EDP 150 Thought Paper #2 (24 points)
What do you need to include in this paper?
In your second thought paper, you should imagine you are a researcher interested in investigating a topic
related to the psychology of gender. In a 4-page, double-spaced paper, please address the following questions:
1. What research question will you investigate? Why?
2. What method (e.g., experiment, quasi-experiment, correlation, naturalistic observation, case study,
interview, focus group) will you use to investigate your research question? Why?
3. What are two unique strengths of your chosen method? Please be sure to fully explain (i.e., multiple
sentences) why each strength should be considered a strength. Note: In order to earn credit for each
strength, it must be very clear that they are each unique.
4. What are two unique weaknesses of your chosen method? Please be sure to fully explain (i.e., multiple
sentences) why each weakness should be considered a weakness. Note: In order to earn credit for
each weakness, it must be very clear that they are each unique.
How long should this paper be?
This thought paper must be no longer than four, double-spaced pages. Quality of writing and coverage of the
required questions stated above is most important. However, your paper (excluding title and header with
name, date, etc.) should be at least 850 words, as it is extremely difficult to fully answer the questions
above in less than 850 words. If your submission is shorter than 850 words, you will incur a 3-point
penalty.
How should I format my paper?
Format restrictions are as follows: (1) double-spaced; (2) Times New Roman font; (3) 12-point font; (4) 1”
margins; (5) no longer than four pages; (6) Microsoft Word format (i.e., .doc, .docx); (7) minimum of 850
words beyond header and title; (8) multiple paragraphs. Please see the rubric for a breakdown of necessary
components and possible points.
What are some tips to help improve my chance of earning an A on this paper?
#1: Please proofread your paper!
Although this is not a writing class, writing coherent papers with minimal grammatical
and spelling errors is necessary for college success. Papers with numerous (~3 or more per page)
spelling/grammar, or other formatting mistakes will incur penalties. You should
reread and revise your assignment numerous times before submission. If it helps, have others proofread your
paper. Also, please be sure to adhere to the formatting restrictions.
#2: Please explicitly state major points!
It is often most beneficial to explicitly state major points in your paper (e.g., “The
research question that I will investigate is…”, or “I will use an interview because….”, or “One strength of this
approach is…”. This ensures clarity for your reader. The less ambiguity present in your writing, the higher your
final grade.
When is this paper due?
Your thought paper is due no later than Monday, April 6th at 11:59 pm. Papers submitted between Tuesday,

Comparing and Contrasting Assimilation Theories
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to compare and contrast theoretical orientations in
sociology. For this paper, you will explain and critically evaluate major theoretical positions that
are currently advanced to explain assimilation and social mobility. You will focus on theoretical
perspectives that Clergé refers to as old and neo-assimilation theories. In Children of the Yam
(Chapter 2) and Blood Pudding (Chapter 3), you will find historical evidence and examples of the
different obstacles that Black (im)migrants have experienced in their assimilation process and
pathway to middle-class. Keep in mind that the author’s critical evaluation of current assimilation
theories provide the background for her examination of the racial formations and migrations of
Black Americans, Haitians, and Jamaicans, and her views on the role of racism, class, and
segregation.
Assignment: Write a professional 5-6 page paper typed and double-spaced. The paper should
include a summary and critical evaluation of at least two theoretical perspectives on assimilation
and social mobility (e.g. acculturation, assimilation theory, segmented assimilation). You can
either read the original material cited by Clergé or conduct a bibliographical search to find
sociological articles on assimilation theories. You will need to use your NetID to access electronic
databases through the Ottenheimer Library. Your paper should include at least five citations from
peer-reviewed academic articles. Do not summarize each article. Follow the recommendations of
Balmer and Murcott’s The Craft of Writing in Sociology for making an argument using a compare
and contrast approach (chapter 2). Keep your language formal and avoid contractions. If you work
with an open-source word processor, create a PDF file before uploading your file.

In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question?
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice.
Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your literature review. Describe at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in the articles. Justify your response with specific references to at least 2 of the articles.
Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the evidence-based practice.
Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based practice that you identified throughout your practice setting. Explain how you would communicate the importance of the practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-based practice within your organization. How would you address concerns and opposition to the change in practice?It should be combined with the other two components of the Course Project and turned in as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.

Question 2In Unit 7, we will explore the basic tenets of narrati.docxaudeleypearl
Question 2
In Unit 7, we will explore the basic tenets of narrative therapy. The work of Michael White and David Epston discussed metaphors associated with narrative and social constructionism. These ideas revolve around the premise that narrative therapy is more of an attitude regarding reality in a therapeutic context. Some of the ideas posited by this approach to therapy are that realities are socially constructed, realities are constituted through language, realities are organized and maintained through narrative, and there are no essential truths (Freedman & Combs, 1996). Narrative therapy is also concerned with how we perceive the world and how we operate in the world. The issue is that we are born into a world that has a way of viewing, understanding, and accepting all of its basic "truths." As such, we often find ourselves experiencing our ideas in the context of a dominant social culture. The therapist assists the "patient" in reassessing the "truths" and socially constructed realities in his or her everyday experience. Listening to the "patient's'' story is an important aspect of this therapeutic approach. Helping "patients" understand how their stories can be re-authored to reflect their needs and wants is an important aspect of the narrative approach.

Method
Participants
A total of 479 undergraduate students from Western Sydney University were recruited via convenience sampling and participated in a study investigating the effects of age of acquisition and the emotional nature of words in lexical access. Participation was completed voluntarily as part of an assessment task. Data from 104 participants was rejected as they either did not complete the task or their accuracy was less than 80%. Therefore, the final sample size was 375.
Materials and Apparatus
Two sets of letter strings were used in the experiment: words and nonwords. All the stimuli were 3 to 8 characters long. There were 4 categories of words: early acquiring emotional words (EE), early acquiring non-emotional words (ENE), late acquiring emotional words (LE) and late acquiring non-emotional words (LNE). A total of 40 words in each category was used. Early acquiring words were acquired before 5 years of age and late acquiring words were acquired after 7 years of age. The word stimuli were taken from the normative developmental dataset for emotion vocabulary comprehension (Baron-Cohen, Golan, Wheelwright, Granader, & Hill, 2010). The nonwords were selected from ARC nonword database (Rastle, Harrington, & Coltheart, 2002). A total of 120 nonwords were used.
The stimuli were presented in a dual lexical decision task where two letter strings were presented on the screen. For half of the trials (80), both the strings were words and for the remaining half (80) either one or both of the letter strings were nonwords. When both the strings were words, they belonged to the same category of words (EE, ENE, LE, LNE). There were 20 trials for each category of words.

