1.)Describe the changes that you believe colleges will need to make over the next 3-7 years to adapt to the following groups in order to be effective in facilitating emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development: Homelanders, Millenial students, and Adult learners. In the next few years colleges will need to change to the learning styles of new generations such as Homelanders, Millenial students, and adult learners. Virtual assistants, flipped classrooms and the quantified self are three of the six technological developments that will have a significant impact on higher education within the next five years. Instructors have presented information by lecture since Socrates to the benefit only of linguistic learners. If you're visual or hands-on you've been teacher disabled. Helping students learn according to their learning styles and multiple intelligence preference is finally becoming accepted as an instructional strategy. Many students naturally learn how to learn when they realize they learn better from one resource or strategy over another. For many learners, this concept is too refined or it flies in the face of the teacher authority. Young children like to learn with hands-on methods, but the system quickly moves them to learn by listening. Parents try to help by pointing to smart students and suggesting that their offspring emulate the learning strategies that work for others. Following the path set by others won't work. In fact, we all learn differently. It's a wise parent and facilitative instructor who realizes this and helps the student identify their strategies to meet it. As we work extensively in technology, we see that learners now have access to a variety of instructional strategies. In many cases, the learner selects the path to the strategy. The search for knowledge becomes the learner's intrinsic reward, rather than an extrinsic reward provided by external authority. This may make the learner more motivated because they find it easier to learn. Research in learning technologies may eventually show us that students learn more quickly and deeply so that they apply the information and solve problems. A school can be in the worst neighborhood, but a satellite dish on the roof and fast Internet access on ten classroom computers, positively impacts learning. It could be that we're saving generations of children. Many learning style models exist; my favorite is Albert Canfield's. It has a strong research base, uses clear language, reports in percentiles, and helps stude.

You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently .docxkenjordan97598
You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently been assigned to lead the appeal of a man convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death.
The defendant has never had an IQ test, but friends and family insist that he has always been a little “slow“ his entire life. He was also diagnosed with autism earlier in his life and many of his former acquaintances thought he had psychiatric problems when they knew him.
These factors were never brought up at trial by the defendant's previous defense team because they wanted to focus on mitigating circumstances surrounding the crime that was committed rather than confusing the issue with too many different defenses.
Based on the Case Study for this week, submit a 6 page case analysis using Microsoft Word that answers the following questions:
How would your team argue during the appeal that the defendant's constitutional rights were violated?
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered mentally retarded under
Atkins v. Virginia
and
Penry v. Lynaugh (1989)
?
Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered insane under
Ford v. Wainwright (1986)
? Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
Do you believe that bringing up the defendant's diagnosis of autism could have aided in the defense in the sentencing phase? Would the contention that he was mentally slow have helped? Provide rationale for your answers.
Identify other aspects of the case not mentioned in the scenario that could benefit the defendant. For instance, consider whether the Supreme Court has found it unconstitutional to apply the death penalty in other circumstances.
If you succeed in your appeal, what would be the next steps to occur?

You are working as an APRN in your local primary care office. The rural town of Maynard has 300 people, a post office, doctor’s office, and a gas station. The primary source of income is farming or driving 45 minutes to a somewhat larger town. With the blizzard coming, all your patients except two have cancelled for the morning. Jose is scheduled at 0900; he is a nine-year-old Hispanic male born in Mexico. He and his family (Mom, Dad, and six siblings, ages six months to 14 years) moved into the area just a few months ago. Jose’s mother reported that he had nearly died at two months after contracting pertussis.
Your final patient of the morning is Irena, a 15-year-old teenage female who lives with her aunt in Maynard. Irena is Romanian and barely speaks any English. Her aunt has been your patient for the past few years, and she told you that Irena had been abducted in Romania at the age of 10. Irena’s parents found her quite by accident when a sex trafficking ring dumped all their “product” in a refugee camp in Serbia just a few months ago. Irena’s parents are still in Romania, but they sent Irena here to live with her aunt.

