Assignment Description: Interactive SEL Bulletin Board – ECSE 4309 Classroom Community Interactive Bulletin Board (In Class Assignment) Classroom Community Interactive Bulletin Board (Field Assignment) In Class Assignment: Each candidate will be assigned to a group and will participate in the development and display of an interactive bulletin board with social and emotional content in the classroom that is used for teacher education coursework in ECSE 4309. The focus of the board is one that relies on positive guidance techniques and can be extended for a period of up to two weeks. The board should be interactive with movable pieces that could easily be understood by children. The bulletin board should be durable, attractive, and one that appeals to the interests of young children. Bulletin boards will remain in the classroom for approximately 2 weeks, with specific due dates specified by the instructor. One person in the group shall serve as the spokesperson to demonstrate the board's use. Teacher candidates will be encouraged to use the board during the two week period that it hangs in the room. Each member of the group should contribute to the development, display, and dismantling of the board. A cooperative group assessment will be completed by each member of the group. Consistent concerns regarding any group members' contributive efforts will be discussed individually with that group member and the professor, and possible adjustments to individual grades shall be made if deemed appropriate based on consistent negative input by an individual's group members. Field Assignment: An individual interactive bulletin board with social and emotional content will be developed and implemented in each candidate's field classroom. Candidates may choose to duplicate their cooperative group's bulletin board for the field if appropriate to the grade level and interests of the children at the field site or to develop a totally new one. In addition to the development and display of the board, candidates will submit photographs of the board being implemented in the field, with or without images of children using the board. They will also submit reflections that contain objectives for the board as defined by and tied to Arkansas frameworks, a summary of their experiences in implementing the board and children's reactions to it, and objective evidence of impact on student learning. Field bulletin boards can be turned in via Chalk and Wire or hard copy. The assignment is due March 6, 2009.