New Developments in Academics and Ethics

New Developments in Academics and Ethics
What new
developments has the world’s literature continuous evolution brought? For instance, it is evident that new systems of education come with new developments in language and generally new ways of doing things. First, there is improvement of study materials such as the development of plagiarism checker. Plagiarism checker has boosted standards of education by ensuring that students deliver original work and free from grammatical errors. Secondly, there is creation of clear writing instructions
and consistent conduct important in the education field. In addition, a ‘profession’s ethics’ are continuously unfolding conclusions of a more or less conscious discussion. It explains how members of a given profession should work together to achieve the common and preferred goal. According to (Davis, 2002), it is the product of a social contract which various parties share a common profession.
Proper Research Techniques
Proper research involves adhering to the set ethical norms set by scholars. This is because norms promote and develop the research aims, knowledge, truth and evidence. In research, there can be a wide range of ethical issues. These issues range from plagiarism to confidentiality. One of the most discussed factors is plagiarism. It is a complex ethical problem that has affected the performance of students learning institutions. The availability of plagiarism detection software has made it possible to monitor student assignments, exams and research papers (Hayen & Laverty, 2015). It discourages the culture where students are tempted to copy other author’s work.
The creation of plagiarism checkers also improved student’s learning and research skills by promoting creativity. For example, students are required to submit original work, which reflects their creativity. Ethical research conduct is also required since it provides guidelines set forth by the IRB on how research papers should be handled. It guide learners in writing based on their own composed formats. However, ethical conduct in research is a choice, and students should choose to research by ensuring they abide by ethical conducts stipulated.
Although students are encouraged to think broadly, using the correct citation and giving credit to sources is the right thing to do. Additionally, the ethical way of researching and writing about a certain topic while using multiple sources gives credit to any information borrowed from any of those sources. In line with (Davis, 2002), for every writing format chosen by a learner, he or she needs to observe all the guidelines as provided. Some of the popular writing formats include the American Psychological Association (APA), ...

Question 2In Unit 7, we will explore the basic tenets of narrati.docxaudeleypearl
Question 2
In Unit 7, we will explore the basic tenets of narrative therapy. The work of Michael White and David Epston discussed metaphors associated with narrative and social constructionism. These ideas revolve around the premise that narrative therapy is more of an attitude regarding reality in a therapeutic context. Some of the ideas posited by this approach to therapy are that realities are socially constructed, realities are constituted through language, realities are organized and maintained through narrative, and there are no essential truths (Freedman & Combs, 1996). Narrative therapy is also concerned with how we perceive the world and how we operate in the world. The issue is that we are born into a world that has a way of viewing, understanding, and accepting all of its basic "truths." As such, we often find ourselves experiencing our ideas in the context of a dominant social culture. The therapist assists the "patient" in reassessing the "truths" and socially constructed realities in his or her everyday experience. Listening to the "patient's'' story is an important aspect of this therapeutic approach. Helping "patients" understand how their stories can be re-authored to reflect their needs and wants is an important aspect of the narrative approach.

Method
Participants
A total of 479 undergraduate students from Western Sydney University were recruited via convenience sampling and participated in a study investigating the effects of age of acquisition and the emotional nature of words in lexical access. Participation was completed voluntarily as part of an assessment task. Data from 104 participants was rejected as they either did not complete the task or their accuracy was less than 80%. Therefore, the final sample size was 375.
Materials and Apparatus
Two sets of letter strings were used in the experiment: words and nonwords. All the stimuli were 3 to 8 characters long. There were 4 categories of words: early acquiring emotional words (EE), early acquiring non-emotional words (ENE), late acquiring emotional words (LE) and late acquiring non-emotional words (LNE). A total of 40 words in each category was used. Early acquiring words were acquired before 5 years of age and late acquiring words were acquired after 7 years of age. The word stimuli were taken from the normative developmental dataset for emotion vocabulary comprehension (Baron-Cohen, Golan, Wheelwright, Granader, & Hill, 2010). The nonwords were selected from ARC nonword database (Rastle, Harrington, & Coltheart, 2002). A total of 120 nonwords were used.
The stimuli were presented in a dual lexical decision task where two letter strings were presented on the screen. For half of the trials (80), both the strings were words and for the remaining half (80) either one or both of the letter strings were nonwords. When both the strings were words, they belonged to the same category of words (EE, ENE, LE, LNE). There were 20 trials for each category of words.

New Developments in Academics and Ethics
What new
developments has the world’s literature continuous evolution brought? For instance, it is evident that new systems of education come with new developments in language and generally new ways of doing things. First, there is improvement of study materials such as the development of plagiarism checker. Plagiarism checker has boosted standards of education by ensuring that students deliver original work and free from grammatical errors. Secondly, there is creation of clear writing instructions
and consistent conduct important in the education field. In addition, a ‘profession’s ethics’ are continuously unfolding conclusions of a more or less conscious discussion. It explains how members of a given profession should work together to achieve the common and preferred goal. According to (Davis, 2002), it is the product of a social contract which various parties share a common profession.
Proper Research Techniques
Proper research involves adhering to the set ethical norms set by scholars. This is because norms promote and develop the research aims, knowledge, truth and evidence. In research, there can be a wide range of ethical issues. These issues range from plagiarism to confidentiality. One of the most discussed factors is plagiarism. It is a complex ethical problem that has affected the performance of students learning institutions. The availability of plagiarism detection software has made it possible to monitor student assignments, exams and research papers (Hayen & Laverty, 2015). It discourages the culture where students are tempted to copy other author’s work.
The creation of plagiarism checkers also improved student’s learning and research skills by promoting creativity. For example, students are required to submit original work, which reflects their creativity. Ethical research conduct is also required since it provides guidelines set forth by the IRB on how research papers should be handled. It guide learners in writing based on their own composed formats. However, ethical conduct in research is a choice, and students should choose to research by ensuring they abide by ethical conducts stipulated.
Although students are encouraged to think broadly, using the correct citation and giving credit to sources is the right thing to do. Additionally, the ethical way of researching and writing about a certain topic while using multiple sources gives credit to any information borrowed from any of those sources. In line with (Davis, 2002), for every writing format chosen by a learner, he or she needs to observe all the guidelines as provided. Some of the popular writing formats include the American Psychological Association (APA), ...

