Creating a report can be tedious if individual pieces of information cannot be located. Suppose you want to report all of your charitable donations for a year. You know that you donate some amount of money every month, but you cannot find your records for August. How might you handle this missing data so you could come up with a total dollar amount for the year? Justify your method so the IRS would understand that you are following a procedure that would be acceptable in research when screening data.

Regardless of your specific role in the early childhood field, families are a part of your work and each will have a unique family culture. If your belief systems, attitudes, and interactions create an atmosphere in which each family clearly feels welcomed, respected, safe, and empowered, you have accomplished a key professional goal. There is no fool-proof way to bring this about. A significant step, however, is accomplished when you develop a deep level of understanding your own family culture. You will then more likely respond with profound understanding of and respect for every family’s complexity and uniqueness.

With these thoughts in mind, review pp. 1407–1417 of the article “What is Family Diversity” by Harris and then consider the following questions:

Harris, S. R. (2008). What is family diversity? Objective and interpretive approaches. Journal of Family Issues, 29(11), 1407–1417.

What was the “form” of your childhood family?

(Little about me) Divorced parents, have five siblings, my mother was a teacher, catholic, very proper.

What are three key characteristics (e.g., specific behaviors, patterns, traditions, expressions of emotions, values, etc.) of your family culture?

Referring to Harris’ examples of interpretive family diversity: In what ways might people outside your family interpret these unique characteristics differently from you and other family members? Provide at least one example.

In what ways has your family culture influenced you?

Referring to the article Understanding Families and the six family systems characteristics, (i.e., aspects of family culture, discussed): In what ways do any/all of these characteristics continue to affect you and shape your thoughts about yourself and your interactions with others?

What is an example (or examples) of similarity or dissimilarity between your childhood family culture (or your current family culture) and the dominant culture—and in what ways did/do you deal with the resulting feelings of congruence/incongruence?

In what ways does your childhood family culture and/or your current adult family culture influence your professional life?

Referring to Harris’ examples of “objective family diversity”: What insight(s) offered by these examples provided you with a deeper understanding of family diversity—and in what way(s) will this support your work with children and families?

Definition of Critical Thinking

The first reading contained the following definition of critical thinking:

According to the article, Critical Thinking as Defined by the National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking, (http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-cri…), “Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action. (Critical Thinking.org)

This definition uses words with which you may be unfamiliar. For our assignment this week, you will need to write an extended definition of each of the following words and demonstrate how these words apply to the critical thinking process and to your own experiences:

• Conceptualizing
• Analyzing
• Synthesizing

Your assignment this week will be a five-paragraph essay, each paragraph should address the following:

Paragraph One

Begin by writing your own definition of critical thinking. Consider the following questions to guide your definition:

• What does it mean to think critically?
• What is the difference between thinking and thinking critically?
• What do we gain or lose by thinking critically?

Paragraphs Two, Three, and Four

Once you have your definition of critical thinking, look up the definition for each of the three words listed above, and, in a paragraph for each word, use those definitions to describe how each of them apply to your definition of critical thinking. Be sure to identify the source or sources where you found your definitions. If you use any direct words from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.

Paragraph Five

In your concluding paragraph, give an example or examples of a time or times when you applied critical thinking in your own life.

Your completed assignment should be written primarily in first person and should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.

Read this discussion from The Critical Thinking Community:

Here are the questions for Interview 2-

Person Interviewed:____________________

Job Title:_____________________________

Place of Employment:___________________

The first few are descriptive, and your report should provide a narrative based on the conversation, with some of your reaction, reflection, and thought mixed in.

• What are the responsibilities and duties of your job?

• How did you get started in this kind of work?

• What is the typical entry level position and career path for this field?

The next questions should be incorporated into your paper with your own analysis of how this might match to your personality type. It might be a good idea, especially if you haven’t taken a Strong Interest Inventory (or gotten the results) to revisit Rogue Community College’s website, which does a lot with the Strong and Holland Codes. From that site, you can select your dominant domain and find the Holland code for a particular occupation, and compare it to your own. This information can be used to analyze your potential interest in the field for the following questions:

• What kind of personality type do people in this field have or need?

