(Appendix C).

Reflexive Diary

The student will write his/her personal reactions to the learning experience

presented in the first four workshops at the end of each period. The purpose is

to critically analyze his/her experiences upon studying the concepts presented in

each workshop. He/she will also include a self-evaluation of the work carried out

in the assignments for the workshop. These diaries will be included as part of

the portfolio to be handed in during Workshop Five. Each reflective diary will

receive a 25 points value.

Portfolio

1. Determination of sources of content

The following, but not limited to, documentation will be included:

a. Projects, surveys, and reports.

h. Self assessments, peer assessments, facilitator assessments.

i. Notes from student-facilitator conferences.

2. Organization of documentation

Documentation will be organized by workshop, and by type of assignment

within workshops. Workshops will be separated from one another using

construction paper or paper of different colors, with tabs indicating the

workshop number.

3. Presentation of the portfolio

• Documentation will be posted in a binder or in a digital version (e-

portfolio).

• The cover page will follow exactly APA guidelines applied to a cover

page of research papers submitted at Metro Orlando Campus. This

cover page will be placed at the beginning of the portfolio.

• The entire portfolio will follow APA style: Courier or Times New Roman

font, size 12, double space, and 1-inch margins. See a “Publication

Manual of the APA, Fifth Edition”

• A table of contents that can be expanded with each new entry properly

numbered. The table, which should be located at the beginning, should

include a brief description, date produced, date submitted, and date

evaluated (Appendix D).

• Introduction and conclusion of the income and outcome of the portfolio.

• A list of references and appendixes of all assignments included will be

added to the end of the portfolio.

Page 8: EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School ......EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades 1 Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez School for Professional

EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades

• The Portfolio Informational Sheet will be placed in the transparent front

pocket of the binder for identification purposes (Appendix E).

4. Evaluation of the Portfolio. The learning targets for the portfolio as a whole

are not the same as those for individual entries. Likewise, the criteria for

judging progress toward meeting learning targets of all the contents together

is different from what is used for each entry. The language of the evaluation

reflects the more general nature of the target (See Appendix F).

Description of course policies:

1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Dual-Language

Discipline-Based Immersion Model® designed to promote each student’s

development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be facilitated

in English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means that each

workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The language

used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the course will be

conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this balance, the

course module may specify that both languages will be used during the fifth

workshop, dividing that workshop’s time and activities between the two

languages. If students have difficulty with asking a question in the target

language in which the activity is being conducted, students may choose to

use their preferred language for that particular question. However, the

facilitator must answer in the language assigned for that particular day. This

should only be an exception as it is important for students to use the assigned

language. The 50/50 model does not apply to language courses where the

delivery of instruction must be conducted in the language taught (Spanish or

English only).

2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students

prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each

workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but could require

more.

3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a

workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will

Page 9: EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School ......EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades 1 Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez School for Professional

EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades

9

evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up

the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following:

allow the student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the

work and assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.

4. Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in

on the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for

late assignments and make-up work.

5. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the

following options:

a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade

based on the students existing grade.

b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two

grades based on the students existing grade.

6. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class

activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can

be made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the

facilitator may determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands

that an equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same

content and language components as the oral presentation or special activity

that was missed.

7. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work.

However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the

group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as individually.

8. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should

not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work

submitted. All quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with

credit given to its author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized

writings are easily detectable and students should not risk losing credit for

material that is clearly not their own.

EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades

10

9. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should be

discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first

workshop.

10. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an

email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.

11. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to

have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.

12. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not

allowed to the classrooms.

13. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university

community established by the institution and in this course.

Descripción de las normas del curso

1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual-Language Model®” del

Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta diseñado para

promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe.

Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50.

Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el

lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para

asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en inglés y 50% en español. Para

mantener un balance, el modulo debe especificar que se utilizaran ambos

Page 16: EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School ......EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades 1 Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez School for Professional

EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades

16

idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo el tiempo y las actividades

equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un estudiante tiene dificultad en

hacer una pregunta en el idioma especificado, bien puede escoger el idioma

de preferencia para hacer la pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador deberá

contestar la misma en el idioma designado para ese taller. Esto deberá ser

una excepción a las reglas pues es importante que los estudiantes utilicen el

idioma designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje que deben ser

desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en ingles o todo en español según

aplique.

2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los

estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada

taller requiere un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en ocasiones

requiere más.

3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se ausente

al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El facilitador

evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el estudiante repondrá

el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador decidirá uno de los

siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o asignarle trabajo

adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto.

Toda tarea a ser completada antes de taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha

asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a mas de un taller el facilitador tendrá las

siguientes opciones:

a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo basado

en la nota existente.

b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la nota

a dos por debajo de la nota existente.

5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones orales

es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el estudiante

provee una excusa valida y verificable, el facilitador determinara una

actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma. Esta actividad deberá

Page 17: EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School ......EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades 1 Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez School for Professional

EDUC 212 Science Teaching Methods for Elementary School Grades

17

incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del lenguaje como la presentación

oral o actividad a ser repuesta.

En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin

embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr un

trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.

6. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y no

plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado

apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo

estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea

plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero.

7. Si el facilitador hace cambios al módulo o guía de estudio, deberá discutirlos

y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del primer taller.

8. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes

proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.

9. EL uso de celulares esta prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber

una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

10. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida en

el salón de clases.

11. Todo estudiante esta sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y

comportamiento que rigen Metro Orlando y el curso.