Smash That Like Button: Facebook’s Chris Cox Is Messing with One of the Most Valuable Features on the Internet
Inside Facebook’s Decision to Blow Up the Like Button
The most drastic change to Facebook in years was born a year ago during an off-site at the Four Seasons Silicon Valley, a 10-minute drive from headquarters. Chris Cox, the social network’s chief product officer, led the discussion, asking each of the six executives around the conference room to list the top three projects they were most eager to tackle in 2015. When it was Cox’s turn, he dropped a bomb: They needed to do something about the “like” button.
The like button is the engine of Facebook and its most recognized symbol. A giant version of it adorns the entrance to the company’s campus in Menlo Park, Calif. Facebook’s 1.6 billion users click on it more than 6 billion times a day—more frequently than people conduct searches on Google—which affects billions of advertising dollars each quarter. Brands, publishers, and individuals constantly, and strategically, share the things they think will get the most likes. It’s the driver of social activity. A married couple posts perfectly posed selfies, proving they’re in love; a news organization offers up what’s fun and entertaining, hoping the likes will spread its content. All those likes tell Facebook what’s popular and should be shown most often on the News Feed. But the button is also a blunt, clumsy tool. Someone announces her divorce on the site, and friends grit their teeth and “like” it. There’s a devastating earthquake in Nepal, and invariably a few overeager clickers give it the ol’ thumbs-up.
Changing the button is like Coca-Cola messing with its secret recipe. Cox had tried to battle the like button a few times before, but no idea was good enough to qualify for public testing. “This was a feature that was right in the heart of the way you use Facebook, so it needed to be executed really well in order to not detract and clutter up the experience,” he says. “All of the other attempts had failed.” The obvious alternative, a “dislike” button, had been rejected on the grounds that it would sow too much negativity.
Cox told the Four Seasons gathering that the time was finally right for a change, now that Facebook had successfully transitioned a majority of its business to smartphones. His top deputy, Adam Mosseri, took a deep breath. “Yes, I’m with you,” he said solemnly.
Later that week, Cox brought up the project with his boss and longtime friend. Mark Zuckerberg’s response showed just how much leeway Cox has to take risks with Facebook’s most important service. “He said something like, ‘Yes, do it.’ He was fully supportive,” Cox says. “Good luck,” he remembers Zuckerberg telling him. “That’s a hard one.”
The solution would eventually be named Reactions. It will arrive .

She joined a gym and forces herself to go twice a week, where she walks on the treadmill at least 30 minutes but she has not lost any weight, in fact she has gained 3 pounds. She doesn’t understand what she is doing wrong. She states that exercise seems to make her even more hungry and thirsty, which is not helping her weight loss. She wants get a complete physical and to discuss why she is so tired and get some weight loss advice. She also states she thinks her bladder has fallen because she has to go to the bathroom more often, recently she is waking up twice a night to urinate and seems to be urinating more frequently during the day. This has been occurring for about 3 months too. This is irritating to her, but she is able to fall immediately back to sleep.

Mr. B, a 40-year-old avid long-distance runner previously in good health, presented to his primary provider for a yearly physical examination, during which a suspicious-looking mole was noticed on the back of his left arm, just proximal to the elbow. He reported that he has had that mole for several years, but thinks that it may have gotten larger over the past two years. Mr. B reported that he has noticed itchiness in the area of this mole over the past few weeks. He had multiple other moles on his back, arms, and legs, none of which looked suspicious. Upon further questioning, Mr. B reported that his aunt died in her late forties of skin cancer, but he knew no other details about her illness. The patient is a computer programmer who spends most of the work week indoors. On weekends, however, he typically goes for a 5-mile run and spends much of his afternoons gardening. He has a light complexion, blonde hair, and reports that he sunburns easily but uses protective sunscreen only sporadically.
Physical exam revealed: Head, neck, thorax, and abdominal exams were normal, with the exception of a hard, enlarged, non-tender mass felt in the left axillary region. In addition, a 1.6 x 2.8 cm mole was noted on the dorsal upper left arm. The lesion had an appearance suggestive of a melanoma. It was surgically excised with 3 mm margins using a local anesthetic and sent to the pathology laboratory for histologic analysis. The biopsy came back Stage II melanoma.

Moving members of the organization through the change process ca.docxaudeleypearl
Moving members of the organization through the change process can be quite difficult. As leaders take on this challenge of shifting practice from the current state to the future, they face the obstacles of confidence and competence experienced by staff. Change leaders understand the importance of recognizing their moral purpose and helping others to do the same. Effective leaders foster moral purpose by building relationships, considering other’s perspectives, demonstrating respect, connecting others, and examining progress (Fullan & Quinn, 2016). For this Discussion, you will clarify your own moral perspective and how it will impact the elements of focusing direction.
To prepare:
· Review the Adams and Miskell article. Reflect on the measures taken in building capacity throughout the organization.
· Review Fullan and Quinn’s elements of Focusing Direction in Chapter 2. Reflect on aspects needed to build capacity as a leader.
· Analyze the two case examples used to illustrate focused direction in Chapter 2.
· Clarify your own moral purpose, combining your personal values, persistence, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
A brief summary clarifying your own moral imperative.
· Using the guiding questions in Chapter 2 on page 19, explain your moral imperative and how you can use your strengths to foster moral imperative in others.
· Based on Fullan’s information on change leadership, in which areas do you feel you have strong leadership skills? Which areas do you feel you need to continue to develop?

Predictive Policing: Using Technology to Reduce Crime
By Zach Friend, M.P.P.
4/9/2013
Nationwide law enforcement agencies face the problem
of doing more with less. Departments slash budgets
and implement furloughs, while management struggles
to meet the public safety needs of the community. The
Santa Cruz, California, Police Department handles the
same issues with increasing property crimes and
service calls and diminishing staff. Unable to hire more
officers, the department searched for a nontraditional
solution.
In late 2010 researchers published a paper that the
department believed might hold the answer. They
proposed that it was possible to predict certain crimes,
much like scientists forecast earthquake aftershocks.
An “aftercrime” often follows an initial crime. The time and location of previous criminal activity helps to
determine future offenses. These researchers developed an algorithm (mathematical procedure) that
calculates future crime locations.1
Equalizing Resources
The Santa Cruz Police Department has 94 sworn officers and serves a population of 60,000. A
university, amusement park, and beach push the seasonal population to 150,000. Department personnel
contacted a Santa Clara University professor to apply the algorithm, hoping that leveraging technology
would improve their efforts. The police chief indicated that the department could not hire more officers.
He felt that the program could allocate dwindling resources more efficiently.
Santa Cruz police envisioned deploying officers by shift to the most targeted locations in the city. The
predictive policing model helped to alert officers to targeted locations in real time, a significant
improvement over traditional tactics.
Making it Work
The algorithm is a culmination of anthropological and criminological behavior research. It uses complex
mathematics to estimate crime and predict future hot spots. Researchers based these studies on

Motor Milestones occur in a predictable developmental progression in.docxaudeleypearl
Motor Milestones occur in a predictable developmental progression in young children. They begin with reflexive movements that develop into voluntary movement patterns. For the motor milestone of independent walking, there are many precursor reflexes that must first integrate and beginning movement patterns that must be learned. Explain the motor progression of walking in a child, starting with the integration of primitive reflexes to the basic motor skills needed for a child to walk independently. Discuss at which time frame each milestone occurs from birth to walking (12-18 months of age). What are some reasons why a child could be delayed in walking? At what age is a child considered delayed in walking and in need of intervention? What interventions are available to children who are having difficulty walking? Please be sure to use APA citations for all sources used to formulate your answers.

