You are the Assistant Director of Campus Activities at New England State University, a comprehensive state institution in rural New England with 9,000 students.  Your campus serves many first generation college students and members of the military, as you are located in the same small city as an Army base. Part of your professional duties requires you to co-advise 50 student organizations; your co-advisors of these organizations are made up of various members of the faculty and staff on campus.  Your job as co-advisor is to help the organizations plan large activities, stay within their budgets, and train new organization leaders on campus policies and procedures. On Monday morning, you receive an email from the Director of the GLBT Center on campus, asking you why you have allowed the Campus Republicans to host a famous speaker who is known for his public anti-gay rhetoric.  In the email, the Director tells you she found out about the speaker when a “very upset student” brought a flyer to her office.  She requests a meeting with you and your Director that day.  The event is scheduled for the Thursday of this week and this is the first you have heard about it.  As you begin to investigate the event, you learn that it has been advertised on campus and in the local community paper; it is being co-sponsored by a local conservative organization not affiliated with the college. What do you do?  With whom will you meet/collaborate?  Can you/should you cancel the event?  What are your other options?  Which student development theories will help in your decision making process as you work with the student groups involved? Must Use APA with including work cited page. Must reference and cite, “Student Services A Handbook for The Profession, John H. Schuh Sixth Edition.

In order to effectively choose a curriculum approach, you must have the knowledge base regarding curricular approaches, an understanding of your own core beliefs about children, and your image of yourself as a professional. Much of how you approach choices related to curriculum relates to the assumptions and internalized values you bring to your particular school or center (Jaruszewicz, 2013, section 2.4). An important step in this process is connecting what you know about curriculum approaches and how this information fits into your core beliefs. As Jaruszewicz (2013) posits, excellent teachers and caregivers are “reflective” and purposefully think about the curriculum decisions they make and their teaching practices (section 1.5). This journal is a start in that reflective process.-Describe the major differences between an approach and a model.-Compare and contrast the effectiveness of multiple early childhood curricular approaches to your own beliefs by completing the Matrix for Reflection chart.Explain how making these comparisons supports your ability to make appropriate curricular decisions (i.e., respond to the unique needs of children based on culture and experiences, consider developmentally appropriate practice, etc.).

Wittgenstein hated living and working at Cambridge University.  He especially didn’t like the constant chatter about ethics and politics that is associated with college life, both back then and today.  Whenever he could, he would leave to faraway places: a fjord in Norway, a cottage in western Ireland, and so on. Both of these tendencies sharply contrast with Plato’s depiction of Socrates — he loved to talk about ethics and politics, and he never left Athens.  How would Plato respond to Wittgenstein’s view of philosophy?  Write a paper imagining how Socrates would respond to Wittgenstein’s behavior: pretend that they somehow met and spoke the same language.
