describe seven strategies—one related to each of the TARGETS variables—you might use to promote mastery goals in your own classroom. Illustrate each strategy with a specific, concrete example of what you might do
The seven TARGETS variables are described in Table 6.5. The second column of the table lists possible strategies associated with each variable; students' responses should describe one strategy from each cell of this column or a reasonable facsimile. Each strategy should be illustrated with an appropriate example.

Relative importance of a variety of federal education laws and court decisions
The text includes a large number of court decisions and of federal laws classified by type of category (e.g., civil rights, exceptional education, compensatory education). One writer, not referenced here, proposed the ten most significant education laws and court decisions of the 20th century. Here is your chance to weigh in on the issue. After reading the text, discussing the laws and court decisions, and reflecting on your experience, identify the five federal laws or court decisions that you believe have had the greatest impact on American education. Then explain why each is so far-reaching in its effect on the schools and education in general. Finally, propose a change in federal law or court decision that would enhance education and then defend your proposal. What will be an ideal response?