Most women experience their closest friendships with those of th.docxaudeleypearl
Most women experience their closest friendships with those of the same sex. Men have suffered more of a stigma in terms of sharing deep bonds with other men. Open affection and connection is not actively encouraged among men. Recent changes in society might impact this, especially with the advent of the meterosexual male. “The meterosexual male is less interested in blood lines, traditions, family, class, gender, than in choosing who they want to be and who they want to be with” (Vernon, 2010, p. 204).
In this week’s reading material, the following philosophers discuss their views on this topic: Simone de Beauvoir, Thomas Aquinas, MacIntyre, Friedman, Hunt, and Foucault. Make sure to incorporate their views as you answer each discussion question. Think about how their views may be similar or different from your own. In at least 250 words total, please answer each of the following, drawing upon your reading materials and your personal insight:
To what extent do you think women still have a better opportunity to forge deeper friendships than men? What needs to change to level the friendship playing field for men, if anything?
How is the role of the meterosexual man helping to forge a new pathway for male friendships?

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. Howev.docxaudeleypearl
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

Most of the ethical prescriptions of normative moral philosophy .docxaudeleypearl
Most of the ethical prescriptions of normative moral philosophy tend to fall into one of the following three categories: deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics. These categories in turn put an emphasis on different normative standards for judging what constitutes right and wrong actions.
Moral psychologists and behavioral economists such as Jonathan Haidt and Dan Ariely take a different approach: focusing not on some normative ethical framework for moral judgment, but rather on the psychological foundations of moral intuition and on the limitations that our human frailty places on real-world honesty, decency, and ethical commitments.
In this context, write a short essay (minimum 400 words) on what you see as the most important differences between the traditional normative philosophical approaches and the more recent empirical approach of moral psychology when it comes to ethics. As part of your answer also make sure that you discuss the implications of these differences.

Most healthcare organizations in the country are implementing qualit.docxaudeleypearl
Most healthcare organizations in the country are implementing quality improvement programs to save lives, enhance customer satisfaction, and reduce the cost of healthcare services. Limited human and material resources often undermine such efforts. Zenith Hospital in a rural community has 200 beds. Postsurgical patients tend to contract infections at the surgical site, requiring extended hospitalization. Mr. Jones—75 years old—was admitted to Zenith Hospital for inguinal hernia repairs. He was also hypertensive, with a compromised immune system. Two days after surgery, he acquired an infection at the surgical site, with elevated temperature, and then he developed septicemia. His condition worsened, and he was moved to isolation in the intensive care unit (ICU). A day after transfer to the ICU, he went into ventricular arrhythmia and was placed on a respirator and cardiac monitoring machine. Intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and antipyretics could not bring the fever down, and blood analysis continued to deteriorate.
The hospital infection control unit got involved. The team confirmed that postsurgical infections were on the increase, but the hospital was unable to identify the sources of infection. The surgery unit and surgical team held meetings to understand possible sources of infection. The team leader had earlier reported to management that they needed to hire more surgical nurses, arguing that nurses in the unit were overworked, had to go on leave, and often worked long hours without break.
Mr. Jones’ family members were angry and wanted to know the source of his infection, why he was on the respirator in isolation, and why his temperature was not coming down. Unfortunately, his condition continued to deteriorate. His daughter invited the family’s legal representative to find out what was happening to her father and to commence legal proceedings.
Then, the healthcare manager received information that two other patients were showing signs of postsurgical infection. The healthcare manager and care providers acknowledged the serious quality issues at Zenith Hospital, particularly in the surgical unit. The healthcare manager wrote to the Chairman of the Hospital Board, seeking approval to implement a quality improvement program. The Board held an emergency meeting and approved the manager’s request. The healthcare manager has invited you to support the organization in this process.
Please address the following questions in your response:
What are successful approaches for gaining a shared understanding of the problem?
How can effective communication be implemented?
What is a qualitative approach that helps in identifying the quality problem?
What tools can provide insight into understanding the problem?
In quality improvement, what does appreciative inquiry help do?
What is a benefit of testing solutions before implementation?
What is a challenge that is inherent in the application of the plan, do, study, act (PDSA) method?

Mortgage-Backed Securities and the Financial CrisisKelly Finn.docxaudeleypearl
Mortgage-Backed Securities and the Financial Crisis
Kelly Finn
FNCE 4302
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) are “pass-through” bundles of housing debt sold as investment vehicles
A mortgage-backed security, MBS, is a type of asset-backed security that pays investors regular payments, similar to a bond. It gets the title as a “pass-through” because the security involves several entities in the origination and securitization process (where the asset is identified, and where it is used as a base to create a new investment instrument people can profit off of).
Key Players involved in the MBS Process
[Mortgage] Lenders: banks who sell mortgages to GSE’s
GSE: Government Sponsored Entities created by the US Government to make owning property more accessible to Americans
1938: Fannie Mae (FNMA): Federal National Mortgage Assoc.
1970: Freddie Mac (FHLMC): Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
Increase mortgage borrowing
Introduce competitor to Fannie Mae
1970: Ginnie Mae (GNMA): Government National Mortgage Assoc.
US Government: Treasury: implicit commitment of providing support in case of trouble
The several entities involved in the process make MBS a “pass-through”. Here we have 3 main entities that we’ll call “Key Players” for the purpose of this presentation which aims to provide you with a basic and simple explanation of MBS and their role in the financial crisis.
GSE’s created by the US Government in 1938
Part of FDR’s New Plan during Great Depression
Purpose: make owning property more accessible to more Americans
GSE (ex. Fannie Mae) buys mortgages (debt) from banks, & then pools mortgages into little bundles investors can buy (securitization)
Bank’s mortgage is exchanged with GSE’s cash
Created liquid secondary market for mortgages
Result:
1) Bank has more cash to lend out to people
2) Now all who want to a house (expensive) can get the money needed to buy one!
Where MBS came from & when
Yay for combatting homelessness and increasing quality of life for the common American!
Thanks Uncle Sam!
MBS have been around for a long time. Officially in the US, they have their origins in government. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into creation Fannie Mae that was brought about to help ease American citizen’s difficulty in becoming homeowners. The sole purpose of a GSE thus was to not make profit, but to promote citizen welfare in regards to housing. Seeing that it was created by regulatory government powers, it earned the title of Government Sponsored Entity, which we will abbreviate as GSE. 2 other GSE’s in housing were created in later decades like Freddie Mae, to further stimulate the mortgage market alongside Fannie, and Ginnie which did a similar thing but only for certain groups of people (Veterans, etc) and to a much smaller scale.
How MBS works: Kelly is a homeowner looking to borrow a lot of money

