This is an example of 4E.
-
This shows understanding of Standard 4E: "Understand how a students' learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning as well as language, culture, and other samples of student thinking." Asking students to brainstorm about the topic they are about to study activates their prior knowledge so they can potentially make a connection between the new material and what they already know.

Discuss the responses with the students
-
3G --use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking;" By eliciting student voices in a discussion the teacher can understand how they relate to the concepts that are being taught today.

What types of technology or trends will you use in your classroom?
-
I love TED talks myself as something to use. I also plan to use a family connection app to reach out to parents, or at least texting parents. Keeping track and learning to use whatever new tech is being used by students is something I am planning on doing. I have no real idea on what is coming next for tech but I am planning on using it as best as I can.

Hi, Debi! I also love TED Talks like Joe and because of that I'm a little sad I may not be able to include them in my classroom if I teach in the primary grades like I hope to do. Where I'm at now, I hope that technology will be a help and not in a hindrance in my classroom. I think that using YouTube projected on the Smart Board would be a great way to show read alouds of books I don't have in the classroom, for kids yoga, Go Noodle, chromebooks for ABCYA, playing music for cleanup or relaxing music during writer's workshop, using an Amazon Echo in the classroom for music and timers as well as a break time for kids to ask it questions, etc. I've heard from my mentor school that they use Class Dojo to stay updated with parents and I hope to learn more about that. I know that Google Classroom is great and is what my mentor school used for distance learning.

Eligibility To get coverage, you must: Be a Minnesota resident Be a U.S. citizen or a qualifying noncitizen Provide a Social Security number for each person requesting MA, unless an exception is met Meet the income limit and asset limit, if any Meet any other program rules. What is the income limit? The income limit and calculations depend on your age and who lives with you. If you are pregnant, blind or have a disability, you also may have a different income limit. Some people who do not meet the income limit still may qualify using a spenddown (PDF). A spenddown is like an insurance deductible. This means you are responsible for some medical bills before MA pays. What is the asset limit? Assets are items people own like cars, checking and savings accounts, your home and financial investments. Generally, there is no asset limit for MA for parents, children under 21 and adults without children in the home. Parents and caretaker relatives eligible for MA with a spenddown have an asset limit (PDF). Seniors and people age 21 and older who are blind or have a disability have an asset limit (PDF). Assets that do not count toward the limit include the home where you live, household goods, personal items like clothing and jewelry, and certain assets owned by an American Indian. What if I have other insurance? You still may qualify for MA. You must tell us if you have other health insurance or could get coverage through an employer or military service. Sometimes we can pay the cost of the other insurance so you can keep that coverage.
-
Benefits What is covered and how much does it cost? MA pays for a variety of services like doctor visits, prescriptions and hospital stays. Some services and prescriptions may require prior approval. For some members, there is no cost. Others may have to pay a portion of the cost of a service. This may include copays, deductibles or spenddowns. A summary of covered services and costs is online. A printable summary of covered services and costs (PDF) is also available. You will get more details on covered services after your application is approved. When does coverage start? MA may pay for medical bills going back three months from the month we get your application.

Gifted and Talented vs Advanced Placement: Know the Difference to Prevent GT Burnout - ... - 0 views
-
When a child has been identified as gifted and talented, this means that they have a greater potential for learning in at least one subject. GT kids can be exceedingly creative or intensely analytical. They can be socially mature or delayed, they can be introverts or extroverts, goofballs or unusually serious. In other words, you can’t stuff them into a single easy to categorize box.

Gifted and Talented vs Advanced Placement
-
They need more time to think and explore, not more time doing homework and yet some schools work on the false impression that GT simply means ‘academic superstar’ and pile on the AP classes and maintaining this schedule is expected in order to keep your ‘gifted’ qualification.
