Here are the guidelines for completing the IFAS table.External Factors (Column 1)
· Select five strategic opportunities and five strategic threats facing your selected strategic audit company.
· List each of these factors as either opportunities or threats in the appropriate column in the IFAS table.
· Provide a detailed description of each factor.
· If outside information is used in the comments section, then it must be cited and referenced correctly in APA format. Weight (Column 2)
· The total weight for all of the factors should be 1.00.
· Decide how strategic each of the ten factors is in comparison to each other. As an example, a factor might have a high strategic significance for your company with a weight ranging from .15 to .20. On the other hand, a factor may have little in the way of strategic significance, when compared to the other nine factors, and might have a weight of .05.Rating (Column 3)
· In this column you are to rate how effective the firm has been in meeting the opportunities and threats, with 5 being the top score for any factor. As an example, if you feel a firm is doing a super job of moving into Asia then give a rating of 5.0.Weighted Score (Column 4)
· Now multiple the scores you have in Columns 2 and 3 for each factor.
· This will produce a weighted score for each factor.Comments (Column 5)
· Provide a detailed description reflecting why you gave the rating for each factor.
· If outside information is used in the comments section, then it must be cited and referenced correctly in APA format. Total Scores
· At the bottom of the matrix record the totals of the Weight Score (Column 2), and Weighted Score (Column 4).
· The Total Weighted Score should indicate how effective your firm has been in handling its opportunities and threats.

Riverbend City ® ActivityData Analytics Internship IntroductionIntroductionMentor TalkInterviewsConclusionIntroduction
Welcome to your virtual internship at the Riverbend Community Action Center (RCAC)! Located in Riverbend City, a midsized city in the Midwest, this organization provides a variety of human service functions. In your internship, you will be focused on the Ruby Lake Teen Homelessness Task Force, which is centered in the neighborhood of Ruby Lake. You will be learning about the role of data analytics in a human services setting.
Three years ago, RCAC received a seven-figure grant from the Helping Hands Foundation to help the center's work with homeless teens. Now Helping Hands would like to know what RCAC has ...
This document summarizes the results of an annual survey of account planners. Some key findings include:
- Over 1200 planners completed the survey, up from 798 last year. 53% were men and 47% were women overall, with more women responding in the US.
- The majority of respondents worked at large agencies, with a growing number at small or solo shops. Unemployment remained low at 3%.
- Digital skills were increasingly important. While many digital planners saw their role as similar to traditional planning, others took a more integrated approach.
- Career progression depended more on skills like research, presentation, and management abilities rather than fixed titles. Connection planning overlapped with media strategy but remained less

This document summarizes the results of an annual planning survey conducted between April and June 2009. Over 1,200 planners participated in the survey, up from just under 800 the previous year. Key findings include:
- 53% of participants were men and 47% were women overall, with a higher percentage of women participating from within the US.
- The majority of planners work in large agencies, though 11% of international planners work at medium-sized shops.
- Only 3% of planners reported being unemployed, faring better than average unemployment rates.
- Jon Steel and Russell Davies were most frequently cited as the most respected planning directors, though opinions varied significantly between regions.
The document discusses partnerships between annual giving and development services professionals in fundraising organizations. It emphasizes that segmentation of donors requires a team effort between the two groups. Effective segmentation relies on measuring donor data in the database and understanding how different professionals view their roles. The challenges include building trust, overcoming "silos" between the groups, and creating a centralized segmentation and touch plan that consolidates 15 previous annual giving programs.
This slideshare explains why nonprofit organizations should evaluate their programs. Beyond documenting program outcomes, it argues that program evaluation can and should be a key component of program improvement.

Pam Morris is a software development expert who has worked in software measurement and function point analysis for decades. She discusses some of the root causes of high software project failure rates, including poor requirements specifications, inadequate scoping, and lack of progress measurement. She emphasizes that software process improvement is important but must be done properly, with a focus on measurement to identify weaknesses and demonstrate improvement. Her firm helps clients implement measurement programs to analyze their current performance and identify areas for process improvement. She notes that cultural and technical challenges in data gathering can be overcome by starting small and incrementally expanding measurement efforts.

The document proposes a tracking and reporting database to evaluate the effectiveness of a social program that places candidates in jobs. It outlines six key questions to be answered, such as how candidates progress in the workplace and what factors contribute to long-term employment. Multiple stages of the proposed process are described, including gathering primary inputs from employers and agencies. Sample tables, forms and metrics are provided that would be tracked over time, such as hiring rates, wage increases, and employer satisfaction. Considerations are discussed around defining terms, validating metrics, and precisely tracking and aggregating data.

