Part 3 (Due 1/19/15)
To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the "Section B: Problem Description" assignment in Module 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists," available in the textbook appendix or electronically on the textbook student resource CD-ROM. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template," available in the textbook appendix. Use the "Evaluation Table Template" as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the projects problem and proposed solution. Make sure to do the following:
1) Include a description of the search method (e.g., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
2) Summarize all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
3) Incorporate a description of the validity of the internal and external research.
It is essential to make sure that the research support for the proposed solution is sufficient, compelling, relevant, and from peer-reviewed professional journal articles.
Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design in Module 3 with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Early literacy relies on appropriately preparing young children for reading. As young children are exposed to letters and sounds, they begin to build a foundation for phonemic awareness. This step is critical in preparing for the sequential order of reading instruction. Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension build off each other to provide appropriate development for literacy.
Create a 12‐15 slide digital presentation intended to be shown to elementary general education classroom teachers within a professional development setting.
Address the following within your presentation:
· Describe the scope and importance of reading education history in the U.S.
· Discuss the importance of literacy in Grades K‐3 and the educational effects on students in their later academic years.
· Provide an overview of the Big 5 components of reading instruction (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension).
· Describe how the brain is involved in the Big 5 components of reading instruction and how the sequential order of each component is important for cognitive processing and reading instruction .
· Identify and describe two intervention strategies, per Big 5 component, for struggling readers. At least one strategy identified, per component, should be appropriate for students to use at home .
· Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.
Support your presentation with 3‐5 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in‐text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Part 3 (Due 1/19/15)
To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the "Section B: Problem Description" assignment in Module 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists," available in the textbook appendix or electronically on the textbook student resource CD-ROM. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template," available in the textbook appendix. Use the "Evaluation Table Template" as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the projects problem and proposed solution. Make sure to do the following:
1) Include a description of the search method (e.g., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
2) Summarize all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
3) Incorporate a description of the validity of the internal and external research.
It is essential to make sure that the research support for the proposed solution is sufficient, compelling, relevant, and from peer-reviewed professional journal articles.
Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design in Module 3 with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

ASSIGNEMENTEarly literacy relies on appropriately preparing you.docxjane3dyson92312
ASSIGNEMENT:
Early literacy relies on appropriately preparing young children for reading. As young children are exposed to letters and sounds, they begin to build a foundation for phonemic awareness. This step is critical in preparing for the sequential order of reading instruction. Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension build off each other to provide appropriate development for literacy.
Create a 12‐15 slide digital presentation intended to be shown to elementary general education classroom teachers within a professional development setting.
Address the following within your presentation:
· Describe the scope and importance of reading education history in the U.S.
· Discuss the importance of literacy in Grades K‐3 and the educational effects on students in their later academic years.
· Provide an overview of the Big 5 components of reading instruction (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension).
· Describe how the brain is involved in the Big 5 components of reading instruction and how the sequential order of each component is important for cognitive processing and reading instruction .
· Identify and describe two intervention strategies, per Big 5 component, for struggling readers. At least one strategy identified, per component, should be appropriate for students to use at home .
· Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.
Support your presentation with 3‐5 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in‐text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Competency
Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field.
Instructions
You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Grand Canyon University
American Psychological Association [APA] Style Guide for
WritingIntroduction
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use
the guidelines provided by the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing
written assignments, except where otherwise noted. GCU has
made APA templates and other resources available within the
Student Success Center; therefore, students are not required to
purchase the APA manual.
PLEASE NOTE:
The curriculum materials (Syllabus, Lectures/Readings,
Resources, etc.) created and provided by GCU in the online or
Web-enhanced modalities are prepared using an editorial format
that relies on APA as a framework but that modifies some
formatting criteria to better suit the nature and purpose of
instructional materials. Students and faculty are advised that
GCU course materials do not adhere strictly to APA format and
should not be used as examples of correct APA format when
preparing written work for class.
APA Format and Style
General
Academic writing, which is independent thought supported by
reliable and relevant research, depends on the ability to
integrate and cite the sources that have been consulted. Use
APA style for all references, in-text citations, formatting, etc.
Write in first- and second-person sparingly, if ever. This means,
avoid using I, we, and you; instead, use he, she, and they. Do
not use contractions.Paper Format
5. 1) Use standard-sized paper of 8.5″ x 11″.
2) Margins should be 1″ all around (top, bottom, left, right).
3) Use Times New Roman 12-point font.
4) For emphasis, use italics (not quotation marks, bold, etc.).
5) Double-space.
6) Align the text flush left. Organization
The basic organization of an APA-style paper includes the title
page, abstract, body, and reference section, though students are
encouraged to follow any specific directions given in their
Overview assignment.