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

LITERATURE REVIEW

7. Literature Review
When it comes to teaching mathematics, the aspect of teaching
STEM comes in place. This is because Mathematics is one of
the fields that lie within the STEM disciplines. With this in
mind, it is important that the past and researched information
regarding STEM is put into consideration. In doing so, it will
become simpler in making sure that STEM education is well
taught in elementary schools. Through a review of journals and
articles regarding STEM education, it is possible to come up
with mechanisms of improving preservice teachers’ service
delivery to elementary school students for all disciplines
including mathematics.
Research has established that most elementary school teachers
feel that they do not have enough knowledge in the field of
STEM. In this research, preservice elementary teachers were
given the opportunity to give their own rating on their abilities
to teach STEM disciplines to elementary school students. This
research went ahead to outline the ways in which teachers’
knowledge and skills can be improved through ways such as
integrated place-based activities. The research further gives
room for these teachers to come up with their own designs and
implementation of STEM design (Anne, Adams, Brant, Melissa,
Jerine, 2014). The same information can be applied to teaching
mathematics.
It has also been established that the quality of education that
preservice elementary schools teachers receive on STEM
education also has an impact on their ability to pass the
knowledge to their students. This establishes that these teachers
deserve to have an opportunity to be also educated on STEM
subjects in order to have the knowledge and ability to teach. It
is also worth mentioning that it is impossible for a teacher to
teach what they do not know (Hacıömeroğlu1, 2018). This,
therefore, points out the importance of improving the education
systems and programs for the preservice teachers. This is major
8. because the teachers pass the knowledge that they have to their
students. Equipping them with the best knowledge, skills, and
experience in STEM is, therefore, an important way of ensuring
that students will later receive the best STEM education (Teo &
Ke, 2014). In a research study that was carried out on the theory
of planned behavior in Taiwan, it was established that Stronger
STEM teaching was positively related to higher perceived
behavioral control. In this research, the conclusion was that a
positive appreciation of STEM education resulted in a positive
teacher competence in this field (Lin & Williams, 2016).
In the same aspect as the knowledge content of a teacher, a
study established that the level of mathematics content in a
teacher can be improved through the use of online study
materials. As the world goes digital, so should the education
system. Digitalization can be beneficial in boosting knowledge
and skills among STEM teachers (Swars, Daane & Giesen,
2006). This is because, through exposure to an online learning
platform, preservice elementary teachers are able to gain new
knowledge and even get reference materials to use in classes.
Further research establishes that the use of Makerspace is a
useful tool to engage students studying STEM disciplines. The
research focuses on the ability of the teacher to engage their
students using Makerspace. Far from improving student
engagement, the tool has also been found to be effective in
improving the teachers’ professional development. Both the
student and the teacher are able to benefit from the use of
Makerspace in STEM subjects (Blackley, Sheffield, Maynard,
Koul & Walker, 2017). Through this, the idea of mentorship has
been brought into picture. When students have their teachers as
their mentors, it is possible for them to benefit at a wider range
from STEM education. This research is further supported by
another research that was carried out on the effectiveness of
Makerspace in engaging primary school students in Indonesia.
The results were that learning experiences were improved
(Blackley, Sheffield & Koul, 2018). This, therefore, points out
that teacher preparation to teach STEM subjects can be
9. enhanced through the use of this tool.
The views of preservice teachers on STEM education have
been catered for. A researcher carried out research on the
opinions and perceptions of preservice and in-service teachers
on the STEM education system. Throughout the research, it was
established that there are common features between in-service
and preservice teachers. They both want to develop their careers
in education in various ways (Ejiwale, 2013). One common way
is through attending training workshops where they are guided
on the different forms of project-based approaches that aid them
in teaching STEM subjects. With this research on professional
development using project-based approaches, the same
knowledge can be applied in teaching other subjects such as
languages and mathematics to elementary school students
(Beyer & Davis, 2012). This research is further supported by
the fact that there is need to reform the education system for
preservice elementary school teachers. Their education system
should be designed in such a way that it gives focus on how
teachers should be prepared to teach STEM subjects in order to
improve the end result of service delivery to students (Rogers,
Winship & Sun, 2015). It is therefore important to note that
case methodologies are taking a big role in the shift from
traditional education system which was focused on knowledge
towards the STEM education system which is focused on
innovation ad real practice (Siew, Amir & Chong, 2015). This is
because case methodologies give the students the ability to
experience teaching through practice.
Researchers have also addressed the issue of improving formal
teacher efficacy as a way of preparing preservice elementary
teachers to teach STEM subjects. Scholars have mentioned the
idea of teachers n’ training (TNT), which is one of the informal
teaching experience from the traditional education system. This
study tries to explain the fact that STEM education does not
only depend on formal settings, informal settings also boost the
ability of the student to remember what they have been taught
easily (Flores, 2015). TNT which was used in this case showed
10. that the elementary preservice teachers benefit from this
informal science teaching model (Bracey, Brooks, Marlette &
Locke, 2013). The teachers were able to make quality
presentations after being exposed to this type of informal
training.
When it comes to STEM education, the importance of exposing
children to this education system at an early age has been
mentioned. It is important for kids to get exposed to STEM
education at early age as it helps them understand their interests
at an early age. This was a conclusion after looking at the
declining population of American children who are pursuing
STEM degrees and related disciplines in colleges and
universities (Lee & Nason, 2012). The decrease was explained
by the fact that most of the students were not exposed to STEM
education during their early schooling. The job market is
narrowing down and there is high demand for people with
degrees in STEM and its related courses (DeJarnette, 2012). In
order to prepare kids for the future it is important that early
exposure to STEM education is improved.
Various scholars have also taken the step to outline ways in
which STEM teachers should be prepared to teach. One way of
focusing on their preparedness is by investing in their education
system. This further pointed out to the need of various
education stakeholders to take part in improving their education
programs as a way of improving the general education system of
a country (Nadelson, Callahan, Pyke, Hay & Schrader, 2009).
According to this research,there is need to ensure that these
teachers have enough research and study materials in order to
improve the general progress in STEM education.
Teacher experience has over time been associated with
increased output in terms of their knowledge and ability to
engage their students. The same has been found to be an
important aspect of STEM teaching. Teachers' pre-practice
during their training in colleges and universities has been used
by their lecturers to evaluate their ability to go into the field
and practice teaching. Researchers have therefore also outlined
11. that periodical field teaching practice by teachers improve their
ability to teach STEM subjects (Kennedy & Archambault,
2012). The article goes further to outline the importance of field
experiences to these teachers. Through such experiences, they
learn other skills and personal competencies that accompany
their profession. Their confidence level is boosted through
frequent exposure to the teaching environment (Radloff &
Guzey, 2016). Similarly, another research that was aimed at
establishing what was missing in the STEM teaching curriculum
addressed the issue of teaching practice. From this specific
research, it was established that preservice teacher exposure had
one major positive impact of boosting their confidence. The
issue that was being mentioned in this research is the fact that
their curriculum was missing enough exposure to prepare them
to teach STEM to elementary students. Some of the other
benefits that these teachers will achieve as a result of teaching
practice exposure are self-efficacy. Their abilities to render
teaching services to students are boosted through teaching
practice exposures (Jaipal-Jamani & Angeli, 2017). Robotics is
another tool that has been found to improve self-efficacy among
preservice elementary teachers. In the research, it was
established that those teachers who used robotics in teaching
science showed an increased interest in teaching as well as
improved self-efficacy. Those teachers who have mastered the
art of using robotics in designing their lesson plans were able to
capture the attention and emotion of their students (Kim, Kim,
Yuan, Hill, Doshi & Thai, 2015). This boosted their
concentration and hence the general gain from STEM classes.
For an effective output from STEM education, there is need for
proper teacher preparation. Studies have therefore gone into
finding out ways in which preservice elementary school teachers
should be prepared to teach SDTEM disciplines. Some of the
preparations that have been outlined include teacher training
and induction (Wilson, 2011). This goes hand in hand with the
need to prepare these teachers to fit the changing education
demands and systems. With the aim of outlining the required
12. preparation for teachers, it was outlined that the learning
opportunities that teachers accessed had a direct impact on the
quality of knowledge they passed across to their students. The
teachers should be able to remain consistent in their ability to
provide guidance to their students irrespective of the changes to
education systems. Teacher relevance should be maintained
through their STEM education systems. This was addressed by
the case study on two Korean community schools. The study
pointed out t the important of STEM content in ensuring that
teachers remained relevant in all STEM education systems that
might be incorporated in future (Jho, Hong & Song, 2016). The
STEM content of their education also determines the knowledge
that they pass across to their students in elementary schools.
One unique aspect of teaching that has been found to be
effective in teaching is the use of case and case methodologies.
The use of these methods in teaching STEM had the effect of
teacher consistency in making use of their knowledge (Eckman,
Williams & Silver-Thorn,2016). Preservice elementary school
teachers came to learn that it was important to make their
lessons and teachings in STEM subjects student-centered (Yoon,
Pedretti, Pedretti, Hewitt, Perris & Van Oostveen, 2006). They
learned that in order to ensure that students have a maximum
gain from their classes; they needed to make sure that they
involved them in-class activities.

