Hello!
I will be focusing on the alignment of your instruction and assessment to the state standards and also looking at the rigor you have built into your lesson. Please read the information below about the different parts of a lesson to help you when writing your own lesson plan.
Focus Activity: The Focus Activity typically a 5-10 min activity, discussion, review, video, etc. that serves to focus student attention on the topic of your lesson. It may also include an Anticipatory Set used to “hook” students or create interest in the topic.
Objective Statement: This statement is written using the verbiage you will use with the students.
It should relate to the targeted standard and include a performance behavior to ensure it is measurable. What will you ask students to do or produce to prove they are learning?
Purpose for Learning: Be sure to explain why it is important for students to learn what you are teaching them. I will be looking for you to include real-world application for the skill or content you are teaching about.
Instructional Steps: While my focus is not entirely on the instructional strategies you use, I will be looking at these as a means to assess the rigor of your lesson. Please be
VERY DETAILED in the Instructional Steps section. The idea behind this section is that another teacher would be able to pick up your lesson plan and implement it relatively seamlessly. Include the following in your Instructional Steps:
· Focus Activity and how you will tie it to your standard(s) &/or prior knowledge.
· Direct Instruction/Input – how will you present content? What questions will you ask or how will you guide/scaffold discussion to ensure the standards are being addressed? Remember that the goal is to utilize the Gradual Release Model, i.e. moving from “I do” to “We do” to “You do”. Include your modeling strategy and how you will provide both guided and independent practice for your students as they work towards mastery of the objective. Start with simple questioning during initial instructional input and modeling and lead to more complex critical thinking questions. Questions and activities should always consider and support varying levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. During Independent Practice, students should be working at higher Bloom’s levels and using higher order/critical thinking. To obtain the highest marks, questions and activities should be at the creative, evaluative and/or analysis levels that focus on the objective of the lesson and provoke thought and discussion. Again, be very detailed and include the exact questions you will ask, clarifications you will make to avoid common misconceptions and discussion topics you will introduce.
Questions for Understanding: This is where you will list some examples of the questions you will ask. Remember to include questions at the various levels of Bloom’s. I will be looking for the integration of .

Needs Assessment
1. Demographic profile of the school and student
John, a 6-year-old adolescent is a Hispanic student at Poinciana Elementary School, in Mrs. Vollrath’s classroom. Mrs. Vollrath communicated to me that the student uses English, but he cannot effectively communicate because of the stammering problem. Mrs. Vollrath also stated, John is raised up in a single-family since his father and mother had divorced forcing him to live with his mother alone. The mother is working at the nearby shop where she earns $400 monthly. John is currently having an Individual Education Program (GIS) to help him meet his communication goals. Moreover, John has also been recommended for speech therapy. He started stammering at the age of 6. Later, a psychology assessment established that John was suffering from a serious cognitive disorder. In most cases, he was sad and moody, and sometimes he could withdraw from social situations and become irritable even if no one had annoyed him (Morrison, 2009).

John did not have any listening and writing difficulty as he was able to write using grammar and punctuation expected of his grade level. He was also able to write without struggle, listen to the teacher and peers with ease and complete all tasks and homework as assigned. Nonetheless, the main problem with John was speaking because of stammering. In this respect, John could hardly speak with the teacher and fellow students with fluency. He was also unable to can fluently read grade-level texts and could not demonstrate comprehension of grade-level texts as well.

Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
For History 105: Dr. Stansbury’s classes (6 pages here)
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is Monday at 9am Eastern time, Jan. 21. But, due to the King holiday, no late penalty will be imposed if submitted by the end of Jan. 22.
[NOTE ON ECREE: The university is adopting a tool, called ecree for doing writing assignments in many classes. We will be using the ecree program for doing our papers in this class. More instructions on this tool will be posted. You are welcome to type your paper in MS-Word as traditionally done—and then to upload that file to ecree to revise and finish it up. Or, as we suggest, you may type your paper directly into ecree. When using ecree, you should use CHROME as your browser. As posted: “Please note that ecree works best in Firefox and Chrome. Please do not use Internet Explorer or mobile devices when using ecree.”]
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER: After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Topic and Thesis Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:
· Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did not). Use specific examples of policies or movements from different decades to support your position.
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows with the four parts below (see TIPS sheet and TEMPLATE also), handling these issues:
1. The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph. [usually this is one paragraph with thesis statement being the last sentence of the paragraph.]
2. To support your position, use thre.

