Defensive and Supportive relationships

Defensive & Supportive Relationships 20 Points Possible Identify one relationship in which you feel on-guard and defensive, and one relationship in which you feel comfortable and supported. Describe and analyze the communication behaviors in each relationship. To what extent do the defensive and supportive communication behaviors explain the climates of these two relationships? I would limit the textual support to include information from chapters 8-10. I will be looking for specific concepts from the text clearly articulating the examples. Within the above mentioned chapters you may limit it to a few of the verbal or nonverbal messages communicated that create a supportive and defensive climate. This essay should be two pages in length and follow standard formatting guidelines.

How assessments influence classroom environments

Write a 750-1000 word reading assessment plan that includes creating and delivering instruction addressing diverse learning strengths and needs, as well as creating opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning in different ways. Be sure to include how assessments influence classroom environments. Use 3-5 scholarly sources to support your plan. Include examples of two formal and two informal assessments that you might use in your classroom that can be differentiated for diverse populations, and that would measure vocabulary, fluency, or comprehension. The assessments need to be created, but generic enough to be used in other units. For example, a “ticket out the door” and a “KWL” are examples of informal assessments that can be used to check comprehension (choose assessments other than the two mentioned).
