Understanding the
Motivational Contingencies
of Team Leadership
D. Scott DeRue1, Christopher M. Barnes2,
and Frederick P. Morgeson3
Abstract
Despite increased research on team leadership, little is known about the
conditions under which coaching versus directive forms of team leader-
ship are more effective, or the processes through which team leadership
styles influence team outcomes. In the present study, the authors found that
coaching leadership was more effective than directive leadership when the
team leader was highly charismatic and less effective than directive leader-
ship when the team leader lacked charisma. Directive leadership was more
effective than coaching leadership when team members were high in
self-efficacy and less effective than coaching leadership when team members
lacked self-efficacy. The moderating effects of leader charisma and team
member self-efficacy were mediated through motivational pathways involving
team member effort.
Keywords
teams, leadership, motivation
A growing body of research highlights how important leader behaviors are
for team performance (DeRue, Nahrgang, Wellman, & Humphrey, in press;
622 Small Group Research 41(5)
Druskat & Wheeler, 2003; Durham, Knight, & Locke, 1997). In fact, Zaccaro,
Rittman, and Marks (2001) suggest that effective leadership is one of the
more important factors in the success of organizational teams. Yet at the same
time, we still have a limited understanding of how leaders create and manage
effective teams (Burke et al., 2006; Kozlowski, Gully, Salas, & Cannon-
Bowers, 1996; Zaccaro et al., 2001).
Research indicates that team leaders engage in a variety of behaviors
aimed at facilitating team functioning and performance (Morgeson, DeRue,
& Karam, 2010). One approach involves encouraging the team to manage its
own affairs and developing the team’s capacity to function effectively with-
out direct intervention from the team leader. First identified by Manz and
Sims (1987), and later analyzed by many other scholars (e.g., Hackman &
Wageman, 2005; Morgeson, 2005; Wageman, 2001), this form of leadership
focuses on coaching the team and empowering its self-management. This
coaching form of leadership is particularly important given that team leaders
are sometimes external to a team and not involved in its daily task activities.
Using in-depth interviews and survey-based research, Manz and Sims found
that team leaders who encourag.

Small Group Lesson
I am highly satisfied with the lesson plan, particularly because it yielded the desired results proving that it was carefully crafted right from the beginning. My goal at the end of the lesson was to offer a good learning experience to the learners, and I achieved that. I was able to put into perspective all the factors which played a huge role in influencing the learning outcomes of the learners in the small group. I executed the lesson plan effectively. I engaged the learners and strengthened their understanding of the course content. By sharing the lesson plan with the learners through highlighting a visible agenda on the board about what they will be learning and doing during class time, I was able to keep them on track. I made a conscious effort to maintain eye contact in class, and this enhanced the involvement of the learners with the course content. I conveyed the content and instructions in a clear and specific manner so that the learners with poor listening comprehension were not left behind.
When attempting to put a point across in class, I ensured that my voice was loud enough and clear. This, coupled with the developed rules and regulations, enabled me to successfully maintain a degree of order and control in the class, and fully grasped the attention of the learners. Using relevant examples and analogies to demonstrate the mathematical concepts was successful as the learners were able to understand the topic more. I also succeeded in building a rapport with the learners thanks to the warm and friendly class atmosphere that I created. Additionally, I was successful in time management. I did not run out of time as all that I had planned to cover was completed within the stipulated timeline. Using a collaborative approach for teaching also succeeded in boosting involvement among all the learners. In regard to the improvements, apart from winding up the lesson by simply summarizing the main points learned, it would be a good idea to conclude by also previewing the next lesson. This means briefly striking a connection between the finished concept and the next coming concept. A combination of summarizing and previewing would spur the interest of the learners in the coming lesson and enable them to connect the various ideas within a much larger context.
The other improvement would have been establishing strategies to obtain learners’ feedback in order to gather insight into any shortcomings in my teaching technique. The lesson plan was effectively assessed since I had created several productive questions for each learning concept which I was to use to check for understa.