Clinical Experiences of Secondary Mathematics Teachers in
Their Induction Years
Clinical Experiences of Secondary Mathematics Teachers in
Their Induction Years
Clinical Experiences of Secondary Mathematics Teachers in
Their Induction Years
A Literature Review
Introduction
Teaching math is hard work. New teachers of mathematics must
manage the application of their own content knowledge to a new
and highly complex learning environment. Yet, a review of the
literature reveals that little is known about the needs of these
23. beginning secondary mathematics teachers. The research
confirms however, that the first years for secondary math
teachers are uniquely challenging even for very strong and well-
prepared new teachers (Wood, Jilk, & Paine, 2012).
Our review of the literature aims to uncover how new secondary
mathematics teachers are supported in their first years on the
job. We first discuss the methods we used for locating our
literature sources and themes that we use to organize this
review. We then begin our review of the literature by exploring
induction from an historical perspective and by discerning what
is known about new teacher induction. We consider new teacher
induction from a broad perspective including what supports
might comprise induction for new teachers and how those
supports are applied to new teachers of secondary mathematics.
We attempt to synthesize the current literature by organizing
our findings into major themes on induction for new teachers
and on induction supports specific for beginning secondary
mathematics teachers.
Methods
Initially we conducted our literature search using University of
South Florida’s education database of peer-reviewed scholarly
articles. Our research topic was worded as, “describe what is
known about clinical experiences of mathematics teachers
through the induction years – the first five years of practice”.
When we conducted our initial literature search, we used the
keywords “clinical experiences” and “induction” but these terms
did not yield useful articles. We then began looking more
specifically at “induction” and the adjectives
“beginning/new/novice” to capture literature on teachers in their
first five years of practice. We also used these phrases and the
adjectives, “mathematics” and “secondary” to capture relevant
literature on secondary mathematics teachers. We excluded
studies that focused on primary grades specifically or non-
mathematics content specifically and opted for studies that were
general in nature or specific to secondary mathematics.
24. After these modifications, we began to uncover relevant
literature but as we read the articles and assessed the quality of
the studies, we questioned the quality of the articles pulled. We
then located key articles by “pearling” from the first articles
unearthed. We used this strategy multiple times which yielded
more valuable sources. We realized the difficulty of staying on
topic and chased after frequent “red herrings” in an effort to
absorb greater depth on our topic. Nevertheless, we found a
stopping point and submitted our annotated citations. However,
we continued to pearl new articles and found more studies and
articles that helped explore the topic more deeply. Our
references therefore reflect an up-to-date list of what we have
found to be the most relevant articles for our topic.
We also actively used Nvivo software to identify themes across
the literature and for quickly locating words and phrases. These
themes are bolded throughout this review.
Background
Traditionally, new teachers have not had the kind of support,
guidance, and orientation programs that other highly-skilled
professions have had (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011) and new
teachers have been left to “sink or swim” (Wood et al., 2012).
New teachers have often been given the hardest assignments
with the most challenging students. According to Ingall (2006),
(as cited in Ingersoll & Strong, 2011), some denounce this
practice as an example of a profession that “cannibalizes its
young”. Notably, attrition from beginning teachers causes high
turnover, yet evidence suggests new teachers leave because they
don’t have adequate support from their school administrators
(Ingersoll & Strong, 2011).
However, new-teacher learning is not complete when teachers
leave their pre-service preparations. In fact, the most powerful
learning for new teachers occurs in their first few years in
service (Darling-Hammond, 2017). This is especially true for
new secondary mathematics teachers (Zhang, 2014).
25. Discussion on New Teacher Induction
Induction for beginning teachers is necessary for their
flourishing in their new profession. Several studies describe
induction as orientation, preparation, systematic support,
guidance, and mentoring for novice teachers (Darling-
Hammond, 2017; Ingersoll & Strong, 2011). For the purposes of
this review we define induction as any professional
development geared especially for beginning teachers within the
first five years of their practice. Induction for new teachers is
recognized as a necessary system of supports for helping new
teachers not just survive in the classroom but thrive in their new
profession (Scherer, 2012).
Induction should be all-inclusive. McNally and Oberski (2003)
propose that induction needs be like a “seamless garment” of
professional development for new teachers. They specifically
identify non-formal learning, classroom observation and
feedback, and induction curriculum supports as key pieces of an
induction program. McNally & Oberski (2003) caution however
that there is little research on why and how these different
pieces of “fabric” should be woven together. Yet, Bianchini &
Brenner (2009) suggest that breadth of induction programs
should be sacrificed for depth so that the needs of beginning
teachers are addressed as the most pressing issues in induction.
Non-formal learning and collaboration should be a part of
Induction. McNally & Oberski (2003) first identify the
importance of non-formal or informal learning and collaboration
as critical to an induction program. More specifically, there
exists vast spectrums of non-formal learning, both professional
and personal that occur outside of any imposed system of
support. These non-formal learning events are worthy of further
investigation (McNally, Blake, & Reid, 2009). A corollary to
non-formal learning is the importance of collaborative
relationship development. Several studies suggest that
relationships are of central importance to new teachers and
informal relationships with colleagues and with students are
important for the growth of an individual in his profession
26. (Cwikla, 2004; McNally et al., 2009; Wood et al., 2012). For
example, Cwikla (2004) noted that beginning teachers
consistently rated collaborative types of activities higher than
3.0 on a 1–4 Likert-type scale. Wood et al (2012) noted in their
case studies of beginning mathematics teachers that managing
the complex relationships of math, students, and teacher is
particularly challenging for new teachers. Comment by

