No page numbers

APA ordinarily requires page numbers for quotations, summaries, and paraphrases. When an electronic source lacks stable numbered pages, include paragraph numbers or headings to help readers locate the particular passage being cited.

If the source has numbered paragraphs, use the paragraph number preceded by the abbreviation “para.”: (Hall, 2008, para. 5). If the source contains headings, cite the appropriate heading in parentheses; you may also indicate the paragraph under the heading that you are referring to, even if the paragraphs are not numbered.

Leading through quiet example, our program embodies core principles we believe are essential elements of teacher education reform. In particular, we emphasize clinical practice via a “co-teaching” model and seek to interweave theories investigated within graduate school courses with the practical concerns of teachers’ day-to-day classroom challenges.

California Education Code Section 233.5 (a)

233.5 (a) Each teacher shall endeavor to impress upon the minds of the pupils the principles of morality, truth, justice, patriotism, and a true comprehension of the rights, duties, and dignity of American citizenship, and the meaning of equality and human dignity, including the promotion of harmonious relations, kindness toward domestic pets and the humane treatment of living creatures, to teach them to avoid idleness, profanity, and falsehood, and to instruct them in manners and morals and the principles of a free government.

student’s need to feel safe, accepted, and valued.

We all have been in
schools and classrooms that “feel
special,” where student-tostudent and student-teacher
interactions are especially
warm and positive, and there
is evidence everywhere of the
high value placed on students
as individuals. In these places,
a critical connection has been
made between a school’s academic mission and a student’s
need to feel safe, accepted, and valued.

CHKS | Resilience & Youth Development

Resilience Theory

At its foundation, a resilience-based approach to youth development is based upon the principle that all people have the ability to overcome adversity and to succeed in spite of their life circumstances. Resilience is a strengths-based construct, meaning its focus is on providing the developmental supports and opportunities (protective factors) that promote success, rather than on eliminating the factors that promote failure.

new teachers

Adjusting working conditions. Unless specific
administrative steps are taken to protect them,
beginning teachers often end up with the toughest
assignments. To make life less stressful for them,
administrators can reduce the number of students in
beginners’ classrooms, refrain from assigning them
the most challenging students, and minimize their
extracurricular and committee assignments. At the
elementary school level, in particular, administrators
can avoid assigning combination grades. At the
secondary school level, administrators can make sure
that new teachers’ course schedules
require as few separate preparation
efforts as possible. They can also
avoid assigning schedules that
require new teachers to change
classrooms during the day. In this era
of tight resources, it must also be
said that beginning teachers,
especially, suffer when classrooms
are not adequately stocked with
textbooks, desks, supplementary
materials, and basic supplies.

WebWork is an online homework system that will be used extensively in this course. Each homework assignment will have an associated WebWork assignment. To complete a WebWork assignment, follow these simple steps:

Log in to WebWork: Go to WebWork and log in using your NetID as your username and your 9 digit RUID as your initial password. You should change this password once you have logged in.

Open the current assignment: Once you have logged in, you will see a list of the assigned problem sets, along with their due dates. For example the first assignment is called WbWk01. Click on the desired problem set and you will see the list of problems on that assignment. You will also have the option to “download a hardcopy of this homework set.” This option is useful if you want to print the problems out, solve them with pencil and paper, then enter the answers at another time.

Select a problem: Click on one of the problems from the list and WebWork will display the problem and the field you will use to enter your answer(s). If you are worried about the typesetting or format of the answer, you can click “Preview Answers” to see how your answer will be displayed.

Submit your answer for that problem: When you have entered your answer, click “Submit Answers” to submit your answer(s) for this problem only. WebWork will immediately tell you if your answer is correct! On most questions you will have multiple attempts allowed, so if you make a mistake try try again, without being penalized.

Move on to the next problem: Once you have submitted your answer for a problem, and you are satisfied with your score, you can move on by clicking the “Next” or “Previous” buttons at the top of the page. You can also click the “Prob. List” button to return to the problem list. This list will now show the progress you have made in completing the assignment. Keep in mind that you can log out of WebWork at any time and return later to finish the assignment.

You may notice that the problems on your WebWork assignment are different from those of your classmates. This is because WebWork randomizes each student’s problems. The type of problem will be the same for everyone, but the numbers appearing in the problem will be different.

If you are having trouble with WebWork try these help sites: Logging into WeBWorK, Changing your email address or password, Completing homework online.

Mathematics As A Second Language

Our algebra course is designed to combat students’ misconception that a calculator is all they need to solve any arithmetic problem. In fact, our algebra course is based on using the basic rules of arithmetic to paraphrase problems that can’t be solved with a calculator into equivalent problems that can be solved by using the calculator.