The document discusses the Digital & Social Media Leadership Forum, which aims to encourage leading organizations to meet and share insights to help understand risks and opportunities related to digital transformation. It believes the collective insights of member organizations will help provide smarter solutions. Members can engage with thought leaders and startups to understand emerging developments and help lead their organizations forward. The forum is based on a model of cooperative intelligence, and sessions are hosted and shaped by members.
Storytelling with Data (Global Engagement Summit at Northwestern University 2...Sara Hooker
The document provides guidance on effective storytelling with data in 3 key areas: answering important questions early, focusing on good data collection, and understanding your audience. It emphasizes answering why the audience should care, why you are best positioned to address the problem, and what the desired outcome is. Good data collection requires defining core metrics and sustainability. Understanding your audience involves considering their relationship to you and how to communicate to them. The document encourages borrowing from other effective examples and focusing on telling a compelling story with data rather than just presenting charts.
The document contains various suggestions from different individuals for questions to include in next year's planning survey. Suggestions include questions about budget responsibilities, work-life balance, career progression, agency structures, and industry trends. Several respondents say they enjoy the survey and find the results valuable.
Pam Morris is interviewed about her background in software measurement and process improvement. She discusses some of the root causes of high software project failure rates, including poor requirements specifications and inadequate scoping. She emphasizes that software process improvement is about rigor and measurement, not just "checking boxes". Measurement programs are most effective when they start small and focus on key metrics that support management's goals and decision-making. The role of management is also important to drive measurement from the top down.
1) The document provides tips for an MC team to avoid common mistakes made during the planning process, including failing to properly define roles and responsibilities, develop accurate budgets, involve key stakeholders, and plan for implementation.
2) It emphasizes the importance of setting clear milestones, defining metrics to track project progress, focusing strategies, and creating an execution plan to align activities with goals.
3) The tips recommend involving LCPs and NSTs in planning, creating an incentive system to drive the strategy, and planning changes to the organizational culture needed to successfully implement plans.

In order to achieve this objective, the following supporting topics will be covered:
Strategic alliances;
Cooperative strategies; and
Competitive risks.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic AlliancesCooperative strategyStrategic allianceCombination of resources and capabilitiesExchange and sharing of resourcesFirms leverage existing resourcesCornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy
Recognized as a viable engine of firm growth, cooperative strategy is a strategy in which firms work together to achieve a shared objective. Thus, cooperating with other firms is another strategy firms use to create value for a customer that exceeds the cost of providing that value and to establish a favorable position relative to competition.
A strategic alliance is a cooperative strategy in which firms combine some of their resources and capabilities to create a competitive advantage. Thus, strategic alliances involve firms with some degree of exchange and sharing of resources and capabilities to co-develop, sell, and service goods or services. Strategic alliances allow firms to leverage their existing resources and capabilities while working with partners to develop additional resources and capabilities as the foundation for new competitive advantages. To be certain, the reality today is that strategic alliances have become a cornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic Alliances, continuedJoint ventureEquity strategic allianceNonequity strategic alliance
The three major types of strategic alliances include joint venture, equity strategic alliance, and nonequity strategic alliance.
A joint venture is a strategic alliance in which two or more firms create a legally independent company to share some of their resources and capabilities to develop a competitive advantage. Joint ventures, which are often formed to improve firms’ abilities to compete in uncertain competitive environments, are effective in establishing long-term relationships and in transferring tacit knowledge. Because it can’t be codified, tacit, or implied, knowledge is learned through experiences such as those taking place when people from partner firms work together in a join.

Serial KillersFor this assignment you will review a serial kille.docxWilheminaRossi174
Serial Killers
For this assignment you will review a serial killer's case in depth. The killer you choose to review will also be the subject of your Week 5 final assignment, so keep your research material handy.
First, choose
one
of the following serial killers:
David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") taunted police over a year and shot 15 people (6 died) in New York City. The movie "Summer of Sam" was about this time.
Gary Ridgway (the "Green River Killer") holds the American record for most victims. He confessed to killing 48 over a 16-year period but is suspected of having killed many more!
Wayne B. Williams is believed to be the killer of 24 children and young men in Atlanta, though there is still some doubt.
John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were the "DC snipers" who shot 13 people (ten died) over three weeks in the Washington DC area in 2002.
Ted Bundy: Confessed to almost 30 murders (there may have been more). He was known for being smart and good-looking, and acted as his own lawyer.
Jeffrey Dahmer: His case captured worldwide attention after his capture, mostly due to his habit of keeping parts of his victims long after their deaths, as well as cannibalism and necrophilia.
Kristen Gilbert: An example of a female serial killer, she was a nurse who killed hospital patients in her care.
For this assignment, create a report in Microsoft Word that covers the following points:
Summarize the case: time period, location, number of victims, etc.
Describe the killer's background, methods, and area of operation.
How did the killer select his or her victims? Was there anything that the victims did to provoke the killer?
By analyzing all of the above information, you should now be able to propose a
three-part typology
and explain your analysis. Your typology should describe the killer's
motivation, location, and organized or disorganized factors. For instance, John Wayne Gacy might be described as a
Power/Control, local, organized killer.

SESSION 1Michael Delarosa, Department ManagerWhat sugg.docxWilheminaRossi174
SESSION 1
Michael Delarosa, Department Manager
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Make sure there are opportunities for hands on problem solving. Too much of our training is theory
and supervisors need to be focused on the real-world problems that come up.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
I'd say that a lot of the challenges we see relate to the diversity on the line. There are a lot of different
types of people working at CapraTek and they don't always play well together.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Well… the first thing that comes to mind is the ability to find information. Whether it's technical
information or answers for the people who report to you. Another key ability though is the ability to
acquire technical expertise. No one comes in knowing it all, but the ability to gain necessary
knowledge is very important.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
A solid understanding of the job itself. Supervisors provide a lot of training to new employees, so they
need to know our systems and processes inside and out.
Should training be conducted face to face, online, or a combination of both?
I'd say a combination. There are some topics that don't really need a classroom experience, but
others where the face-to-face interaction provides as much as the actual training materials. If it had to
be one or the other, I'd definitely say face to face.
Leland Butler, Shift Supervisor
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Don't think you can cover this stuff once and be done with it. I went through supervisor training when I
was promoted, but I've gotta admit, I don't remember much of it. That kind of stuff doesn't always
stick unless you're doing it. Having an opportunity to be in the job and then get training on what you're
actually dealing with is better than sitting in a training room listening to someone talk about theories
and policies.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
Well… like I said, being able to apply the leadership and supervisory ideas in realistic situations. I'm a
hands-on kind of person and it's always better if I can do something, so maybe like getting training on
performance reviews or some of the paperwork we're all dealing with. That would be helpful.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Communication and flexibility. Hands down. You need to be able to shift gears decisively and
communicate with your team.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
He or she needs to know what the role of their team is to the division. How it all fits together. A good
supervisor needs to be able to communicate to the people who report to him what's going on and why
things are the way they are. So, he's got to be in .

