Student #1 (John):
Within the social work research, the following evaluation strategies can be defined: scientific-experimental, management-oriented, qualitative-anthropological and client-oriented (Osis, 2016). The scientific-experimental approach is aimed primarily at the development of the social work science and the client-oriented approach features more applied nature and is used to implement changes in the society. The management-oriented methodology helps to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of social institutions and the qualitative-anthropological connects the historical and modern observations of changes within the society.
Given the nowadays tendencies, the new field for social research emerged. These are social networks, where users leave personal information, interact with each other and comment on different political, economic or cultural events. According to the Code of Ethics for social workers, when evaluating or conducting research with the use of any technologies they should receive informed consent of the participants and ensure their confidentiality. It is essential to secure safety and prevent any harm or damage to participants` physical and mental health (NASW Code of Ethics, 2017). Another change of research environment pertains to multicultural and multiethnic societies. In these terms, the key principle for social workers should be social justice, as it encompasses social welfare for everyone (Chukwu, 2015). They should pay more attention to cultural and ethnic differences and include these insights to their researches and evaluations. “Social workers can also use research for policy reform efforts by critically examining legal and public discourse and the extent to which they comply with human rights principles” (Maschi, Youdin, Sutfin & Simpson, 2012). Currently, social workers act as the main promoters and champions of human rights and social justice.
In order to be able to provide highly qualified research or evaluation, the skills should feature transferability. It means that social practitioners should able to explain how their activity is informed by their knowledge base and being able to apply their knowledge and skills to new situations through appraising what is general and what is particular in each situation (Trevithick, 2000). The theory and practice should be effectively combined. Moreover, the special approach to the terminology should be used. It means changing terms of patient, case or subject to a client, person or consumer. Similarly, it is better to use an assessment or evaluation than diagnosis, study or examination (Cournoyer, 2017). The appropriate theoretical frame.

According to Cleary and Hunt, (2011), recent studies have shown the majority of nursing doctoral candidates are female, clinically experienced, and in their 40s or 50s at the time of starting their PhD. Based on that criteria, this writer fits exactly into that criteria. It is noted that other disciplines tend to start doctoral training much earlier (Cleary & Hunt, 2011). As a practicing nurse of 30 years, most of it as an Associate Degree nurse the recognition of the PhD nurse was seen as a profession in a nursing league of their own. According to Michael and Clochesy, (2016), the PhD in nursing was predominant throughout the 20th century with members of the academic nursing community recognizing the need for the development of knowledge to inform practice and to promote the credibility of the profession. Nursing theorists such as Jean Watson and Patricia Benner were game changers in the industry of theoretical nursing. The ability in achieving higher levels of education and in conducting research are hallmarks of professionalism (Houser, 2018).
This writer has a passion for teaching students and wants to be the best instructor she can be. She chose to go down the path of the PhD in Nursing education to increase skills and knowledge to improve what is delivered to students every day. The PhD is being pursued to separate myself from the growing amount of DNP faculty that she works with daily. Being an alumni with Walden University for the MSN, it was an easy choice to pick Walden University for the terminal degree. Michael and Clochesy, (2016), states the PhD and DNP represent complementary and alternative approaches to the highest level of educational preparation in nursing. PhD programs prepare nurse scientists to conduct original research and to generate knowledge that may be broadly applicable or generalizable using advanced research designs and statistical evaluative methods. Conversely, DNP programs prepare students for advanced specialty practice at a high level of complexity with a concurrent focus on the development of knowledge and skills required for translation of evidence to improve health outcomes and health care delivery (Michael & Clochesy, 2016).
Michael and Clochesy, (2016), also states two of the main reasons for not completing a doctoral program are financial and family stresses. Strategic plans must include financial considerations (e.g., research costs), support systems and a systemic approach to the d.

This week we explore the importance of utilizing the appropriate resources and scheduling. A fundamental aspect of project management is the ability to identify available resources and outside resources that may be needed for successful project management. In order to follow the implementation plan, deadlines, and financial funding, a project manager must know what physical and human resources to use. Project management requires extensive planning and use of resources in order to receive approval, educate staff members, and recieve increased approval of staff (Karakashian & Schub, 2017).
Some human resources that will be concerning to secure or manage are nursing leadership roles such as the CFO or CNO, as they are often busy but will be dependent on their approval and financial backing to move forward. Human resources and a nurse educator will also be responsible for nurse recruitment and setting up training programs and shared governance models. Another human resource is contractors to facilitate and schedule renovations and expansions. Lastly, securing a nurse informatics specialist might also be difficult as they are limited and in high demand. This role is essential in implementing acuity-based programming. Some physical resources that a project manager must secure are available time, new software systems, online resources that provide evidence-based information and guidelines, new equipment, and change management frameworks (Schub & Walsh, 2017).
I look forward to reading everyone’s post on resource management in project management, and seeing the different resources available that I may have overlooked. Thank you.

The PICOT question that is proposed for my final project:
P: Are patients that are in the hospital who receive patient education lead to an increase in HCAPHS scores? I: with education to the staff and updated documentation policies, C: As opposed to those that do not? O: Increase HCAPHs scores and decreased readmissions at 30 days T: over 12 months.
Information that will need to be obtained includes what our current HCAPHS, the readmission rate and diagnosis of the patients are. What the cost of the current stay is on all the different levels of the hospital. How does HCAPHS affect reimbursement? What is the baseline documentation being done on education and care plans? The survey’s on the staff’s perception of what needs to be documented. How much time and what the cost of the hourly staff chosen to audit compliance of patient documentation of education and care plans. As one audits charge, there is a need to try and identify what are the deficits in the education and is there a correlation to the patient being readmitted to the facility (Burnett, Lee, Doherty, Suh, Kim, …, Choi, & Suh, 2018). The difficult part of my PICOT questions is that much of the information is subjective instead of objective. From my project, my true hope is that the policies of the organization will be updated with what is expected and that the staff will be educated on the proper way of documenting in the chart. One of my biggest concerns is that many do not give themselves enough information even to remember a patient or situation if that chart is ever brought to court for some reason.

