2/28/2020 Assessment Instructions - PV003: Leadership in the
Early Childhood Field
https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/d2l/le/content/6714/view
Content/2062/View 2/2
It is strongly recommended that you review all Learning
Resources and complete the Learning Activities prior
to attempting the Assessment.
For Part II of this Performance Task, you will explain how you
apply emotional intelligence and authentic leadership
to handle ethical challenges and manage change.
Imagine that you are the new director of Little Flower Child
Care Center. Review the “Overview of Early Childhood
Care Center” document to learn more about your staff and their
leadership style and temperament. You are faced
with two concerns from parents regarding staff at your center:
1. Families are concerned about the ethical reliability of a staff
member who was arrested for driving while
intoxicated (DWI). The DWI arrest was published in the local
newspaper and a constituent of parents voiced
outrage. Families of the children in the center are calling for the
teacher’s resignation. (See the “Parental Letter”
document.)
2. Another group of parents have voiced concerns about staff
members who are texting on their mobile phones
while caring for their children. You have issued a new policy
banning cell phones during work hours, except in the
case of emergency. Many of your staff members are unhappy
with this change and have voiced their resistance
to you during a weekly staff meeting. They say that it is an
unfair rule that disrespects their personal freedom and
family obligations. Nancy Ruiz, Leeza Knowles, and Danielle
Freed are particularly vocal about their discontent
with the new policy. See the “Memo to Center Staff” document.
Using the information from the three documents and your
knowledge of the “Code of Ethical Conduct” in the early
childhood care field write a 2- to 3-page response in which you:
1. Provide a detailed explanation of the strategies you will use
to address the ethical dilemma of the DWI.
2. Explain how you will manage the change regarding cell
phone use at the center.
3. Explain how your actions are informed by your understanding
of authentic leadership, emotional intelligence,
leadership style and temperament, and the NAEYC “Code of
Ethical Conduct.”

Title of the Paper in Full Goes Here
Student Name Here
Walden University
Abstract
This is the abstract, which is typed in block format with no
indentation. The abstract briefly summarizes your paper in 120
words or less. Through your abstract, your readers should be
able to fully understand the content and the implications of the
paper. Also, note that writing this section after the paper itself
may be helpful. See section 2.04 APA for tips and more
information on writing abstracts. This template was updated
April 25, 2016.
Title of the Paper
This template’s margins, page numbers, and page breaks are set
for you, and you do not need to change them. Do not add any
extra spaces between the heading and the text (you may want to
check Spacing under Format, Paragraph in your word processor,
and make sure that it is set to 0”). Instead, just double space as
usual, indent a full ½ inch (preferably using the tab button), and
start typing. The introduction should receive no specific
heading because readers assume that the first section functions
as your paper’s introduction.
After considering these formatting issues, you will need to
construct a thesis statement, which lets readers know how you
synthesized the literature into a treatise that is capable of
advancing a new point of view. This statement provides readers
with a lens for understanding the forthcoming research
presented in the body of your essay (after all, each piece of
literature should support and apply to this thesis statement).
Once you have established your thesis, begin constructing the
introduction. An easy template for writing an introduction
follows:
1.
Start with what has been said or done regarding the topic.
2.
Explain the problem with what has been said or done.
3.
Offer a solution in a concise thesis statement that can be
supported by the literature.
4.
Explain how the thesis brings about social change.
Level 1 Heading
This text will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even
though this section has a new heading, make sure to connect
this section to the previous one so readers can follow along with
the ideas and research presented. The first sentence in each
paragraph should transition from the previous paragraph and
summarize the main point in the paragraph. Make sure each
paragraph contains only one topic, and when you see yourself
drifting to another idea, make sure you break into a new
paragraph. Also, avoid long paragraphs (more than three-fourths
of a page) to help hold readers’ attention; many shorter
paragraphs are better than a few long ones. In short, think this:
new idea, new paragraph.
