In this assignment, you will expand your understanding of inferential statistics involving correlation and linear regression. Complete the following:
1. Produce an SPSS analysis for a correlation between participants’ self-esteem and productivity.
Provide the null and alternative hypotheses. (Hint: The relationship between variables.)
Discuss the difference between the Pearson correlation and the Spearman correlation. Explain when it is appropriate to use one or the other. (Hint: Level of measurement of the variables.)
Determine if a Pearson correlation or Spearman correlation will be used by conducting the assumptions tests. Explain what correlation analysis was conducted and explain why that test was conducted.
What is the measure for effect size in a correlation analysis?
Conduct the correlation analysis. What is the effect size in this correlation analysis? Explain whether it is small, medium, or large.
Report the results in APA format. (Hint: Follow the guidelines in the APA manual to report statistical results.)
What decision can be made from these results regarding the null hypothesis?
2. Produce an SPSS analysis using linear regression to examine whether participants’ years of experience predict their productivity.
Provide the null and alternative hypotheses. (Hint: This is related to prediction.)
What is the measure for effect size in a linear regression analysis?
Test assumptions of a linear regression analysis and copy/paste results.
Conduct the linear regression analysis. What is the effect size in this linear regression analysis? Explain whether it is small, medium, or large.
Report the results in APA format. (Hint: Follow the guidelines in the APA manual to report statistical results.)
What decision can be made from these results regarding the null hypothesis? Given only two variables were examined in the linear regression analysis, how does testing the significance of the linear regression equation relate to testing the significance of the Pearson correlation analysis?
Discuss how you could turn this example into a multiple regression analysis instead of a linear regression analysis.
Part II. Chi-Square
You will be entering and analyzing the following data in SPSS. When entering the data, please use 1 for Red, 2 for Yellow, and 3 for Green. Make sure that you go to the variable view window and enter these values in the label box.
Twenty senior students were asked to choose the color they preferred for their senior-class shirt. Conduct a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to test the null hypothesis that says there is no true difference in the population from which the sample was drawn.

The final exam for this course will be a Passion Paper (Approximately 3 double-spaced, 12pt font, clear, well-written pages)
Directions: Think of one interest or topic you are passionate about and how you could connect that passion to making your classroom a more positive, learning-focused environment. Incorporating your passion can be motivating for both you as the teacher and your students! For example, if you have a passion for reading, you might think of more creative opportunities built into your classroom environment for students to read throughout the day or to incorporate more outside-the-box reading-focused activities. If you love being outdoors, you might consider how to have more outdoor classroom experiences or bring the outdoors in! Or, if you enjoy a specific sport, how to incorporate that sport and more physical activity into the day in a way that positively engages students.
As you write this paper, think about what you have learned in this class about building positive learning environments (i.e., antecedents and strategies for increasing desired behavior; setting students up for success) and motivating students (i.e., teaching appropriate skills, using reinforcer strategies).
Explain how you believe incorporating this passion into your classroom …
(a) will improve the focus on positive behavior,
(b) will increase learning of skills, and
(c) will create an overall supportive environment for students in your classroom.
And, for each of the above explanations, tie in how the idea connects with a concept, principle, or strategy we have learned in class about behavior analysis. Please cite sources (i.e., textbook) as appropriate.

This is your final exam. Please use graduate level academic writing. You must use your own words throughout this paper – do not directly copy text from a source. You should cite sources when discussing specific content/examples you have learned. For example, if you discuss noncontingent reinforcement, you might cite the textbook as (Alberto & Troutman, p. 261). Citing does not mean to copy the text directly – please summarize or paraphrase specific content in your own words.
Be thoughtful and provide insightful written discussion that displays your understanding of the importance to create a positive educational environment and of your knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis as learned in this class. Provide specific details and examples to support your paper.
Please Note: Organize your paper with the headings below to make it clear you have addressed all components and to make it easier to read. Your paper should be submitted as a word document, 12pt font, double-spaced, and be approx. 3 pages in length.
So, in summary, the components to address in this paper and corresponding points are –
A brief descriiption of your passion and why it is important to you (5 points)
A discussion on how you believe incorporating this passion into your classroom will – (45 points)
(a) improve the focus on positive behavior
(b) increase learning of skills, and
(c) create an overall supportive environment for students in your classroom.
Build into this discussion a connection to at least 3 behavior analysis concepts, principles, or strategies learned from this class. (30 points)
Academic Writing (20 points) – Use your own words and provide citations to sources for specific examples and strategies. This paper should be clear, organized, and well-written with minimal typos or errors in grammar and spelling. Reread and edit before submitting.

Behavior Problems This week you read about identifying and serving students with behavior problems, as well as systems of school-wide positive behavior supports. For this discussion, pay attention to the issues that affect special education and how we discipline exceptional learners. Also, consider legal, ethical, and equitable challenges related to disciplining learners with special needs. For your main post, discuss some common types of disciplinary infractions for students in schools. What are some of the most common consequences for these infractions? Of the these consequences, which tend to be less effective, and how do we know? As a special education specialist, what behavior management techniques have you seen that were exceptionally effective, and what made them so? What are the essential components/aspects of more effective behavior management practices? (i.e., what makes them effective?). Do you believe misbehavior from students with exceptionalities should be handled differently than that from their typical peers? If so, how and why? Initial or Main Post: You are required to make an initial original post and at least three original peer response posts. Make sure your initial post thoroughly addresses all parts of the discussion prompt. Your comments should be clearly and concisely stated, demonstrating that the content was appropriately reviewed and synthesized. Include in-text citations and references in APA format. Utilize your text, course resources, and other scholarly literature to support your posts. Peer Responses: In order to meet minimum requirements, respond to at least three of your peers with substantive responses and support these responses with references.