Roussel, Thomas, and Harris (2017) report that a microsystem analysis includes five P’s of purpose, populations, processes, patterns, and providers. A comprehensive analysis using a standardized approach to high light opportunities for improvement. Our purpose is to find the cause of the increase in malpractice claims and improve patient outcomes. The population is patients with operative procedures using Davinci robotics. The process is the Davinci robotic procedure. Next, patterns to narrow the search to understand cause and the providers are the nursing staff working in the OR. Jones, Polancich, Steaban, Feistritzer, and Poe believe quality and patient safety requires efforts from all nursing leadership. The nurse executive (CNO) is paramount to the team and drives the vision of nursing to deliver safe, quality, efficient, patient-centered care (2017, p.186). The leadership skills of CNO are necessary to achieve high-quality patient care and excellent clinical outcomes (Jones, Polancich, Steaban, Feistritzer, & Poe). The CNO establishes the direction and identifies goals to provide the foundation for strategic planning.
The first action as a leadership team is to determine if all the claims revolve around the same type of issues by gathering data on the claims. I will meet with the quality team and nursing leaders to identify the issues. Once we study the data then we will determine how to proceed. Does it appear to be a process issue or a person issue? Is there a lack of knowledge? From the data, we find a trend with procedures done by Davinci robotic surgeries. The clinical nurse leader will observe a Davinci surgery to examine the workflow process to determine areas of opportunity. The process is mapped out in detail to determine areas of concern. It was found that Davinci procedures are now being performed with new equipment. The data is further examined to determine a pattern. Is the data related to a process, structural, or outcomes-based to decide what needs to be improved? We must decide if there is a flaw in the procedure or equipment. Finally, we look at the staff and their experience, education, and familiarity with the procedure and equipment. Is there a knowledge-based error? We know from our previous reports that staffing has been a concern and there are many new RNs working in the OR. We look at the roles of all staff associated with the procedure including the providers. The data shows that many newer nurses may be unfamiliar with the use of the new equipment, so we have an area of opportunity to educate and train the staff. The education plan, communication plan, and timeline will be developed and shared. This communication will explain the plans for the change and allow for additional input if necessary. Physicians and key stakeholders will also need to be informed about the change in advance of implementation. This gives time for additional training of physicians and ancillary staff. Listening to the feedback.
Respond The medical center where I work is a large teaching.docx
Respond
The medical center where I work is a large teaching institution in New York City is made up of 7 hospitals. They believe in educating the next generation of health care professionals, developing groundbreaking research, advancing innovative, patient-centered clinical care and serving the needs of our local, national and global community. The vision of the institution is to be the #1 academic health system in the nation in high-quality patient centered care, education and research. The culture is based on respect, teamwork, innovation, empathy, excellence and responsibility.
The mission and vision is reflected in the organizational culture and leadership through their behaviors. How leadership chooses to do their job everyday demonstrates the core values of the organization. My personal philosophy of nursing is based on respect. Patient care suffers when nurses are not respected (Stievano, Bellass, Rocco, Olsen, Sabatino, & Johnson, 2018). It is crucial that nurses operate in a moral work environment that involves respect to improve patient outcomes (Stievano, et al., 2018). The hospital’s Credo is based on respect. This is how my project aligns with the core values of the institution.
One theoretical approach to understanding how change may be achieved is Rogers’ diffusion model. He argues that certain characteristics of the innovation itself may facilitate its adoption. Factors influencing acceptance include promotion by influential role models, the degree of complexity of the change, compatibility with existing values and needs, and the ability to test and modify the new procedure before adopting it (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018).
Current research suggests that the most effective communication strategy is face-to-face exchange (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018). It provides an opportunity to tailor information to recipients and allows the advocate of the change to explore and, if necessary, modify the reasons why a shift in clinical behaviour should occur. Interpersonal communication is usually more effective when there is a high degree of professional resemblance between the individual attempting to introduce the innovation and the recipient (Mohammadi, Poursaberi, & Salahshoor, 2018).
Luckily, I think it will be relatively easy to implement changes related to a healthy work environment. I believe the majority of people want to work in an environment that is positive, supportive and frowns on bullying and incivility. Through communication as well as role modeling proper behaviors, Rogers’s diffusion of innovation framework will assist in the transformation.

respond The ability to communicate effectively is a critical.docx
respond
The ability to communicate effectively is a critical skill for nurse leaders (Roussel, Thomas & Harris, 2016). In the healthcare setting such as a hospital, nurses work various shifts, and communication can be challenging. Nurse leaders will need to utilize fundamental communication skills to achieve organizational goals (Roussel et al.,2016). There are various traditional ways that leaders can communicate with their staff, such as through emails, text, or even instant messaging (Roussel et al., 2016). Leaders are also finding creative ways to connect with every team members, so the message remains consistent.
One strategy that I would use as a leader to improve communication and empower the members of my team working various shifts is to restructure team huddles. The huddle is a quick meeting given while standing that last approximately fifteen minutes (Johnson, 2018). The huddles can also occur at any time of the day (Johnson, 2018). Providing huddles at various times of the day will allow effective communication with members of the team that works on various days and shifts.
Also, because everyone is assembled, it allows staff to participate in a discussion and give feedback on the information shared. Another way to share information about the magnet designations is to have it displayed as screen savers on the computers nurses use to document. The messaging on the computer screen is a strategy that is used at my workplace to update the employees on new initiatives, and it is useful.
Another strategy is establishing a bulletin board where the staff spends time, such as the break room, nurse’s station, or even restrooms. Ensuring the messaging reaches everyone helps make each member feel part of the team. Another strategy would include leadership rounding. The leader could visit and meet with staff members and provide updates and share information on the magnet designation.

