ELL515 Arizona State Early Childhood Education Journal Reflection

This is a two-step question please label heading as such for each DB and Journal #1.

Step 1: Review all module content and consider its connection to your own teaching or learning experiences.

Step 2: Respond to the following prompt in an original post that is between 200 and 400 words:

Describe two unique parent, family, or community engagement strategies that you have used or have seen in your school. You are also welcome to draw on your own experience as a family or community member. What made the strategy successful or not? Was the strategy specific to families of English Learners? If not, what modifications would need to be made for those families?

Journal #1

You will respond to three prompts that deal with your active involvement with and active development with SEI issues course activities, readings, and team work.

Each journal reflection consists of responses to the three prompts listed below with a minimum of five (thoughtful and probing) sentences for each prompt.

What are the more important things you learned during the modules’ reading(s), tasks, and interactions? How do they relate to the course and SEI course frame work objectives?
What was something you already knew or had learned but it was reinforced during the modules’ reading(s), tasks, and interactions? How do they relate to the course and SEI course frame work objectives?
Write down a question or query you have concerning a topic(s) discussed or read during the week and consider how you might begin going about responding and/or answering it. How might this query relate to the course and SEI course frame work objectives?

The journal submissions are only read by your instructor. At times, the instructor may copy some submissions and share anonymously with the class.

The purpose of this activity is to guide your own reflection and learning; the purpose is not to produce a professional research paper. As such, APA formatting is not required. However, because your instructor will read your entries, you should make every effort to ensure the entry includes correct grammar and spelling. References do not need to be in strict APA format, but the instructor must be able to determine what material you are referring to.
