For this exercise, choose one 21st Century Skill (collaboration) and select a specific context and learning audience (e.g., 6th grade Earth Science, postsecondary English at a community college), and do the following:
In your Subject Line, write the Name of the 21st Century Skill and the Learning Context/Learners.
In the Body of your post:

Identify your Chosen 21st Century Skill and define it (casually cite any sources for your definition; a URL is fine).
Choose and Identify a Learning Context (specifying subject matter). If in K-12, include grade level, if applicable. 
Briefly Identify Learner Characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race, unique characteristics).
Briefly Indicate the Learning Goals and/or Objectives for the Learners in the Context: Broadly, what are the learners in this context supposed to learn? 

[Example for K-12: Citing the GSE briefly suffices: “The Sixth Grade Georgia Standards of Excellence for science are designed to give all students an overview of common strands in earth science including, but not limited to, meteorology, geology, astronomy, and oceanography.” (Link)]

Given what you’ve noted above, Brainstorm 2 or more ways to assess or measure the learning of the chosen 21st Century Skill. Feel free to use ideas you find online or in books, and casually cite them. 
Do you have any additional thoughts on teaching, and assessing/evaluating learners’ development of 21st Century Skills? (optional)

For Your Initial Post
In your Subject Line, write a descriptive title that is appropriate and makes sense to you!
In the Body of your post, address the following:

Looking at the results on your Table 9.1 Assessment Beliefs and Practices… 

Are there any statements where there was a significant difference between how you rated Desirability and Implementation? 
What do your results tell you about your approach to assessment?  

Looking at your results for Exhibit 9.1: Self-Checklist: Promoting Assessment for Learning…

Are there areas you could target for improving your own assessment practice? Why or why not?

Looking at your responses on both of the instruments…

How might “understanding how you assess” help you when working with teachers, school librarians, and other educators to design, implement, and evaluate technology-enhanced instruction?

regarding  an aspect of a contract protest. you will need to explain  what is a contract protest, who usually makes the protest and why is  the protest process important to government contracting. You should  research this topic in the library but also on the web. 
This link is also a valuable resource to understand the protest process. Link: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R40228.pdf

Test items should be clear and concise. Within the content, you read the following examples:
Item:  In which one of the following pieces of music did Motzart use violins,  violas, bass, trumpets and other instruments to celebrate a famous  French city that is known for the Eifel Tower?
Improved: Which of the following pieces is a full-orchestra work that celebrates Paris?
In the examples above, the goal is to have students recall Symphony No. 31. There is no need to include the extraneous text. 
For this assignment, complet the following:
Create  3 test items (relevant to your field or context) that have extraneous  text followed by revised and improved versions of the test items.
Write  a summary of what you learned this week and how it will impact your  current or future position, relating the body of literature, and  following APA 7th edition style

1) A  description of the latest wave of mass immigration, which began in the  1960s. Discuss in detail the particular issues of stratification faced  by this latest wave of immigrants, integrating our course materials. Be  sure to include dates.  
2) A  comparison of the impact of the latest wave (approximately 1960s-now)  with the first wave (approximately 1820s-1920s) of immigrants in terms  of types of populations involved, causes for immigrating, and overall  impact on U.S. society, drawing from our course materials; be sure to  include dates/years. 
3)  Your own analysis of how you think the negative consequences of  stratification could be improved in society for one particular  disadvantaged group of your choosing. What are the specific actions that  could be taken and in what areas of social life would the steps create  positive change? In doing so, you must apply:
Two  social concepts (i.e. discrimination, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism,  etc.) from our materials and/or outside scholarly readings for this  group. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit to be  helpful (found in Announcements). 
Two  social theories (i.e. conflict theory, interactionist theory, feminist  theory, critical race theory, etc.) from our materials and outside  scholarly readings (journal articles no more than five years old) for  this group. You may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit  to be helpful (found in Announcements).
In  addition to our course materials (be sure to cite), you will  significantly incorporate research throughout from at least  three peer-reviewed academic journals (journal articles) no more than  five years old.

you will delve deeper into a  social problem that really interests you. It can be one of the problems  we have covered in the course, although it should be specific enough to  find data at the state level (pick one state to research). You can  choose a problem not covered in the class, but it should be social, NOT  individual. 
Assignment Instructions:
Craft a clear, illustrative presentation that describes your social  problem and discusses ways to address/alleviate the negative  consequences of the problem.. Also, include a Microsoft Word  or PDF document with notes about the presentation – OR – you may narrate  your presentation in an audio file. 
NOTE: If you were giving the presentation in person, you would  include main points on the slides and then discuss each slide further.  Since you are not actually giving the presentation, the Word/PDF  document or audio file should detail your presentation discussion. What  would you say beyond what’s included on the slides? 
Your presentation must do the following:

SLIDE 1: Include a title slide with the title of  the presentation (incorporating your social problem), your name, the  class and instructor, the date, and a visual representing your topic  choice.  

SLIDE 2: Give a brief overview of the problem—what  it is and what the negative consequences are. Explain why the problem is  social versus individual. 

SLIDE 3: Present current data at the state level  from a reputable source and from within the past five years. Include at  least one chart. 
Here’s an example do not use the example. The following excerpt and chart came from Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition: 
“In 2022, there were 2,135 overdose deaths. This was a decrease of over 5% from 2021.
 The Office of Drug Control Policy (ODCP) states  that overdose cases autopsied by the Office of the State Medical  Examiner (OSME) and toxicology reports submitted by Kentucky coroners,  that 90% of deaths in 2022 involved opioids. Illicit fentanyl continues  to be the most prevalent drug contributing to overdose deaths,  accounting for 72.5% nationwide in 2022.
  In 2022, a total of 2,135 Kentucky residents died  from a drug overdose, representing a decrease of more than 5% from the  2,250 resident drug overdose deaths in 2021.
  A review of the resident autopsy cases by OSME and toxicology reports submitted by Kentucky.”
Numbers of Kentucky Resident Drug Overdose Deaths by Age Group, 2020-2022
 
  Age 2020 2021 2022     0-4 <5 <5 5   5-14 <5 0 <5   15-24 127 139 117   25-34 463 485 426   35-44 572 675 643   45-54 404 495 498   55-64 304 372 341   65-74 75 82 87   75-84 14 5 14   85+ <5 <5 <5     SLIDE 4: List two groups impacted  by the social problem and discuss how they are affected. For example, if  you are looking at drug addiction, you might analyze the impact of  addiction on families, minorities, women, men, children, etc. Include a  link to a current news story or website that supports your discussion. SLIDE 5: Identify one policy, program, and/or  treatment at the state level (government-funded) that addresses the  social problem. Describe how the problem is addressed and evaluate its  effectiveness using evidence and critical thinking. Include a link to  the program.  SLIDE 6: Identify one policy, program, and/or  treatment at the local level (non-profit) that addresses the social  problem. Describe how the problem is addressed and evaluate its  effectiveness using evidence and critical thinking. Include a link to  the program. SLIDE 7: Suggest one or two innovative solutions to the social problem that draw on research, existing programs, and new technologies. SLIDE 8: Include a reference slide with full references in APA formatting listed in alphabetical order (by last name or organization).
