Early Education
This assignment is worth 25 extra credit points (the video says 5, but let’s make it 25!) 🙂
For this assignment, you will need to watch the Stephen Ceci video, “Truth and Consequence”. Then, answer the following question in a 750-word response:
Imagine you are a jury member in a case with a child eyewitness. Would you put more credence in the eyewitness testimony of a child who had a lot of prior knowledge about the person who was accused of a crime or a child who had never met the person? Why? Use evidence and terminology from the video to support your answer. Then, write one thing that you learned from the video that surprised you.
Write a thoughtful, 750 word (double-spaced, 12 pt. font, 1” margins) response based on what you learned in the video. You must cite specific things from the video to get credit. Upload to canvas as a word doc.

Incarceration Nation: Why Is This Happening? What’s To Be Done?
Sociologists are increasingly concerned with with the size and composition of the U.S. prison population which has continued to grow to historically unprecedented levels, globally speaking. As members of a democratic society, these trends should be of concern to us all and a social problem that needs to be openly discussed. In this week’s second conference I want you to read and analyze data from a several reports that will give you an empirical basis for understanding U.S. imprisonment trends.
What You Should Do
Read Chapter 6 from your textbook in its entirety, taking careful notes as you do.
Click on and read through each of the following reports. The Pew Charitable Trust’s report titled “Pew Prison Count 2010” (https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/pew_ctr_state_prison_count_2010.pdf). The short report contains some fascinating charts, tables and text that complement the “Prison Problem” section of your textbook. While the U.S. prison populations in some states have dropped somewhat over the four year period between 2008-2012 (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cpus12.pdf), as of 2013 the U.S. still has the largest prisoner population in the world both in absolute terms and when viewed as a rate (http://www.businessinsider.com/world-map-of-incarceration-rates-2014-1).
Write a series of substantial, edited paragraphs in which you react to the dimensions of the report. Whatever aspects of the data and analysis you focus are up to you. However, in doing so, I want you to make sure that at a minimum you address the following questions. First, why do you think that the prison population trends have occurred? Second, what do you think can be done to alleviate the situation to reduce recidivism and ultimately the future size of the U.S. prison population?

Estate Planning
ESTATE & GIFT TAX
Review problem #5
Joan, a widow, died on January 15, 2017. At her death Joan owned many assets with the following FMV at DOD (fair market value at time of death):
savings account $2,350,000
checking account $3,000
California tax exempt municipal bonds $100,000
1,000 shares of Cisco stock [the high and low for the Cisco share on DOD (date of death) was $19 and $21]
A thoroughbred horse named George appraised at DOD for $900,000 but the executor of the estate was only able to sell it at the Kentucky yearly thoroughbred auction in March of 2017 for $500,000.
residence $3,500,000, which is subject to a mortgage of $300,000
joint and survivor checking account with her son John in which she contributed all the funds $50,000
personal and household goods $15,000
Joan was a beneficiary of a testamentary trust created under the will of her late uncle George, pursuant to which she was entitled to income for life from the trust payable at least annually and over which she had a power to appoint the entire trust assets in favor of anyone. The value of the trust corpus at Joan’s DOD equals $1,000,000.
In June of 1999 Joan created an irrevocable trust with $500,000. She was the income beneficiary for 10 years and the remainderman was her nephew Jimmy. The value of the trust at Joan’s DOD was $4,500,000 (Use Table B Term Certain for assumed 6% rate in June of 1999…(actual was 6.4%)).
Joan transferred her $500,000 term life insurance on her life into an irrevocable insurance trust in June of 2013.
Joan was the income beneficiary for her life of a trust created by her Uncle Tom. The remainderman was her nephew Jimmy. The value of the trust $300,000.
Joan owned whole life $300,000 insurance policy on the life of her son John. At the time of her death the surrender value is $20,000.
Joan owned annuities for her life. During her lifetime she received $12,000 per year.
funeral and administrative expenses $25,000
charitable donation to Rady Children’s Hospital $100,000
her will provides that all her estate is to pass to John.
a. Calculate Joan’s taxable estate
b. Calculate the amount of Joan’s estate tax