Title Page
The title page includes four elements that should be centered in
the middle of the page: title, author byline, institutional
affiliation followed by the course prefix and number (e.g.,
Grand Canyon University: PSY 351), and date of submission.
Please note that even though APA does not require the date on a
title page, it is a requirement for GCU papers.
Being the first page, the title page is where to set up your page
header, which includes the running head and the page number.
The running head—an abbreviated title that is a maximum of 50
characters—should appear flush left in all uppercase letters in
the header on all pages. Page numbers should be in the header,
flush right.
To format your running head and page numbers in Microsoft
Word 2010, click InsertHeader Blank. In the header box that
shows up, type Running head: ABBREVIATED TITLE HERE.
After the title, tab over till the cursor is at the right margin,
highlight the space, and click InsertPage Number and select
Current PositionPlain Number.
Abstract
The abstract covers the main points of the paper and is not
always required in a GCU writing assignment. Read the
assignment instructions carefully to determine whether the
assignment requires an abstract or not.
6. 1) Abstract is page 2 of the assignment.
2) The word Abstract should be centered at the top of the page.
3) As per GCU policy, the abstract should not exceed 120
words.
4) Do not indent the abstract paragraph.
Body
The body will contain all of the author's main points as well as
detailed and documented support for those ideas.
1) The body begins on its own page.
2) The title of the paper should be centered at the top of the
first page of the body, in initial caps.
3) The introduction follows the title, but is not labeled.
4) Use headings to separate sections of the paper, but none of
the sections should start their own page. The first level of
heading is centered and bolded with each word of four letters or
more capitalized (see template for an example). The second
level of heading (subheading) is flush left and bolded, with each
word of four letters or more capitalized. Note that not all papers
will have headings or subheadings in them. APA dictates that
you should avoid having only one subsection heading and
subsection within a section. In other words, use at least two
subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any at all.
References
The references page will contain a list of all sources actually
cited in the paper.
1) This should start its own page.
2) The word References, though not in italics, is centered at the
top of the page.
3) Include all, any, and only sources that were actually cited in
the paper.
4) Arrange the sources in alphabetical order using the authors'
last names.
Style, Punctuation, and Mechanics
7. Numbers
1) Use numerals for numbers 10 and above (12 of the subjects);
for numbers above and below 10 grouped for comparison (2 of
16 responses); for numbers representing times, dates,
measurements, and ages (2-year-olds, 2 hr 15 min); for statistics
and percentages (multiplied by 5, 5% of the sample); and for
numbers denoting a specific place in a series, book, or table
(Table 3, Group 3, page 32).
2) Spell out numbers below 10 that do not represent precise
measurements (eight items, nine pages); for numbers beginning
a sentence, title, or heading (Forty-eight people responded. Ten
subjects improved.); for common fractions (one fifth of the
class); and for approximations of numbers of days, months, and
years (about three months ago).
Acronyms
An acronym uses the first letter of each word in a name or title.
1) Acronyms must be spelled out completely on initial
appearance in text. The abbreviation or acronym should appear
in parentheses after that initial spelling out.
Example:
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) had a profound impact
on public education in the United States. The NCLB was an
initiative of President George W. Bush in 2002.
Spelling and Word Usage
Use Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as a default for
spelling words. The dictionary can also be used as a resource
for hyphenation, capitalization, etc.
In-Text Punctuation
1) According to the American Psychological Association (APA),
one space after terminal punctuation is considered correct for
papers submitted for a grade.
2) Use ellipses when omitting material within a quote.
3) Place a comma after the penultimate word in a series. For
8. example: Your books, ball, and bat are under the bed.
4) If a compound word is not in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary, use hyphens for clarity rather than omit them.
5) Hyphenate compound adjectives that precede the noun they
modify, except when the first word of the compound is an
adverb ending in -ly. For example: role-playing technique, two-
way analysis, middle-class families, widely used method
6) Do not hyphenate a compound adjective if its meaning is
established or it cannot be misread. For example: grade point
average, health care management
7) See page 98 of the APA Manual for further rules on
hyphenation.
Initial Capitalization
1) Capitalize all words of four or more letters in titles (books,
articles, etc.) used in text. This rule does not apply within the
References section, except for the titles of periodicals.
2) Capitalize proper nouns and names.In-Text Citations
In-text citations are used in the body of a paper to show which
sources a student used for particular material.
When you use material from a source, you need to document
that source by using a citation and reference note. All
quotations, paraphrases, and summaries must be referenced.
Using material from a source without citing that source is
considered plagiarism; please reference GCU's policy on
Plagiarism in the University Policy Handbook.
Citation Rules
1) In-text citations should note the author information, plus the
publication year.
2) For a work by one author, cite last name followed by year on
every reference. This citation can be placed at the end of the
sentence, or it can be incorporated into the grammatical
structure of the sentence.