You are the new Public Information Officer (PIO) assigned by the Chief of Police. You work for a mid-sized metropolitan police agency that has always relied on the utilization of a city information officer for any media or public communication. Until now, your agency never had an assigned public information officer specifically for the police department. Your agency is growing and is expected to add an additional 25 patrol officers in the next two years.
These added officer positions are in addition to a newly created Federal Task Force, where two new detective positions were added. These positions will create a larger budget for the police department and you have been informed that taxpayers are not necessarily receptive to these costs. As the new PIO, you are required to submit a written communication plan to the Chief of Police detailing how you would draft public notification of the departmental growth and change, reassignments of patrol areas, and overall agency changes occurring in relation to these positions.
Write
a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that addresses the following:
Describe the genre of communication you would use such as a paper format, social media, public announcement, press release, or a televised media conference.
If increased social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, required for the departmental growth.
How far ahead of these positions being hired would you relay the message?
What do you do with citizens who communicate an opposition the hiring of additional officer causing extra taxes?
Who are your stakeholders in this public notice?
What are the differing concerns of internal communication versus external communication on this issue?
How often would you follow up on the notification? Quarterly, monthly, or annually?

You are to write a
1050 to 1750 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

Diagnosis: HPV with several condyloma lesions, a vaginal yeast infection, and chlamydia.
She is given a prescription for Chlamydia, and the vulvar lesions, told to follow up in 2 weeks.
How do you approach her and begin the conversation regarding safe sexual practices? What are your thoughts about this young lady? How do you feel about her game? How would you proceed to give her education?

You are working for the Chief of Staff (CoS) for a newly elected Gov.docxkenjordan97598
You are working for the Chief of Staff (CoS) for a newly elected Governor. The governor asked the CoS to research and prepare a 5- to 7-paragraph background briefing (
backgrounder
) that addresses the below question. The CoS will use this background briefing to prepare the Governor and his appointed cybersecurity director as they answer questions from the press and general-public.
You are
not
answering the questions as the governor, rather you are providing the governor the information s/he needs to answer the question.
The question:
As governor, how will your administration improve cybersecurity for the state's Critical Infrastructures?
The CoS asked you to research and prepare a draft for the background briefing. Your draft must provide enough information that the CoS and the Governor understand key terms that you use in your explanations. To that end, your draft briefing must answer the following questions:
What is meant by "cybersecurity" for critical infrastructures?" Give examples of critical infrastructure associated with a specific state.
What is meant by "Threats" (i.e. individual hackers, politically motivated hacktivists, criminal enterprises, and unfriendly "nation state" actors), countermeasures, and safeguards? Explain technical terms and examples.
What are the three most important actions that the governor's administration should take to help improve the security of critical infrastructures in the state? (You should identify and discuss these in greater detail than your response to the first two bullet points.)
Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.

You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently .docxkenjordan97598
You are working at Johnson and Cohen law firm and have recently been assigned to lead the appeal of a man convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death.
The defendant has never had an IQ test, but friends and family insist that he has always been a little “slow“ his entire life. He was also diagnosed with autism earlier in his life and many of his former acquaintances thought he had psychiatric problems when they knew him.
These factors were never brought up at trial by the defendant's previous defense team because they wanted to focus on mitigating circumstances surrounding the crime that was committed rather than confusing the issue with too many different defenses.
Based on the Case Study for this week, submit a 6 page case analysis using Microsoft Word that answers the following questions:
How would your team argue during the appeal that the defendant's constitutional rights were violated?
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered mentally retarded under
Atkins v. Virginia
and
Penry v. Lynaugh (1989)
?
Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
What evidence would be required for your defendant to be considered insane under
Ford v. Wainwright (1986)
? Assess whether or not that evidence can be presented in this case.
Do you believe that bringing up the defendant's diagnosis of autism could have aided in the defense in the sentencing phase? Would the contention that he was mentally slow have helped? Provide rationale for your answers.
Identify other aspects of the case not mentioned in the scenario that could benefit the defendant. For instance, consider whether the Supreme Court has found it unconstitutional to apply the death penalty in other circumstances.
If you succeed in your appeal, what would be the next steps to occur?