Another Level 1 Heading
Here is another Level 1 heading. Note that, when you add
additional headings, you should use the APA levels available in
the Styles area of your toolbar. If you enter them manually
instead, you may need to delete the automatic indent that
appears because Word thinks you are beginning a new
paragraph. Again, the topic sentence of this section should
explain how this paragraph is related or a result of what you
discussed in the previous section. Consider using transitions
between sentences to help readers see the connections between
ideas. Below are a few examples of how to transition from one
statement to another (or in some cases, one piece of literature to
another):
1. Many music teachers at Olson Junior High are concerned
about losing their jobs (J. Thompson, personal communication,
July 3, 2013), largely due to the state’s recent financial
cutbacks of fine arts programs (Babar, 2007).
2. Obesity affects as much as 17% of the total population of
children, an increase which may lead to other chronic health
problems (Hera, 2008; Sinatra, 2008).
For more examples, see some of the transitions handouts on the
Writing Center’s website.
Level 2 Heading
The Level 2 heading designates a subsection of the previous
section. Using headings is a great way to organize a paper and
increase its readability, so be sure to review heading rules on
APA 3.02 and 3.03 in order to format them correctly. For
shorter papers, using one or two levels is all that is needed. You
would use Level 1 (centered, bold font with both uppercase and
lowercase) and Level 2 (left aligned, bold, both uppercase and
lowercase). This template provides examples of APA’s four
heading levels, but remember that at least two headings on the
same level are needed before the next heading level. For
example, a paper must have at least two level 3 headings before
a level 4 heading.
Level 3 heading.Note that you should write Level 3 and 4
headings in sentence case, meaning that only the first word and
any proper nouns are capitalized. The number of headings
needed in a particular paper is not set, but longer papers may
benefit from another heading level, such as this Level 3 heading
(which is an indented, bold, lowercase paragraph heading).
Level 4 heading. One crucial area in APA is learning how to
cite in academic work. Make sure to cite source information
throughout your paper to avoid plagiarism. This practice is
critical: you need to give credit to your sources and avoid
copying others’ work at all costs. Look at APA starting at 6.01
for guidelines on citing source information in your text.
Level 4 heading.You will want to include at least two of each
kind of heading in your paper, hence this additional paragraph
modeling effective heading usage. See below for further tips on
using headings effectively.
Level 3 heading.Again, if you choose to use Level 3 or 4
headings, at least two of each heading level should appear in the
paper. Otherwise, if only one heading appears, your readers may
question the need for a heading at all. If you find yourself
questioning whether or how to use headings, consider
consulting your instructor or committee chair for his or her
input.
Level 1 Heading
APA can seem difficult to master, but following the general
rules becomes easier with use. The Writing Center also offers
numerous resources on its website and by email to help.
And so forth until the conclusion…..
Level 1 Heading
The conclusion section should recap the major points of your
paper. However, perhaps more importantly, the conclusion
should also interpret what you have written and what it means
in the bigger picture. To help write your concluding remarks,
consider asking yourself these questions: What do you want to
happen with the information you have provided? What do you
want to change? What is your ultimate goal in using this
information? What would it mean if the suggestions in your
paper were taken and used?

PV003
To the Director of Little Flower Child Care Center,
We are writing as a group of gravely concerned parents
about a recently publicized incident involving Nicholas Rye, the
head teacher of the 3- to 5-year-old group at your center. It was
published in last week’s local newspaper that Mr. Rye was
charged and convicted of a DWI (driving while intoxicated).
While we understand that this incident occurred outside of work
hours and away from Little Flower premises, we strongly
believe that it is cause to believe that Mr. Rye is unfit to care
for our children and provides grounds for his dismissal.