• What is a typical work day like?
• What do you enjoy about your work? (Get details and specifics.)

• What are the major challenges and problems you encounter in your work?

• What other kinds of work do you know about that are similar to yours?

• What is an average starting salary in this field? (you can also find some data to support this on the O-Net, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other sites)

• Where do you expect to be in your career in 5 or 10 years?

For all of these, you should provide a couple of sentences of reflection on why you feel more or less compelled to investigate this line of work and whether you feel this is a direction towards which you can develop a plan for your career- and if not- WHY not.

1 page double spaced. 1 reference (just a relevant article)

No plagiarism, and no paraphraser. Use your own words.

Different between face to face and digital communication. you might elaborate upon some of the pros and cons of both types of communication. Consider sharing some difficult experiences you have had communicating both face-to-face and via some form of technology. How might your communication efforts have been improved? What would the interaction have looked like had you used the opposite model?

 Your reading for this week examines the attributes of successful test instruments. Teachers and companies often need to ask learners or employees for feedback on their level of understanding. Today, Web-based survey instruments are gaining popularity. One tool, in particular, often used by educators is SurveyMonkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com). If you are new to Web-based surveys, the SurveyMonkey site provides a set of tutorial videos.

Using the SurveyMonkey free membership, create a simple survey and share it here (post a link to your survey for other learners to view). Describe your experiences in creating your survey

This discussion provides an opportunity to connect your personalized leadership strengths and motivation with your skills as a leader to further develop into an efficient change agent. Being an effective leader who successfully implements change in a school or other organization can be a challenge! Kouzes and Posner (2007) claimed “leadership is an identifiable set of skills that are available to all of us, not just a few charismatic men and women” (p.20). While this may be true, it takes work and inspiration to learn about yourself and the characteristics that build an effective leader. There are multiple theories that indicate that effective leaders can be cultivated through the deliberate acquisition of certain skills (Senge, 1990). According to Senge (1990, p.3):

…organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.

By cultivating these abilities and knowing our own strengths, we can become leaders who can have a significant impact on our classroom, school site, or other organization. You previously read chapter two of Buczynski and Hansen (2014), which discussed the various types of leadership and the mix of behaviors and other skills that are necessary to be an effective leader. Lord and Hall, as cited in Buczynski and Hansen (p. 57) suggest the “leadership role must become part of one’s self-identity.” Chapter two is an effective source of information for this discussion as well.

Digital poster presentations are increasingly the norm in the field of education as well as other professions. The use of technology in these types of forums is becoming essential in staying updated and competitive in the field. It is essential that you have experience in creating a digital poster presentation. Here you imagine you are presenting a high quality digital presentation to a group of key stakeholders regarding your action research. Therefore, the purpose of this discussion is to link your personalized leadership motivation into your skills as a leader in order to further develop into an efficient change agent. In this case, the change you are instigating is conducted through your action research. This process, in turn, greatly affects your followers, and the organization in which you work. Being motivated to understand and invest in your strengths and areas of challenges greatly informs your practice (Rath & Conchie, 2008).

Initial Post: Imagine you are selected from a large pool of applicants to participate in a distinguished conference poster session focusing on leadership strategies in action research. Your goals are to create a one page digital poster that includes three leadership and motivation themes identified from this week’s readings and your experiences, including a one-sentence explanation of each selected theme, and stating the ways leadership and motivational traits are represented in your action research study. Be sure to design the poster so that it is professional in appearance and therefore appropriate for presentation at the conference poster session. As you create your poster, consider what you have learned about what makes professional presentations effective and appealing to an audience. In this case, there will be well-known authors, experts in the field, and influential participants present including stakeholders in your own action research study. Use Glogster, Word, PowerPoint, or other software of your choice to create the poster and post the link to the flyer in your initial post or attach the poster to your initial post, whichever is most appropriate for the technology you chose.