EXPERIENCE
:
The Reduction in workforce paper explored the knowledge and the decision making process required to plan and execute the organizational changes at Roxboro Medical Center. The job of restructuring and reducing the workforce of an organization will always significantly impact the staff. In the setting that we were given, the CNO was tasked with reducing nursing leadership by 30%. Human resources provided guidelines and additional information to assist in the decision making process. It is especially important for key stakeholders to be involved from the outset of the process to assure organizational policy and procedure are adhered to.
The model that was chosen for this organizational staff reduction is Kotter’s change model which relies on stepwise planning and implementation of a strategic plan on a short timeline while also promising ownership for employees. Faced with the development of a plan to reduce the organization's workforce, it is the responsibility of management to use an approach that strengthens the organizational mission and values. Transparency, sensitivity, and open communication are essential and will allow staff members to better understand the decision making process during this challenging time. To assure the buy-in of the staff, the change model that is used to research and plan for the staff reduction must incorporate proven rationales and reassurance of an improved work-life balance along with increasing autonomy and ownership. The organization must remain transparent and communicate openly and often identifying details of the plan and timeline while identifying strategies in order to execute the plan and gain facility-wide acceptance and support.
REFLECTION
:
During the time that I was doing research and writing this paper, the Covid-19 pandemic was surfacing and I actually was faced with making some similar decisions at my own organization. I am a manager in perioperative services and when the Governor placed a moratorium on elective surgeries our caseload decreased by about two thirds. Hospitals face many financial obstacles today and are often forced to use an approach such as staff layoffs to maintain their financial viability (Daniels & Ritter, 2018). The first wave of cuts that I had to make was dismissing all travel staff giving them two weeks’ notice. At this time, I also took all non-benefitted employees off the schedule. Ten days later I realized that we were still overstaffed and cut everyone’s FTE by 25%. Another week passed and our CEO and CNO tasked all managers with cutting our staffing budget by another 20%. Emotions and feelings may affect the initial acceptance of the change due to misconceptions about the process of the reduction in force and when issues of trust exist (Walker & Karau, 2016). This was gut-wrenching for me, I knew how devastating this would be to many of my staff members. Feelings of guilt and being at fault is quite common for managers who are faced with .

Communication is integral in the field of nursing. Nurses act as the hub of communication, relaying and interpreting information between physicians, caregivers, family members and patients. The ability to establish effective communication in nursing is imperative to providing the best care and patient outcomes possible (Bender, Williams, Su, & Hites, 2016). At any workplace, good communication is vital. Effective communication removes obstacles that detract from efficiency and collaboration. As a nurse executive, I should create the structure and processes that facilitate effective communication within in my team. To improve communication to and between team members, my focus would be improving both the content and the coverage of team members’ communication.
To begin with, I would provide role clarity at the workplace. One of the most effective structural ways to improve the content of communication within a team is to invest in role clarity (Marquis & Huston, 2017). It helps everyone on the team know from the beginning which content is most relevant to discuss with different team members. I would promote role clarity by explaining to each employee what metrics will be used to define success in their role. Another way of enhancing communication is by creating an open door policy. This would encourage free communication by removing any potential barriers.
Empowering team members would enable them have the authority or power to execute certain functions. Additionally, empowering people also makes them more confident, for instance, in decision-making (Marquis & Huston, 2017). One major way in which I would empower my team members is by including them in the decision-making process of our healthcare organization. Through this inclusion, their views are likely to be heard by a higher authority.

As the unit director for the emergency department and part of an ad hoc interdisciplinary committee formed to address rise in medication errors it is important to include all stakeholders to combat this issue system-wide. Ultimately, stakeholders are known as our consumers or patients, however, we must take into consideration the stakeholders of the organization; CNO, nurse manager, pharmacist technicians, nurses, pharmacists, IT and any member of the team that has access to medication rooms. Stakeholders are not chosen by the organization, but rather stakeholders choose to have a stake in the organization’s decision making (Marquis & Houston, 2017). It is essential to include all members of the organization because each individual has their own vision and view toward their approach to medication administration, medication verification, and the technology used to do so.
I’ve worked in both adult health and currently in the pediatric arena; one major difference to reducing medication errors between specialties is highly regarding diabetes and insulin and anticoagulants. To compare the two fields, in the pediatric field our medication administration is calculated weight based and in specific the sliding scale protocol is based on caloric intake per meal. Each syringe of medication is drawn and sent via tube from pharmacy, nurses are never to draw up units from vials. This extra precaution and safety measure (although medication checks are still necessary and double RN checked) is put in place to reduce complications relating to insulin administration. Medication errors often times occur when layers of defense are not implemented correctly, when teamwork is strong on a unit and resources are available, most often another team member may catch the error before it occurs, the Swiss Cheese Model illustrates exactly that (Aebersold & Kalisch, 2016).
As different roles gather to overcome the medication error prevention ad hoc, we must look into organizational culture and organizational climate. Organization culture is known as the total of an organization’s values, language, traditions customs and certain aspects of the organization that is not open for change (Marquis & Houston, 2017). With that being said, the team will utilize effective, respectful communication and transparency throughout the process. Approaching medication errors with the intention to learn from mistakes and find the “swiss cheese” effect is essential in all departments involved. In short, the organizational culture can be specific to one organization, including unique ways of thinking and behavior. On the other hand, organizational climate is how the organization is perceived. One employee may perceive the organization in a positive light whereas another may not. Leadership and management can influence their employee’s perception of the unit or organization as a whole, influencing perceptions through effective communication, leadership styl.

The Pros and Cons of a Pure Deterrence Theory
As one reviews the application of a pure deterrence theory in America corrections operations today, the absence of empirical evidence in the development of many such theories remains evident. Based on this author’s research and personal observations of local corrections operations in practice, it appears that many pure deterrence programs develop more like a knee jerk response to various challenges within the corrections system. America’s public opinion historical suggests that felonious offenders should be incarcerated through determinate or indeterminate sentencing. The political reaction to public opinion has been to increase incarceration to satisfy safety issues within our communities. Indeed, incarceration does stop that offender from bringing harm to our communities (Cullen, Jonso, & Nagin, 2011). The increased prison populations serve to create overcrowding conditions within prisons, however, which serves to increase violence, more dangers to over-worked corrections personnel, and a resulting increase in parole or felony probation diversion strategies to lessen this burden. One reactive strategy is the use of Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation (ISP) (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). The question remaining is, how valid is this strategy, and what challenges have arisen within this strategy?
What is Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation ( ISP)?
The theory behind ISP assumes that a specific offender is more prone to recidivism if he or she is awarded the standard probation or parole, which requires minimal reporting such as monthly office visits with the parole/probation officer or even lesser challenging requirements such as phone calls to the officer. ISP, therefore, has arisen as an immediate solution to this challenge. The parolee/probationer is required to submit to more intensive visitation or office visits, drug testing, and other more stringent requirements, which, by design, are perceived to gain more control over the offender, which forces compliance (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). However, one must ask if this is a pure form of rational emotive behavior therapy, or does it merely delay the inevitable by creating controlled robotic responses? Does history offer examples in intensive parenting controls gone wrong?
Challenges within ISP
The more significant and obvious error within the application of the theory of ISP rests with the increased caseload resulting from the diversion of offenders from incarceration into the parole/probation system. Many states developed parole in absentia program, which is designed to work with offenders with less than a five-year sentence. The offender is released on parole immediately the following sent.

