Immigration and education
National policy reform has been passed on immigration and education. The Obama administration announced the acceptance for the Deferred Action for childhood Arrivals which was intended to temporarily suspend the deportation of young people residing lawfully in the United States (Haugen, David, Musser, & Kacy). There is an estimated two million immigrants in the United States who might be eligible for Obama’s deferred deed initiative for unofficial childhood conveyed to U.S as kids. This initiative announcing to offer a two-year renewable amnesty from transportation to unofficial immigrants is less than 31 years of age arrived in the United States earlier than 16 years of age or has always been in the country for at least five years of residence.

Reflect:
The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write:
In your initial post,
summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws.
Analyze and describe the pros and cons on
both sides
of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning.
Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources
Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion

Research in clinical suicidology continues to rapidly expand, much of it with implications
for day-to-day clinical practice. Clinicians routinely wrestle with how best to integrate
recent advances into practice and how to do so in efficient and effective fashion. This
article identifies five critical domains of recent research findings and offers examples
of simple questions that can easily be integ.

Massachusetts has a unique archaeological resource in its many colonial graveyards. These contain a large number of precisely dated “artifacts” in the form of headstones and provide an opportunity for studies of the ways in which different aspects of British colonial and Euro- American culture have changed over time. For this assignment, you will visit a local cemetery of your choosing and use the headstones and other associated material culture to address questions aimed at understanding demographic, social, symbolic, or technological issues in the past. This assignment does not require any archaeological excavation, and your instructor and federal, state, and local laws expressly forbid you from doing any! The project also does not require you to do any additional background research, although you are welcome to do so. Please
respect these cemeteries, the individuals buried therein, and any visitors you may encounter during your study.

This discussion aligns with Learning Outcomes 1, 2, and 4
Democracy, at its core, is centered on the idea that individuals can, in fact,
rule themselves. This concept is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution as we
know it today. However, early on the American Constitution was not a sound,
democratic document. In particular, the idea of popular sovereignty; that is,
the will of the people, was not extended to everyone. For example, as you
read this week, the framers, for a time, chose to retain slavery in the new
Republic. In addition to slavery, in what other areas was the Constitution of
1788 less than democratic? In what ways has the Constitution, since then,
become more democratic? Be sure to provide examples to support your
claims.
Submission
Our discussions are a valuable opportunity to have thoughtful conversations
regarding a specific topic. You are required to provide a comprehensive
initial post with 3-4 well-developed paragraphs that include a topic

The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect
the people’s beliefs. Religion influences people’s morality. And morality is
a key component of personal convictions. People’s convictions influence
how they want to be governed and how they vote. The first amendment to
the Constitution provided protection to the people’s beliefs by restricting
Congress from making laws respective to an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

• Ryanairs operations have been consistently plagued with emp.docx
• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee
discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line
Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a
result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and
interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner.
• As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and
ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line
manager promptly to be addressed.
• Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the
line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by
subordinates.
• Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and
benefit for all parties.
• It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where
individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift
focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals.
01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENT
• The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only
constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the
rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair
finds itself.
• A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in
determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered
that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction
of new technology.
• However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance.
The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this
regard.
• He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of
the change by employing effective communication strategies
(McCracken et al., 2017).
• Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo
transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others.
It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not
forestall operations.
03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
• The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying
areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in
Ryanair.
• Through a series of activities such as performance reviews
and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and
interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor
training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet
the company's needs and vision.
• Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to
Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save
costs that would have gone into retraining because of an
inefficient programme.
EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT
• Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and
knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value
for future business successes.
• He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and
expectations .

Pathological Conditions in Older Adults
As one goes through the natural aging process, the body's capacity to defend itself against infections diminishes. The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations.
Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults
Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response.
Dementia
This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not.
Diabetes
As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication.
Incontinence
This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

Regional Economic Integration

What Is Regional
Economic Integration?
Regional economic integration - agreements between countries in a geographic region to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and factors of production between each otherQuestion: Do regional trade agreements promote free trade?In theory, yes, but the world may be moving toward a situation in which a number of regional trade blocks compete against each other
*
While the move toward regional economic integration is generally seen as a good thing, some observers worry that it will lead to a world in which regional trade blocs compete against each other.
In this possible future scenario, free trade will exist within each bloc, but each bloc will protect its market from outside competition with high tariffs.
The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortresses that shut out foreign producers with high tariff barriers is worrisome to those who believe in unrestricted free trade. If such a situation were to materialize, the resulting decline in trade between blocs could more than offset the gains from free trade within blocs.
The Opening Case: Regional Trade Pacts Give the Mexican Auto Industry an Edge describes the growth of the Mexican auto industry due to a wave of foreign direct investment spurred by regional trade agreements. Beginning with the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has established over 40 different free trade agreements that provide Mexican automakers duty-free access to markets throughout the world. These agreements, along with Mexico’s relatively low labors costs, have attracted investments from many of the world’s largest car companies and auto parts suppliers, making Mexico the sixth-largest car producer in the world.