ANALYSIS PROCEDURES IN SCHOOL
SETTINGS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Janet Ellis* and Sandy Magee
University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA
This review describes applied behavioral research involving functional analyses conducted in public
school settings. Functional analyses in public school settings often require added conditions. The
modified conditions described herein include changes to experimental designs, antecedent changes that
include task variation, tasks included, idiosyncratic variables, physiological conditions, and modified
escape conditions. Finally, consequent modifications cover peer attention, tangibles, varied attention,
and altered escape. Copyright # 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
INTRODUCTION
The primary body of functional analysis (FA) literature has historically focused on
persons with developmental disabilities in institutional/residential settings who
engaged in severe self-injurious behavior (SIB). Mace and Lalli (1991) noted that
interventions based on FAs conducted in experimental settings under highly
controlled analog conditions may be effective only to the extent that those analog
conditions match the subject’s natural environment. Johnston (1993) recommended
that, once a procedure has been experimentally developed, its value and applicability
should be assessed under practical/natural conditions. Further, passage of Public Law
105-17, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), in 1997 mandated that a
‘functional behavioral assessment’ be conducted on students who exhibit significant
behavior and adjustment problems. For at least these reasons, FA research has moved
beyond the tightly controlled laboratory setting and into more natural environments
involving more diverse populations. Development of behavioral assessments of
problem behavior in school settings had empirical roots—for example, 36 years ago
Thomas, Becker, and Armstrong (1968) noted that classroom teacher’s disapproval
increased rates of student’s disruptive behavior. These assessments allowed effective

The document proposes a tracking and reporting database to evaluate the effectiveness of a social program that places candidates in jobs. It outlines six key questions to be answered, such as how candidates progress in the workplace and what factors contribute to long-term employment. Multiple stages of the proposed process are described, including gathering primary inputs from employers and agencies. Sample tables, forms and metrics are provided that would be tracked over time, such as hiring rates, wage increases, and employer satisfaction. Considerations are discussed around defining terms, validating metrics, and precisely tracking and aggregating data.

Storytelling with Data (Global Engagement Summit at Northwestern University 2...Sara Hooker
The document provides guidance on effective storytelling with data in 3 key areas: answering important questions early, focusing on good data collection, and understanding your audience. It emphasizes answering why the audience should care, why you are best positioned to address the problem, and what the desired outcome is. Good data collection requires defining core metrics and sustainability. Understanding your audience involves considering their relationship to you and how to communicate to them. The document encourages borrowing from other effective examples and focusing on telling a compelling story with data rather than just presenting charts.
The document contains various suggestions from different individuals for questions to include in next year's planning survey. Suggestions include questions about budget responsibilities, work-life balance, career progression, agency structures, and industry trends. Several respondents say they enjoy the survey and find the results valuable.
Pam Morris is interviewed about her background in software measurement and process improvement. She discusses some of the root causes of high software project failure rates, including poor requirements specifications and inadequate scoping. She emphasizes that software process improvement is about rigor and measurement, not just "checking boxes". Measurement programs are most effective when they start small and focus on key metrics that support management's goals and decision-making. The role of management is also important to drive measurement from the top down.
1) The document provides tips for an MC team to avoid common mistakes made during the planning process, including failing to properly define roles and responsibilities, develop accurate budgets, involve key stakeholders, and plan for implementation.
2) It emphasizes the importance of setting clear milestones, defining metrics to track project progress, focusing strategies, and creating an execution plan to align activities with goals.
3) The tips recommend involving LCPs and NSTs in planning, creating an incentive system to drive the strategy, and planning changes to the organizational culture needed to successfully implement plans.

In order to achieve this objective, the following supporting topics will be covered:
Strategic alliances;
Cooperative strategies; and
Competitive risks.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic AlliancesCooperative strategyStrategic allianceCombination of resources and capabilitiesExchange and sharing of resourcesFirms leverage existing resourcesCornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy
Recognized as a viable engine of firm growth, cooperative strategy is a strategy in which firms work together to achieve a shared objective. Thus, cooperating with other firms is another strategy firms use to create value for a customer that exceeds the cost of providing that value and to establish a favorable position relative to competition.
A strategic alliance is a cooperative strategy in which firms combine some of their resources and capabilities to create a competitive advantage. Thus, strategic alliances involve firms with some degree of exchange and sharing of resources and capabilities to co-develop, sell, and service goods or services. Strategic alliances allow firms to leverage their existing resources and capabilities while working with partners to develop additional resources and capabilities as the foundation for new competitive advantages. To be certain, the reality today is that strategic alliances have become a cornerstone of many firms’ competitive strategy.
Please go to the next slide.
Strategic Alliances, continuedJoint ventureEquity strategic allianceNonequity strategic alliance
The three major types of strategic alliances include joint venture, equity strategic alliance, and nonequity strategic alliance.
A joint venture is a strategic alliance in which two or more firms create a legally independent company to share some of their resources and capabilities to develop a competitive advantage. Joint ventures, which are often formed to improve firms’ abilities to compete in uncertain competitive environments, are effective in establishing long-term relationships and in transferring tacit knowledge. Because it can’t be codified, tacit, or implied, knowledge is learned through experiences such as those taking place when people from partner firms work together in a join.