Assess this in terms of the eight (8) elements of the sense-making framework suggested by Helms Mills and as set out in Table 9.7:
Identity construction
Social sense-making
Extracted cues
Ongoing sense-making
Retrospection
Plausibility
Enactment
Projection

Assignment 1 Discussion—Environmental FactorsIn this assignment, .docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1: Discussion—Environmental Factors
In this assignment, you will have a chance to discuss a topic that brings personality theory together with social psychology. Dealing with unhealthy groups like gangs or cults is an important issue in social psychology. However, you cannot fully address this issue if you do not first understand personality development and how one’s personality affects the choices that are made. Specifically, you will look at Skinner’s behavioral perspective on personality development and discuss how that theory can play a role in this issue of unhealthy groups.
Bob is an adolescent who grew up in a gang-infested part of a large city. His parents provided little supervision while he was growing up and left Bob mostly on his own. He developed friendships with several kids in his neighborhood who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined a gang himself. Now crime and gang activities are a way of life for Bob. These have become his way to identify with his peer group and to support himself.
It is relatively easy to see that Bob’s environment has played a large role in his current lifestyle. This coincides with Skinner’s concept of environment being the sole determinant of how personality develops. Skinner believed that if you change someone’s environment and the reinforcements in that environment, you can change their behavior.
Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research Skinner’s concept of the environment and answer the following questions:
If you were to create an environment for Bob to change his behavior from that of a gang member to a respectable and law-abiding citizen, what types of environmental changes and positive reinforcements would you suggest and why?
What are some interventions that are used in the field currently? Are there any evidence-based programs that use these environmental and reinforcement interventions?
Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 1 Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstructi.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1:
Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points
After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:
Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did not). Use specific examples of policies or movements from different decades to support your position.
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:
The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use three (3) specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?
Length: The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length.
Research and References: You must use a
MINIMUM of three sources
; the Schultz textbook must be one of them. Your other two sources should be drawn from the list provided below. This is guided research, not open-ended Googling.

Assignment 1: Due Monday 9/23/19
By using linear and nonlinear methods of listening, the counselor can respond in meaningful ways which can create a healthy therapeutic alliance. During the assessment, the client will often provide a wealth of information. It is the job of the counselor to listen in order to identify needs, resources, strengths and abilities. The counselor may pick up on gaps in the client's story during the assessment. This is likely because the client will tell the conscious part of the story. However, we must also listen to what is NOT being said.
Counselors must consider the unconscious part of the story during the assessment. One way for the counselor to do this is by being mindful of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). How might recognizing ACES:
1) inform the counselor during the assessment?
2) guide goal development for the treatment episode?
3) affect the clients readiness to change?

Assignment 1
This assignment is due in Module 8. There are many variations on WebQuests. Please make sure you follow these instructions and not those listed in the textbook. Although, reading the texts and learning another variation will only benefit you in the future. This assignment is worth 100 points.
1. Find a good website in which you can use for the exercise. If you want your students to learn more about zoo animals, then maybe you should locate your local zoo website and use it as a source. Make sure you choose a site that is age appropriate for your students. And please identify which grade and subject level you have chosen in the title.
2. After deciding on a website, create the student instructions for this exercise. Make sure to incorporate aesthetic value (picture). The instructions are very important because you do want your students to be excited about the activity.
3. You will ask the students 10 questions about the site and its information. Be sure the website is clear in its direction and easily navigated so the students can find the information. Create the questions and type them into a Word document with lines for students to use to fill in their answers.
4. After you finish your WebQuest, make sure you include a sheet with the answers to the questions.
5. Save the document as a .doc, .docx, or pdf and submit it via the assignment drop box by clicking on the title of the assignment.

Assignment 2
This assignment is due in Module 9. The objective of this lesson is to utilize the Internet to help clarify/expand upon your teaching, while creating a field trip environment for your students.
There are times when you will not have the funding to take your class on an actual field trip. With the help of technology, you can now visit various sites without leaving the room. For assignment 4, you are going to plan a virtual field trip for your classroom. Think about the grade level, subject area, possible topics for the curriculum that you teach, and appropriate online communication. You must create an original, virtual field trip. You cannot use someone else's field trip. Remember, you can utilize various software (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) to create this field trip, but be careful, it is not a lesson with technology assisted software. The students have to feel like they are truly at the location of the field trip looking at the exhibit, animal, statue, and so forth. There should be no words on the slides because it is not a classroom lesson, it is a field trip.
You will be the tour guide, and everything you plan to say as the guide shoul.