Effective Teaching in Physical Education/Behavior Management Plan.
During the first 1/3 of the semester, we have covered information related to establishing a positive learning environment. Summarize
how you will apply what we’ve covered by developing a “Behavior Management Plan.” Submit this to BBLearn and also attach it to
your professional portfolio. Include the following sections:
? Philosophy/Overview
Give a brief statement of your approach to managing a class, the factors that influence kids behavior and the overall classroom
environment (eg task design, teacher expectations etc). Describe extrinsic/intrinsic approaches, and the approach you will take
to create a positive learning environment. Describe how you the teacher create the positive classroom environment. Discuss the
interaction of how task design, protocols, strategies to minimize, rules, and the discipline system interact.
? Protocols – In a bulleted list, list your protocol categories with the specific expectations in each category.
? List and summarize strategies to minimize off-task behavior, and how you can use them.
? Rules – What are your classroom rules (list them), and how would you present them to your students.
? Discipline Policy – What is your policy, and when is it put into effect?

Philosophy/Overview
of Management Plan
(4.5)
An inaccurate or incomplete plan is presented,
does not include accurate statements of intrinsic
and/or extrinsic approaches to behavior
management. Refers solely to one approach or
the other, or the approach described is
inaccurate.
An adequate overview of the behavior management plan
is presented and includes a clear overview of the
purpose of a management plan, the differences between
intrinsic and extrinsic approaches, and a personal
statement on the approach demonstrated in the
remainder of the plan. Most information is clearly
articulated and is appropriate for a new teacher.
The overview is thorough and accurate and reflects
accurate application and understanding of a behavioral
management plan. Includes advanced use/description
of intrinsic and extrinsic approaches to behavior
management, may include strategies for promoting
responsibility. How the components of the plan
interact is clearly presented.
Strategies for
Minimizing Off-task
behavior (4.5)
A short list of strategies are included, some of
which are written so that understanding of the
approaches is not clear.
Multiple approaches to minimizing off-task behavior are
described accurately, including the following: proximity
control, back to the wall, selective ignoring, student
demonstrations, etc…
Includes accurate description of the application of
strategies covered in class, but adds additional
strategies such as active strategies for teaching
responsibility (e.g. Hellison’s strategies)
Protocols (4.5) The list is incomplete and or includes only the
categories for which protocols are necessary.
Descriptions are general and do not provide
specific expectations.
The protocol list is comprehensive and includes
adequate detail for most protocol categories so that
teacher expectations are clear. For example, “stop & go”
protocols would state information similar to “stop, look
and listen with equipment on the ground at your feet,
wait for the go signal before proceeding”
The protocol list is comprehensive and includes
adequate detail for all protocol categories so that
teacher expectations are clear. For example, “stop &
go” protocols would state information similar to “stop,
look and listen with equipment on the ground at your
feet, wait for the go signal before proceeding”
Rules (4.5) Rules are not all phrased positively, and/or
would not be sufficient to address behaviors
commonly exhibited by students in K-12
schools. Some protocols may be included as
rules.
Rules are sufficient to address behaviors commonly
exhibited by K-12 students, do not include protocols,
and are phrased positively.
Rules are sufficient to address behaviors commonly
exhibited by K-12 students, do not include protocols,
and are phrased positively. Additional detail for how
the rules will be explained and taught to students is
included.
Discipline Policy (4.5) The discipline policy outlined seems
inconsistent and/or developmentally
inappropriate.
A clear and specific discipline policy is present,
developmentally appropriate, and would be acceptable
for use in a K-12 school.
A clear and specific discipline policy is present,
developmentally appropriate, and would be acceptable
for use in a K-12 school. Evidence of how the
discipline policy is enacted is present.
