Model 1 Analysis: Case Study Preparation
Prior to starting this program, I thought it would be wonderful to be able to teach a consumer education course online. Since starting this program, I have been granted permission by my school board to create an online summer school session of consumer education to ‘test run’ it for possible traditional school year use.
Introduction to District 95’s First Online Course
The following will be about the very first online course for District 95, and the creation of that course through the use of instructional design.

This course is Consumer Education online. The reason for the creation of this course is that the school has not yet had any online courses and there is a need to have students learn …show more content…

In my short time in this school, I noticed that students were taking online consumer education, through outside sources. This was leading to the business department losing students, which lowered our Full Time Equivalent (FTE). This course idea was developed because the business department was worried about the number of students that were taking the Consumer Education course from other districts, to fulfill Illinois’ high school requirement of a consumer education course. This was leading to a decrease in students taking classes through the business department, which resulted in losing FTE. With the decline of the population and the increased interest in online/distance learning increasing and becoming more popular, I proposed that the district allow us to create our own online …show more content…

Those objectives fall within seven sub-units of this unit. Please refer to Figure 1. for the sub-unit breakdown along with the objectives that will be completed through that sub-unit. Through the use of ed-puzzle and Canvas quizzes, the learners will be able to have formative check-ins through mini-lectures inside of the LMS.
Within the Taxes Unit, the students will have many formative assessments. These formative assessments will come in the form of quizzes, assignments, and discussion board posts. The summative for this unit will be a two-part assessment; part one is scenario based and part two is a reflective essay. For the scenario part, the learner will be given one of three scenarios, and will need to read through the scenario, fill out the W4 form, and file a 1040 EZ form for the individual in the scenario. The second part of the assessment will be a reflective essay on income distribution and redistribution through taxation. Through the reflective essay the learner will analyze two of the government provided programs; welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, and their pros and cons to the tax

For the assessment blueprint, I will be discussing 4 different L.T. (Learning Targets) and describe what the assessment items are and how the items will be giving my students based on a story called The Lion and the Mouse.

Not all students can afford the classes and the district cannot pay for them. The smaller community colleges have been offered incentives to offer those classes at little or no cost. So, the challenge is working with schools that have funding but are not in our immediate community and arranging for the educators in both schools to collaborate. Benefits of the reform so

When I enrolled in college, my student advisor went over my degree plan, and made recommendations on what courses I would need in the pursuit of my degree. Thinking to myself, that I had not been in a school environment since 1991, I had my fears and didn’t know how I would conform inside a classroom with younger students who was straight out of high school or no more than five years removed. The student advisor recommended that I begin my degree with WRTG 101, and that I take this course online. Online courses appeared to be the path to take, because you can learn at your own pace without holding other students up and looking dumb while doing it. Taking WRTG 101 in an online format proved not to be the best solution, because I have always been a face to face, teacher present type of learner, and I am not a computer savvy individual.

A common wish among Americans is if they were President they would change so much and do what is best for everyone. Now common sense suggest that this would most likely not happen.

The essay topic that I have chosen is number nine, which was to define and defend the personal income tax policy that I would use. In researching plans it was difficult to choose between the current plan known as The Progressive Plan versus a plan many politicians and businessmen endorse known as a Flat Tax Plan. There is no clear-cut “winner” so to speak and both plans would need changes in order for me to endorse either of them in good conscience. That being said, a plan has to be chosen as this country could not flourish without some form of taxation.

students are turning toward online education as a way of getting a high school diploma or college degree. Students no longer need to sit in a classroom all day — restricted to one space, and expected to learn within a limited school day.
