Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Discussion 1
Week Five Case Study Analysis
  
   In the Week 5 Case Study:   Dispositions/Closure,   we learn that the parents of Mrs. Ashland’s student nominate her for Golden   Apple Award. In their nominations the parents express what she has done for   their child and each child’s storyline is wrapped up through these explanations.   

 
  After reading Week Five Case Study, imagine you are a judge on the panel who   determines which teachers receive the Channel 6 Golden Apple Award.  As   you do with each submission you receive, you need to analyze the letter you   received about Mrs. Ashland using the dispositions of effective early   childhood educators (Chapter 9) and NAEYC’s Statement of Commitment to   determine if she possesses the necessary qualities to receive the   award.  Defend your position to recommend or decline Mrs. Ashland for   this award by clearly identifying which dispositions she does or does not   possesses and whether or not she displays the characteristics stated in   NAEYC’s Statement of Commitment.

 
Guided Response: After completing your own review of Mrs. Ashland’s   submission you are required to meet with at least two other members of the   panel to collaborate on your findings. Respectfully critique your fellow   panel member’s decision about Mrs. Ashland’s nomination by providing at least   two pieces of evidence as to why you agree or disagree with their decision.
