This project engages teacher candidates in learning about an urban school's surrounding community - the "social contexts" of schooling - through four activities carried out over four weeks. Small working groups, assigned to a Staten Island North Shore zoned, Title One elementary school, are tasked with gathering and analyzing a variety of secondary, primary, and observational data through the cumulative activities and, supported through readings and discussions, individuals are encouraged to connect their findings to the development of a more informed, culturally responsive mindset.

A one-way analysis of variance exercise using data on species diversities from vernal pools.Data are from vernal pools in Willowbrook Park (adjacent to College of Staten Island's campus) in spring. The typical ANOVA gives a straightforward result (significant anova, easily-interpreted Tukey-Kramer analysis). This data set requires more nuanced interpretation, as the ANOVA is marginally significant, and Tukey-Kramer yields one significant pairwise comparison between groups. Relative lack of variation within groups explains this apparent enigma.

As special education teachers, having students with behavior challenges is highly likely. Functional assessments are used to support individuals with their challenging behaviors. Therefore, it is important for teachers to understand what functional assessments are, when to use them, and how to use them. This OER is adapted from Chapter 2, The Methodology of Functional Assessment, of the book, Instruction in Functional Assessment by Desrochers and Fallon (2014). Chapter 2 answers the following questions: What is functional assessment? What are the three main functional assessment approaches and how are they used? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? What ethical considerations are necessary when implementing functional assessment? This OER will allow students to read this chapter and then complete a case study simulation and interpret a functional analysis. These assignments will provide pre-service teachers with an opportunity to practice real-world scenarios in a low-stakes manner, furthering their preparation for utilizing functional assessments to help students who exhibit behaviors that are disruptive, self-injurious, and aggressive. The adapted portion comes from: https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/instruction-in-functional-assessment/chapter/chapter-2the_methodology_of_functional_assessment/ This OER has been changed in the following manner: In addition to completing the Chapter 2 reading and assignments, students will also be required to create a thread on the discussion board, reflecting on their thoughts about this process and the implications for their current and/or future practice as educators. Finally, they will respond with similarities and differences, constructive criticism, clarifying questions, or their own relevant thoughts to two of their classmates' posts.

This OER includes an introductory essay, "Some Thoughts on Teaching with Zines in the College Classroom," which discusses three ways one could use zines. 1. teach about zines, 2, create a zine to share information with your students, 3. ask your students to make a zine. At the end of the essay, there are screenshots of the pages of a mini-zine that teach the reader (that's you!) how to make a zine out of a single sheet of paper. Finally, the last page is a printable zine, which you can fold up and cut with your newfound skills, and hand out to students as an instructional tool. I hope you have fun with this handy little project!

This writing assignment begins a semester-long exploration addressing the question “What Is Jazz?” Being introduced by film to two New Orleans jazz musicians, George “Kid Sheik” Colar (1908-1996) and Emanuel “Manny” Sayles (1907-1986), students will get a firsthand perspective of the various levels of commitment to the music these two individuals maintained as working musicians. They dedicated themselves professionally, personally, emotionally, and spiritually. They took inspiration from their life experiences. The films convey the message that jazz goes beyond the notes we hear.

This activity begins from an aleatory technique that creates a list of 104 associatively generated words to provide each participant with a field from which they improvise, first a free-form poem using twenty of the words and then an experimental prose piece that uses all 104 words. The poem is written as a workshop activity and optionally shared in a “poetry slam” segment, following which the prose piece is done as a home assignment. The activity takes 90-120 minutes. A version for synchronous online application is in development.
