Imagine you’ve been thinking about how to make gains in student achievement in your educational setting. Your students are from diverse backgrounds, so your strategies will need to account for that diversity. To find new ideas, you’ve been researching evidence-based strategies other countries have used to increase achievement. You’ve come across a couple of ideas you think might really work well in your setting. However, the trick is convincing others. You’re meeting with your grade-level chair, building administrator, and curriculum team to show them that these are policies worth implementing and investing in. What information do you need to share? You’ll want to start with some research.
For this activity, you can imagine either your current education setting or one you picture for yourself in the future.
Preparation
Continue your search, using the Capella Library, to find scholarly sources (peer-reviewed articles, books, websites, and dissertations) with evidence to support the educational strategies you want to write about.

Describe two evidence-based strategies that other countries are using to show significant gains in student achievement. Be sure they align to your specialization.
How would these strategies be applicable in the United States and your setting, in particular in a setting of diverse, multicultural students and parents?
What challenges or barriers might occur during implementation? To answer this question be sure to analyze the larger political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context influencing student success and that would need to be accounted for in the implementation of your two chosen strategies.
Include scholarly evidence and key points providing the necessary support to convince your stakeholders/school officials to let you try such a policy or approach.

Part 3 – THIS IS COMPLETE I AM ATTACHING IT, I JUST NEED SPEAKER NOTES ADDED
Overview
Imagine you’ve had your open house, and you’re reflecting on what you’ve heard from parents and students. But you’ve also learned more in this course too, and you’ll continue to read and reflect as a professional. You’re refining your educational philosophy and connecting it to the bigger educational picture as a part of your process of lifelong learning.
You’ll start by finding a theory that most reflects your philosophy. Share your reflection through a presentation.
Preparation
This assignment requires you to use Kaltura, a Capella-supported recording tool, or a similar software that produces an mp4 file. You’ll also need presentation software like PowerPoint. Finally, you’ll need to have access to a webcam and microphone for recording your video. For more information, see Using Kaltura and the PowerPoint Presentations Library Guide
Instructions
Create a presentation to share your reflection. Describe an educational theory that most aligns with your philosophy. Include:
Why you selected the educational theory. What about it most reflects your philosophy?
Explain how the theory takes into consideration some of the larger political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context you’re concerned about.
Explain and give examples of how the educational theory aligns with dispositions of accrediting bodies most closely associated with your specialization. For example, Week 9: Reflection Presentation
Explain how the theory and the specialization standards support your professional and personal dispositions.
How has your philosophy changed as you’ve learned and grown as an educator? Describe where you see opportunities for future growth.
Make sure the audio and visual quality of your presentation are what you’d expect in a professional video conference setting.
Additional Requirements
Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:
Length of recorded presentation: 5-7 minutes.
Speaker notes: Submit both your recorded presentation and your PowerPoint (or similar file)and include your speaker notes in your PowerPoint.
Tools and technology: You may use PowerPoint or other presentation software of your choice. Record the presentation using Kaltura or similar software. Refer to Audio and Video in this Course under Tools and Resources for instructions as necessary. See the Resource Toolbox for information about using PowerPoint and recording video.
Design quality: Audio and visual quality should approximate that of a properly functioning video conference. Employ effective design strategies to visually organize the information. Avoid colored slide backgrounds and backgrounds with texture, as they have the effect of reducing viewer comprehension. Use graphics to call attention to, highlight, and clarify information for the viewer. Graphics that do not directly support specific content on your slide are distracting and reduce viewer comprehension.
Written communication: Make sure your writing is succinct and clear, is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines. Refer
Resources: Include a minimum of three current scholarly sources (peer-reviewed articles, books, websites, and dissertations) to support your case.
