Assignment : Educational Law Project Presentation
In your assignments, journal activity, and discussion, you have researched and analyzed case law related to school desegregation; church-state interaction; education of students with disabilities and English Language Learners (ELL) students; teacher rights; school and district responsibilities; and funding.
You are now tasked with presenting information for a model school district or school system that includes an overview and summary statements relevant to case law to present to the state department of education. Create a presentation using Prezi or similar software in order to present your research.
The information within your presentation will assist the state department of education in developing a district-wide professional development plan geared toward improving the overall test scores of the schools within the district.
Note: A video to help students record narration for the PowerPoint presentation is available in the course shell.
Prepare a ten (10) slide presentation in which you:
Present your findings using Prezi, PowerPoint, or a presentation software of your choice. (Note: Notify the professor on Week 7 concerning the software you choose to use for the presentation).
Include a title slide and references section. (These two (2) slides are not part of the ten (10) slide minimum requirement).
Develop a creative, appealing presentation using your chosen tool for a professional audience, using two to three (2-3) colors, two to three (2-3) fonts, and two to three (2-3) other visuals or graphics.
Provide coherent, clear, organized, and substantive content that can be easily understood by the audience.