Serial KillersFor this assignment you will review a serial kille.docxWilheminaRossi174
Serial Killers
For this assignment you will review a serial killer's case in depth. The killer you choose to review will also be the subject of your Week 5 final assignment, so keep your research material handy.
First, choose
one
of the following serial killers:
David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") taunted police over a year and shot 15 people (6 died) in New York City. The movie "Summer of Sam" was about this time.
Gary Ridgway (the "Green River Killer") holds the American record for most victims. He confessed to killing 48 over a 16-year period but is suspected of having killed many more!
Wayne B. Williams is believed to be the killer of 24 children and young men in Atlanta, though there is still some doubt.
John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were the "DC snipers" who shot 13 people (ten died) over three weeks in the Washington DC area in 2002.
Ted Bundy: Confessed to almost 30 murders (there may have been more). He was known for being smart and good-looking, and acted as his own lawyer.
Jeffrey Dahmer: His case captured worldwide attention after his capture, mostly due to his habit of keeping parts of his victims long after their deaths, as well as cannibalism and necrophilia.
Kristen Gilbert: An example of a female serial killer, she was a nurse who killed hospital patients in her care.
For this assignment, create a report in Microsoft Word that covers the following points:
Summarize the case: time period, location, number of victims, etc.
Describe the killer's background, methods, and area of operation.
How did the killer select his or her victims? Was there anything that the victims did to provoke the killer?
By analyzing all of the above information, you should now be able to propose a
three-part typology
and explain your analysis. Your typology should describe the killer's
motivation, location, and organized or disorganized factors. For instance, John Wayne Gacy might be described as a
Power/Control, local, organized killer.

SESSION 1Michael Delarosa, Department ManagerWhat sugg.docxWilheminaRossi174
SESSION 1
Michael Delarosa, Department Manager
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Make sure there are opportunities for hands on problem solving. Too much of our training is theory
and supervisors need to be focused on the real-world problems that come up.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
I'd say that a lot of the challenges we see relate to the diversity on the line. There are a lot of different
types of people working at CapraTek and they don't always play well together.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Well… the first thing that comes to mind is the ability to find information. Whether it's technical
information or answers for the people who report to you. Another key ability though is the ability to
acquire technical expertise. No one comes in knowing it all, but the ability to gain necessary
knowledge is very important.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
A solid understanding of the job itself. Supervisors provide a lot of training to new employees, so they
need to know our systems and processes inside and out.
Should training be conducted face to face, online, or a combination of both?
I'd say a combination. There are some topics that don't really need a classroom experience, but
others where the face-to-face interaction provides as much as the actual training materials. If it had to
be one or the other, I'd definitely say face to face.
Leland Butler, Shift Supervisor
What suggestions do you have for improvement in regards to training new supervisors?
Don't think you can cover this stuff once and be done with it. I went through supervisor training when I
was promoted, but I've gotta admit, I don't remember much of it. That kind of stuff doesn't always
stick unless you're doing it. Having an opportunity to be in the job and then get training on what you're
actually dealing with is better than sitting in a training room listening to someone talk about theories
and policies.
What challenges do supervisors in our plants encounter that training would help them resolve?
Well… like I said, being able to apply the leadership and supervisory ideas in realistic situations. I'm a
hands-on kind of person and it's always better if I can do something, so maybe like getting training on
performance reviews or some of the paperwork we're all dealing with. That would be helpful.
What are the most important abilities for supervisors in our plants?
Communication and flexibility. Hands down. You need to be able to shift gears decisively and
communicate with your team.
What knowledge does a new supervisor need?
He or she needs to know what the role of their team is to the division. How it all fits together. A good
supervisor needs to be able to communicate to the people who report to him what's going on and why
things are the way they are. So, he's got to be in .

MODIFICATIONS TOBASIC FUNCTIONAL
ANALYSIS PROCEDURES IN SCHOOL
SETTINGS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Janet Ellis* and Sandy Magee
University of North Texas, Denton, TX, USA
This review describes applied behavioral research involving functional analyses conducted in public
school settings. Functional analyses in public school settings often require added conditions. The
modified conditions described herein include changes to experimental designs, antecedent changes that
include task variation, tasks included, idiosyncratic variables, physiological conditions, and modified
escape conditions. Finally, consequent modifications cover peer attention, tangibles, varied attention,
and altered escape. Copyright # 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
INTRODUCTION
The primary body of functional analysis (FA) literature has historically focused on
persons with developmental disabilities in institutional/residential settings who
engaged in severe self-injurious behavior (SIB). Mace and Lalli (1991) noted that
interventions based on FAs conducted in experimental settings under highly
controlled analog conditions may be effective only to the extent that those analog
conditions match the subject’s natural environment. Johnston (1993) recommended
that, once a procedure has been experimentally developed, its value and applicability
should be assessed under practical/natural conditions. Further, passage of Public Law
105-17, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), in 1997 mandated that a
‘functional behavioral assessment’ be conducted on students who exhibit significant
behavior and adjustment problems. For at least these reasons, FA research has moved
beyond the tightly controlled laboratory setting and into more natural environments
involving more diverse populations. Development of behavioral assessments of
problem behavior in school settings had empirical roots—for example, 36 years ago
Thomas, Becker, and Armstrong (1968) noted that classroom teacher’s disapproval
increased rates of student’s disruptive behavior. These assessments allowed effective

