… You’ll be writing a three-page essay on the issue:
Gun Control: The Second Amendment to the Constitution is the biggest roadblock to making changes in this area, along with the fact that most Americans do not want to be controlled by the federal government
The idea behind this assignment is to explore your topic and explain liberal and conservative views of that topic. Then you’re going to flip things around and explain what the opposite sides’ s viewpoint is, based again on the ideology.
Then, discuss what sort of solution can you see to the problem you have identified. You should cite or quote your articles again here. Conclude your paper by discussing the pros and cons of the liberal and conservative ways of approaching the issue you’ve chosen.

Introduction
Race gaps in SAT scores underpin inequity and hinder upward mobility. The SAT is used as a mode to establish student readiness for college and a crucial gateway to higher education. Yet, regardless of the continued efforts to equalize academic opportunity, there still persist large gaps in SAT scores. Research shows that minorities have statistically lower standardized test scores compared to Whites (Couch, Frost, Santiago, & Hilton, 2021). These inequalities still exist due to hidden biases in the development and administration of standardized tests and interpretation of their scores. This paper looks into the race gap in standardized testing and
The Learner Characteristics
The audience of this project will project will be students. The age of the audience is between 12-17 years. The target audience has a no rich background in matters education. They will have the opportunity to access to school-district level data to examine the racial disparities between students of color and white students in the state. The target audience includes both male and female learners within the target age bracket within schools in the selected school districts. They will utilize the data obtained to understand the standardized score rates for students of color in comparison to their white counterparts. Therefore, the will seek to have an understanding of the race gap that exists among students of color. Hence, this project intends to present district level data to this audience that demonstrates the race gaps that exists in standardized tests used to evaluate teacher and administrative effectiveness, students’ educational progress and knowledge, and measure states’ educational efforts. The data presented will mainly focus on the inequalities in standardized test scores to bring to light the continued denial of equal educational opportunities to students of color, including black students, and policy implications for students of color achievement.
Data Collection Outline
In terms of contextual analysis, the factors that affect knowledge acquisition include motivation, readiness and will power, level of aspiration and achievement, and methods of learning. The learner needs to have the motivation to learn along with a definite goal to achieve. In addition to motivation, the learner must demonstrate readiness with a strong will power to overcome potential problems and hurdles. If the learners have the aspiration to achieve a certain thing, they will be motivated to learn. Effective teaching methods allow the learner to easily understand and internalize a particular concept. Thus, it is important to examine the context of learning to ensure all necessary factors that promote learning are available.

Rationale for Using the Learning Theory for the Project
Interactive learning is a real-life/hands-on approach to education based on building student engagement through guided social interaction. This theory is devised and structured activities to promote learning in groups, supporting a setting that encourages students to explore and understand new concepts. Students use online resources, watch videos, and read to complete typical homework activities such as solving problems, applying course topics, and working through issues. It enhances students’ curiosity to learn new concepts through role-play, projects, and active learning exercises (Ugalde et al., 2021). Through these activities, students engage with their peers and teaching staff in an energetic and interactive learning environment. This learning theory best frames the design of my project by promoting interactive learning to allow for deeper exploration of the racial gap in standardized testing.
This learning theory encourages learners to feel comfortable in the learning environment. Learners would prefer to learn through a video or PowerPoint presentation and welcomes unique contributions to learning. It helps to depth to learning and allows learners to keep focus in learning. For instance, learners could utilize collaborative task managers long with other online collaboration tools for learners (Ugalde et al., 2021). The students could utilize the digital tools as self-evaluation tools to go through the lesson and identify precise areas they have not mastered.
In conclusion, interactive learning is regarded effective for this project as it allows learners to have hands-on, real-world process of conveying information. While passive learning is based on listening to the instructor teach. However, interactive learning, invites learners to take part in the discussion through role-playing group exercises in class or technology (Kutbiddinova et al., 2016). In addition to student engagement, it fosters a hyper-stimulated environment, sharpening learners’ analytical and critical skills. Through the use of open-ended questions, learners enhance their imagination and solving of problems (Kramer et al., 2014). In addition, it gives learners an opportunity to collaborate and work effectively in groups, an indispensable skill in collaborative learning. Learning is more effective when learners are active. Learners become active when they are engaged in interactive activities, feedback, discussions, and AI-enhanced technologies leading to improved academic performance. Active learning can give students the ability to teach among themselves the course concept. Information presented in both verbal and visual form allows individuals to easily learn abstract, novel, and new concepts. Through active learning techniques, learners can produce thoughts, and get feedback through interactive settings instead of passively receiving information from the instructor. Thus, it is essential for educators to integrate more active learning in their teaching.

Case law often takes time. The actions of those in the field
Case law often takes time. The actions of those in the field occur in seconds and those on the bench may take days, weeks, months, even years, analyzing and forming an opinion of that action. You should expect to spend a great deal of time reviewing, often multiple times, a court decision. As judges often have a great deal of time when writing decisions, as opposed to those in the field who must often must rely instinctively and on past training to take immediate action, judicial opinions are often long and drawn out. While the length and volume may pose a hurdle, generally the writing style poses a greater hurdle. This style is often very subtle and complicated as key words, phrases, or points are frequently glanced over on a first reading. It is up to you identify the core of the controversy and accurately identify the court’s ruling. This involves summarizing and condensing in brief and concise form the nature of the issue at hand, the judicial opinion, and the ruling (Krislov, 1972).
Weeks 3, 5 and 8, you will be required to submit a case brief of the assigned case. Each brief represents your analysis of the assigned case. Each brief is worth 16% of your overall grade in the course. Grades for these papers will reflect a combination of form, logic, flow, grammar, spelling, APA format, and demonstrated understanding of principles. These case briefs of 4-6 [double spaced] pages each, when completed, should help your develop your critical thinking/analysis skills. These must be submitted during the week assigned. Late papers will result in the automatic loss of a letter grade.
A very good reference, entitled How to Brief a Case, addressing the pertinent content of a brief but not the form or sequence to be used in this class can be found on the John Jay College website.
Utilize the Brief Template format provided. All attachments must be submitted in Word format. No other formats are accepted as all faculty may not be able open the attachment and thus not be able to grade it. If you see a numerical score of “1” for the brief, this indicates the faculty member was unable to open your attachment and you must resubmit your work in Word format for a grade. Your work is considered late and late penalties apply until your work is submitted in the proper format to faculty.
