Preparation Research the student population and neighborhood demographics of your immediate area such as your county or city and the demographics of your state. Look at the most recent election results, especially for school board and elected state officials, and see what their opinions are about education. Especially note if your area is either aligned with your larger state or differs from your larger state.

Determine the top five social forces that you want to address. Describe three key issues of each social force, recommend a method to address the issues, and discuss the benefits expected. You can apply your paper to just the one grade and subject or broaden it to a grade range such as K–2, 3–5, middle school, etcetera. Otherwise, you can expand the grade range of your subjects such as elementary science or middle school ELA. Instructions Write a 6–8 page paper in which you: 1. Describe the demographics of your school district and compare them to the demographics of the county or city in which it resides. 2. Compare your local demographics to your state demographics, including recent election results, and note any major education issues that came up during the most recent election. 3. Describe the top five social forces that you want to address through curriculum planning. a. Explain why you think these are the top five. b. Explain why you think curriculum planning will help address these social forces. 4. Describe three key issues for each social force. a. Recommend a method to address the issue. b.

I am in Grand Canyo University online.  In case that you currently do not have a support system(s) or group(s), how will you create a support group that best reflects you and your academic and personal wellness support needs?

Write a research paper (suggested length of 20–30 pages) that includes the following: A. Provide an introduction in which you do the following: 1. Identify an open-ended problem in education. a. Explain your current thinking about the future of education posed by the open-ended problem you have identified, supporting your explanation with research-based evidence. B. Choose five aspects that influence your open-ended problem, which can include but are not limited to the following: • teachers and standards • high-stakes assessments • curriculum/instruction • methodology • technology • bilingual/ELL • special education • public policy • diversity and inclusion 1. Identify two possible approaches and discuss how they address the open-ended problem, using each of the 5 aspects chosen in part B. Note: The same two possible approaches should be used for each of the 5 aspects. Note: For example, a proponent of public school Montessori may have an approach that differs from the approach of a proponent of homeschooling. Or, a proponent of self-contained special education may have an approach that differs from the approach of a proponent of full-inclusion special education. a. Provide evidence to support your discussion from part B1. i. Discuss the quality of evidence, including the credibility and bias of the provided information or evidence relevant to the possible approaches presented in part B1. b. Discuss the underlying assumptions of the possible approaches presented in part B1. 2. Discuss how two of the influencing aspects chosen in part B and the possible approaches from part B1 impact each other. 3. Analyze the pros and cons of implementing each of the possible approaches from part B1. 4. Propose your solution to the open-ended problem identified in part A1. a. Discuss potential criticisms of the solution you proposed in part B4 and ways of addressing those criticisms. 5. Reflect on what education would look like in the future if the solution from part B4 were implemented. 6. Summarize the main points from the research paper. C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. D. Demonstrate professional communication

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS :  1- Respond to the following prompts in the Research Designs discussion forum by Deadline:  As a researcher you have chosen to conduct an Ethnography, what research design would you use? Defend your choice. Would you consider a mixed methodology? Why or why not? 2- Comment: on both responses as they will serve as a sample to follow responding to the prompts :  Sample of response: # 1 Q.M  As a researcher conducting an Ethnography, I would choose a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative research, but qualitative research would be the dominant and overarching design.  For example, I’m highly interested in the social and academic challenges faced by refugee students in America as well as those overseas. If I were to conduct an Ethnography on refugee students in America, numerical data would undoubtedly help but the essential information that will help me devise a plan to solve the tsunami of problems they face will be obtained through interviews and personal interactions–all qualitative.   I look forward to hearing your feedback as well as reading your responses to this discussion assignment   Sample of response #2 A.C    As a researcher who chosen to conduct an Ethnography, I would use a mixed methodology. According to Newbold (2018), Ethnography research includes the following steps: identify the research question, determine the location(s) for research, formulate presentation method, acquire permissions and access, observe and participate, interview, collect archival data, and code and analyze data. Glesne (2016) combining methodologies is common with Ethnography as one may include a quantifiable survey in one’s study, yet most of the methods are qualitative (p. 16).  Reference Glesne, C. (2016). Becoming qualitative researchers. (5th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson. Newbold, C. (2018, January 31). HOW TO DO ETHNOGRAPHY RESEARCH.