respond As the nurse executive in an acute care hospital, I .docx
respond
As the nurse executive in an acute care hospital, I welcome collaboration among advanced practice nurses (APN) and the clinical staff for many reasons. Advanced practice nurses can take on acute services, be readily available and in all honesty are far more approachable, accessible and can provide a sense of trust into our patient population when being compared to a PGYI or newer medical student. Often times our medical residents or surgical residents lack empathy and lack a collaborative effort that makes our admissions and discharges flow in less than desired manner. As a whole, the unit gravitates toward reaching out to the APRN for effective communication when placed in a position to communicate between families, patients and our medical teams.
An organizational chart could absolutely be utilized to enhance and improve collaborative communication and facilitate trust among different departments through reflexivity. From the article
Margaret Archer, Modes of Reflexivity: The Structured Agency of Nursing Action,
communicative reflexivity is said to be our inner conversations which required confirmation and communication with others before we act. A nurse who predominantly uses communicative reflexivity will consider what their peers are thinking and will want to act in such a way as to fit in (Goodman, 2017). Although the nursing profession especially as a clinical provider we tend to use our professional critical thinking skills and act on our best nursing judgement, we tend to disconnect from our peers and resources such as the APNs to confirm our actions before we act. Although working together as a team is essential for the unit to function properly in crisis situations, I often times see nurses perform on “auto-pilot”, working independently without collaborative efforts that could be in the best interest of our patient population. Facilitating collaboration between available APNs and clinical staff is essential to improving patient outcomes and building a higher self-esteem among staff. Being validated that our critical thinking, assumptions and interventions are correct from someone with higher level education can be very empowering.

Respond:
The phrase Stare Decisis comes from Latin and means "let the decision stand". It is a doctrine that allows judges to examine previous cases as examples to make decisions about new cases. Stare Decisis is closely connected to the idea of a precedent. This means that if a Supreme Court has previously made a ruling on a similar case, it will use that precedent as a model for another case. However, following a precedent does not necessarily mean that all similar cases will be decided in the same way. Other factors, such as context or changes in societal views, can also influence whether or not a precedent will be followed.
One of the most talked about recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions was the April 2018 decision of Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The case was brought by Mark Janus, a child support specialist who worked for the state government in Illinois. He sued the union, saying he did not agree with its positions and should not be forced to pay fees to support its work. By a 5-to-4 vote, the court ruled that government workers who choose not to join unions may not be required to help pay for collective bargaining. This ruling overruled the court's 1977 decision in Abood v. Detroit Bo.

I had been a bedside nurse for 24 years before I transitioned into my current position as an Accreditation Specialist. I have been in my position a little over two years and due to being a bedside nurse I never had to deal with any budgeting issues. My husband tends to all our personally finances. I honestly have to admit, I am not good with money. My husband is so much better in planning and saving for the future, I have more of a spontaneous personality. I paying more attention and asking more questions to my department manager and director in regards to our budget. They have quarterly leadership meeting where our organizations financial information is discussed. After these meetings, my leaders share the information and are willing to answer any of our questions. They want to be transparent to allow us to be educated and knowledgeable in regards to our organization.
REFLECTION
The pre-conceived notion I had of healthcare financial and budgeting principle is of staffing. I did not realize developing a staffing budget consisted of a certain formula. I was unaware of the number of factors related to identifying the full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed to staff a hospital floor. I now understand that an FTE consisted of 2,080 hours/year for a full-time employee. And patient hours are a major factor, the percentage of direct admits from the emergency room (ER). The budget also has to take into consideration the skill mix needed for your organization.
Two concepts that were very interesting to me were the nonprofit and for-profit concepts. They only difference is that non-profit organizations do not pay taxes. For profit hospitals are owned and operated by financial cooperation’s and have access to larger sums of money when needed. Nonprofit organizations are more community oriented and focuses on what the community needs. They are typically in area that are financially well off but that is not the case for the organization I am affiliated with. My community is poor and Medicaid and Medicare are a high percentage of our reimbursement. Quality verses quantity is always a main focus for us. We do not provide a lot of specialty services but what we offer is quality care with the capability to stabilize and transfer to affiliated hospitals. We like to ensure our patients are receiving quality care not matter where they are sent.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
My proposed project is implementing a sepsis bundle checklist to improve sepsis bundle compliance in the Emergency Department (ED) to improve patient outcomes. This project is not a high cost to the organization.

Staffing issues have always been a major area of concern within the health field. Adequate staffing affects the patient safety, staff morale and finances of the organization. It’s important that organizations take note of concerns related to their staffing and take the necessary steps to ensure that adequate staffing within the units.
The staffing in my organization varies depending on the unit and level of care or acuity of the patients. For starters, patients enter into the Emergency Department and are typically cared for by a nurse who is assigned a team of 3-4 patients. Nurses who work on the medical/ telemetry units are assigned a 1:6 nurse: patient ratio. Nurses who work on the Intermediate Care or Step Down unit is assigned a 1:3 nurse:patient ratio. ICU and CVICU patients are assigned at a 1:2 or 1:1 nurse to patient ratio.
There could be a number of variables that affects the staffing ratio. The shortage in healthcare professionals is one of the greatest variables affecting the staffing ratios. When there is not enough employees on duty, nurses and nurses assistants are forced to work under staff. Patients and families notice when there is a shortage of staff, and they tend to lose their faith in their provider when they’re working short. It’s important that staff understand the importance of managing up the organization and notify their leader if they are feeling overwhelmed instead of venting to the patients.
As it stands now, my organization has some of the lowest nurse to patient ratios which is currently mandated by the organization itself. Our organization takes pride in patient safety, and focuses on safe quality care as a whole. This staffing ratio affects the organizational budget as a great deal of resources is put into recruiting qualified staff as well as using alternative staffing agencies to assist with nursing and support staff coverage.

