...perspectives. An education theory is the speculative thought of education and just like any other theory; it explains, guides, and describes the practices of education. The earliest speculation on educational processes began during the times of classical sophists and Greek philosophers. Current education speculations use terms like andragogy, curriculum, learning pedagogy, education organization, leadership, and policy. Education thought is derived from various disciplines like, philosophy, sociology, critical theory, psychology, and history among others. This paper will discuss five topics based on the best education theory to be applied in the classroom setting with focus on two education theories postulated by Lev Vygotsky and John Dewey. This paper will also address information processing by students, behaviors of teachers to promote thinking, implications of language development on learning and teaching, and on the relationship between the emotional and social development on student behavior and learning. Classroom Observation Analysis Education theory can either be descriptive like in the sciences or normative like in philosophy. Education theory postulates what education processes are supposed to consist of; it sets the standards, norms, and goals in carrying out an education process.

Areas that will be discussed include, a description of the educational need based upon assessment findings, educational goals and objectives, educational methods that will be used to implement the health educational plan, and the methods applied to evaluate the educator and process used in the development and implementation of the health education plan.

...RUNNING HEAD: Exceptionalities Teaching for Exceptionalities Grashal Parker Grand Canyon University: SPE-526 December 2, 2011 Teaching for Exceptionalities Children with learning differences have always been a part of the community. Teaching children with learning differences began as a one on one setting, usually separate from typical schools. In the past, students’ with exceptionalities were often segregated from the regular classroom. Mainstreaming began the process of integrating them with nondisabled students, and inclusion takes the process further by creating a web of services. Special education is often times as diverse as the schools and school systems that incorporate it. Most common approaches include: self-contained classrooms, pullout services, and inclusion. Inclusion is most effective when regular education and special education teachers closely collaborate on instructional adaptations for learners with exceptionalities (Heward, 2009). In every classroom there are students with exceptionalities. These exceptionalities may include a student who has an IEP and needs extra accommodations/modifications or a gifted student that needs to be challenged beyond the curriculum. As an educator, one needs to make sure that each student is able to succeed in the classroom. Talent, imagination and skill are attributes teachers must possess. When working with children who have diverse needs these attributes must be perfected (Fogel, 2005). There may be some areas...

...LO 1 1.1 Self-managed learning is a way that individuals organise themselves and find different ways in learning things whether in the community or at work. It is also about setting out the goals for the learning by evaluating the purpose for learning and ways to achieve those goals. People always learn new things, for example, the culture of different people, behaviour, personality, perceptions and so on. People can learn things from college, through friends, personal and other people’s experience, books to mention but few. It is therefore important to manage one’s learning as it has huge impacts in one’s life. Some of the positive impacts include: Self-managed learning gives people the opportunity to come up with their own strategy in learning. For instance, I have a goal to get a distinction on my assignment, so my strategy will be to research, reference and write well my work and submit it on time to achieve my goal.
