Professional Development: Part Two

After a successful workshop with colleagues in which you presented  focused areas of brain-based learning during Week Two, your leadership  team has asked you to follow up with a second workshop, adding specific  components that expand upon the principles of brain-based learning by  including information pertaining to memory and creating patterns of  meaning. Specific approaches and examples are meant to guide the  presentation audience into relevant, practical applications of  brain-based learning into their planning and instruction.

Prepare
First, revisit the peer and instructor feedback provided  in the Model Analysis: Brain Research-based Instruction discussion from  Week Two. Next, apply any recommendations you agree will enhance the  overall quality of your original presentation. You will then add new  information gleaned from Chapter 18 in the Jenson (2008) text to your  existing presentation. Both parts of the presentation will be formally  evaluated using the provided rubric.

Review the sample assignment. 

Content Expectations: Construct your presentation to include the  components listed. The existing components from your draft in Week Two  are included alongside the added components pertaining to memory and  creating patterns of meaning derived from Chapter 18. Pay attention to  all components as some grading criteria has been added.

Read Aaron Ridleys article Ill-Gotten Gains: On the Use of Results from Unethical Experiments in Medicine (Public Affairs Quarterly 9, no. 3 [July 1995]). Ridley examines the question of whether to make use of beneficial results that were obtained unethically from medical experiments performed on human beings. While many would probably say that such benefits should not be withheld, Ridley suggests it would be inappropriate to make use of such results. Given his article, address the following questions:

  1. In your own words, explain Ridleys argument based on utilitarianism and the Ideal Experimenter. According to Ridley, how might the Ideal Experimenter effectively be persuaded to conform to non-utilitarian standards of experimental practices?
  2. In the end, do you think Ridleys argument succeeds? Suppose some researchers performed experiments on children in which many of them suffered and died, but in the process, the researchers obtained information that could wipe out cancer. Should they use that information?
  3. Ridley presents two reasons for not using the results of unethical experiments that he believes are not effective: respect and condoning. Why does he think these fail? Do you agree with him? If not, give an example in which you think an appeal to respect or condoning would be successful in arguing against the use of such results.

You have just joined a CPA firm. This is your first time working with the client. The client has asked for help in reporting some securities, and the audit manager on the job has asked you for recommendations on the reporting.

Provide a report that includes your recommendations on reporting, and its effect on carrying value and earnings in each of the following situations:

  1. The client has an equity security that has declined in value (i.e., the market value is less than what he or she paid for it [cost]). It is currently classified as available-for-sale, but the client would like to change its reporting to a trading security.
  2. The client has a combination of investments in a portfolio that are long-term investments. The portfolio has increased in value on the whole, but there is one stock whose value has fallen by more than 60%. The client thinks that this decline in value is permanent.
  3. The client has a portfolio of trading securities that has dropped 20% in value. He or she has another portfolio that is available-for-sale and its fair value has increased by 40%.

Title: Health Policymaking in United States 

Edition: 6th (2015) 

Author: Longest 

Publisher: ACHE Book 

ISBN: 978-1-56793-719-0 

In not less than 150 words Research a current health policy of your choice and discuss why you find it relevant to you personally and the population. You may also discuss any changes you would make to the policy. Please provide justification for the change. 

In two different paragraph with not less than 75 words give your personal opinion to Dianna Adair and  Sasha Bluitt

The Affordable Care Act was enacted in March 2010. The health policy allows more affordable healthcare for all people. Working in healthcare and seeing how having little to no insurance affects people is heartbreaking. I find relevance to this policy because I’m sure we all have had a time where our children or ourselves have been without healthcare for a short period of time. The ACA helps prevent people from being without healthcare and find affordable healthcare facilities and physicians. 

Dianna Adair 

The policy that Ive chosen to discuss today is that relating to womens reproductive rights. I will try to keep it uncontroversial as I don’t want to spark any wars! The unfortunate reality is that over half the states in the U. S. have curtailed womens reproductive rights. I am not talking specifically about abortion (which I know can be a heated discussion primarily debated by middle aged white men instead of women). The abortion issue has, however, affected policy that governs other benefits of reproductive healthcare. Specifically, several states have made it their mission to remove family planning funds which pay for birth control and reproductive health checkups.

Planned Parenthood is a major provider of reproductive healthcare services, with low-cost STD testing, free and low-cost birth control, and free or low-cost exams to screen for cervical cancer or other conditions relevant to reproductive health. Yes, some of these facilities do provide abortion access, but the majority of patients come there for comprehensive care for other issues. In an attempt to punish Planned Parenthood for offering abortion services, their funding has been slashed in policy enactment in several states. In 2018, a Tennessee law was enacted to exclude agencies that provide abortion from eligibility to receive family planning funds, even if those funds do not directly go to abortion services (Nash, Gold, Mohammed, Ansari-Thomas, & Cappello, 2018).

Back in 2015, I was living in Texas and didnt have many womens health clinics in my area. One only accepted a particular type of Medicaid, and the other was Planned Parenthood. At the time, Texas had enacted policy that defunded Planned Parenthood for the same reason as Tennessee did in 2018. I needed an exam and birth control, but the only insurance I had was the state-funded Womens Health Plan. I ended up having to pay out of pocket 800 dollars to get the care I needed that should have been covered by my insurance, but no one in my area accepted it. I was a single mom at the time to a 5-year-old and was already working two jobs to afford my apartment and keep food on the table plus pay for childcare. The backlash from this policy did eventually result in a Judge blocking the defunding of Planned Parenthood in 2017 due to the horrific consequences (Almasy, 2017).

I know Ive been a bit long-winded, so I should get to the point! Family planning funding should be given to all clinics willing to provide the services, regardless of if they offer abortion services. There is a lot of evidence showing that access to low-cost or free birth control significantly reduces the amount of abortions, so those who are pro-birth should consider it as an option to stop abortion. If it were up to me, policy would dictate an appropriate amount of funds to these services for all women so that low-income families do not have to struggle to support extra unexpected children or go without regular check-ups. Cervical and breast cancers have a greater survival rate when they are caught as early as possible, so access to reproductive health services is vital to this process.

Regards,
Dianna
