Each section of the chapter should get a few sentences.

Assignment 1 The ability to effectively manage a classroom and meet the behavior and instructional needs of students both with and without disabilities is very complex.Choose a special education classroom, selecting the grade level (K-12) and classroom setting (resource, self-contained, or inclusive classroom) you are most interested in teaching. You will use this field experience to observe and experience the many considerations involved in that setting.Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.Observe and collaborate with a K-12 certified special education teacher in an inclusive classroom, resource room, and/or self-contained classroom on the elements that help create a positive, safe, and productive learning environment. Your final observations and summary of your hands-on experiences will be due in Clinical Field Experience B.While you are observing, use the "Observation Template" to take notes about the elements of the classroom learning environment.Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.At the bottom of the "Observation Template," provide a 250 word rationale why you chose this grade level and environment to observe. Summarize your findings about the elements of the classroom learning environment in the "Observation Template."Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice, specifically in terms of how you will work with paraprofessionals, other faculty members, and teachers.APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.Assignment 2 Special education teachers often provide training and support to general education teachers to promote successful inclusive practices in their classrooms.

In many organizations, being people-centered is considered soft, irrelevant, and unrelated to profitability. Based on the video, “Everybody Matters: A Documentary Short Based on the Best Selling Book” and the assigned readings on conscious capitalism, contemplate the conscious capitalism principles (e.g., conscious leadership, stakeholder orientation, conscious culture, and higher purpose) as a framework. Consider at least two companies that successfully adopted this business philosophy to gain success and combat traditional corporate approaches. How do these companies embody the tenet of “higher purpose” and create deeper meaning by focusing their goals beyond profits and inspiring stakeholders? What connections can you identify between the four principles of conscious capitalism and the Christian concept of putting others before oneself?http://www.consciouscapitalism.org