Many of us currently have children in Mr. Rye’s classroom
and are shocked at the lack of action by Little Flower
administration on this issue. We do not believe that a man who
uses such little judgment, and is willing to put his own life and
the lives of others in such danger, has any place caring for our
children. We acknowledge that he has in the past created a fun
and structured learning environment for children—we had come
to trust and rely on Mr. Rye. This makes this news all the more
devastating for our families. We are deeply disappointed in his
actions and have lost complete confidence in him as a teacher.
We understand that all humans make mistakes, but some
mistakes are unforgiveable, especially when the well-being of
children is at stake. We are, therefore, calling for the
resignation of Mr. Rye.
A lack of disciplinary action from Little Flower
administration on this issue may force some of us to seek
childcare elsewhere. We hope for a clear and decisive resolution
to this issue. Please make Little Flower safe for our children
again.
Sincerely,
Concerned Little Flower parents:
Daniel and Luana Ruiz
Stephen and Mary Chase
Fiona Lawland
Diane Martin and Lee Harrison
Benjamin Wong
Carrie Inglebreed
Samson McConnell
George and Wendy Suthers
Gary Weissman
Nory and Eugene Perez

Memo: To All Little Flower Staff
Re: Texting and Cell Phone Use
Over the past few weeks, we have received over 20 phone calls
or in-person complaints from parents regarding the use of
mobile phones by staff members during teaching and caregiving
hours. They find it to be unprofessional and reflective of a lack
of vigilance in the care we provide. While you are at work, your
full attention should be devoted to the children under your care.
We understand that you may have family members or other
issues that require your attention during the daytime hours. You
each receive two half-hour breaks throughout the 8-hour day.
During those breaks, you may use your cell phone to text, call,
or e-mail in the staff room only. During all other times, you
may not use your mobile phone. Your cell phone should never
be visible in the presence of the children you care for.
A refusal or inability to follow these new guidelines will result
in disciplinary action.
This is a very serious issue, and we have tried the informal
approach of speaking to the individuals who have raised
parents’ concerns. The lack of results from those conversations
has forced us to implement a strict zero-tolerance policy. We
appreciate your understanding in this matter.
We will discuss details and concerns at next week’s staff
meeting. In the meantime, please adhere to this policy as
detailed above.

  • 7. Early Childhood Field https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/d2l/le/content/6714/view Content/2062/View 2/2 It is strongly recommended that you review all Learning Resources and complete the Learning Activities prior to attempting the Assessment. For Part II of this Performance Task, you will explain how you apply emotional intelligence and authentic leadership to handle ethical challenges and manage change. Imagine that you are the new director of Little Flower Child Care Center. Review the “Overview of Early Childhood Care Center” document to learn more about your staff and their leadership style and temperament. You are faced with two concerns from parents regarding staff at your center: 1. Families are concerned about the ethical reliability of a staff member who was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI). The DWI arrest was published in the local newspaper and a constituent of parents voiced outrage. Families of the children in the center are calling for the teacher’s resignation. (See the “Parental Letter” document.) 2. Another group of parents have voiced concerns about staff members who are texting on their mobile phones while caring for their children. You have issued a new policy banning cell phones during work hours, except in the case of emergency. Many of your staff members are unhappy with this change and have voiced their resistance to you during a weekly staff meeting. They say that it is an unfair rule that disrespects their personal freedom and family obligations. Nancy Ruiz, Leeza Knowles, and Danielle
  • 8. Freed are particularly vocal about their discontent with the new policy. See the “Memo to Center Staff” document. Using the information from the three documents and your knowledge of the “Code of Ethical Conduct” in the early childhood care field write a 2- to 3-page response in which you: 1. Provide a detailed explanation of the strategies you will use to address the ethical dilemma of the DWI. 2. Explain how you will manage the change regarding cell phone use at the center. 3. Explain how your actions are informed by your understanding of authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, leadership style and temperament, and the NAEYC “Code of Ethical Conduct.” Part II: Applying Leadership Principles https://tempolearning.brightspace.com/content/enforced/6714- PV003_DEV/Assessment.html?d2lSessionVal=LDGlm6EZxhtRi V9Ufh5ojhB9K&ou=6714&d2l_body_type=3#collapse_acc_2 8 Title of the Paper in Full Goes Here Student Name Here Walden University Abstract This is the abstract, which is typed in block format with no indentation. The abstract briefly summarizes your paper in 120 words or less. Through your abstract, your readers should be