MAPPING AND ANALYZING VALUE STREAMS
What It Means
The mapping and analysis of value streams is an undertaking focused on gaining insight into the current
state of workflow. It includes creating diagrams that show the various steps a product or service
undergoes from request to delivery. The format of the maps should not be overly complex, and they do
not require any specialized software to create. Their purpose is to help management and workers “see”
the flow of work tasks that are often difficult to visualize, and to analyze that flow from a customer-centric
perspective that is explicitly focused on adding value.
Why It Matters
• It aligns stakeholders around a common understanding of the starting point before any
operational change initiatives are undertaken.
• It focuses on value as the critical metric of operational excellence and competitive advantage,
and it identifies steps where no value is added and/or waste occurs.
• It requires the team to apply quantifiable performance metrics to the current state so that
improvement efforts can be measured and validated.
“Before you can lead your team to a
better future, you must build consensus
about the current state of affairs – what’s
working and what isn’t working – and why
the change is needed.”

Datril: Pioneering the Acetaminophen Market
Marvin Koslow, vice president for marketing services at Bristol-Myers, had just finished a
strategic planning meeting with his staff. The meeting was supposed to delineate a strategy for
Bristol-Myers’ newest offering: a non-prescription acetaminophen1 drug branded as Datril, which
was to be launched later in the spring of 1975. Despite many hours of deliberation, a clear solu-
tion failed to emerge. The main unresolved issue was how to position Bristol-Myers’ new drug to
the general public and, in particular, how to price and promote Datril.
Bristol-Myers was one of the nation’s leading marketers of pharmaceutical and consumer prod-
ucts, with a portfolio of well-known brands such as Bufferin, Excedrin, Windex, Drano, Vitalis, Be-
hold, and Clairol. Bristol-Myers was comprised of three major product groups: the Consumer Prod-
ucts Group, which accounted for 25.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974; the Clairol Group; and
the Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and International Group, which accounted for 51.8% of the compa-
ny’s total sales in 1974. In 1974, Bristol-Myers reported net earnings exceeding $120 million on $1.6
billion in net sales. The cost of goods sold accounted for more than $600 million of the expenditures:
marketing, sales, and administration expenses were in excess of $420 million, advertising and pro-
motion expenses were nearly $300 million, and research and development expenses were close to
$50 million.
The $680 million analgesic market was divided into two types of pain-relievers: aspirin and ace-
taminophen. Aspirin-based products, such as the market leader Bayer Aspirin, distributed by Sterling
Drug Company, and Bufferin and Excedrin, both distributed by Bristol-Myers, comprised 90% of the
analgesic market. Most of the aspirin-based products were proprietary drugs and were typically mar-
keted with heavy consumer advertising and extensive point-of-purchase displays. Bristol-Myers spent
more than $30 million advertising Bufferin and Excedrin in 1974 (see Exhibits 1, 2 for examples of
print advertisements). In contrast, acetaminophen-based analgesics, initially available only by pre-
scription, were advertised primarily to medical professionals.
Acetaminophen products were rapidl.

Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docx
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.

This discussion aligns with Learning Outcomes 1, 2, and 4
Democracy, at its core, is centered on the idea that individuals can, in fact,
rule themselves. This concept is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution as we
know it today. However, early on the American Constitution was not a sound,
democratic document. In particular, the idea of popular sovereignty; that is,
the will of the people, was not extended to everyone. For example, as you
read this week, the framers, for a time, chose to retain slavery in the new
Republic. In addition to slavery, in what other areas was the Constitution of
1788 less than democratic? In what ways has the Constitution, since then,
become more democratic? Be sure to provide examples to support your
claims.

The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect
the people’s beliefs. Religion influences people’s morality. And morality is
a key component of personal convictions. People’s convictions influence
how they want to be governed and how they vote. The first amendment to
the Constitution provided protection to the people’s beliefs by restricting
Congress from making laws respective to an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

• Ryanairs operations have been consistently plagued with emp.docx
• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee
discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line
Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a
result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and
interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner.
• As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and
ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line
manager promptly to be addressed.
• Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the
line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by
subordinates.
• Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and
benefit for all parties.
• It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where
individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift
focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals.
01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENT
• The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only
constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the
rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair
finds itself.
• A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in
determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered
that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction
of new technology.
• However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance.
The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this
regard.
• He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of
the change by employing effective communication strategies
(McCracken et al., 2017).
• Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo
transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others.
It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not
forestall operations.
03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
• The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying
areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in
Ryanair.
• Through a series of activities such as performance reviews
and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and
interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor
training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet
the company's needs and vision.
• Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to
Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save
costs that would have gone into retraining because of an
inefficient programme.
EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT
• Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and
knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value
for future business successes.
• He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and
expectations .

