Using a minimum of two (2) United States Supreme Court decisions discuss the evolution of the doctrine of Special Needs Searches without a search warrant.

We’ve all been in a classroom (maybe our own) where the teacher assigns a group project with no more guidance than passing out the materials needed. In the self-managed classroom, intentional group work is key. Collaborating with peers around meaningful academic work supports students’ healthy development, academically and socially, in ways that a teacher alone cannot.
Every group is made up of individuals with their own needs, which lends special importance to the teacher’s role in students’ group work. The grouping of students should be carefully planned like any other part of the lesson. Once students are grouped, the expectations for how they work together must be taught, practiced, and assessed.

Then answer the following question;
Why is it important to have organized steps, timeframes, and norms for students to follow in the classroom?
How can protocols help you to become an effective teacher and help the students achieve academic success in the classroom?

Part of becoming a professional educator is reading and seeking out new information in an effort to get smarter and become more aware of what’s going on in the field of education. There are plenty of hot topics and debates happening in education all the time: teachers going on strike, guns and schools, the rise of charter schools, test-and-standards-driven culture, teacher evaluations tied to student performance, disappearing recess and play.
For this assignment, you will locate a news article that has to do with teaching, child development, education methodologies, educational learning, or anything relevant to the field of education. Write about the major issue in education being discussed, share provocative questions being asked, and potential solutions to consider pertaining to the article.
Your assignment should be a minimum of 4-pages in length. Be sure to use APA formatting in your paper. Included a list of references (minimum of two sources.)

This project asks you to create a multimodal/multimedia/presentation project using a concept you draw from Ebony Elizabeth Thomas’s The Dark Fantastic to respond to Okorafor’s Akata Witch. In particular, it should draw some connection to the literary discourse surrounding magic as we have seen it demonstrated in the texts we have studied this semester. It may help you to have a defined argument from which to work.
