INTRODUCTION

As an educational professional, it will be imperative that you understand the role of historical and cultural influences, including issues of current federal and state governance, in determining educational best practices in diverse learning settings to inform teaching practices.

In this task, you will demonstrate your understanding of the classroom settings and educational learning experiences in relationship to the historical, cultural, and current educational requirements at both the state and federal level. You will do this by analyzing classroom environments and instructional lessons from multiple school settings.

Western Governors University employs a three-step developmental framework to support you through your preclinical and clinical experiences. This framework also helps to ensure you exit the program confident in your ability to meet the needs of your future students and school system. This assessment falls under step one of the three-step framework. In this task, you will engage in activities that will go toward preclinical hours of your Early Preclinical Experiences requirements.