Shared Reading Framework
Follow this framework when viewing the video lessons for Days 1,2, & 3 from Ms. Chan’s class. Compare and contrast Ms. Chan’s teaching to what is listed on this page.
(Whole)
Read aloud a shared or big book to the students. Label each step and clearly state how you will accomplish this.
·
Introduce the book: Explain what you will say to the students to introduce the book to them, if you choose to point out concepts of book, concepts of print, predicting, etc.
·
Picture Walk: Explain what you will do to provide a Picture Walk for the students, telling all that you will say to the students.
·
Read the book aloud: Explain how you will read the book aloud to the students, will you stop, on what pages, what will you say.
·
Students’ Responses: Develop a set of both literal and higher-order thinking questions to elicit student responses, use Bloom’s or Webb’s as a guide to questions.
(PART)
Direct Instruction (Name the reading skill and explain what it means)
· Explain:
(I do) Explain to the students what they will be learning and why they should learn it. Explain the skill they will be learning and explain “how it works” Summarize the skill in your own words. Teacher tells students everything you want them to learn
(objectives).
· Demonstrate
: (I do) Show the students what you would like them to do. Demonstrate to them what they will be doing to help them learn the skill. You must explain what you will do to demonstrate the skill you will be teaching. PROVIDE EXAMPLES and link to your explain step.
· Guide:
(We do, more teacher responsibility, some student responsibility) Guide the students to discuss and/or attempt the skill you just demonstrated. Explain how you will guide the students to allow them opportunities to try to apply the skill. Give support and feedback. Teacher brings students into discussion about objective and gives guidance and feedback
. (Feedback must be accurate, positive and encouraging, but also firm.)
· Practice:
(We do, more student responsibility) Explain specifically how you will guide the students to practice applying the skill by allowing them to work together with less teacher support but still feedback.
(WHOLE)
· Application:
(You do) (Read the book again and this time ask the students to apply what they learned about the reading skill to the book you are rereading.) Explain what you will have the students do to apply the skill to the text. The students should demonstrate that they can meet objective in this step.
· Students Reflect:
(You do) Develop a set of 6 – 8 questions you would ask the students to reflect on what they learned about the reading skill and what they learned from the book you read to them. This is a good time to ask questions that would meet.
Self-disclosureDepth of reflectionResponse demonstrates an in.docxWilheminaRossi174
Self-disclosure/Depth of reflection

Seemingly riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2, the alarming sp.docxWilheminaRossi174
Seemingly riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2, the alarming spread of monkeypox across western Europe and the United States has filled the news cycle through the summer of 2022. Monkeypox is an orthopoxvirus, similar in presentation to smallpox and chickenpox (Varicella zoster). In contrast to the related poxviruses, monkeypox has been reported to spread by sexual contact and direct skin-to-skin contact, as well as through the traditional respiratory droplet route. While there is currently no effective treatment for infected individuals, two vaccines with good efficacy are available to help stem the spread of the disease. Likewise, individuals that have been vaccinated against smallpox with vaccinia virus have some protection against contracting monkeypox. While changes in sexual behavior among vulnerable populations has so far limited the outbreak, the disease is still spreading throughout the country and has caused a handful of deaths.
What is the life cycle of monkeypox, and how exactly is it spread? What does the fact that vaccination against smallpox provides some protection against monkeypox indicate about this virus? Also, what does the spread of monkeypox reveal about the susceptibility of the population to smallpox, a disease that has been considered eradicated worldwide since the late 1980s?

Vision statement
Students will “Own Their learning”
Strategies that embed the mission and vision
It is possible for a school to convey its ethos, mission, goals, and values to its students, staff, and parents in a variety of different methods. A school's prospectus or handbook should present information in a way that is clear and easy to comprehend, taking into account the diverse ethnic group in the area and maybe translating the text into many languages. The website of the school is the spot that makes the most sense to transmit any sort of information regarding the institution as a whole, including its ethos and so on. The internet is the first place that people search for information in this day and age since it can be accessed from anywhere in the world and every school now has its own personal website. Again, in order to experience the true environment of the school, it is necessary to combine this mode of communication with a trip to the location itself.

Strategy 1
Communication
Repetitive communication of the mission and vision ensures it is embedded (Jensen et al., 2018)
Communications will target all stakeholders
Technology tools will be used to facilitate communication to all stakeholders
Strategies that embed the mission and vision cont…
A well-defined statement that provides an explanation of the line of work that an individual plans to pursue over the entirety of his career is an example of a career objective. It is essential for each and every student to articulate their aspirations for their future careers. They are able to devise more efficient action plans as a result of this.

Strategy 2
Helping students establish career goals
Students will be encouraged to work hard to actualize the goals
Successful careers enable students to become productive members of the society (Şenol & Lesinger, 2018)

Finding and employing the appropriate faculty members is possibly the single most significant factor that will determine the institution's long-term success. Even though conducting interviews and making hires is seen by many as an art form, there are tried-and-true strategies that the school may employ to boost its chances of finding the proper people to work there. These approaches are suppo.