Respond 100 Response 1Inland ports can benefit from lea.docx
Respond 100 :
Response 1:
Inland ports can benefit from learning how to better utilize integrated transportation and distribution systems because the more connected a port of embarkation or debarkation is to the global transportation network of hubs, the more business that the port will see and profit that will be generated. In a hub and spoke concept, hubs are the central point of activity in the transportation network, which act as a conduit to smaller locations (spokes) and other hubs within the transportation system. Spokes on the other hand are essentially the outstations. The smaller ports which facilitate the handoff to the last-mile delivery services and provide a portal to connect consumers with the logistics enterprise (Bonsor, n.d.).
For inland ports, this correlates back to the idea that many inland seaports ports are most likely primarily spokes within the transportation network, facilitating the movement of goods between the local economy and the larger transportation infrastructure (the hubs). Rather than hand delivering packages to the coastal maritime ports that connect one country with another, inland ports can help bridge the gap by providing a shuttle service type capability to move packages from the inland port to the coastline or even enable the direct pickup and drop off from container ships for inland ports large enough to handle the capacity of the vessels. As a result of this, if inland ports are able to embrace the ability to either provide shuttle services to coastline ports or improve their capabilities enough to facilitate the movement of large maritime vessels, the demand for services at that particular port will drastically increase. This not only provides a necessary service to the local economy, but also improves business at the inland port itself.

Ports tend to use a point-to-point or a hub and spoke network. Rodrigue (2020a) compared the cost of each and found that a hub and spoke concept is usually cheaper. This occurs because the cost is reduced due to the network structure (Rodrigue, 2020a). The loading and unloading time and cost may not change, but the transport distances and the economies of scale for point-to-point services are usually higher (Rodrigue, 2020a). Unquestionably, a hub port usually has larger advantages than other locations and limits the competition (Rodrigue, 2020a).

RespondIt is crucial that this decision, and the communicati.docx
Respond
It is crucial that this decision, and the communications surrounding it, be handled in a well-planned and systematic fashion. Just today, our manager walked into the office that five of us share and stated that a sixth person would be joining us. I have learned that change is constant in our department, and people are shuffled all over as space permits; however, one of my office-mates angrily said, “he really could have told us before bringing in the sixth person and announcing that she would be joining us”. It was a good example of how staff feel about poor communication.
Moreland and Apker (2016) note that nurses feel excluded when leaders inconsistently communicate policies and don’t invite feedback or input into decision-making. Therefore, as the nurse administrator, I would prepare a plan to communicate the difficult decision to eliminate tuition reimbursement benefits.
First, I would explore the reasons why the decision was made. Was it cost-prohibitive to maintain? Did staff obtain tuition reimbursements, only to leave as soon as they received their BSN or MSN? Did it engender annoyance from staff who already had their degrees and could not take advantage of the benefit? I believe that transparency is best when communicating a change in policy.
Next, I would do my best to inform all direct reports at the same time, perhaps in a meeting. There are few things worse in an organization than for the information to get “leaked” by a few people, and then turn into a rumor with untruths.
Before I tell the direct reports, I would have an email/text/snail mail document prepared, so that all staff could receive it before the rumor mill starts. Having a written form of communication allows me to control the message and get all the pertinent points noted. The document would end with an invitation for all staff to contact me if they have any questions or comments. Being accessible to staff would, I hope, create some good feelings to offset the loss of tuition reimbursement.

respondAs healthcare providers, we should always be prepared.docx
respond
As healthcare providers, we should always be prepared to care for patients from multicultural backgrounds and be aware of the cultural differences and values of different populations and the impact culture has on health and wellness. In recent years, there has been a big emphasis on educating healthcare providers about how to give culturally competent care (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural humility is incorporated into how we care for a diverse population of patients and communities along with cultural competence. Even though these concepts are alike, they differ in goals and outcomes. Cultural humility is a lifelong process in which an individual uses self-reflection and critique and not only learns about someone else's culture and cultural needs but to examine self and explore one's own personal beliefs and identity (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural humility goes beyond cultural competence and emphasizes the importance of providing care that is culturally competent, examining oneself for personal bias, beliefs, and values, as well as committing to a lifelong learning process. When incorporating cultural humility into care, professionals must approach patients with openness and readiness to learn. Assumptions should not be made, and individualized can be achieved.
Three attributes that are emphasized in cultural humility include self-awareness, humbleness, and openness. Openness is one of the first steps in developing cultural humility and is described as being open to explore and learn new ideas (Foronda, Baptiste, Reinholdt, & Ousman, 2016). Humbleness understanding and accepting that all humans are equal and that no person is better than another (Foronda et al., 2016). When a person is humble during interactions with others, personal beliefs are set aside, and the terms superiority and dominance are forgotten. Self-awareness is defined as recognizing your own values, beliefs, strengths, and limitations, in addition to the ways someone’s views may appear to others (Foronda et al., 2016).
It is important for healthcare professionals to understand the scope of diversity to deliver individualized quality care and practice cultural humility (Lightfoot & Quintana, 2017). With each patient interaction, every nurse should be open and accepting to a patient’s opinions and cultural norms. At the end of a long day, we should reflect on the interactions experienced and on how to improve your practice and communication skills. As a result, we are not only providing the best individualized and culturally acceptable care but also creating a great nurse-patient relationship and improving our knowledge base and skills, which will ultimately improve patient outcomes.

respond
The ability to communicate effectively is a critical skill for nurse leaders (Roussel, Thomas & Harris, 2016). In the healthcare setting such as a hospital, nurses work various shifts, and communication can be challenging. Nurse leaders will need to utilize fundamental communication skills to achieve organizational goals (Roussel et al.,2016). There are various traditional ways that leaders can communicate with their staff, such as through emails, text, or even instant messaging (Roussel et al., 2016). Leaders are also finding creative ways to connect with every team members, so the message remains consistent.
One strategy that I would use as a leader to improve communication and empower the members of my team working various shifts is to restructure team huddles. The huddle is a quick meeting given while standing that last approximately fifteen minutes (Johnson, 2018). The huddles can also occur at any time of the day (Johnson, 2018). Providing huddles at various times of the day will allow effective communication with members of the team that works on various days and shifts.
Also, because everyone is assembled, it allows staff to participate in a discussion and give feedback on the information shared. Another way to share information about the magnet designations is to have it displayed as screen savers on the computers nurses use to document. The messaging on the computer screen is a strategy that is used at my workplace to update the employees on new initiatives, and it is useful.
Another strategy is establishing a bulletin board where the staff spends time, such as the break room, nurse’s station, or even restrooms. Ensuring the messaging reaches everyone helps make each member feel part of the team. Another strategy would include leadership rounding. The leader could visit and meet with staff members and provide updates and share information on the magnet designation.