Small Group Discussion Guiding Principles
The ideas and beliefs underpinning the small group discussions (GDs) guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of GDs provides students with opportunities to contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The GD’s ebb and flow is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship. Participation in the GDs generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. GDs foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines.
Participation Guidelines
Each weekly group discussion is worth a maximum of 50 points. Students must post a minimum of four times in each discussion. One of these posts must be a summary of learning for the week. The initial response to the discussion prompt must be posted by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT, of each week. Each of the subsequent posts must occur on days following the initial response. The final posting deadline for all subsequent posts is by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week. For week 8 only, subsequent posts must occur by the Saturday deadline-11:59 pm MT. If the student does not meet the Wednesday posting deadline for the initial posting, a late penalty is applied of 5 points. Not meeting the requirements for subsequent postings, either in number or deadline, will result in a loss of 5 points.
Group Discussion Responses
Small group discussions provide the opportunity for deep exploration and new knowledge discovery of course topics. This type of exploration requires synthesis of various sources of information. Responses in group discussions should be substantive, reflect the student’s personal position on the topic, thoroughly address the information being asked for by the prompt, and include insights based on others’ postings. Direct quotes in group discussions should be a rare occurrence. These are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under Scholarliness and/or Course Knowledge rubric categories.

Week 6 – Draft Research Paper

Abstract
It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities.
How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability
Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability.
Getting to Understand the Business Liability
Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report
I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

SLP- IT Governance Dashboards, which display data using graphi.docx
SLP- IT Governance
Dashboards, which display data using graphics, have become commonplace. They are used for many applications, such as showing voter turnout in different states during national elections. The first informational dashboards were used in early automobiles and featured gauges to indicate speed and mileage. Current automobile dashboards have become digital and can tell us much more about car performance than just miles per hour and distance traveled.
The dashboard concept is now used to render large amounts of data into a form that can be easily interpreted. Often, dashboards are interactive to allow the user to change some of the data inputs and displays. The Web now abounds in dashboards. The news media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are big on them.
The following dashboard was powered by live election results in the 2016 presidential election: www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president
Describe another website (not about elections) that provides an example of a dashboard that can be used in Business Intelligence or in other areas to inform the viewer. Describe the data in the dashboard and discuss how the information is provided in the dashboard.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Provide a link to a digital dashboard used for Business Intelligence. Provide details on how the digital dashboard is used and your impression of the effectiveness of the dashboard. This should take 2 to 3 pages.

León’s First Queen
Alfonso VI married his daughter to
Alfonso I of Aragon.
Urraca was already a widow, with a
legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104
named… Alfonso.
Ruled the kingdom from
1109-1126.
Incest makes the world go round
The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins.
Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins.
Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”.
What is more important… political expediency or Church approval?
Unhappy Marriage
Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids.
Urraca said Alfonso beat her, and she used this as grounds for separation.
Alfonso said Urraca was an adulteress, and blamed her scandalous sexuality on her polygamous father.
Urraca as Queen
Alfonso el Batallador
King of Aragon from 1104-1134
Conquered Zaragoza in 1118, more than doubling the size of Aragon.
Military man, uninterested in family

Church councils began placing restrictions on combat, forbidding fighting on Sundays, holidays (Holy Days), and anywhere near churches.
Spiritual sanctions were used to enforce this– excommunication.
The Reform movement in Iberia
Cluniac monasteries
Cluniac bishops: Toledo, Valencia
Around 1100 the Kingdom of León abandoned its traditional mass (known as the Mozarabic mass) in favor of the Roman mass, on Alfonso VI’s orders.
Beginning in the eleventh century, the papacy began taking greater interest in Iberian affairs… for example, condemning the incestual marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon.
Gregory VII
Pope 1073-1085
Aggressively promoted the rights of the Church over secular rulers– he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor (King of Germany)
Imagined harnessing the power of a united Christendom, under papal control, which could do all sorts of great things, like conquer the Holy Land!