Special Programs Presentation – Please read to the bottom! For this week, you will take your learning from the previous weeks and create a presentation designed for the professionals on campus you will serve when you are an educational leader. If you need extra time to create the presentation, please feel contact the instructor prior. Create these presentations with your dream goal in mind, whether that be a principal of a high school, district curriculum coordinator, etc., and create your presentation in a way that fits that career. There is no specific presentation format for this assignment, so you may choose from a video, slideshow, a flyer, or another medium. Your presentation should be accessible to colleagues of all abilities. Make sure you represent the audience or grade level that you are gearing your presentation for. Choose two of the following topics for your presentation, but do not choose your collaborative project topic. College, Career, and Military Readiness Counseling Social Emotional Learning Restorative Practices Health and Human Services Academic Preparation and Intervention Early Childhood Dyslexia Services Topics to Consider Including (which may or may not apply to all topics) Who is served by the program? How do students qualify for the program? (This may or may not apply) What does the program provide to students? Which teachers and/or staff members help to coordinate and/or support the program? What types of curriculum, interventions, and/or instructional approaches might be applicable to this student population? (This may or may not apply) How will you monitor and/or evaluate the program? (This may or may not apply) What are two mistakes people make working with students in the program, and how could they be avoided or remedied? (This might instead be applied to the mistakes parents or students make as well in their understanding or assumptions about the program) Use at least one or two peer-reviewed articles, websites, and/or resources from material other than the textbook. To obtain a higher score, you must incorporate information from at least three (3) sources. See the rubric for more information. If you decide to do a video, here are the instructions You will make a video of 8-10 minutes in length for this week (no longer than this!) with a more streamlined visual aid. You may use a PowerPoint presentation, Prezi, an infographic, a website, activities for the teachers to complete as you present, etc. as an aid to your video. To make a good video you should dress in professional attire, be professional in appearance, consider the background in the video, and have a well-lighted face (not lit from behind). Excellent audio is the most important feature It is recommended that you research and follow good presentation rules so you do not overwhelm the viewer with too much on any single slide. The presentation is a visual guide with most of the information coming from what you say in your video. *IMPORTANT: Your presentation must be accessible to colleagues of all abilities. Presentation images must have alternative text for accessibilityLinks to an external site.. If you will be using video for your aid, then it must include captioning. And if using audio, it must include an accurate transcript. Please see the UNT Audio and Video Captioning pageLinks to an external site. for more information.

Renaldo has far outreached the doctors’ predictions for his future abilities. Write an essay relating this case to the research literature about low expectations threatening to limit a child.
Dig deep on your reflection of the case study. What are your personal thoughts about the situation, do you have any person connection to any of the issues mentioned in the case study, how would you have handled things differently, do you agree with what happened, how might the knowledge of this case study impact your future classroom. There is no right or wrong for this part, unless you do do it of course 😉

The first decision student will make is the them or concept that ties the activity together to be shared with families. The instructor encourage students to choose a them/concept that aligns to current curriculum offered in the field setting. some suggestions for concepts are:
.STEM
. Diversity
. music & Movement
. fun in the kitchen
. going on a scavenger hunt
. my family & me
. having fun outside
. language literacy
. game night
. going to the grocery store
2) After the them/concept has been identified, student will need to make decisions about any materials for their activity. if students decide to include in their family engagement experience, the items should be play-based and developmentally appropriate (i.e.. age-appropriate, socially and culturally appropriate, individually appropriate). * Remember that children typically prefer authentic “real” items rather than toys when engaged in play. (for example, children can do and learn so much more with real, but broken, telephone than with a toy telephone.) As you examine materials, think about different ways that children could utilize these items. Do they promote movement? Conversation? Imaginative or role play? Be sure to consider the content areas that these items touch upon and include resources which are inclusive of the following domains:
.Physical Health and Motor Development
.Social and Emotional Development
.Language and Literacy
.Cognitive Development
extra points
.Mathematics
.Science
.Social Studies
.Creative Arts
take pictures of the active it can be cip art.
After creating the activity for children to do with there parents. write a 3 page paper answering the following questions.
1) Describe the materials included in your Family Engagement Experience and explain how they support specific content areas in early childhood education. How do these materials encourage play and learning about the them or concept you chose?
2) where did the idea for your them/concept come from? what resources did you use to gather your materials and books? ( pleases cite the information you may have used if your ideas came from an online website, a book, the library, etc.)
3) Describe in detail the activity or activities you have for what children and families can do with that materials in yours Family Engagement Experience i.e. what can children do with these materials on their own; what is an example of an adult-guided play activity, ect.). Describe one way the materials could be adapted/ modified for children and families members with special needs.
4A) Discuss how your Family Engagement Experience connects to the following required domains:
.Physical Health and Motor Development
.Social and Emotional Development
.Language and Literacy
.Cognitive Development
4B) Discuss how your Family Engagement Experience connects to the following optional domains:
.Mathematics
.Science
.Social Studies
.Creative Arts

5A) children’s learning occurs with in multiple contexts (i.e.., early learning settings, home, in the community, ect.) How do the materials and activates in your Family Engagement Experience reflect these settings? How do your materials and activates make connection between home- school- community?
5B) Discuss how your Family Engagement Experience provides opportunities for collaboration as partners with families in young children’s development and learning through respectful, reciprocal relationships and engagement.
6) Describe how you used professional communication skills to effectively support young children’s learning and development and to work with families and colleagues in the implementation of the Family Engagement Experience.