You are working as an APRN in your local primary care office. The rural town of Maynard has 300 people, a post office, doctor’s office, and a gas station. The primary source of income is farming or driving 45 minutes to a somewhat larger town. With the blizzard coming, all your patients except two have cancelled for the morning. Jose is scheduled at 0900; he is a nine-year-old Hispanic male born in Mexico. He and his family (Mom, Dad, and six siblings, ages six months to 14 years) moved into the area just a few months ago. Jose’s mother reported that he had nearly died at two months after contracting pertussis.
Your final patient of the morning is Irena, a 15-year-old teenage female who lives with her aunt in Maynard. Irena is Romanian and barely speaks any English. Her aunt has been your patient for the past few years, and she told you that Irena had been abducted in Romania at the age of 10. Irena’s parents found her quite by accident when a sex trafficking ring dumped all their “product” in a refugee camp in Serbia just a few months ago. Irena’s parents are still in Romania, but they sent Irena here to live with her aunt.

You are the new Public Information Officer (PIO) assigned by the Chief of Police. You work for a mid-sized metropolitan police agency that has always relied on the utilization of a city information officer for any media or public communication. Until now, your agency never had an assigned public information officer specifically for the police department. Your agency is growing and is expected to add an additional 25 patrol officers in the next two years.
These added officer positions are in addition to a newly created Federal Task Force, where two new detective positions were added. These positions will create a larger budget for the police department and you have been informed that taxpayers are not necessarily receptive to these costs. As the new PIO, you are required to submit a written communication plan to the Chief of Police detailing how you would draft public notification of the departmental growth and change, reassignments of patrol areas, and overall agency changes occurring in relation to these positions.
Write
a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that addresses the following:
Describe the genre of communication you would use such as a paper format, social media, public announcement, press release, or a televised media conference.
If increased social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, required for the departmental growth.
How far ahead of these positions being hired would you relay the message?
What do you do with citizens who communicate an opposition the hiring of additional officer causing extra taxes?
Who are your stakeholders in this public notice?
What are the differing concerns of internal communication versus external communication on this issue?
How often would you follow up on the notification? Quarterly, monthly, or annually?

You are to write a 1050 to 1750 word literature review (in a.docxkenjordan97598
You are to write a
1050 to 1750 word literature review
(in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