Segmented Assimilation Theory and theLife Model An Integrat.docxWilheminaRossi174
Segmented Assimilation Theory and the
Life Model: An Integrated Approach to
Understanding Immigrants and Their Children
Lissette M. Piedra and David W Engstrom
The life model offers social workers a promising framework to use in assisting immigrant
families. However, the complexities of adaptation to a new country may make it difficult
for social workers to operate from a purely ecological approach. The authors use segmented
assimilation theory to better account for the specificities of the immigrant experience. They
argue that by adding concepts from segmented assimilation theory to the life model, social
workers can better understand the environmental Stressors that increase the vulnerabilities
of immigrants to the potentially harsh experience of adapting to a new country. With these
concepts, social workers who work with immigrant families will be better positioned to
achieve their central goal: enhancing person and environment fit.
KEY WORDS: acculturation; assimilation; immigrants; life model; second generation
Nearly a century ago,Jane Addams (1910)
observed that immigrants needed help
integrating their European and American
experiences to give them meaning and a sense of
relation:
Power to see life as a whole is more needed in
the immigrant quarter of the city than anywhere
else Why should the chasm between fathers
and sons, yawning at the feet of each generation,
be made so unnecessarily cruel and impassable
to these bewildered immigrants? (p. 172)
The inability of some immigrant families to
integrate the cultural capital from the world left
behind with the demands of the new society creates
a gulf of experience between immigrants and their
children that can undermine the parental relation-
ship. Today, the issue of family cohesion in the face
of acculturative Stressors remains central to the im-
migrant experience and creates a sense of urgency
because it is so linked with the success of the second
generation. The size of the immigrant population
and the role their children \vill play in future labor
markets (Morales & Bonilla, 1993; Sullivan, 2006)
moves the problem from the realm of the person
to the status of a larger public concern.
Immigrant families are rapidly becoming the
"typical" American family. More than one in seven
families in the United States is headed by a foreign-
born adult. Children of immigrant parents are the
fastest growing segment of the nation's child popula-
tion (Capps, Fix, Ost, Reardon-Anderson, & Passel,
2004).The U.S. Census Bureau (2003) reported that
slightly more than 14 million children (approxi-
mately one in five) live in immigrant families; the
percentage is even higher (22 percent) for children
under the age of six (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001).
At a structural level, these changing demographics
create large-scale and long-range effects that bear
on many social services and many issues of social
pohcy (Sullivan, 2006). Specifically, the population
growth of native-born children in nonwhite.

School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence.docxWilheminaRossi174
School Effects on Psychological Outcomes During Adolescence
Eric M. Anderman
University of Kentucky
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were used to examine school-level
differences in the relations between school belonging and various outcomes. In Study 1, predictors of
belonging were examined. Results indicated that belonging was lower in urban schools than in suburban
schools, and lower in schools that used busing practices than those that did not. In Study 2, the relations
between belonging and psychological outcomes were examined. The relations varied depending on the
unit of analysis (individual vs. aggregated measures of belonging). Whereas individual students’
perceptions of belonging were inversely related to depression, social rejection, and school problems,
aggregated belonging was related to greater reports of social rejection and school problems and to higher
grade point average.
Research on school-level differences during adolescence often
has focused on nonpsychological outcomes, such as academic
achievement and behavioral issues, instead of on psychological
outcomes (Roeser, 1998). Indeed, research on school-level differ-
ences in nonacademic variables is quite rare. The purpose of the
present research was to examine school-level differences in a
variety of psychological outcomes, using a large nationally repre-
sentative sample of adolescents.
School Effects on Student Outcomes
Although there is an abundant literature on effective schools,
most of the research in this literature has focused on academic
variables, such as achievement, dropping out, and grade point
average (GPA; e.g., Edmonds, 1979; Miller, 1985; Murphy, Weil,
Hallinger, & Mitman, 1985). This literature generally indicates
that schools that are academically effective have certain recogniz-
able characteristics.
Some of these studies have examined differences between pub-
lic schools and other types of schools. For example, some research
indicates that students who attend public schools achieve more
academically than do students who attend other types of schools
(e.g., Coleman & Hoffer, 1987). Other research suggests that there
may be a benefit in terms of academic achievement for students
who attend Catholic schools compared with non-Catholic schools
(Bryk, Lee, & Holland, 1993). Lee and her colleagues (Lee,
Chow-Hoy, Burkam, Geverdt, & Smerdon, 1998) found that stu-
dents who attended private schools took more advanced math
courses than did students who attended public schools. However,
they also found specific benefits for Catholic schools: Specifically,
in Catholic schools, there was greater school influence on the
courses that students took, and the social distribution of course
enrollment was found to be particularly equitable.
In recent years, psychologists have started to become interested
in the effects of schooling on mental health outcomes (e.g., Boe-
kaerts, 1993; Cowen, 1991; Roeser, Eccles, & Strobel, 1998;
Rutter,.

Here are the guidelines for completing the IFAS table.External
Factors (Column 1)
· Select five strategic opportunities and five strategic threats
facing your selected strategic audit company.
· List each of these factors as either opportunities or threats in
the appropriate column in the IFAS table.
· Provide a detailed description of each factor.
· If outside information is used in the comments section, then it
must be cited and referenced correctly in APA format. Weight
(Column 2)
· The total weight for all of the factors should be 1.00.
· Decide how strategic each of the ten factors is in comparison
to each other. As an example, a factor might have a high
strategic significance for your company with a weight ranging
from .15 to .20. On the other hand, a factor may have little in
the way of strategic significance, when compared to the other
nine factors, and might have a weight of .05.Rating (Column 3)
· In this column you are to rate how effective the firm has been
in meeting the opportunities and threats, with 5 being the top
score for any factor. As an example, if you feel a firm is doing a
super job of moving into Asia then give a rating of
5.0.Weighted Score (Column 4)
· Now multiple the scores you have in Columns 2 and 3 for each
factor.
2. · This will produce a weighted score for each factor.Comments
(Column 5)
· Provide a detailed description reflecting why you gave the
rating for each factor.
· If outside information is used in the comments section, then it
must be cited and referenced correctly in APA format. Total
Scores
· At the bottom of the matrix record the totals of the Weight
Score (Column 2), and Weighted Score (Column 4).
· The Total Weighted Score should indicate how effective your
firm has been in handling its opportunities and threats.

