Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates.

Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
 

     

Outside   Challenges

 This discussion focuses on identifying the economic, technological, social and personal factors outside of school that can result in barriers to academic success inside school. From Week One’s readings of the course text and the assessments related thereto, you should now be familiar with the research that describes the relationship between factors of social class and school success, the impact of diversity on learning, and the importance of family involvement. These factors represent powerful variables outside school that impact learning inside school. For this discussion, discuss factors in your own life, outside of school and the direct and indirect relationships with your learning experiences inside of school. Be sure to review the Week Two Instructor Guidance for additional information that can assist you in excelling in all assessments for this week.
 

Initial Post: Create an initial post that describes the relationship between a challenge you faced outside school from one or more of the following areas: economic, technological, social and personal. Next, describe how your challenge may have contributed to your academic and/or social success inside the classroom. This challenge may have occurred when you were a child or it may be a current challenge that you have faced or are facing as an adult. Please only share about challenges that you are comfortable discussing with the class.
 

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. In your responses, comment on how the specific challenges presented in their posts resonate with you personally. You might choose to indicate that the challenges reflect similar challenges you faced growing up, or possibly the challenges are representative of difficulties faced by many of your students. Additionally, offer suggestions from your own experiences that might help mitigate any negative consequences of your peers’ current challenges. As with all discussions, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. This will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.
