Societal influences
One section of the chapter considers a range of social influences that can have a negative impact on student learning. Identify each of those influences and explain how they can interfere with learning. If possible, provide examples from your experience or the experience of your classmates. Then identify strategies you might use with parents and students to prevent, overcome, or minimize the negative influence of each of these aspects. With which aspect do you anticipate the greatest challenge? Explain your reasoning.

ANS: Scoring guide:
Key elements that should appear in an appropriate response:
* In the first part of the assignment, the student must identify the societal factors and explain their relationship to student achievement. The student should be able to rely on experience, reading, and discussion to provide related examples. Full credit requires accuracy and a thorough response.
* The second part of the assignment depends on consideration of past content material (e.g., Chapters 4 and 6), discussions, and additional reading as well as reflection and problem solving to develop strategies for dealing with both parents and students. Full credit results from the use of previously addressed content and feasible strategies.
* The third part of the assignment involves reflective thinking. The student who provides a comprehensive explanation of the reasons for selecting one of the societal influences earns full credit.

What will be an ideal response?
Melissa has decided that she wants to manage her stress better, since it seems to be interfering with her sleep and her relationships. She has noticed that her friends Allison and Ryan never seem stressed out. Melissa assumes that this is because they stop working at a set time every night, so she adopts the same principle. Melissa is able to follow this principle for a couple of weeks, but when she is given an unexpected assignment, she finds herself unable to stop working at the appointed stop time. She reasons that not completing the work actually makes her more stressed out, so she abandons the rule altogether. Which step of the Adult Learning Cycle was missing in Melissa's plan?
A. Reflect B. Relate C. Do D. Observe
