Select a country (NOT the United States) and research their educational system. Describe a brief overview this system. Investigate and discuss at least two areas of the system that interest you. Ideas can include such areas as: information on literacy rates, average level of education, length of the school day and school year, unique teaching methods, differences in public vs private schools, costs of education, salaries for teachers, equity or equality issues, dropout rates, emphasis on sports or physical education, parental involvement, discipline, testing, lunch menus, adjustments due COVID-19 or other areas. I am looking for your thoughts, reactions, suggestions, compliments, assessment or evaluation. What do you THINK??? Include at least one weblink to illustrate at least one of your areas of interest.
Canvas Web Activities must be completed by the posted deadline listed on the syllabus.
To obtain any points, the student must complete/submit the activity on Canvas by the posted deadline in the syllabus. It will not be accepted late under any circumstances. You will not be able to access the activities after the posted deadline. At a minimum…. Responses to activities should be at least THREE fully detailed paragraphs. Each paragraph should have at least 6- 8 sentences. They should be well thought out, organized, clearly presented and checked for basic spelling and grammar. I am looking to see that you fully understand and can apply the course concepts. REMEMBER…. MINIMAL EFFORT EQUALS MINIMAL GRADE (20-30 POINTS). IF YOU WISH TO EARN THE MAXIMUM POINTS, YOU MUST SHOW MAXIMUM EFFORT AND MASTERY OF THE COVERED CONCEPTS AND MATERIALS. (Basic grading rubric: Below Expectations: 0-10 points, Needs Improvement: 11-20 points, Meets Expectations: 21- 30 points, Exceeds Expectations: 31-40 points.) A more detailed rubric will be posted on Canvas. Points will be deducted for not meeting the basic requirements. Please do not procrastinate.