EXPERIENCE
:
The Reduction in workforce paper explored the knowledge and the decision making process required to plan and execute the organizational changes at Roxboro Medical Center. The job of restructuring and reducing the workforce of an organization will always significantly impact the staff. In the setting that we were given, the CNO was tasked with reducing nursing leadership by 30%. Human resources provided guidelines and additional information to assist in the decision making process. It is especially important for key stakeholders to be involved from the outset of the process to assure organizational policy and procedure are adhered to.
The model that was chosen for this organizational staff reduction is Kotter’s change model which relies on stepwise planning and implementation of a strategic plan on a short timeline while also promising ownership for employees. Faced with the development of a plan to reduce the organization's workforce, it is the responsibility of management to use an approach that strengthens the organizational mission and values. Transparency, sensitivity, and open communication are essential and will allow staff members to better understand the decision making process during this challenging time. To assure the buy-in of the staff, the change model that is used to research and plan for the staff reduction must incorporate proven rationales and reassurance of an improved work-life balance along with increasing autonomy and ownership. The organization must remain transparent and communicate openly and often identifying details of the plan and timeline while identifying strategies in order to execute the plan and gain facility-wide acceptance and support.

:
During the time that I was doing research and writing this paper, the Covid-19 pandemic was surfacing and I actually was faced with making some similar decisions at my own organization. I am a manager in perioperative services and when the Governor placed a moratorium on elective surgeries our caseload decreased by about two thirds. Hospitals face many financial obstacles today and are often forced to use an approach such as staff layoffs to maintain their financial viability (Daniels & Ritter, 2018). The first wave of cuts that I had to make was dismissing all travel staff giving them two weeks’ notice. At this time, I also took all non-benefitted employees off the schedule. Ten days later I realized that we were still overstaffed and cut everyone’s FTE by 25%. Another week passed and our CEO and CNO tasked all managers with cutting our staffing budget by another 20%. Emotions and feelings may affect the initial acceptance of the change due to misconceptions about the process of the reduction in force and when issues of trust exist (Walker & Karau, 2016). This was gut-wrenching for me, I knew how devastating this would be to many of my staff members. Feelings of guilt and being at fault is quite common for managers who are faced with .

Communication is integral in the field of nursing. Nurses act as the hub of communication, relaying and interpreting information between physicians, caregivers, family members and patients. The ability to establish effective communication in nursing is imperative to providing the best care and patient outcomes possible (Bender, Williams, Su, & Hites, 2016). At any workplace, good communication is vital. Effective communication removes obstacles that detract from efficiency and collaboration. As a nurse executive, I should create the structure and processes that facilitate effective communication within in my team. To improve communication to and between team members, my focus would be improving both the content and the coverage of team members’ communication.
To begin with, I would provide role clarity at the workplace. One of the most effective structural ways to improve the content of communication within a team is to invest in role clarity (Marquis & Huston, 2017). It helps everyone on the team know from the beginning which content is most relevant to discuss with different team members. I would promote role clarity by explaining to each employee what metrics will be used to define success in their role. Another way of enhancing communication is by creating an open door policy. This would encourage free communication by removing any potential barriers.
Empowering team members would enable them have the authority or power to execute certain functions. Additionally, empowering people also makes them more confident, for instance, in decision-making (Marquis & Huston, 2017). One major way in which I would empower my team members is by including them in the decision-making process of our healthcare organization. Through this inclusion, their views are likely to be heard by a higher authority.

As the unit director for the emergency department and part of an ad hoc interdisciplinary committee formed to address rise in medication errors it is important to include all stakeholders to combat this issue system-wide. Ultimately, stakeholders are known as our consumers or patients, however, we must take into consideration the stakeholders of the organization; CNO, nurse manager, pharmacist technicians, nurses, pharmacists, IT and any member of the team that has access to medication rooms. Stakeholders are not chosen by the organization, but rather stakeholders choose to have a stake in the organization’s decision making (Marquis & Houston, 2017). It is essential to include all members of the organization because each individual has their own vision and view toward their approach to medication administration, medication verification, and the technology used to do so.
I’ve worked in both adult health and currently in the pediatric arena; one major difference to reducing medication errors between specialties is highly regarding diabetes and insulin and anticoagulants. To compare the two fields, in the pediatric field our medication administration is calculated weight based and in specific the sliding scale protocol is based on caloric intake per meal. Each syringe of medication is drawn and sent via tube from pharmacy, nurses are never to draw up units from vials. This extra precaution and safety measure (although medication checks are still necessary and double RN checked) is put in place to reduce complications relating to insulin administration. Medication errors often times occur when layers of defense are not implemented correctly, when teamwork is strong on a unit and resources are available, most often another team member may catch the error before it occurs, the Swiss Cheese Model illustrates exactly that (Aebersold & Kalisch, 2016).
As different roles gather to overcome the medication error prevention ad hoc, we must look into organizational culture and organizational climate. Organization culture is known as the total of an organization’s values, language, traditions customs and certain aspects of the organization that is not open for change (Marquis & Houston, 2017). With that being said, the team will utilize effective, respectful communication and transparency throughout the process. Approaching medication errors with the intention to learn from mistakes and find the “swiss cheese” effect is essential in all departments involved. In short, the organizational culture can be specific to one organization, including unique ways of thinking and behavior. On the other hand, organizational climate is how the organization is perceived. One employee may perceive the organization in a positive light whereas another may not. Leadership and management can influence their employee’s perception of the unit or organization as a whole, influencing perceptions through effective communication, leadership styl.

