Personalized Learning Lesson Plan

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education

Differentiated learning and personalized learning are terms that are often used interchangeably. In a postsecondary setting, you will be expected to personalize your lessons and differentiate your instruction, the same as would be required in a K-12 environment. For this lesson plan, you will create a lesson that includes evidence of personalized learning for a variety of students: one who is an English learner, another who is gifted, and a third who qualifies for accommodations because he/she has dyslexia.

Create a lesson plan to be executed in a traditional setting. Use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” and make sure your lesson plan reflects the use of andragogy and technology. Your lesson plan needs to be in your content area and must include a standard from your SPA. Make sure your lesson is aligned. Your lesson plan must include evidence of personalized learning for a student in your class who is an English learner, a student who is gifted, and a student who qualifies for accommodations for dyslexia.

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Psychology and Education, Undergraduate

Instructions

This exercise will allow you to apply your knowledge of personality theories and build your self-awareness by examining your own personality constructs.  You are required to write a 2,000-word reflective piece framed within the relevant theories of personality.  The assessment contains two parts:

Part 1: Theories of Personality (1000 words)

What distinguishes trait theory from other personality theories? Discuss similarities and/or differences in relation to at least two other theories. Remember to support your answer with evidence from the psychological literature.

Part 2: Reflective Activity (1000 words)

This exercise aims to build both your understanding of personality theory and to increase your self-awareness by requiring you to examine your own personality constructs.

For this reflective activity, you should carry out a personality test on yourself from the International Personality Item Pool.

Using Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle, you should answer the following questions:

Describe which tool you used and your experience of completing the tool (what happened?)
How did you feel when undertaking the test and on receiving the outcome of the test? Did you understand all the questions that were being asked, was it user-friendly?  (What were you thinking and feeling?)
Evaluate your experience of completing a personality test. What was good and bad about it?
Do you think it reflected your personality? Were the questions in line with theories of personality? Did you agree with the findings? Link this to your understanding of your personality traits revealed. (Making sense of this situation)
What have you learned about your personality and how that could impact on your performance in meeting your goals? (Conclusion)
Preparation

“The scientist-practitioner model produces a psychologist who is uniquely educated and trained to generate and integrate scientific and professional knowledge, attitudes, and skills so as to further psychological science, the professional practice of psychology, and human welfare. The graduate of this training model is capable of functioning as an investigator and as a practitioner, and may function as either or both, consistent with the highest standards in psychology.” (Belar & Perry, 1992). 

There are a number of competencies which characterize this model, one of which is that your expert qualities should not remain a mystery and that the ability to reflect on ones actions it critical to engaging in a process of continuous learning.

Literature

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

For this assignment, you will write a 1-page, SINGLE-spaced response on the poems I provided. Strike an argumentative claim ,and reasonably prove your position through identifying and close reading textual evidence.

1. You must have as single,fully developed, argumentative thesis where you make a claim about the text and attempt to prove your position in your response. (If you are writing on multiple texts, your response must have a singular, unified thesis and argument. In other words, the response must be on one topic, not a range of small topics.) Advanced-level theses do not merely state facts or cursory observations but are highly complex, argumentative, and defendable statements

2. Evidence: Your essay must incorporate textual evidence and analysis to corroborate your claim. Make sure that you do not leave the quote to speak for itself but always extrapolate the passage and explain the relevance of the quote for your argument as a whole. Ask yourself: How is this passage advancing or proving my position to my reader? Afterwards, explain explicitly the answer to that question in your response. Above all, you must reasonably prove your claim with the evidence you select and the analyses and arguments you make.

3. Information on only summarizing: While you must inevitably summarize certain scenes to convey your point, your primary focus should be on analyzing scenes or quotes from the text. If your evidence only consists of identifying scenes and explaining what happens in that moment of the plot, then you are not analyzing or close reading, simply storytelling. In the end, make sure you are constructing an argumentative piece of writing that proves a claim, not regurgitates the narrative.

Authority of the Designer

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Law

Purpose of Assignment: To increase awareness in the student of key differences between two common standard contract forms as they relate to the authority of the design professional during construction.