Study objectives: Our study explored if bedtimes influenced school performance and motivation, as well
as the odds ratio (OR) for health-related concerns in adolescents.
Methods: The School Health Promotion Study was based on an anonymous self-report questionnaire con-
ducted in 90% of the municipalities in Finland. The study was conducted during 2008 and 2010 in South-
ern Finland, Eastern Finland, and Lapland, and during 2009 and 2011 in Western Finland, Northern
Finland, and Åland. Several indicators were used to measure school performance and motivation. Acci-
dents and health-related complaints, such as depressive symptoms, sleep quality, neck or shoulder pains,
lower back pains, stomachaches, anxiety or nervousness, irritation or tantrums, headaches, and tiredness
or dizziness were analyzed in relation to the usual bedtime. Our study had a relatively large sample size
(N = 384,076), consisting of students in the eighth and the ninth grades of secondary schools and the first
and the second grades of upper secondary and vocational schools (ages 14–20 years) in Finland.
Results: All of the various indicators used to assess school performance and motivation suggest that the
later the bedtime of adolescents, the lower their school performance and their motivation. Similarly later
bedtimes increase the OR for depressive symptoms and other negative health consequences in adoles-
cents as well as a tendency towards accidents. All of these problems were emphasized in students with
bedtimes of 11:30 PM and later.
Conclusions: Late bedtimes, especially those after 11:30 PM, indicate poor sleep w.
Slavin and Schunk (2021) posit that intentional teachers, both i.docx
Slavin and Schunk (2021) posit that intentional teachers, both individually and collaboratively, purposefully create ways to foster learning and to meet the needs of each one of their students.
The word “intentional” is very profound. It implies that one takes the initiative to purposefully carry out a task for an intended objective. When it comes to individuals with exceptionalities and diverse needs, some individuals warmly embrace these individuals and welcome them into their classrooms while others do not for a myriad of reasons.
In this module you are studying about learner differences and individuals with exceptionalities. When Germany was under the Nazi regime the phrase "life unworthy of life" (in German: "Lebensunwertes Leben") was used since some felt that some individuals had no right to live. There were times throughout history that people felt that individuals with disabilities or diverse needs should be treated differently. When you examine the realities of history, the power of language, and the ethical or unethical behaviors surrounding caring for and educating individuals with differences, it provides a deeper understanding as to why laws have been created throughout the years to promote ethical practices and to cultivate effective learning opportunities for all individuals. It is essential for educators and future leaders to have an understanding of history, critically analyze it through a biblical lens, and determine how to approach, nurture, and educate these individuals with diverse and special needs. Review the 1968 documentary, "Suffer the Little Children: Pennhurst Pennsylvania State Home for Disabled Children."
Regarding what happened at Pennhurst:
How does this affect you as an educator, aspiring educator, and individual now, and in what ways has your own attitude and language changed over the years?
What is a biblical approach to welcoming, nurturing, and educating learners with diverse needs or exceptionalities that you can intentionally apply in your own life?

Sleep & Memory/Review
Sleep, dreams, and memory consolidation:
The role of the stress hormone cortisol
Jessica D. Payne and Lynn Nadel1
The University of Arizona, Department of Psychology, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA
We discuss the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory, proposing that the content of dreams reflects
aspects of memory consolidation taking place during the different stages of sleep. Although we acknowledge the
likely involvement of various neuromodulators in these phenomena, we focus on the hormone cortisol, which is
known to exert influence on many of the brain systems involved in memory. The concentration of cortisol escalates
over the course of the night’s sleep, in ways that we propose can help explain the changing nature of dreams across
the sleep cycle.
There is currently no convincing explanation for why we dream
or what we dream about. In this article we propose an approach
to dreaming that focuses on the relationship between sleep and
memory. We suggest that dreams reflect a biological process of
long-term memory consolidation, serving to strengthen the neural
traces of recent events, to integrate these new traces with older
memories and previously stored knowledge, and to maintain the
stability of existing memory representations in the face of subse-
quent experience (Winson 1985, 2002, 2004; Kali and Dayan 2004).
It is generally assumed that long-term memory consolida-
tion involves interactions among multiple brain systems, modu-
lated by various neurotransmitters and neurohormones. We pro-
pose that the characteristics of dreams are best understood in the
context of this neuromodulatory impact on the brain systems
involved in memory consolidation. Although a number of neu-
rotransmitters and neurohormones are likely involved, we focus
our attention in particular on the stress hormone cortisol, which
has widespread effects on memory during waking life through its
impact on many of the critical brain structures implicated in
memory function.
Our hypothesis, briefly stated, is that variations in cortisol
(and other neurotransmitters) determine the functional status of
hippocampal ↔ neocortical circuits, thereby influencing the
memory consolidation processes that transpire during sleep. The
status of these circuits largely determines the phenomenology of
dreams, providing an explanation for why we dream and of
what. As a corollary, dreams can be thought of as windows onto
the inner workings of our memory systems, at least those of
which we can become conscious.
In addition to exploring these ideas in more detail, we pro-