informal learning is
Classroom observation and feedback is necessary. McNally &
Oberski (2003) also identify the importance of observation and
feedback as critical to an induction program. The opportunity to
discuss and reflect on one’s own teaching describes classroom
observation and feedback. This type of support helps new
teachers make sense of their own teaching (McNally et al,
2003). Harrison, (2001) noted that there have been positive
effects on teacher development when regular observations and
feedback are provided (as cited in McNally et al, 2009). For
example, Japanese lesson study, a support that encourages each
teacher’s practice to be public and for observation by all
members of the learning organization, is one version of this
type of support that is being implemented worldwide and takes
advantage of mentor and developing teachers’ rich classroom
expertise (Cwilka, 2004).
Induction curriculum is a proposed list of competencies that
should be implemented with care. McNally & Oberski (2003)
also identify the need for an induction curriculum. This implies
a list of competencies or a standard for induction support.
Tickle (2000a) argues (as cited in McNally et al, 2003) that
there is no simple prescription for an induction curriculum
because teaching and learning to teach is complex. McNally et
al., (2009) declare that standards can be very easily politicized,
and any standards should be learning-led rather than
assessment-led (McNally et al., 2009). Comment by Cynthia
Castro-Minnehan: Are?
Individualized support for beginning teachers recognizes the
27. importance of developing a new teacher’s identity in the
profession. Teachers have “special qualities as individual
persons which imbue their teaching” (McNally et al, 2003, pg
66). On this point, individualized support through early
nurturing of the new teacher, of early professional learning, and
of professional identity are important and may comprise
mentoring or coaching, for example. In fact, Ingersoll & Strong
(2011) state that mentoring has become the dominant form of
induction support and the terms “mentoring” and “induction”
are often used interchangeably. They also declare that greater
participation by beginning teachers in mentoring programs has
been shown to have a positive impact on student achievement
(Ingersoll & Strong, 2011).
Learning to exercise autonomy typifies the teaching profession
and sets new teacher development apart from other professional
development learning. Teaching is distinct and less like the
more directed work of some other careers. Individual choices in
the moment align teaching more with professions that require
autonomy in decision-making and that demand expansive
learning, while also requiring adherence to ethical practices.
Developing competency in “discretion over practice” requires
the development of strong identities for new teachers (McNally
et al., 2009). However, Gellert, (2008) observed in his analysis
of mathematics teacher orientations that teachers who are at
schools where they are not given a certain degree of autonomy
are less likely to initiate their own professional development.
Singapore is an example of all-inclusive system of induction
support. Internationally, some countries like Singapore for
example, have well-developed systems for induction of new
teachers like that envisioned by McNally et al. (2003).
Singapore offers their new teachers systemic induction and
mentoring and is arguably the most comprehensive support
system in the world. The supports include:
· Mentors. Singapore’s National Institute of Education (NIE)
trains mentor teachers and provides them a special
compensation. Their professional development is tied to
28. specifically supporting new teachers.
· Comprehensive Induction Support Package. Novice teachers
receive a package of supports that includes mentoring, in-
service courses, reduced teaching load, courses on classroom
management, counseling, reflective practices, and assessments
driven by the NIE.
· A buddy system.Singapore also offers their novice teachers a
buddy system in which the new teacher is assigned a peer
teacher who teaches the same subject and a supervisor to help
adjust them adjust to the demands of the work.
(Darling-Hammond, 2017).
New Teacher Induction in the U.S.
New teacher induction in the U.S. is improving. The National
Staff Development Council, NSDC published a report in 2010
that summarized progress in the U.S. on key indicators of
professional development. This data was collected as a part of
survey work completed in the school years 2003-04 and 2007-
08. The report identified the following range of supports being
provided to new teachers in the US through the induction years:
· Induction Program
· Working with a master or mentor teacher
· Working with a mentor teacher in the same subject area
· Regular supportive communication with a principal,
administrator or department chair
· Seminars or classes for beginning teachers
· Common planning time
· Reduced number of preparations
· Reduced teaching schedule
(Wei, Darling-Hammond, Adamson, & National Staff, 2010b)
This report highlights that nationally, new teacher participation
in induction and mentoring programs climbed to 73 and 78%
respectively in the last decade (Wei et al., 2010) .
Although induction programs are becoming more common, there
is great variation in the length and the availability of the
induction programs. Few schools in the U.S. actually provide
comprehensive induction support past the first year or two (Wei
29. et al., 2010). The state of California, for example, provides a
mandatory two-year induction program prior to teachers
receiving their professional certification (Bianchini & Brenner,
2010) . Beginning teachers who received some type of
induction had higher measures of job satisfaction, commitment
or retention (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011) and sustained induction
over many years has a positive impact on student achievement.
(Ingersoll & Strong, 2011). A large-scale evaluation of a
comprehensive teacher induction where new teachers were
followed for three years reported a positive and statistically
significant impact on student achievement in year three
(Glazerman et al., 2010). Also, types of supports available to
new teachers is variable especially when demographics are
taken into account. Additionally, although 56 % of beginning
teachers with five or fewer years of teaching experience report
common planning time, teachers report only 2.7 hours per week
of collaboration and only 16% agree that their schools support
cooperative efforts. Notable is that of the 55 % of beginning
teachers identified more of these teachers are elementary than
secondary (Wei et al., 2010). Teachers in urban and rural
schools and schools with the highest free and reduced lunch and
minority enrollments participated in these programs less often
than teachers in suburban schools and schools with fewer low-
income and minority students (Wei et al., 2010a) .
New mathematics teacher induction in the U.S.
Content-specific supports for new teachers in the U.S. are
lacking for secondary mathematics teachers. The content-