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

Mid-term Exam
Dr. Pratt
1.)Describe the changes that you believe colleges will need to
make over the next 3-7 years to adapt to the following groups in
order to be effective in facilitating emotional, physical,
intellectual, social, and spiritual development: Homelanders,
Millenial students, and Adult learners.
In the next few years colleges will need to
change to the learning styles of new generations such as
Homelanders, Millenial students, and adult learners. Virtual
assistants, flipped classrooms and the quantified self are three
of the six technological developments that will have a
significant impact on higher education within the next five
years. Instructors have presented information by lecture since
Socrates to the benefit only of linguistic learners. If you're
visual or hands-on you've been teacher disabled. Helping
students learn according to their learning styles and multiple
intelligence preference is finally becoming accepted as an
instructional strategy. Many students naturally learn how to
learn when they realize they learn better from one resource or
strategy over another. For many learners, this concept is too
refined or it flies in the face of the teacher authority. Young
children like to learn with hands-on methods, but the system
quickly moves them to learn by listening. Parents try to help by
pointing to smart students and suggesting that their offspring
emulate the learning strategies that work for others. Following
the path set by others won't work. In fact, we all learn
2. differently. It's a wise parent and facilitative instructor who
realizes this and helps the student identify their strategies to
meet it. As we work extensively in technology, we see that
learners now have access to a variety of instructional strategies.
In many cases, the learner selects the path to the strategy. The
search for knowledge becomes the learner's intrinsic reward,
rather than an extrinsic reward provided by external authority.
This may make the learner more motivated because they find it
easier to learn. Research in learning technologies may
eventually show us that students learn more quickly and deeply
so that they apply the information and solve problems. A school
can be in the worst neighborhood, but a satellite dish on the
roof and fast Internet access on ten classroom computers,
positively impacts learning. It could be that we're saving
generations of children. Many learning style models exist; my
favorite is Albert Canfield's. It has a strong research base, uses
clear language, reports in percentiles, and helps students and
their instructors understand learning preferences. Teachers who
take the Canfield frequently have an funny experience as they
realize why they haven't connected with students - their
teaching style is out of phase with their students' learning
styles.
2.) Discuss the importance of having a basic understanding of
student development theories and outline which theory or
theories (at least 1 theory for each group and 2 or more for at
least 2 of the groups) you believe are useful for the Higher
Education Administrator in relation to: Traditional Students,
Minority/Ethnic Groups, Non-Traditional Students,
Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender, Men/Women,
Faculty/Administrator Relationships.
Theories provide a background for a strong understanding of
how students develop. Many student affairs professionals
overall rarely acknowledge the gender identity issues faced by
transgender students. Academic advisors should learn about
transgender issues if they are to truly assist all students.
Advisors can educate themselves by visiting LGBT campus
3. offices, where available, and participating in Safe Zone ally
training to learn about tools needed to support LGBT students.
A list of campuses that offer Safe Zone training can be found at.
Additionally, there are several websites devoted to transgender
issues where advisors can learn more about transgender
individuals, including the National Center for Transgender
Equality the Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource
Professionals and the Human Rights Campaign . It is important
for academic advisors to remember that transgender students
need and deserve access to good quality academic advice.
Therefore, advisors should deliver the same high quality
advising services to transgender students that they provide to
the rest of their students development theories can be useful in a
variety of areas of Student Affairs, from understanding how to
best handle situations that may arise and also how to make
improvements in educational policy that put students' need at
the forefront of such advancements. Different theories are
associated with certain groups of people. I believe all groups
have a relation with the Chickering’s Theory, because it
involves identity. By knowing how they grew up, you can better
help their minds. Cass’s theory and 6 stages are very important
to understand when dealing with Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender
students. Cass’s stages include a mental component, reflecting
how individuals view themselves, and an affective component,
indicating how they feel about their own perceptions. In which
each element is on a variety and exists in interaction but a
relationship with other elements. Schlossberg’s Theory is very
important when dealing with faculty/administrator relationships
and non-traditional students because it helps adults in transition
and aid them in connecting to the help they need to cope with
the “ordinary and extraordinary process of living.”
3.) Personal Questions to be answered as if you were applying
for a job in Higher Education (Be sure to include title of the job
and basic job description):
If people who are supportive of your work and those who are
4. not as supportive of your work were randomly called, what
would they be likely to say about your strengths and areas for
improvement? (Sell yourself to me – Dream job right
now)Describe roles you have had in which you have had to
come up with innovative programs/solutions to problems that
demonstrate your entrepreneurial spirit. (Use experiences with
family and friends or as a student if you lack work experience).
What are your experiences and accomplishments in developing,
building, and managing cutting-edge, comprehensive learning,
personal development, student leadership, and responsible
citizenship programs? (Specific examples – clarify the win for
each of these-how did you know were effective) What was the
biggest failure you’ve ever experienced? – this can be an
activity or some type of job or personal experience… (Why did
it fail? What did you learn? Have you attempted something
similar since? Why or Why Not? (If so, what was the result?)
My job in my country is curriculum management in the ministry
of education, I also would like to develop curriculums for the
department of education. I worked for ten years in the
development committee as an observer administrative
commissioner and also overseeing the development of an
academic staff. I have many ideas to help my country academics
but they have a major issue with new ideas and they do not want
anything to change. I hope to get a job in the ministry of higher
education. There are many things that can be improved on, for
example the technology is not available in our schools to help
teachers or students learn. Also, many years ago they had a
problem with renting buildings for the schools, colleges, and
universities to be held in. Now the ratio has decreased from
61% to 1%. I love America school system. I have gain a lot of
knowledge in many ways to teach the students from being in
America. I hope to carry this style of teaching to my country to
improve the school system. I would also develop a scholarship
program to help develop students and the entire education
program in my country. I have a very wide knowledge, good
personality, kind heart, and great patience where I can
5. accomplish these task fast and efficiently. Usually if I do not
complete a goal, it is just from a lack of time or understanding
or not asking enough questions. If I have a great understanding,
I have good time frame, and know my direction, I can complete
any goal or task. I am very ambitious and driven, I feel I will be
a great leader to help change and advance my countries
educational system.
4.)Provide your personal understanding of why colleges exist
and what the “take-aways” should be for graduates. (How
should the entire college experience influence students? What
should students look like, act, and be after their time in the
academy?)
Why were colleges created, is it just to teach students, help
businesses, hire staff. In history, universities were made to
share the knowledge about the God in individuals so that
university graduates might better serve him and their
community. I think college graduates should know about what
major they are studying. But life is so more than just your job.
The students and their parents are rightly concerned about how
to ensure that their investment in postsecondary credentials,
their investment of time and money, really does result in
positive outcomes in both the short and long terms. While it is
clearly worth the investment and even worth going into at least
some debt to achieve students need to know that not all college
degree programs are equal; not all are designed to prepare them
for long-term success. For this reason, students need to know
more about what it actually takes to make the most of their
investment. For their part, college educators need to know
which educational practices and curricular pathways are most
effective in preparing students for success over the long term,
and those pathways must be made much clearer to students and
prospective students. The good news is that the learning
outcomes that best prepare students for success in the workplace
are those that also help students become responsible citizens
and help them navigate their way through a challenging world.
6. The bad news is that while some students achieve these
outcomes at very high levels, others do not—and yet still obtain
degrees or certificates. Moreover, many graduates have what it
takes to succeed, but stumble in how they conduct their job
searches or are inadequately skilled in presenting what they
know and can do as a result of their college experience. This is
one of the reasons why, even in a period of relatively high
unemployment, over half of employers report having difficulty
finding qualified candidates for job openings, and one-third say
that recent graduates are very unprepared for their job searches.
5.) In the article "Cool at 13 Adrift at 23" & "Gallup Surveys
Graduates" a great deal was made about adolescent development
and student wellness/well being. What do you think colleges
can/should do to assist these psuedomature individuals in
developing in the five areas of significance (physical,
emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual)?
The best way to keep students is to suggest a student life
understanding that prepares helps the students to be healthy
physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
That means colleges need to grip wellness as key components to
the schools. Colleges need to focus on best help the health of its
students. Looking at reliable data, it shows that students want to
develop more than their minds in college. The want to
beinvolved in physical activities and also social clubs. Colleges
should have wellness programs outside of class for students to
be in, also they need many social clubs that help them network
with other students. As far as spiritual and emotional help, they
can have certain religious groups to help with getting the
spiritual part of school out to the kids. Believe it or not, all
these ideas will help add to and help re-enforce the intellectual
health of all the students.