Week 6 – Draft Research Paper

BLA 310 – Small Business Law

Abstract
It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities.
How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability
Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability.
Getting to Understand the Business Liability
Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report I. INTRODUCTION In this sma.docx
Small Business Consulting Report
I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

SLP- IT Governance Dashboards, which display data using graphi.docx
SLP- IT Governance
Dashboards, which display data using graphics, have become commonplace. They are used for many applications, such as showing voter turnout in different states during national elections. The first informational dashboards were used in early automobiles and featured gauges to indicate speed and mileage. Current automobile dashboards have become digital and can tell us much more about car performance than just miles per hour and distance traveled.
The dashboard concept is now used to render large amounts of data into a form that can be easily interpreted. Often, dashboards are interactive to allow the user to change some of the data inputs and displays. The Web now abounds in dashboards. The news media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are big on them.
The following dashboard was powered by live election results in the 2016 presidential election: www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president
Describe another website (not about elections) that provides an example of a dashboard that can be used in Business Intelligence or in other areas to inform the viewer. Describe the data in the dashboard and discuss how the information is provided in the dashboard.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Provide a link to a digital dashboard used for Business Intelligence. Provide details on how the digital dashboard is used and your impression of the effectiveness of the dashboard. This should take 2 to 3 pages.

León’s First Queen
Alfonso VI married his daughter to
Alfonso I of Aragon.
Urraca was already a widow, with a
legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104
named… Alfonso.
Ruled the kingdom from
1109-1126.
Incest makes the world go round
The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins.
Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins.
Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”.
What is more important… political expediency or Church approval?
Unhappy Marriage
Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids.
Urraca said Alfonso beat her, and she used this as grounds for separation.
Alfonso said Urraca was an adulteress, and blamed her scandalous sexuality on her polygamous father.
Urraca as Queen
Alfonso el Batallador
King of Aragon from 1104-1134
Conquered Zaragoza in 1118, more than doubling the size of Aragon.
Military man, uninterested in family
life. After Urraca died, he remarried,
but never produced an heir.
Fascination with the crusade.
Christendom and Crusade
Church Reform in the Eleventh Century
Cluny
Monastic reform
Church reform
Independence from kings and nobles
Restore the leading role of the church in society
Power of the pope, hierarchy

Peace and Truce of God
Curb the bad behavior of knights, lords, the warrior aristocracy
Limit sinful activity (murder, violence, etc)
Church councils began placing restrictions on combat, forbidding fighting on Sundays, holidays (Holy Days), and anywhere near churches.
Spiritual sanctions were used to enforce this– excommunication.
The Reform movement in Iberia
Cluniac monasteries
Cluniac bishops: Toledo, Valencia
Around 1100 the Kingdom of León abandoned its traditional mass (known as the Mozarabic mass) in favor of the Roman mass, on Alfonso VI’s orders.
Beginning in the eleventh century, the papacy began taking greater interest in Iberian affairs… for example, condemning the incestual marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon.
Gregory VII
Pope 1073-1085
Aggressively promoted the rights of the Church over secular rulers– he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor (King of Germany)
Imagined harnessing the power of a united Christendom, under papal control, which could do all sorts of great things, like conquer the Holy Land!
The Holy Land
Pilgrimage destination since the days of Constantine… Visit the sites of the Bible.
Pilgrimage was very popular in the elventh century… most people visited local holy sites, but the ambitious (or wealthy) might travel to Rome, Santiago or even Jerusalem

The secretary of Gregory VII became Pope Urban II in 1088.