Relevance to the Profession: Construction management professionals will encounter many different construction contract forms during their careers, including those of the AIA and EJCDC.  Since the authority of the designer performing services to the facility owner during construction is a frequent source of dispute, it is important that the construction manager understand the limits of that authority.

Audience: Your audience for this paper is the CEO of your company/organization, the Facility Owner of construction.  You have been directed by her to prepare this analysis to help in deciding which of two standard construction contract forms is better suited to use in an upcoming construction project.

Assignment:

Part A (15 points)

Compare and evaluate the language pertaining to the authority of the designer in current standard contract forms (2007) of the AIA and EJCDC as stated in their respective general conditions.  Focus on the following five key elements:

    Site visits and inspections
    Rejection of contractors work
    Review/approval of contractors submittals
    Determinations regarding concealed or unknown conditions
    Interpretation of the contract documents

Part B (10 points)

Based on your findings in Part A:

    Give a general description of a project type and facility owner type that are a better fit for the AIA standard contract form. State your reasons.
    Give a general description of a project type and facility owner type that are a better fit for the EJCDC standard contract form. State your reasons.

Format: This assignment must be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman or Arial font size 12.  The overall length must be at least 1,200 words (provide a word count).

On the first sheet I would like to have 12 columns for each Major Readiness Goals to represent the 12 months of the year. Can you create 16 different sheets showing the running charts for the 12 months, I highlighted them by color showing which data should be on each sheet.

I would like to punch in the data for each month on the first sheet for each month and then they would display on the sheet showing the monthly progress.

Network Security Policy

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Computer Science, Undergraduate

Your group is working for a global organization that handles highly classified intellectual property. In many situations and scenarios, the implementation and operations teams have been creating and setting up environments that violate your vision for security. After discussing the situation with various parties, they all admit they do not fully know or understand what is expected from them as they set up and configure the environment. To solve this situation, your group has been asked to create a network security policy for the organization.

Each group member will choose an element of the policy to design, and the group will collaborate on what the overall design and outline should look like and include components from end-user behavior, a training plan, file and folder access, social engineering safeguards, bring-your-own-device policies, use of external drives on company assets, security hardware, penetration testing, and affiliation of the information security department with law enforcement agencies. Students may either interview someone in the local FBI field office or research the FBI and DHS Web sites related to information-sharing programs that the government offers; this could be advantageous to the organizations information security program.

To keep the scope narrow, your group should first describe what should be included and what should not be included in the policy (remember that a policy should clearly set management’s expectations).
After the scope has been defined, research the various components, and create an appropriate policy.

Prepare a Word document of 710 pages (excluding title page, abstract, and references page) that includes the network security policy for an organization that addresses all of the stated design requirements. It should be in APA format, including an introduction and conclusion.

Policy memo of Immigration & Labor Policies and food system

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Health Care and Life Sciences, Undergraduate

Topic: Food Production, Risk, and Immigrant Labor: The Public Health Case for Immigration Reform and a Better Food System: Congress (the audience!) has asked a (National Academy of Sciences) panel of experts (YOU, the players are the experts), led by Study Directors Rose Martinez and Clyde Behney (the moderators), to advise them on immigration reform for a better food system. There will be no oppose/support sides in this deliberation. Rather, you are a panel of experts asked to present recommendations to Congress about the key issues in immigration reform as they relate to food systems. In particular, you will be asked to:

1.Provide some background on agricultural workers in the U.S., encompassing both farmworkers and meat/processing workers (who are they, where do they work, what type of work)

2.Provide an overview of the health risks associated with agricultural labor and the vulnerability of immigrant workers to health risks

3.Discuss the barriers to awareness and improvement

4.Describe the effects on security and resiliency of the U.S. food system

5.Present some policy recommendations from a public health standpoint (I expect what you will do here is make the recommendations from the reports below more digestible/understandable to the audience members and then perhaps rank them into what might be the most feasible/achievable or short-term vs. long-term.)

Audience: U.S. Senator John Cornyn, Chairman of Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration. The policy memo should be addressed to Senator Cornyn.