specific supports for new teachers involve working with mentor
teachers in the same content area, for example. According to the
National Staff Council’s report, about half of all new teachers
work with mentors in their content area but they noted that
beginning secondary mathematics teachers participate less in
content-specific professional development in their first three
years of teaching than their more experienced colleagues (Wei
et al., 2010). According to Ingersoll & Strong (2011), how
30. carefully mentors are selected is an issue for programs. They
also conclude that that beginning teachers with mentors from
the same field were less likely to leave after their first year.
Learning to teach secondary mathematics is a complex
undertaking.Yet, Wood et al., (2012) argue that even well-
prepared new mathematics teachers’ face difficult challenges.
These researchers attempted to access the experiences and
perspectives of beginning mathematics teachers to get at what
learning to teach mathematics requires and also to document its
complexity. Wood et al (2012) concluded that induction should
be focused on learning to teach mathematics rather than just
providing general support and suggests that this notion is a
powerful shift in the study of induction for secondary
mathematics teachers. This perspective was also highlighted by
Bianchini & Brenner (2010) who suggest that breadth of
induction programs should be sacrificed for depth so that the
needs of beginning teachers are addressed as the most pressing
issues in induction. Wood et al (2012) also suggest that new
secondary mathematics teachers need help with how to think
about simultaneously managing the complex relationships with
students, with the mathematical content, and with the
connection between students and mathematics in ways that help
them continually teach and learn from teaching.
Non-formal learning opportunities are very important to
beginning secondary mathematics teachers. The unique
complexity of teaching suggests that critical teacher learning
happens outside the formal induction structures and professional
support systems and is informal in nature (McNally, 2009). An
ethnographic study of 40 beginning secondary school teachers
in their first year of teaching revealed that informal learning
drives teacher identity in the school workplace (McNally,
2009). A more recent study (Hopkins & Spillane, 2014)
revealed that formal organizational structures inside schools
such as grade level teams, were critical for shaping beginning
mathematics teachers’ opportunities to learn. This study also
reveals that beginning mathematics teachers sought advice on
31. mathematics instruction from colleagues in the same grade level
who have experience with teaching the curriculum. (Hopkins &
Spillane, 2014). As noted earlier, Cwikla (2004) found that
beginning mathematics teachers consistently rated collaborative
types of activities higher than 3.0 on a 1–4 Likert-type scale.
Small scale studies have attempted to discern the needs of
novice secondary mathematics teachers. Cwikla (2004)
interviewed 10 mathematics educators with seven years of
experience or less to try to understand their reactions to
professional support in their profession. She concluded that
arteries for teacher exchange about mathematics teaching and
learning had not been established and that the conversations
with their peers did not tackle ways to improve mathematics
practice. The implication in her work is that new teachers seek
rich pedagogical content-specific collaboration with their
colleagues. Zhang (2014) investigated how new teachers
implemented secondary mathematics common core state
standards (CCSS). He surveyed 17 secondary mathematics
teachers. His qualitative study revealed that these new teachers
felt their content knowledge was obsolete and that the content
in the mathematics CCSS went beyond their preparation.
Specifically, his study revealed a mismatch between new
teachers’ expected teaching competence and their actual
teaching competence and concludes that professional
development programs, especially induction programs for new
teachers, should be redesigned to integrate the CCSS into
curricular development, instructional strategies, learning
experiences, and assessment techniques (Zhang, 2014).
New teachers are more willing to adapt to the demands of the
new content. Another major theme that emerged from this
review is that new teachers were more willing to adapt to the
demands of new math standards than their peers. Zang (2014)
noted that new teachers were more willing to embrace CCSS
than their more experienced teachers. Although experienced
teachers are expected to mentor new teachers, their resistance to
adopting the CCSS made collaboration with their new
32. colleagues difficult. New teachers suggested collaboration
should involve collaborative activities through peers and online
collaboration (Zhang, 2014) . This was echoed in a study by
Cwikla, (2004) where she reported that less experienced
mathematics teachers expressed disappointment with the more
experienced teachers’ content knowledge and suggested that
these views ought to be used to help structure professional
learning environments for less experienced teachers.
Conclusions
This study investigated literature on the experiences of
beginning secondary mathematics teachers in their induction
years. This investigation has revealed that there is very little
research concerning subject-specific induction support programs
(Wood, Jilk, & Paine, 2012) and more specifically secondary
mathematics induction supports. Further, there seems to be
ambivalence around how to best support new teachers who are
undertaking the challenging work of teaching mathematics.
Although studies (Cwikla, 2003; Zhang, 2014) suggest that new
mathematics teachers are frustrated with their more experienced
peers’ content knowledge.
Designing relevant and effective induction programs for new
mathematics teachers depends upon learning what the unique
needs of new mathematics teachers are and learning how to
implement comprehensive and sustained induction programs
that meet those needs in a collaborative and sustained manner.
Induction programs designed around the needs of new secondary
mathematics teachers during his/her first 5 years is essential for
the unique and complex work of teaching secondary
mathematics.
Directions for future research
From the review of the literature there appears to be a lack of
understanding of what the needs are of beginning secondary
33. mathematics teachers. An understanding of these needs could
serve to better inform the design of systematic induction
programs that are relevant and effective. Therefore, one
teacher-focused area for further research would be to answer the
question, “what are the needs of beginning secondary
mathematics teachers?”
More research is needed in the area of content-specific
induction supports to determine what subject or content-specific
induction supports are most relevant for new teachers in their
content area. More broadly, there may be significant policy
implications to providing more “personalized” induction
programs that are subject specific.