The Pros and Cons of a Pure Deterrence Theory
As one reviews the application of a pure deterrence theory in America corrections operations today, the absence of empirical evidence in the development of many such theories remains evident. Based on this author’s research and personal observations of local corrections operations in practice, it appears that many pure deterrence programs develop more like a knee jerk response to various challenges within the corrections system. America’s public opinion historical suggests that felonious offenders should be incarcerated through determinate or indeterminate sentencing. The political reaction to public opinion has been to increase incarceration to satisfy safety issues within our communities. Indeed, incarceration does stop that offender from bringing harm to our communities (Cullen, Jonso, & Nagin, 2011). The increased prison populations serve to create overcrowding conditions within prisons, however, which serves to increase violence, more dangers to over-worked corrections personnel, and a resulting increase in parole or felony probation diversion strategies to lessen this burden. One reactive strategy is the use of Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation (ISP) (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). The question remaining is, how valid is this strategy, and what challenges have arisen within this strategy?
What is Intensive Supervision Parole/Probation ( ISP)?
The theory behind ISP assumes that a specific offender is more prone to recidivism if he or she is awarded the standard probation or parole, which requires minimal reporting such as monthly office visits with the parole/probation officer or even lesser challenging requirements such as phone calls to the officer. ISP, therefore, has arisen as an immediate solution to this challenge. The parolee/probationer is required to submit to more intensive visitation or office visits, drug testing, and other more stringent requirements, which, by design, are perceived to gain more control over the offender, which forces compliance (Hyatt & Barnes, 2017). However, one must ask if this is a pure form of rational emotive behavior therapy, or does it merely delay the inevitable by creating controlled robotic responses? Does history offer examples in intensive parenting controls gone wrong?
Challenges within ISP
The more significant and obvious error within the application of the theory of ISP rests with the increased caseload resulting from the diversion of offenders from incarceration into the parole/probation system. Many states developed parole in absentia program, which is designed to work with offenders with less than a five-year sentence. The offender is released on parole immediately the following sent.

respond As the nurse executive in an acute care hospital, I .docx
respond
As the nurse executive in an acute care hospital, I welcome collaboration among advanced practice nurses (APN) and the clinical staff for many reasons. Advanced practice nurses can take on acute services, be readily available and in all honesty are far more approachable, accessible and can provide a sense of trust into our patient population when being compared to a PGYI or newer medical student. Often times our medical residents or surgical residents lack empathy and lack a collaborative effort that makes our admissions and discharges flow in less than desired manner. As a whole, the unit gravitates toward reaching out to the APRN for effective communication when placed in a position to communicate between families, patients and our medical teams.
An organizational chart could absolutely be utilized to enhance and improve collaborative communication and facilitate trust among different departments through reflexivity. From the article
Margaret Archer, Modes of Reflexivity: The Structured Agency of Nursing Action,
communicative reflexivity is said to be our inner conversations which required confirmation and communication with others before we act. A nurse who predominantly uses communicative reflexivity will consider what their peers are thinking and will want to act in such a way as to fit in (Goodman, 2017). Although the nursing profession especially as a clinical provider we tend to use our professional critical thinking skills and act on our best nursing judgement, we tend to disconnect from our peers and resources such as the APNs to confirm our actions before we act. Although working together as a team is essential for the unit to function properly in crisis situations, I often times see nurses perform on “auto-pilot”, working independently without collaborative efforts that could be in the best interest of our patient population. Facilitating collaboration between available APNs and clinical staff is essential to improving patient outcomes and building a higher self-esteem among staff. Being validated that our critical thinking, assumptions and interventions are correct from someone with higher level education can be very empowering.

Respond:
The phrase Stare Decisis comes from Latin and means "let the decision stand". It is a doctrine that allows judges to examine previous cases as examples to make decisions about new cases. Stare Decisis is closely connected to the idea of a precedent. This means that if a Supreme Court has previously made a ruling on a similar case, it will use that precedent as a model for another case. However, following a precedent does not necessarily mean that all similar cases will be decided in the same way. Other factors, such as context or changes in societal views, can also influence whether or not a precedent will be followed.
One of the most talked about recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions was the April 2018 decision of Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The case was brought by Mark Janus, a child support specialist who worked for the state government in Illinois. He sued the union, saying he did not agree with its positions and should not be forced to pay fees to support its work. By a 5-to-4 vote, the court ruled that government workers who choose not to join unions may not be required to help pay for collective bargaining. This ruling overruled the court's 1977 decision in Abood v. Detroit Bo.

I have been in my position a little over two years and due to being a bedside nurse I never had to deal with any budgeting issues. My husband tends to all our personally finances. I honestly have to admit, I am not good with money. My husband is so much better in planning and saving for the future, I have more of a spontaneous personality. I paying more attention and asking more questions to my department manager and director in regards to our budget. They have quarterly leadership meeting where our organizations financial information is discussed. After these meetings, my leaders share the information and are willing to answer any of our questions. They want to be transparent to allow us to be educated and knowledgeable in regards to our organization.
REFLECTION
The pre-conceived notion I had of healthcare financial and budgeting principle is of staffing. I did not realize developing a staffing budget consisted of a certain formula. I was unaware of the number of factors related to identifying the full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed to staff a hospital floor. I now understand that an FTE consisted of 2,080 hours/year for a full-time employee. And patient hours are a major factor, the percentage of direct admits from the emergency room (ER). The budget also has to take into consideration the skill mix needed for your organization.
Two concepts that were very interesting to me were the nonprofit and for-profit concepts. They only difference is that non-profit organizations do not pay taxes. For profit hospitals are owned and operated by financial cooperation’s and have access to larger sums of money when needed. Nonprofit organizations are more community oriented and focuses on what the community needs. They are typically in area that are financially well off but that is not the case for the organization I am affiliated with. My community is poor and Medicaid and Medicare are a high percentage of our reimbursement. Quality verses quantity is always a main focus for us. We do not provide a lot of specialty services but what we offer is quality care with the capability to stabilize and transfer to affiliated hospitals. We like to ensure our patients are receiving quality care not matter where they are sent.