Study objectives: Our study explored if bedtimes influenced school performance and motivation, as well
as the odds ratio (OR) for health-related concerns in adolescents.
Methods: The School Health Promotion Study was based on an anonymous self-report questionnaire con-
ducted in 90% of the municipalities in Finland. The study was conducted during 2008 and 2010 in South-
ern Finland, Eastern Finland, and Lapland, and during 2009 and 2011 in Western Finland, Northern
Finland, and Åland. Several indicators were used to measure school performance and motivation. Acci-
dents and health-related complaints, such as depressive symptoms, sleep quality, neck or shoulder pains,
lower back pains, stomachaches, anxiety or nervousness, irritation or tantrums, headaches, and tiredness
or dizziness were analyzed in relation to the usual bedtime. Our study had a relatively large sample size
(N = 384,076), consisting of students in the eighth and the ninth grades of secondary schools and the first
and the second grades of upper secondary and vocational schools (ages 14–20 years) in Finland.
Results: All of the various indicators used to assess school performance and motivation suggest that the
later the bedtime of adolescents, the lower their school performance and their motivation. Similarly later
bedtimes increase the OR for depressive symptoms and other negative health consequences in adoles-
cents as well as a tendency towards accidents. All of these problems were emphasized in students with
bedtimes of 11:30 PM and later.
Conclusions: Late bedtimes, especially those after 11:30 PM, indicate poor sleep w.

Slavin and Schunk (2021) posit that intentional teachers, both individually and collaboratively, purposefully create ways to foster learning and to meet the needs of each one of their students.
The word “intentional” is very profound. It implies that one takes the initiative to purposefully carry out a task for an intended objective. When it comes to individuals with exceptionalities and diverse needs, some individuals warmly embrace these individuals and welcome them into their classrooms while others do not for a myriad of reasons.
In this module you are studying about learner differences and individuals with exceptionalities. When Germany was under the Nazi regime the phrase "life unworthy of life" (in German: "Lebensunwertes Leben") was used since some felt that some individuals had no right to live. There were times throughout history that people felt that individuals with disabilities or diverse needs should be treated differently. When you examine the realities of history, the power of language, and the ethical or unethical behaviors surrounding caring for and educating individuals with differences, it provides a deeper understanding as to why laws have been created throughout the years to promote ethical practices and to cultivate effective learning opportunities for all individuals. It is essential for educators and future leaders to have an understanding of history, critically analyze it through a biblical lens, and determine how to approach, nurture, and educate these individuals with diverse and special needs. Review the 1968 documentary, "Suffer the Little Children: Pennhurst Pennsylvania State Home for Disabled Children."
Regarding what happened at Pennhurst:
How does this affect you as an educator, aspiring educator, and individual now, and in what ways has your own attitude and language changed over the years?
What is a biblical approach to welcoming, nurturing, and educating learners with diverse needs or exceptionalities that you can intentionally apply in your own life?