Discretion and Ethical Decisions week 2 discussion 2

Citizens truly do not want officers who fail to take circumstances into account to apply discretion.  If this were the case, everyone would always get a ticket no matter what the situation.  Is it fair, for instance, to ticket a man driving 10 mph over the speed limit because he is taking his wife, who is delivering a baby, to the hospital that is a mile away?  I think most officers wouldn’t hesitate to forgo the ticket in this situation.  Discretion is difficult to explain, but a necessary aspect of policing.  Kleinig looks at this deeper in his text here:  http://bit.ly/1BiFFGC

What other situations would you most likely use discretion to not strictly enforce the law?  Good comments on the topic in your answer.  

Media Specialists’ Role

In a journal entry, write a self-reflection that addresses the following questions:

• What concerns or reservations do you have about playing a prominent role in curriculum planning?
• How do you feel most teachers will respond to a more active role from the media specialist than what has been traditionally expected?
• Who do you think should initiate such partnerships and should they be mandatory?

Your journal is an informal, reflective piece that does not require citations or APA format.  However, if you choose to use resources, please cite them appropriately

1. What are the most significant issues to consider in “rethinking” homeland security intelligence (and why)? This question is asking for your perspective on the future of HSINT as discussed in the lesson. Share with us the two current limitations or anticipated future challenges in intelligence support to the homeland security enterprise that you chose to address in your final assignment.

2. If you could implement one transnational crime and/or narcotics policy change what would it be and why?

Now that you have been introduced to the broad framework of becoming a culturally competent teacher, it is your challenge to make the connection between differentiating and the prospective impact this concept has in making learning experiences more of a success for students in diverse classrooms.

Watch the following video:

JCPSEmployee. (2012, September 13). Seven Principles for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning (Links to an external site.) [Video file]. Retrieved from

The video refers to the ideologies of becoming a culturally responsive teacher and explores the Seven Principles of Culturally Responsive Teaching.

View the short and informative video, then respond to these questions in relation to the video and your personal experiences in your Discussion Post:

What would you identify as an important outcome of building relationships with your students while focusing on a culturally inviting environment that is physically safe, while also providing an engaging and positive learning experience?

Considering your personal experience as a student, any professional experiences, and your current and past higher-education based learning, are the Seven Principles of Culturally Responsive Teaching theory realistic or idealistic? Be sure to support your opinion with scholarly citations in APA format both in the body of your post and at its conclusion.

In order to use Social Media you need to present yourself to others. This assignment is meant to give you a way to write about yourself. Be creative and fun. This is going to sound morbid but I promise it isn’t. I want you to write your own “obituary”. Today. Actually, Tony Robbins style… stop the tape, get out a tablet and pen the damn thing right now.

The formula for a decent obituary is the following:
• Who were you?
• What did you stand for?
• What did you achieve?
• Who cares?

Example: DO NOT COPY OR USE AS A TEMPLATE!
William was born in New Jersey but, more importantly, raised in Texas. William was riddled with biases and contradictions. He reveled in his vices and publicly made fun of folks that tried to hide the freak side of human nature. William was a cafeteria style Catholic. William loved dominance… Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Manchester United were all passions for him. William loved the beach… any beach really but the Emerald Coast of Florida was his favorite. William was an over‐cusser. He enjoyed fine cigars and fine scotch but not at the same time. He was an avid coin collector. A little known fact about William… he was superstitious… in a weird eccentric sort of way. William was most comfortable listening to hip hop and/or reggae music. William loved swagger and people that believed in themselves. William despised small talk, small minded people and most politicians. William was a harsh mentor, partner, friend and father. Harsh. As in don’t ask for his opinion if you don’t want his version of the truth. William inhaled life and had absolutely no regrets. His intensity was legendary and was both his greatest asset and biggest weakness. William was probably one of the most misunderstood people of all time… mostly because he didn’t give two s#*ts about what others thought of him. He was always comfortable in own skin. William was drawn to people that exuded passion, intellect, and ambition. Of the folks that intersected with William, 50% loved him and 50% despised him. Tattooed over his heart were the words… faith, love, hope and trust. Those were all aspirational ideals for William. William barely graduated high school but easily completed his BA (Art History), MA (American Indian Studies) and MBA (Marketing). He was an accomplished entrepreneur. His foundation, Mouse Tincup, funds arts programs for American Indian children. His biggest successes were being a father to his two sons and best friend and loving partner to his wife Michal. William is survived by his wife of 50 years, Michal. His two sons Joseph Henry and Van Ollis. His is also survived by his two brothers, John and Joel. He touched countless lives… in intended ways and unintended ways of course. In accordance with William’s wishes the family is not having a memorial service. Please RSVP to William’s wake, planned for Tuesday at 6:00 pm at Club Schmitz in Dallas. Come prepare to drink, dance, and smoke and tell inappropriate stories of William’s exploits and/or escapades. After all, we’re celebrating his life not his passing. Limousines will be provided.