Chapter 1: What Is an
Information System?
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this chapter, you will be
able to:
• define what an information system is by identifying
its major components;
• describe the basic history of information systems;
and
• describe the basic argument behind the article
“Does IT Matter?” by Nicholas Carr.
Introduction
Welcome to the world of information systems, a world that seems to
change almost daily. Over the past few decades information systems
have progressed to being virtually everywhere, even to the point
where you may not realize its existence in many of your daily
activities. Stop and consider how you interface with various
components in information systems every day through different
Chapter 1: What Is an Information
System? | 9
electronic devices. Smartphones, laptop, and personal computers
connect us constantly to a variety of systems including messaging,
banking, online retailing, and academic resources, just to name a
few examples. Information systems are at the center of virtually
every organization, providing users with almost unlimited
resources.
Have you ever considered why businesses invest in technology?
Some purchase computer hardware and software because everyone
else has computers. Some even invest in the same hardware and
software as their business friends even though different technology
might be more appropriate for them. Finally, some businesses do
sufficient research before deciding what best fits their needs. As
you read through this book be sure to evaluate the contents of each
chapter based on how you might someday apply what you have
learned to strengthen the position of the business you work for, or
maybe even your own business. Wise decisions can result in stability
and growth for your future enterprise.
Information systems surround you almost every day. Wi-fi
networks on your university campus, database search services in
the learning resource center, and printers in computer labs are
good examples. Every time you go shopping you are interacting
with an information system that manages inventory and sales. Even
driving to school or work results in an interaction with the
transportation information system, impacting traffic lights,
cameras, etc. V.
ASSIGNMENT 1TASK FORCE COMMITTEE REPORTISSUE AND SOLUTI.docxdeanmtaylor1545
ASSIGNMENT 1
TASK FORCE COMMITTEE REPORT:
ISSUE AND SOLUTIONS
Due Week 4, worth 150 points
Leaders address issues and propose solutions. As a leader, you’ll need to stay
on top of events that may facilitate or hinder productivity. You must create and
implement solutions to address these issues.
This assignment exposes you to complex modern organizational challenges.
The solutions you devise should reflect your learning and research of organiza-
tional and individual influences in the workplace.
PREPARATION
1. Select an organization
Select an organization in which current events have adversely affected
productivity, requiring management to resolve an issue related to:
corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork, and
developing motivational strategies. The organization should be one
with which you are familiar — where you work now or have worked
previously (business, nonprofit, government, or military). You may also
consider other organizations in the news, such as Macy’s for the retail
industry, United for the airline industry, Wells Fargo for the banking
industry, etc. The focus is on finding solutions, but you should be
somewhat familiar with the organization or industry.
2. Plan your research
Use research from the course textbook, company website, business
websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library,
or outside resources to develop solutions to the following questions as
they relate to corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork,
and developing motivational strategies to achieve the organization's
goals and objectives. Your recommendations must be fully articulated
and supported with appropriate detail and sources. Note: Wikipedia
and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.
INSTRUCTIONS
Imagine yourself as the task force committee leader at this organization. You
have been tasked with analyzing hindrances to organizational efficiency. You
must propose strategic solutions.
Create a full report in which you do the following:
1. Describe the Organization and the Issue to Resolve
Provide a brief description of the organization you selected. Present
the organizational issue that adversely affected productivity and that
you, the task force leader, will review and resolve.
2. Analyze Current Corporate Culture
How has the current corporate culture facilitated the development of
the current issue? Research the organization, dig into the culture, and
analyze how it contributed to this issue. Hint: Review the mission and
vision statements as well as the corporate website.
3. Identify Areas of Weakness
What are the organization’s areas of weakness? Using your research
on organizational behavior approaches to corporate culture, diversity,
teamwork, and motivational strategies, identify areas of weakness.

Assignment 1
Select one of these three philosophers (Rousseau, Locke, Hobbes) and write a 1 page paper in which you analyze the significant ways in which their ideas differ from those at work in modern democracies. What could we gain from following their ideas more closely, and what might be dangerous if we did so?
assignment 2
In the workplace, we may hear a statement, joke, or remark that is unkind or inappropriate. Often the speaker might appear to do so in a way that is not intended to offend, but comes from other experiences or lack of awareness as to how they may be received.
It is up to you as a manager to set the tone for how these comments are countered in order to create an inclusive environment.
Choose
one
of the statements below (clearly identify in your work which statement you chose).
"We don't serve
those
people here." (Reference to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender clients)
"He should go back to his
own country."
(Reference to someone of a different race)
"She just slows us down." (Reference to a disabled worker)
"Why doesn't he retire already!" (Reference to an older employer)
In a 2 page paper, suggest some ways in which you would professionally respond if you heard the comment by your subordinate in the employee lounge. Include how you might approach the employee (immediately, privately etc.). Provide specific comments that you might use in your discussion and consider how the individual might defend their actions. What further conversation might this lead to?
Explain the ethical and legal (if any) implications if statements such as the one you chose would continue. What might be lost in your workplace if the statements are allowed?
Include at least one resource you could use to help your conversation. Identify whether there is a legal guideline to share with your employee.
assignment 3

