Project;Education

  1. Write a brief three-four sentence paragraph/summary about what each of the theorists listed below is
    "famous" for doing. Make sure you are specific enough to show that you understand his/her contributions to our
    field.
  2. Then, choose five theorists WHO WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU IN YOUR FUTURE TEACHING CAREER
    and expand on these theorists. For each one you choose expand on their theory or research, and explain why
    they are important in the field of education.
    Prepare a research paper showcasing your work. While it is extremely important to capture what is important
    about each of the theorists you chose, the main point of your project will be to highlight how their work will help
    YOU as a future teacher.
    REFERENCE everything and use quotation marks when needed, however the majority should be in your own
    words. Explain why you chose the theorists you chose…. so spend some time in textbook and online reading
    about who these people are before you select them.
