This assessment is out of 100 and will be converted to a final mark out of 50. The word count expected is between 2500-3000 words. Imagine you are an educator who observes one of the situations described in this scenario document: Scenarios Concerned by what you observe, you then decide to create a useful guide for educators on the issue/topic/s you observe in the situation. The guide can be a booklet (PDF or Word), interactive e-book or e-magazine, or website/blog site. The purpose of the resource is to inform and educate your colleagues about the issue/s, so they can be better informed educators.This is formal academic writing and in text referencing, correct paragraph format and tone are needed. While you can organise the guide in any way you choose, everyone needs to submit a Word document which will go through Turnitin. If you create an electronic resource, place the link at the top of the Word document (your draft script/ word document). If you are creating a Word document, upload the final version only. This will be explained and discussed further at a Collaborate session on Assessment 3. Your resource must have at least the following key sections: A brief Introduction: This should introduce to the reader the guide, the issue/topic, what to expect and the guide’s purpose and contents (200 words recommended). The issue (your own subheading if you like): This section describes and explains the issue/topic. It should explain why educators should know or learn about it. You must use the unit readings (or project resources readings in the side bar tab in ‘Week 11’) to describe and explain the issue. You can also use other associated resources from the unit in your description and explanation. You can link your issue to other issues (they are often inter-related), but try to give emphasis to one only unless you can combine more than one to some depth (1000-1200 words recommended). Defensible approaches/strategies: This section focuses on describing and justifying (with readings/ references) one or more appropriate and effective approaches educators and schools can use at a classroom, centre, school, and/or community level to respond to the issue. You cannot make up strategies – they must come from a reading or wider research. Each strategy needs a reference next to it. It should not be a list, but a detailed description of and justification for one or more strategies or approaches. These should be justified by reference to research from the unit readings and resources, and any other credible source. You should demonstrate a deep understanding of why these approaches/strategies are important (200-400 words recommended). An awareness of the curricula documents and frameworks and their overarching philosophies and understandings: What educators do should be framed by formal curriculum documents and policies. This section describes how the issue and/or the approaches/strategies for addressing the issue are or could be linked to philosophies of the official curriculum documents or framework documents, which might include the Melbourne Declaration, the Adelaide Declaration, the Australian Curriculum and/or the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