NUR 417: Aging and End of Life

Pathological Conditions in Older Adults
As one goes through the natural aging process, the body's capacity to defend itself against infections diminishes. The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations.
Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults
Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response.
Dementia
This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not.
Diabetes
As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication.
Incontinence
This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

Significance/Background
I
ntermittent
fasting, in contrast to many other dietary approaches, emphasizes timing of meals.
Increasing popularity of intermittent fasting as a means of losing weight and managing chronic diseases is evidence of the practice's widespread success.
People with diabetes Mellitus often choose to control their condition by paying more attention to what they eat.

Regional Economic Integration

What Is Regional
Economic Integration?
Regional economic integration - agreements between countries in a geographic region to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and factors of production between each otherQuestion: Do regional trade agreements promote free trade?In theory, yes, but the world may be moving toward a situation in which a number of regional trade blocks compete against each other
*
While the move toward regional economic integration is generally seen as a good thing, some observers worry that it will lead to a world in which regional trade blocs compete against each other.
In this possible future scenario, free trade will exist within each bloc, but each bloc will protect its market from outside competition with high tariffs.
The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortresses that shut out foreign producers with high tariff barriers is worrisome to those who believe in unrestricted free trade. If such a situation were to materialize, the resulting decline in trade between blocs could more than offset the gains from free trade within blocs.
The Opening Case: Regional Trade Pacts Give the Mexican Auto Industry an Edge describes the growth of the Mexican auto industry due to a wave of foreign direct investment spurred by regional trade agreements. Beginning with the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has established over 40 different free trade agreements that provide Mexican automakers duty-free access to markets throughout the world. These agreements, along with Mexico’s relatively low labors costs, have attracted investments from many of the world’s largest car companies and auto parts suppliers, making Mexico the sixth-largest car producer in the world.

MAPPING AND ANALYZING VALUE STREAMS
What It Means
The mapping and analysis of value streams is an undertaking focused on gaining insight into the current
state of workflow. It includes creating diagrams that show the various steps a product or service
undergoes from request to delivery. The format of the maps should not be overly complex, and they do
not require any specialized software to create. Their purpose is to help management and workers “see”
the flow of work tasks that are often difficult to visualize, and to analyze that flow from a customer-centric
perspective that is explicitly focused on adding value.
Why It Matters
• It aligns stakeholders around a common understanding of the starting point before any
operational change initiatives are undertaken.
• It focuses on value as the critical metric of operational excellence and competitive advantage,
and it identifies steps where no value is added and/or waste occurs.
• It requires the team to apply quantifiable performance metrics to the current state so that
improvement efforts can be measured and validated.
“Before you can lead your team to a
better future, you must build consensus
about the current state of affairs – what’s
working and what isn’t working – and why
the change is needed.”
Jack Welch

Datril: Pioneering the Acetaminophen Market
Marvin Koslow, vice president for marketing services at Bristol-Myers, had just finished a
strategic planning meeting with his staff. The meeting was supposed to delineate a strategy for
Bristol-Myers’ newest offering: a non-prescription acetaminophen1 drug branded as Datril, which
was to be launched later in the spring of 1975. Despite many hours of deliberation, a clear solu-
tion failed to emerge. The main unresolved issue was how to position Bristol-Myers’ new drug to
the general public and, in particular, how to price and promote Datril.
Bristol-Myers was one of the nation’s leading marketers of pharmaceutical and consumer prod-
ucts, with a portfolio of well-known brands such as Bufferin, Excedrin, Windex, Drano, Vitalis, Be-
hold, and Clairol. Bristol-Myers was comprised of three major product groups: the Consumer Prod-
ucts Group, which accounted for 25.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974; the Clairol Group; and
the Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and International Group, which accounted for 51.8% of the compa-
ny’s total sales in 1974. In 1974, Bristol-Myers reported net earnings exceeding $120 million on $1.6
billion in net sales. The cost of goods sold accounted for more than $600 million of the expenditures:
marketing, sales, and administration expenses were in excess of $420 million, advertising and pro-
motion expenses were nearly $300 million, and research and development expenses were close to
$50 million.
The $680 million analgesic market was divided into two types of pain-relievers: aspirin and ace-
taminophen. Aspirin-based products, such as the market leader Bayer Aspirin, distributed by Sterling
Drug Company, and Bufferin and Excedrin, both distributed by Bristol-Myers, comprised 90% of the
analgesic market. Most of the aspirin-based products were proprietary drugs and were typically mar-
keted with heavy consumer advertising and extensive point-of-purchase displays. Bristol-Myers spent
more than $30 million advertising Bufferin and Excedrin in 1974 (see Exhibits 1, 2 for examples of
print advertisements). In contrast, acetaminophen-based analgesics, initially available only by pre-
scription, were advertised primarily to medical professionals.
Acetaminophen products were rapidl.

Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docx
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.