Riverbend City ® ActivityData Analytics Internship
IntroductionIntroductionMentor
TalkInterviewsConclusionIntroduction
Welcome to your virtual internship at the Riverbend Community
Action Center (RCAC)! Located in Riverbend City, a midsized
city in the Midwest, this organization provides a variety of
human service functions. In your internship, you will be focused
on the Ruby Lake Teen Homelessness Task Force, which is
centered in the neighborhood of Ruby Lake. You will be
learning about the role of data analytics in a human services
setting.
Three years ago, RCAC received a seven-figure grant from the
Helping Hands Foundation to help the center's work with
homeless teens. Now Helping Hands would like to know what
RCAC has done, and if their programs have been effective.
Your focus will be on understanding how analytics could be
applied to evaluate these programs and make the case for their
effectiveness.Mentor Talk
3. Riverbend City Community Action Center: Mentor's Office
Check in with your CAC Mentor, Brenda.
Hi! And welcome to RCAC! I'm really looking forward to
working with you and helping dig into the landscape of data
analytics in the human services.
Like your acceptance letter said, the specific thing I'd like you
to look at while you're here is an analytics-based evaluation of
the effectiveness of our grant-funded work on teen
homelessness in the Ruby Lake neighborhood. Well, that's all
well and good, but what does that really mean? Let's jump in
and talk about the data analytics process itself.
To do that, we’re going to focus on the first step of the
lifecycle.
There are a variety of ways to visualize the data analytics
lifecycle. Some models will have more steps than others… some
will parse those steps in slightly different ways. That said, there
is some commonality in terms of basic stages or steps. For our
purposes, let’s work with the model SAS uses.
The first stage of the data analytics lifecycle addresses
understanding the problem. Some models will call this the
discovery phase, others may talk about identification or
understanding the problem. The important thing to remember is
that this is the point where you are going to identify the
business problem and ask the questions that will help you
analyze the business problem. You might think of it as
narrowing the gap between yourself as a data analyst and the
business owner.
The business owner may not be describing the problem in ways
that make it clear what you’re trying to measure in your
analysis, so a significant part of the first stage of the lifecycle
may be identifying what data to look at. Later stages will center
on acquiring the data, cleaning it, building models and so forth,
but at this initial stage, the goal is to acquire as much clarity as
possible in understanding the core business problem.
OK! That's the lifecycle in a nutshell. Next, I'd like you to hit
the ground running on understanding the problem. I'd like you
4. to go talk to some of the internal stakeholders to help you get a
well-rounded view of exactly what we're trying to do here. I've
arranged for you to talk to Richard Agin, our CEO; Eduardo
Alvarez, the director of our Homeless Teen program; and
Heather Adams, one of our case managers in the program. That
way, you should get a good diversity of perspectives and
concerns that will help you really identify the questions being
asked.The Analytics LifecycleInterviews
Riverbend City Community Action Center Offices
Talk to some RCAC staffers to get their perspectives on what
kind of questions you should be trying to answer with
data.Richard AginCEO of Community Action Center
Thank you for asking! I'm excited to see this question being
taken seriously.
I'll tell you one thing: more than anything else, I want to
emphasize process. Since this program is essentially my little
kingdom, I often find myself in direct contact with donors,
granting agencies, and accrediting bodies. And I hate having to
answer their questions about how things are going with vague,
anecdotal evidence. I can see their eyes roll, and shudder when I
think of what this is doing to our long-term relationships. So if
you're here to bring some rigor to the question of evaluating
how we're doing, you're making my life a lot easier no matter
what you find. For my sake, I'm begging you: Please be
thorough with everything, please be clear, and please docume nt
everything you do, so that I can leverage these results to
convince people to give us more money for future activities.
OK, that said, if you're looking for the things you need to be
tracking, I'm happy to give you my perspective. As much as I
like to focus on individual success stories, in my role as CEO I
have to focus on big-picture elements. So: How much funding
did we direct towards this program? How much of it was from
dedicated grants and how much from unrestricted funds? What
were our cost centers in executing the program? How much staff
time and energy was devoted to this program, that could have
5. been devoted to other things? Same question in terms of our
non-staff resources—what did we allocate here?
You get that stuff and you have one side of the ledger…then we
have to figure out what our specific concerns are evaluating
benefits. The number of teens that have been involved with the
program seems like a good place to start. Maybe as a baseline,
the overall number of teens in the region who'd be eligible to be
helped by the program, so that we can see what percentage of
the populace we're targeting. Also worth looking at cost and
resource allocation per participant — how efficient are we
being? We've been doing this for a while now, so it's good to
look at year-to-year figures, see if we're getting better both in
terms of absolute numbers and efficiency. What else? If
possible, I'd love to have data from other orgs that are doing the
same kind of work, so that we can compare our effectiveness to
theirs. Oh, and I'd like to have longer-term data about what
happens to participants after they leave the program, so that we
can see if we're solving things or just applying a band-aid. How
are our participants doing after six months? After a year? And
so on.
I'm sure I could come up with more, but that's what comes to
mind first. Thanks again for asking me about this, and I'm really
looking forward to seeing what you come up with.Eduardo
AlvarezHomeless Teen Program Director
So, OK. We're looking for ways to use analytics to evaluate the
teen homelessness program? I need a moment to switch my
brain out of day-to-day mode and into long-term-thinking mode.
Which, now that I think about it, is a good thing for you to keep
in mind as you're working on this. We have this tactical day-to-
day reality of "how can I help Jenny, the 15-year-old who’s
currently sleeping under an overpass, find a place to stay with
some permanence?" And your project is to help us look at the
big picture so that we can tell how well we're doing in our
endless series of day-to-day realities.
All right. Sorry for the philosophy there. One thing I'd like to
have a handle on with analytics is what the circumstances are
6. for clients on intake, so that we can correlate that with success
rates. Like, are we more likely to be able to help kids who have
been living on their friends' couches than the kids who have
been sleeping out of doors? Is there a substantial, consistent
difference in how much staff time needs to be devoted,
depending on what the person's intake status was? Is there a
difference in how stable we can help them become? As far as
that goes, what *is* the range of possible living statuses that
kids enter the program with? We don't really know in any
systematic way.
As a program director, I'd also be interested in data on which of
my case workers are particularly effective — I guess for that to
work, we'd need to find a way to quantify effectiveness, of
course. Some tangle of time spent per case versus placement
rate for client versus stability of outcome, I'm not sure. But if
we had an answer for that, we could look at the most effective
case workers and see what it is they're doing right. And from
there, maybe try to work up some best practices that we could
share with case workers who aren't as effective. Lots of pitfalls
and cans of worms working that way, of course, but I think it
could be really helpful if we did it intelligently and
carefully.Heather AdamsCase Manager, Homeless Teen Program
It's hard for me to think about my job in terms of analytics.
Because to me that just means cold data, and this job is all
about people and their stories. But I've heard people talk about
how data tells stories of its own, so I guess that's the way I need
to look at this.
So, if I try to think about things I'd like to know about…I guess
I'd like it if we could try to figure out what individual things are
important about the teens we work with, in terms of making a
difference in how they wind up in the program and how able we
are to help them. Does that make sense? Like, the question I'm
trying to answer is "what do these teens have in common or not
in common, and how does that affect them?"
We gather a lot of basic information now that we don’t do
enough with: name, age, DOB, last permanent address, stuff like
7. that, but also a lot of detailed background information that goes
deeper into their family situation before they came into the
program. But then the data just sits there and we don’t do
anything with it, don’t use it to dig into the bigger questions.
Like, what if we looked at the data and saw that, say, Latino
kids with divorced parents are more likely come into the
program. I could see that being useful for us in the day-to-day
working of the program, and it seems like that would turn
around and help you figure out how effective the program as a
whole was for different populations. I think.
On the other hand, I can see some privacy risks there, if we're
gathering and storing that much information. And as case
managers, we'd need to be very careful not to be intrusive or
cold or off-putting as we gathered that information. But these
seem like solvable problems to me.Conclusion