Professional Knowledge: Data-based Decision Making

Background
Developing a clear understanding about how data-based decision making can lead to more effective programming and curriculum choices, can gradually improve the teaching and learning environments in K-12 sites. Thus, your professional knowledge base in regards to data-based decision making must be constantly upgraded with research on the latest findings and practical educational applications. By reviewing research-based articles, you can identify the emerging issues on data-based decision making. Then, the process about analyzing and evaluating the implications for the research with your K-12 situations can occur by generating ideas for improving student academic achievement.

Task
Review three articles using the Ashford Online Library connected to data-based decision making and write a five page research paper (not including the title and reference pages). The articles must be peer-reviewed and they should only be from the 2009-2014 in order to include current research. Also, the articles must be cited using APA formatting for the references and in-text citations.

For each of the three articles reviewed in the Task section, provide the following:

• Summarize each article in one paragraph with regard to the major points or principles of data-based decision making. Be sure to include the article name, journal, and author in the summary.
• Critique each article in one page, analyzing the relevance of the content, the validity of the conclusions, and any potential biases or faulty conclusions.
• Describe the practical applications in one page of the author’s conclusions on data-based decision making.

Removal jurisdiction is the power of the defendant to move a lawsuit filed in state court to federal court. This must be done within 30 days of the defendant’s receipt of the summons with initial pleading in a case. Furthermore, the defendant must have a reason to move the case, such as diversity jurisdiction or federal question jurisdiction.

Research the basis for removal jurisdiction, using LexisAdvance or Fastcase. Use http://guides.rasmussen.edu/justicestudies/paralegal for directions on using the Rasmussen Paralegal Program’s research services. Your supervising attorney has brought the case of Dorothy West to you, and asked you to get up to speed on removing a case from Minnesota to federal court. Dorothy West, the Plaintiff, is from Minnesota, and has sued your client, Wendy Witch, in your home state due to an accident on an icy road last winter. Your client, Wendy, was intoxicated when the accident occurred. Your supervising attorney is concerned with the case being in front of the state court judge, Judge Albright, who is notoriously hard on drunk driving after his daughter was injured by a drunk driver years ago. He would like to get the case in front of a federal judge in federal court, if at all possible.

Compose a memorandum to your supervising attorney, explaining whether removal is possible in this case.

You should also explain what a Notice of Removal would need to contain,

and how long you have before the Notice needs to be filed. Fully

explain where the notice is filed–is anything filed in state court or

federal court? Will you still need to file an answer in state court if

it is removed to federal court? If it is removed, how long do you have

to file an answer in federal court? You should consult federal statutes

and case law, as well as your local rules of court for the federal court

Sensorimotor integration is fundamental to school success and learning. Think about the importance of sensorimotor integration to teaching, learning, and memory. Using the course materials, justify why you believe sensory stimulation is so important to include in lesson design and planning. Provide an example of a stimulus or specific strategy you would implement within your classroom (as an instructional designer or facilitator/teacher) to make learning more effective. Be very specific in explaining how these stimuli would improve student learning and how you believe this strategy addresses brain-based learning. Be sure to analyze the brain’s role in motor cognition and stimulation and the relationship to teaching and learning. In addition to Chapter 2 of the Willis and Mitchell (2014) textbook, Chapter 4 of the Jensen text and Chapter 5 of the Given text, which are listed in the recommend resources section, may help you to address this discussion.
