Education conveys to the young, responses to the most profound questions of life - questions of truth and falsehood, of beauty and ugliness, or good and evil. These affirmations may be expressed in what an education fails to do as well as in what it does, in what it rejects as well as in what it adopts. Education may serve any cause… it may serve tyranny as well as freedom, ignorance as well as enlightenment, falsehood as well as truth, war as well as peace, death as well as life. It may lead men and women to think they are free even as it rivets upon them chains of bondage

SUPPORT NOTES FOR THIS TASK

If you go back to the second assessment task, you will remember that will outlined in some detail a suggested way to dissect an assessment task. It revolved around the following aspects of completing your task:

1. 
   What is the Content for the Task -we suggested going through and identifying each noun so that you understand what content is required of you;


2. 
   What is the Action for the Task -this is about slowing down enough to see what verbs describe what you should do with what you know;


3. 
   Other Information -justifying your ideas from the literature (there is lots in the course - use it well) is important for both sections;


4. 
   Key Resources -this is an end point task, so using key references from each topic would demonstrate that you are competent to engage with the core ideas from the course;


5. 
   Assessment Rubrics -notice the personal philosophy (notice the elements also listed in the assessment rubric) is worth 40%; the teaching strategies (pedagogy) 25%; approaches to learning goals (also with elements listed - this is also part of your pedagogy) 25%; and your APA7 presentation (10%).
