Week 6 Assignment 2 – Skills Analysis with Media Component

Overview

This assignment consists of two sections: a skill analysis paper and a media presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. 

Section 1: Media Presentation

Create a 15-minute media or multimedia presentation in which you:

Display the ways in which you have applied or planned to apply what you learned in the M.Ed. program (regarding the skill, lesson, or accomplishment that you identified) within your current or prospective work environment.  

• Include any of (but not limited to) the following forms of media: audio files, videos, PowerPoint presentations with animation, Prezi presentations, or pictures of classroom activities or projects.

Note: When incorporating information from the workplace, be sure to remove all identifying information such as the name of the organization, the names of individual affiliates, and sensitive or proprietary information. Check with your supervisor before you share information from your workplace.

• Section 2: Skill Analysis Paper
• Write a commentary of your media presentation. Analyze the development of your teaching, coaching, training, or leadership skills throughout your M.Ed. program coursework. Focus upon a specific skill, lesson, or accomplishment related to both your portfolio theme and your work environment. 

Use the Internet or the Strayer University Library to research strategies for enhancing your effectiveness in applying your knowledge to your teaching, coaching, training, or leadership.

Write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

Explain the key specific skill, lesson, or accomplishment upon which you are focusing. Describe your current or prospective work environment in order to establish a context for your analysis. 

Analyze key aspects of your coursework that contributed to the development of the specific skill, lesson, or accomplishment upon which you are focusing. Provide one to three pieces of evidence, artifacts, or examples that demonstrate your knowledge and growth with respect to the skill, lesson, or accomplishment in question. 

• Analyze the manner in which your media presentation illustrates the previous or future application of your knowledge to your teaching, coaching, training, or leadership efforts. Provide a rationale for your analysis. Include a brief discussion of the ways in which your media presentation demonstrates application of at least one pertinent learning theory that you studied during your M.Ed. program coursework.
• Specify at least two research-based techniques, ideas, or recommendations that you plan to employ in the future to enhance your effectiveness as a teacher, coach, trainer, or leader.
• Note: The papers, artifacts, or examples that you provided are not included in the required page length but must be attached within an appendix. If you do not have an artifact, attach the description or descriptions of your chosen previous assignment or assignments.