Examples:
Researchers have concluded that food and comfortable setting
9. were more important than games available to most students
(Liu, 1999).
According to Liu (1999), researchers have concluded that food
and comfortable setting were more important than games
available to most students.
3) For a work by two authors, cite both last names followed by
year on every reference.
Examples:
(Walker & Allen, 2004)
According to Walker and Allen (2004)...
4) For a work by three to five authors, cite all last names
followed by year on first reference, and the first author's last
name followed by et al. and year upon subsequent references.
Examples:
(Bradley, Ramirez, Soo, & Walsh, 2006)
(Bradley et al., 2006)
5) For a work by six or more authors, cite last name of the first
author followed by et al. and the year on all references.
Examples:
(Wasserstein et al., 2005)
According to Wasserstein et al. (2005)…
6) If no author exists for the source, use the first few words of
the title.
Example:
Students were more concerned about having a place to socialize
with other students than about all-out competition ("Philosophy
and the Science," 2001).
7) When referencing the Bible, cite the book, chapter number,
and verse number(s) (starting and ending). The first time the
Bible is cited in the paper, also include the version used. This
system of citation for the Bible is sufficient and requires no
reference note for the Bible on the References page.
Examples:
· Citing the Bible, first reference: Use book, chapter, verse,
and version (Luke 2:16-20 King James Version).
· Citing the Bible, subsequent references: Use only book,
10. chapter, and verse (Luke 2:16-20).
8) If the material is a direct quote, the page or paragraph
number of the source should immediately follow.
Examples:
"Ethics examines moral values and the standards of ethical
behavior"
(Ornstein et al., 2008, p. 162).
Basu and Jones (2007) went so far as to suggest the need for a
new "intellectual framework in which to consider the nature and
form of regulation in cyberspace"
(para. 4).
9) Quotations with 40 or more words should be in block format.
a. Omit the encompassing quotation marks.
b. Start a block quote on a new line.
c. Indent the entire block 0.5 inches from the left margin (in the
same position as a new paragraph)
d. Additional paragraphs within a block quote should have the
first line indented an additional 0.5 inches.
e. The in-text citation for a block quote is placed outside the
final punctuation for the quote.
f. Double space.
Sample Paragraph With In-Text Citations
Liu and Berry (1999) conducted a survey of college campuses to
determine the best design for a student lounge. They concluded
that food and comfortable seating were more important than
games available to most students. Students were more
concerned about having a place to socialize with other students
than about all-out competition. In fact, they continue,
arcade games could be a turn-off for some students because they
did not want to compete with the noise to talk. These same
students said that they would prefer to have a place where they
could study and casually socialize at the same time, so seating,
lighting, and noise level were all crucial. (Liu & Berry, 1999, p.
11. 14)
This study and others (Wendell, 1978; Hartford, Herriford, &
Hampshire, 2001; Johnson et al., 2004) confirm that while
having activities is important, students are more drawn to
comfortable multi-purpose environments.
In-Text Citation ExamplesBook Reference:
Ellis, D. (2006). Becoming a master student. Boston, MA:
Houghton Mifflin Company.With a direct quote:
Ellis (2006) notes that "creative thinking is more appropriate in
the early stages of planning and problem solving" (p. 223).
Without a direct quote:
It may be more appropriate to think creatively during earlier
planning and problem-solving stages (Ellis, 2006).
APA References
The reference list should appear at the end of a paper. It
provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and
retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each
source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list;
likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your
text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the
text of the essay; label this page References (with no quotation
marks, underlining, etc.), centered at the top of the page. The
References page should be double-spaced just like the rest of
your essay.
1) All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference
list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This
is called hanging indentation.
2) Invert all authors' names; give surnames and initials for up to
and including seven authors (e.g., Author, A. A., Author B. B.,
Author, C. C.). When authors number eight or more, include the
first six authors' names, then insert three ellipses, and add the
last author's name.
Example:
Gilber, D. G., McClernon, J. F., Rabinovich, N. E., Sugai, C.,
12. Plath, L. C., Asgaard, G., … Botros, N. (2004). Effects of
quitting smoking on EEG activation and attention. Nicotine and
Tobacco Research, 6, 249-267.
doi:10.1080/14622200410001676305
3) In reference notes for journal articles, include both the
volume and issue numbers if each issue of the journal is
paginated separately (i.e., beings with page 1). If the journal
paginates continuously throughout the volume, then use only the
volume number in the reference note.
4) Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name
of the first author of each work.
5) If you have more than one article by the same author, single-
author references or multiple-author references with the exact
same authors in the exact same order are listed in order by the
year of publication, starting with the earliest.
6) When referring to any work that is NOT a journal—such as a
book, article, or Web page title—capitalize only the first letter
of the first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a
colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns. Do not capitalize
the first letter of the second word in a hyphenated compound
word.