  • 9. able to fully understand the content and the implications of the paper. Also, note that writing this section after the paper itself may be helpful. See section 2.04 APA for tips and more information on writing abstracts. This template was updated April 25, 2016. Title of the Paper This template’s margins, page numbers, and page breaks are set for you, and you do not need to change them. Do not add any extra spaces between the heading and the text (you may want to check Spacing under Format, Paragraph in your word processor, and make sure that it is set to 0”). Instead, just double space as usual, indent a full ½ inch (preferably using the tab button), and start typing. The introduction should receive no specific heading because readers assume that the first section functions as your paper’s introduction. After considering these formatting issues, you will need to construct a thesis statement, which lets readers know how you synthesized the literature into a treatise that is capable of advancing a new point of view. This statement provides readers with a lens for understanding the forthcoming research presented in the body of your essay (after all, each piece of literature should support and apply to this thesis statement). Once you have established your thesis, begin constructing the introduction. An easy template for writing an introduction follows: 1. Start with what has been said or done regarding the topic. 2. Explain the problem with what has been said or done. 3. Offer a solution in a concise thesis statement that can be supported by the literature.
  • 10. 4. Explain how the thesis brings about social change. Level 1 Heading This text will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even though this section has a new heading, make sure to connect this section to the previous one so readers can follow along with the ideas and research presented. The first sentence in each paragraph should transition from the previous paragraph and summarize the main point in the paragraph. Make sure each paragraph contains only one topic, and when you see yourself drifting to another idea, make sure you break into a new paragraph. Also, avoid long paragraphs (more than three-fourths of a page) to help hold readers’ attention; many shorter paragraphs are better than a few long ones. In short, think this: new idea, new paragraph. Another Level 1 Heading Here is another Level 1 heading. Note that, when you add additional headings, you should use the APA levels available in the Styles area of your toolbar. If you enter them manually instead, you may need to delete the automatic indent that appears because Word thinks you are beginning a new paragraph. Again, the topic sentence of this section should explain how this paragraph is related or a result of what you discussed in the previous section. Consider using transitions between sentences to help readers see the connections between ideas. Below are a few examples of how to transition from one statement to another (or in some cases, one piece of literature to another): 1. Many music teachers at Olson Junior High are concerned about losing their jobs (J. Thompson, personal communication, July 3, 2013), largely due to the state’s recent financial cutbacks of fine arts programs (Babar, 2007). 2. Obesity affects as much as 17% of the total population of
  • 11. children, an increase which may lead to other chronic health problems (Hera, 2008; Sinatra, 2008). For more examples, see some of the transitions handouts on the Writing Center’s website. Level 2 Heading The Level 2 heading designates a subsection of the previous section. Using headings is a great way to organize a paper and increase its readability, so be sure to review heading rules on APA 3.02 and 3.03 in order to format them correctly. For shorter papers, using one or two levels is all that is needed. You would use Level 1 (centered, bold font with both uppercase and lowercase) and Level 2 (left aligned, bold, both uppercase and lowercase). This template provides examples of APA’s four heading levels, but remember that at least two headings on the same level are needed before the next heading level. For example, a paper must have at least two level 3 headings before a level 4 heading. Level 3 heading.Note that you should write Level 3 and 4 headings in sentence case, meaning that only the first word and any proper nouns are capitalized. The number of headings needed in a particular paper is not set, but longer papers may benefit from another heading level, such as this Level 3 heading (which is an indented, bold, lowercase paragraph heading). Level 4 heading. One crucial area in APA is learning how to cite in academic work. Make sure to cite source information throughout your paper to avoid plagiarism. This practice is critical: you need to give credit to your sources and avoid copying others’ work at all costs. Look at APA starting at 6.01 for guidelines on citing source information in your text. Level 4 heading.You will want to include at least two of each kind of heading in your paper, hence this additional paragraph modeling effective heading usage. See below for further tips on
