Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

New to this course is the student-initiated discussion. This new format provides the chance to interact with your classmates at a scholarly level regarding any of the Week Two topics.

This discussion will also be moderated by the class community. While your instructor will also participate in the discussions for clarifying details or to provide additional guidance, support, and/or resources, this discussion allows for some autonomy and deeper exploration of the content that is meaningful to you.

Initial Post: Your discussion may be generated from any topic, instructional material, resource, or assignment through this week’s content. The topics must be aligned to the weekly learning outcomes specified at the beginning of this week:

• Analyze how specific disabilities will impact social skills and behavior in the learning environment.

OR

• Identify how cultural and linguistic perspectives influence teacher, guardian/caregiver/parent, and student behavior.

OR

• Interpret instructional techniques to implement appropriate social skills and behavior interventions through response and prevention.

You must develop and post one initial substantive post that is open ended, draws on the interest and experience of your classmates in this course, and is directly related to the learning outcomes as indicated above.

Guided Response: You are required to substantively respond in writing to at least two posts initiated by your peers. Responses should be two to three paragraphs in length, should demonstrate understanding and application of the concepts learned in this course, and should be written in a collegial tone with no errors in grammar usage or punctuation. Respond in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center