Sleep & Memory/Review
Sleep, dreams, and memory consolidation:
The role of the stress hormone cortisol
Jessica D. Payne and Lynn Nadel1
The University of Arizona, Department of Psychology, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA
We discuss the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory, proposing that the content of dreams reflects
aspects of memory consolidation taking place during the different stages of sleep. Although we acknowledge the
likely involvement of various neuromodulators in these phenomena, we focus on the hormone cortisol, which is
known to exert influence on many of the brain systems involved in memory. The concentration of cortisol escalates
over the course of the night’s sleep, in ways that we propose can help explain the changing nature of dreams across
the sleep cycle.
There is currently no convincing explanation for why we dream
or what we dream about. In this article we propose an approach
to dreaming that focuses on the relationship between sleep and
memory. We suggest that dreams reflect a biological process of
long-term memory consolidation, serving to strengthen the neural
traces of recent events, to integrate these new traces with older
memories and previously stored knowledge, and to maintain the
stability of existing memory representations in the face of subse-
quent experience (Winson 1985, 2002, 2004; Kali and Dayan 2004).
It is generally assumed that long-term memory consolida-
tion involves interactions among multiple brain systems, modu-
lated by various neurotransmitters and neurohormones. We pro-
pose that the characteristics of dreams are best understood in the
context of this neuromodulatory impact on the brain systems
involved in memory consolidation. Although a number of neu-
rotransmitters and neurohormones are likely involved, we focus
our attention in particular on the stress hormone cortisol, which
has widespread effects on memory during waking life through its
impact on many of the critical brain structures implicated in
memory function.
Our hypothesis, briefly stated, is that variations in cortisol
(and other neurotransmitters) determine the functional status of
hippocampal ↔ neocortical circuits, thereby influencing the
memory consolidation processes that transpire during sleep. The
status of these circuits largely determines the phenomenology of
dreams, providing an explanation for why we dream and of
what. As a corollary, dreams can be thought of as windows onto
the inner workings of our memory systems, at least those of
which we can become conscious.
In addition to exploring these ideas in more detail, we pro-
vide some background concerning (1) the states of sleep and the
role of various neurotransmitters in switching from one sleep
state to another, (2) how the characteristics of dreams vary as a
function of sleep state, (3) the memory content typically associ-
ated with dreaming in different dream states, and (4) the role of
sleep in the consolidation of memory.
Background to the hypothesis.

Slavery
Essential to economic development of America
· Mostly from Gulf of Guinea in West Africa
· Brought against their will – involuntary immigrants
· By 1660 they were separated by law
Spanish used slavery in their colonies
English had no tradition of slavery
Indentured Servants
Well suited for plantations who needed labor
· Signed up and passage paid to New World
· Worked for 3-7 years
· Also used convicts
Black Servants
Entered Jamestown in 1619
· Treated as indentured servants
1624 New Amsterdam
· New York high numbers with a few slaves but treated as servants and often gained freedom
Indentured servants cheaper than African slaves
· All newcomers had short life expectancies
The Emergence of Slavery
In Chesapeake and South changing laws:
· Servants for life
· Children had status of mother = enslaved
· 1662 Virginia harsh punishment for sex between blacks and whites
· 1682 Christianity not reason to free black servant
Role of Race
· Could make Africans slaves since not protected by English law
· Harder for Africans to escape than white servants
· In economic interest of tobacco planters to make them permanent slave labor
The African Slave Trade
Some whites captured slaves
· Slaves traded for manufactured goods
· Business transactions; not racially oriented
· British, Swedes, Danes, Germans, Brandenburgers
· Slaving was cooperative between Europeans and African
· Mixed-race intermediaries
· Slaves usually captured by enemy tribes
· Voyage to New World for slaves
· Most inhumane aspect of slave trade
· Crammed into ships
· Preceded and followed by overland marches
· High death rates
10 million slaves taken to New world
· 400 thousand to North America
From lands bordering Gulf of Guinea
· Many different language groups
· Stopped at West Indies first to season
Slavery
Emancipation in early Republic
· North uses gradual emancipation
· South sees some support for emancipation
Southerners on slavery and abolition
· South fears moral consequences
· South sees blacks as inferior
· South fears large black population
· South sees themselves as protectors
American Colonization Society
· Encourages owners to free slaves
· Encourages emigration to Liberia (1821)
· Unrealistic due to numbers
· Little support among African Americans
December 1831
· Virginia considers gradual abolition
· Seriously debates issues
· Loses by fairly close margin
· Last rational southern debate on issue
Fear of rebellion
· Haiti revolt, 1798
Nat Turner’s Rebellion – Virginia 1831
· Turner: literate, religious fanatic, slave
· Turner’s visions inspire revolt
· Rebels kill 60 whites; revolt ends
· South becomes terrified of revolts
South protects “peculiar institution”
· South insulated from outside ideas
· South depicts slavery as a positive good
· South reforms slave codes
Suppression
· Distribution of abolitionist literature forbidden
· Passage of “gag rule” in House of Representatives
Slavery as a “positive good”
· “superior labor system”
· John C. Calho.