  • 12. using headings effectively. Level 3 heading.Again, if you choose to use Level 3 or 4 headings, at least two of each heading level should appear in the paper. Otherwise, if only one heading appears, your readers may question the need for a heading at all. If you find yourself questioning whether or how to use headings, consider consulting your instructor or committee chair for his or her input. Level 1 Heading APA can seem difficult to master, but following the general rules becomes easier with use. The Writing Center also offers numerous resources on its website and by email to help. And so forth until the conclusion….. Level 1 Heading The conclusion section should recap the major points of your paper. However, perhaps more importantly, the conclusion should also interpret what you have written and what it means in the bigger picture. To help write your concluding remarks, consider asking yourself these questions: What do you want to happen with the information you have provided? What do you want to change? What is your ultimate goal in using this information? What would it mean if the suggestions in your paper were taken and used? References (Please note that the following references are intended as examples only. Also, these illustrate different types of references but are not all cited in the text. In your paper, be sure every reference entry matches a citation, and every citation refers to an item in the reference list.) Alexander, G., & Bonaparte, N. (2008).

It was published in last week’s local newspaper that Mr. Rye was charged and convicted of a DWI (driving while intoxicated). While we understand that this incident occurred outside of work hours and away from Little Flower premises, we strongly believe that it is cause to believe that Mr. Rye is unfit to care
  • 16. for our children and provides grounds for his dismissal. Many of us currently have children in Mr. Rye’s classroom and are shocked at the lack of action by Little Flower administration on this issue. We do not believe that a man who uses such little judgment, and is willing to put his own life and the lives of others in such danger, has any place caring for our children. We acknowledge that he has in the past created a fun and structured learning environment for children—we had come to trust and rely on Mr. Rye. This makes this news all the more devastating for our families. We are deeply disappointed in his actions and have lost complete confidence in him as a teacher. We understand that all humans make mistakes, but some mistakes are unforgiveable, especially when the well-being of children is at stake. We are, therefore, calling for the resignation of Mr. Rye. A lack of disciplinary action from Little Flower administration on this issue may force some of us to seek childcare elsewhere. We hope for a clear and decisive resolution to this issue. Please make Little Flower safe for our children again. Sincerely, Concerned Little Flower parents: Daniel and Luana Ruiz Stephen and Mary Chase Fiona Lawland Diane Martin and Lee Harrison Benjamin Wong Carrie Inglebreed Samson McConnell George and Wendy Suthers Gary Weissman Nory and Eugene Perez Nathaniel Louis-Charon Bette Oliveira ©2014 Walden University 1
  • 17. PV003 Memo: To All Little Flower Staff Re: Texting and Cell Phone Use Over the past few weeks, we have received over 20 phone calls or in-person complaints from parents regarding the use of mobile phones by staff members during teaching and caregiving hours. They find it to be unprofessional and reflective of a lack of vigilance in the care we provide. While you are at work, your full attention should be devoted to the children under your care. We understand that you may have family members or other issues that require your attention during the daytime hours. You each receive two half-hour breaks throughout the 8-hour day. During those breaks, you may use your cell phone to text, call, or e-mail in the staff room only. During all other times, you may not use your mobile phone. Your cell phone should never be visible in the presence of the children you care for. A refusal or inability to follow these new guidelines will result in disciplinary action. This is a very serious issue, and we have tried the informal approach of speaking to the individuals who have raised parents’ concerns. The lack of results from those conversations has forced us to implement a strict zero-tolerance policy. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We will discuss details and concerns at next week’s staff meeting. In the meantime, please adhere to this policy as detailed above. ©2014 Walden University 1