It appears that Ford has drastically reduced its debt and pension
obligations in recent years, enabling the
company to attain investment-grade ratings from credit rating
agencies. Ford's automotive debt has
declined to $13.8 billion at the end of 2014, and it will decline
to $10 billion by 2018. Also, Ford's pension
plan was underfunded by a staggering $18.7 billion at the end of
2014, but was halved to $9 billion at the
end of 2016.
The company's continuing operations are more profitable than
those of many other companies in its
industry, resulting in an Operating Margin that is above its
industry average.
It's becoming increasingly important for automakers to have a
successful global luxury brand to help
increase average transaction prices and profit margins. Ford' s
luxury Lincoln brand has struggled for
years, and a full turnaround is probably a decade away. Lincoln
sales have been cut roughly in half, from
around 190,000 units in the U.S. in 2000 to fewer than 90,000
units annually over the last five years.
Overseas, Ford, much like many automakers, is having a rough
time in Europe and South America. Ford
lost a total of $4.3 billion in Europe operations. Management
expects to lose less in Europe this year than
in 2014, and to break even in 2016. Meanwhile, South America
16. went from a $33 million loss in 2013 to a
whopping $1.1 billion loss last year. Both regions will continue
to drag on earnings in the near term.
Ford is subject to threats that affect all automakers, including a
decline in industry sales volume in the
event of a recession, potential market shift from more profitable
vehicles to smaller and cheaper vehicles,
and increased price competition which reduces profitability.

Success of any company is highly dependent on their ability to

relatively well to attract technical workforce from across the
globe and created an environment to nurture and foster that
talent to new heights. The diversity of their workforce in terms
of technical breadth as well as the geographical spread provides
Microsoft completive edge with the research and development
of wide range product and services (Smith and Simpson, 2018).

Over last 38 years since its inception in 1975, Microsoft had
clearly developed a brand image and reputation for itself. Even
though it has faced fierce challenge and attacks from its
competitors, Microsoft still is popular global brand. Bill Gates’
vision for Microsoft “A personal computer in every home
running Microsoft software” has become close to reality and,
Microsoft has become a true household name across the world
(Jones, 2018).

Over last decade or so Microsoft seems to be losing the battle of
innovation over it competitors. More often than not, Microsoft

The recent change in Microsoft’s business model from being
primarily a software company to that of software, services and
devices company has created lack of direction for the ranks and
files, particularly because every division is targeted to handle
all three aspect of business. To be successful Microsoft really
need to re-organize itself across the new business model, and in

Microsoft launched itself in the smartphone sector in 2010 with
its Widows 7 phone, and Surface was Microsoft’s attempt to get

Microsoft has been trying to compete in the search engine