Review the Sherwood Manufacturing case again, and in a 2 page paper include the following:
Provide two or more detailed alternatives (regarding Miranda not being considered for the promotion) for Bob and Kelly to consider. Compare and contrast the alternatives, identifying the expected outcome of each.
What are the legal guidelines and ethical implications to consider?
What form of discrimination (individual, structural, or institutional), if any, do you believe is taking place at Sherwood Manufacturing?
assignment 4

Review the Sherwood Manufacturing case again and consider what you have learned about organizational cultures respecting diversity. In a 2 page paper:
Describe the elements of an organizational culture and how it might impact an organization to be considered inclusive.
Next, describe what you believe Sherwood's organizational culture is currently.
Finally, consider what you believe would be an "ideal" inclusive organizational culture for Sherwood. Be specific and include as many aspects of the culture as possible.
Include what steps could be taken.

A mother takes her four-year-old to the pediatrician reporting she’s worried about the girl’s hearing. The doctor runs through a battery of tests, checks in the girl’s ears to be sure everything looks good, and makes notes in the child’s folder. Then, she takes the mother by the arm. They move together to the far end of the room, behind the girl. The doctor whispers in a low voice to the concerned parent: “Everything looks fine. But, she’s been through a lot of tests today. You might want to take her for ice cream after this as a reward.” The daughter jerks her head around, a huge grin on her face, “Oh, please, Mommy! I love ice cream!” The doctor, speaking now at a regular volume, reports, “As I said, I don’t think there’s any problem with her hearing, but she may not always be choosing to listen.”
Hearing
is something most everyone does without even trying. It is a physiological response to sound waves moving through the air at up to 760 miles per hour. First, we receive the sound in our ears. The wave of sound causes our eardrums to vibrate, which engages our brain to begin processing. The sound is then transformed into nerve impulses so that we can perceive the sound in our brains. Our auditory cortex recognizes a sound has been heard and begins to process the sound by matching it to previously encountered sounds in a process known as
auditory association
.
[1]
Hearing has kept our species alive for centuries. When you are asleep but wake in a panic having heard a noise downstairs, an age-old self-preservation response is kicking in. You were asleep. You weren’t listening for the noise—unless perhaps you are a parent of a teenager out past curfew—but you hear it. Hearing is unintentional, whereas
listening
(by contrast) requires you to pay conscious attention. Our bodies hear, but we need to employ intentional effort to actually listen.
“Hearing Mechanics”
by Zina Deretsky. Public domain.
We regularly engage in several different types of listening. When we are tuning our attention to a song we like, or a poetry reading, or actors in a play, or sitcom antics on television, we are listening for pleasure, also known as
appreciative listening
. When we are listening to a friend or family member, building our relationship with another through offering support and showing empathy for her feelings in the situation she is discussing, we are engaged in
relational listening
. Therapists, counselors, and conflict mediators are trained in another level known as
empathetic or therapeutic listening
. When we are at a political event, attending a debate, or enduring a salesperson touting the benefits of vario.

Essay: Nuclear Proliferation
The proliferation of nuclear weapons is closely monitored by the international community. While the international community formally recognizes only five nuclear powers - the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom - it is widely acknowledged that at least four others (India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan) currently possess nuclear weapons and one other (Iran) is attempting to develop nuclear weapons capabilities.
Describe the current international regime governing the development of nuclear weapons, including the major agreements and treaties controlling nuclear technology. Explain why the international community generally seeks to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. (500-750 words)

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Instructional and Engagement Strategies
?
I will keep my student engaged in my read aloud by giving my
students a secret way to answer questions. This is great for my
students who are afraid to answer questions.
I will use think pair share which is a good way to have the kids
develop their own thoughts before discussing it with partners. I
teach second grade, and although, I will also have partners read
a section, think about a question or prompt on their own and
then discuss with their partner. I’ll also have them write a
response in a journal or sticky note before sharing with the
partner. I then have students share their responses with the class
for a deeper discussion.”
I will encourage both reading and writing with Interactive
Reading Journals. Students use prose, lists, diagrams, etc. to
express their ideas, questions and feelings about what they read
9. On one side, during their first reading, they write questions, one
per page. (You can give them sentence stems or verbs to make
their questions higher-order.) On a second reading (often a
partner read,) they pass their journals around and answer each
others’ questions. I participate with my own journal as well. My
students are ELLs, and I usually sit by a few of the lower ones
and transcribe their questions, so others can read them.