Staffing issues have always been a major area of concern within the health field. Adequate staffing affects the patient safety, staff morale and finances of the organization. It’s important that organizations take note of concerns related to their staffing and take the necessary steps to ensure that adequate staffing within the units.
The staffing in my organization varies depending on the unit and level of care or acuity of the patients. For starters, patients enter into the Emergency Department and are typically cared for by a nurse who is assigned a team of 3-4 patients. Nurses who work on the medical/ telemetry units are assigned a 1:6 nurse: patient ratio. Nurses who work on the Intermediate Care or Step Down unit is assigned a 1:3 nurse:patient ratio. ICU and CVICU patients are assigned at a 1:2 or 1:1 nurse to patient ratio.
There could be a number of variables that affects the staffing ratio. The shortage in healthcare professionals is one of the greatest variables affecting the staffing ratios. When there is not enough employees on duty, nurses and nurses assistants are forced to work under staff. Patients and families notice when there is a shortage of staff, and they tend to lose their faith in their provider when they’re working short. It’s important that staff understand the importance of managing up the organization and notify their leader if they are feeling overwhelmed instead of venting to the patients.
As it stands now, my organization has some of the lowest nurse to patient ratios which is currently mandated by the organization itself. Our organization takes pride in patient safety, and focuses on safe quality care as a whole. This staffing ratio affects the organizational budget as a great deal of resources is put into recruiting qualified staff as well as using alternative staffing agencies to assist with nursing and support staff coverage.

Respond 100 Response 1Inland ports can benefit from lea.docx
Respond 100 :
Response 1:
Inland ports can benefit from learning how to better utilize integrated transportation and distribution systems because the more connected a port of embarkation or debarkation is to the global transportation network of hubs, the more business that the port will see and profit that will be generated. In a hub and spoke concept, hubs are the central point of activity in the transportation network, which act as a conduit to smaller locations (spokes) and other hubs within the transportation system. Spokes on the other hand are essentially the outstations. The smaller ports which facilitate the handoff to the last-mile delivery services and provide a portal to connect consumers with the logistics enterprise (Bonsor, n.d.).
For inland ports, this correlates back to the idea that many inland seaports ports are most likely primarily spokes within the transportation network, facilitating the movement of goods between the local economy and the larger transportation infrastructure (the hubs). Rather than hand delivering packages to the coastal maritime ports that connect one country with another, inland ports can help bridge the gap by providing a shuttle service type capability to move packages from the inland port to the coastline or even enable the direct pickup and drop off from container ships for inland ports large enough to handle the capacity of the vessels. As a result of this, if inland ports are able to embrace the ability to either provide shuttle services to coastline ports or improve their capabilities enough to facilitate the movement of large maritime vessels, the demand for services at that particular port will drastically increase. This not only provides a necessary service to the local economy, but also improves business at the inland port itself.

Ports tend to use a point-to-point or a hub and spoke network. Rodrigue (2020a) compared the cost of each and found that a hub and spoke concept is usually cheaper. This occurs because the cost is reduced due to the network structure (Rodrigue, 2020a). The loading and unloading time and cost may not change, but the transport distances and the economies of scale for point-to-point services are usually higher (Rodrigue, 2020a). Unquestionably, a hub port usually has larger advantages than other locations and limits the competition (Rodrigue, 2020a).

RespondIt is crucial that this decision, and the communicati.docx
Respond
It is crucial that this decision, and the communications surrounding it, be handled in a well-planned and systematic fashion. Just today, our manager walked into the office that five of us share and stated that a sixth person would be joining us. I have learned that change is constant in our department, and people are shuffled all over as space permits; however, one of my office-mates angrily said, “he really could have told us before bringing in the sixth person and announcing that she would be joining us”. It was a good example of how staff feel about poor communication.
Moreland and Apker (2016) note that nurses feel excluded when leaders inconsistently communicate policies and don’t invite feedback or input into decision-making. Therefore, as the nurse administrator, I would prepare a plan to communicate the difficult decision to eliminate tuition reimbursement benefits.
First, I would explore the reasons why the decision was made. Was it cost-prohibitive to maintain? Did staff obtain tuition reimbursements, only to leave as soon as they received their BSN or MSN? Did it engender annoyance from staff who already had their degrees and could not take advantage of the benefit? I believe that transparency is best when communicating a change in policy.
Next, I would do my best to inform all direct reports at the same time, perhaps in a meeting. There are few things worse in an organization than for the information to get “leaked” by a few people, and then turn into a rumor with untruths.
Before I tell the direct reports, I would have an email/text/snail mail document prepared, so that all staff could receive it before the rumor mill starts. Having a written form of communication allows me to control the message and get all the pertinent points noted. The document would end with an invitation for all staff to contact me if they have any questions or comments. Being accessible to staff would, I hope, create some good feelings to offset the loss of tuition reimbursement.

respondAs healthcare providers, we should always be prepared.docx
respond
As healthcare providers, we should always be prepared to care for patients from multicultural backgrounds and be aware of the cultural differences and values of different populations and the impact culture has on health and wellness. In recent years, there has been a big emphasis on educating healthcare providers about how to give culturally competent care (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural humility is incorporated into how we care for a diverse population of patients and communities along with cultural competence. Even though these concepts are alike, they differ in goals and outcomes. Cultural humility is a lifelong process in which an individual uses self-reflection and critique and not only learns about someone else's culture and cultural needs but to examine self and explore one's own personal beliefs and identity (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013). Cultural humility goes beyond cultural competence and emphasizes the importance of providing care that is culturally competent, examining oneself for personal bias, beliefs, and values, as well as committing to a lifelong learning process. When incorporating cultural humility into care, professionals must approach patients with openness and readiness to learn. Assumptions should not be made, and individualized can be achieved.
Three attributes that are emphasized in cultural humility include self-awareness, humbleness, and openness. Openness is one of the first steps in developing cultural humility and is described as being open to explore and learn new ideas (Foronda, Baptiste, Reinholdt, & Ousman, 2016). Humbleness understanding and accepting that all humans are equal and that no person is better than another (Foronda et al., 2016). When a person is humble during interactions with others, personal beliefs are set aside, and the terms superiority and dominance are forgotten. Self-awareness is defined as recognizing your own values, beliefs, strengths, and limitations, in addition to the ways someone’s views may appear to others (Foronda et al., 2016).
It is important for healthcare professionals to understand the scope of diversity to deliver individualized quality care and practice cultural humility (Lightfoot & Quintana, 2017). With each patient interaction, every nurse should be open and accepting to a patient’s opinions and cultural norms. At the end of a long day, we should reflect on the interactions experienced and on how to improve your practice and communication skills. As a result, we are not only providing the best individualized and culturally acceptable care but also creating a great nurse-patient relationship and improving our knowledge base and skills, which will ultimately improve patient outcomes.

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

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