8. Introduction
Sustainable development is dependent on the effective function
of the public institutions. The public institutions shape the
living standards of the people. When the public institutions are
successful the people have high quality services raising their
living standards. It is Essential for organizations to identify the
public who affect or are affected by the organizations decision.
An organization cannot function alone and it requires the
support of all the stakeholders. A critical element of developing
strategic leadership is the analysis of the stakeholders. It helps
to determine how to strengthen the relationship for optimum
gain (Joyce & JOYCE, 1999, p. 32).
There are two broad types of stakeholders, internal and external
stakeholders. Internal stakeholders impact the organizational
function from within. For instance, employees and board
members are internal stakeholders. External stakeholders
influence the organization from without. Examples of external
stakeholders are communities and the media. They have a stake
in determining the value of the organization. The level of
influence, amount of power, level of interest and capabilities of
the stakeholders vary (Marr & Creelman, 2011, p. 79). They
have strong, moderate or low influence and interests in the
organizational function. Some are highly active while others are
latent and apathetic. It means that the stakeholders cannot be
treated equally in any given project. The have to be classified
into different categories through stakeholder analysis.
Classifying them helps the organization to develop successful
strategies for enhancing the relationships (Joyce & JOYCE,
1999, p. 34).
below is a classification of the internal and external
stakeholders, the influence/interest grid and stakeholders
