The United States Treasury was facing collapse as European banks exchanged U.S. paper money for gold during the Panic of 1893. John P. Morgan, a New York investment banker, came up with a plan to use an old Civil War statute that allowed Morgan and the various Rothchilds banks in Europe to sell 3.5 million ounces of gold directly to the U.S. Treasury in exchange for a 30-year bond issue. At that time the various Rothschild banks in Europe held the largest private fortune in the world.Treasury Bailout Essay TopicOn February 20, 1895, President Cleveland agreed to Morgan’s plan. The government would buy the gold coin from Morgan’s investment group at $17.80 per ounce, in exchange for $62.3 million worth of 30 year bonds paying 4%. Under the terms of the deal, Morgan and Rothschild purchased the bonds at $104.50. The bonds could be resold immediately. Morgan sold the bonds between $112.25 to $120.00 earning a profit of between $6 and $7 million himself. So strong was the demand for the bonds that they sold out in 22 minutes.

Pedagogy is a broad term used to describe the science and art of effective teaching. Student learning is reliant upon a teacher’s ability to select specific methods and strategies that meet the needs of all students. Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience. Part 1: Observation Observe your mentor teacher in your chosen content area delivering lessons and interacting with students. While observing one specific lesson, take notes using the “Observation, Interview, and Reflection” template . Part 2: Interview Outside of class time, interview your mentor teacher on his or her instructional strategies. Keep in mind the most recent lesson you observed and the pedagogical approaches used during this lesson. Include the following topics in your interview: What effective, research-based pedagogical strategies does your mentor teacher typically use during instruction? How does your mentor teacher connect instruction to students’ backgrounds and interests? How does your mentor teacher differentiate instruction to meet the needs of exceptional students, including students with gifted abilities, students with disabilities, as well as English language learners? How does your mentor teacher integrate technological tools into instructional planning and day-to-day professional practices? You do not need to submit interview notes to the LMS, but you are strongly encouraged to take notes to inform Part 3 of the assignment. Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
