Professional Development Experience
Being an effective early childhood professional requires more than a passion for teaching or ability to work well with children. In the first five years of life, the most critical skills are formed by creating synaptic connections that are key to cognitive, social, physical, and emotional development. Because of their developmental stage, the environment you provide as an early educator will set the foundation for each child’s K- 12 learning experience and beyond. However, as an early childhood professional, you will not work in isolation. Other professionals contribute to service provided to this population, including speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, school psychologists, and educational advocates. Therefore, it is essential that as an early childhood professional you are able to communicate effectively with other professionals.
Scenario: The principal from a local school district was impressed with the proposal you wrote for him about the role families and communities play in promoting optimal cognitive development. Based on your proposal, they have offered you a spot as a key presenter at a district-wide professional development workshop for teachers, where you will share your knowledge regarding cognitive development. All of these ideas will come together as you design your Professional Development Experience project. Before starting your Final Project, you are encouraged to view the Week Five Instructor Guidance for additional information, resources, and support, including a deeper look at the professionals you will work with in the field. Additionally, review the Grading Rubric for this assignment to understand how you will be evaluated and contact your instructor using the “Ask Your Instructor” tab before the due date with questions.
In order to develop this comprehensive workshop for the targeted professional development population, the principal has given you specific talking points that must be addressed. You will use these talking points to guide your creation of a presentation using PowerPoint or Google Slides. In the slide notes section, please make sure to support the information you have shared on each slide. Finally, make sure to include a title and reference slide for your presentation.

Trachea is often called as Wind pipe. It is a long tube.
Trachea is supported by a large number of ‘C’ shaped cartilagenous rings which support and prevent trachea from closing and collapsing. It is present in the neck. Function of trachea is to send the air into bronchi and send the air from bronchi to out
Trachea on entering into the chest will be called as Bronchus. In the chest bronchus divides into two each bronchus enters into each lung.

PLEASE HAVE CITATIONS

Format any citations according to APA guidelines.

Instructions: The question is worth 10 points. Your response must be a minimum of 50 words and show comprehension of the topic through providing examples, related information, information gathered from research, etc. You must note where your sources came from! The discussion board question is meant to engage your critical thinking skills! Please be respectful of varied thoughts, opinions, etc. Each question should be answered individually.
Discussion  1
Question-Introduction and Research (75points): Is homosexuality biologically based or not? Provide specific examples and research to support your response.
Discussion  2
Question- Motivation (75points):  Everyone has preferences when it comes to mate selection! Individuals have an “ideal mate” and sometimes make extensive lists to find that person. In knowing that we have varied preferences, what motivates one’s behavior in seeking out certain individuals as a mate? Does cultural, evolutionary, social ideas, etc play a part?The post This is a PSYC 2301 HOMEWORK first appeared on Nursing School Essays.

Final ProjectTo complete the following final paper, go to this week’s Final Project link in the left navigation. 
Curriculum Unit PlanThe focus of the final project is to develop a one-week unit plan. You will create a curriculum plan as a document using Microsoft Word and a media version. The media version can be a website (e.g., using Weebly.com, GoogleSites.com, NewHive.com, Wix.com or LucidPress.com) or an alternative format (e.g., PowerPoint), which must be approved in advance by the instructor. The curriculum plan demonstrates your mastery of the four course learning outcomes and the media version demonstrates your ability to use technology to communicate your mastery to a wider audience. The curriculum plan you create will span one week of instruction and include several components, which are described in the instructions below. Additionally, review the Instructor Guidance for Week Five for additional assistance beyond the instructions provided here with the assignment. Be sure also to review the Grading Rubric associated with this final project to understand how you will be evaluated. It is recommended you use headings throughout your writing to organize sections. Sections are indicated below in italics and bold font and are followed by the instructions for that section.InstructionsProfessional Curriculum Plan
