either be created using a webquest template at www.webquest.org, PowerPoint®, Word® document, or as an XML file posted to the Web. WebQuest guides can be found at the following Web sites: http://www.uhv.edu/webct/students/orientation/tutorials/webquest_edit.htm http://www.spa3.k12.sc.us/WebQuestTemplate/webquesttemp.htm 1. Learning Teams will be assigned on the first week of class with consideration being given to student requests.
