Do immigtants take up jobs meant for U.S. citizens?

This organizer will be to help me prepare for the synthesis essay.
Please see ALL attachments as two attachments will have the articles that are ONLY to be used and another attachment will have the authors perspective views.
And one attachment will have the writing graphic organizer.

Once you have chosen an article, write a post of 250+ words and identify the “point” of the article. How effective was the essay in conveying its point?

For this assignment, first read the two assigned narrative articles by Clendenin and Mobley. (Please note where these two authors went to college; one won a national contest, and the other was selected for publication in a composition textbook.)
After reading the two essays, choose one to write about in your initial post (and respond to at least one person who wrote about the other essay).
1. Once you have chosen an article, write a post of 250+ words and identify the “point” of the article. How effective was the essay in conveying its point? You should also include details from the narrative to explain how you identified the article’s main point.
2. Finally, respond to three of your peers’ posts (50+ words per reply) – and, be sure to reply to at least one person who wrote about the article that you did not write about. Doing this will ensure that you have thought deeply about both readings. In your replies, you may agree or disagree with your classmate’s reading of the article, but add something new to his or her comments.
In other words, don’t simply write something like, “I agree! Good job! I think you really hit the nail on the head by identifying this as the main point…” Note that someone could write such a general comment without even reading the post; you want to interact with your peers on a deeper level.

A teacher states that a child in her class is extremely hyper. Could you please talk to his parents to medicate him! What would your response be? A pediatrician sends in an order to take blood pressure for a child on a new medication. After reviewing the medications, which class of medications would need blood pressure checks? A parent wants you to give ½ of the dose prescribed by the pediatrician because they think it is too much. What would you do? Another parent asks you to give the medication only on days when you think her child needs it because it is so expensive. Who would you collaborate with to help this family?

Please include an introduction and conclusion. APA 7TH ed. Reference page does not count towards word minimum . Thanks

CASE: CHARTING A COURSE FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION—“IT’S A POLICY”

Read the case below from Chapter 10 in your textbook:
Background
The setting is an 82-bed hospital located in a small city. One day an employee of the maintenance department asked the supervisor, George Mann, for an hour or two off to take care of some personal business. Mann agreed, and he asked the employee to stop at the garden equipment dealership and buy several small lawnmower parts that the department required. While transacting business at a local bank, the employee was seen by Sally Carter, the supervisor of both human resources and payroll, who was in the bank on hospital business. Carter asked the employee what he was doing there and was told the visit was personal. On returning to the hospital, Sally Carter examined the employee’s time card. The employee had not punched out to indicate when he had left the hospital. Carter noted the time the employee returned, and after the normal working day she marked the card to indicate an absence of 2 hours on personal business. Carter advised the chief executive officer (CEO), Jane Arnold, of what she had done, citing a long-standing policy (in their dusty, and some would say infrequently used, policy manual) requiring an employee to punch out when leaving the premises on personal business. The CEO agreed with Sally Carter’s action. Carter advised Mann of the action and stated that the employee would not be paid for the 2 hours he was gone. Mann was angry. He said he had told the employee not to punch out because he had asked him to pick up some parts on his trip; however, he conceded that the employee’s personal business was probably the greater part of the trip. Carter replied that Mann had no business doing what he had done and that it was his—Mann’s—poor management that had caused the employee to suffer. Mann appealed to the CEO to reopen the matter based on his claim that there was an important side to the story that she had not yet heard. Jane Arnold agreed to hear both managers state their position.

Present a 12 – 15 slide PowerPoint answering the case study questions. The number of slides exclude the title and reference pages. Substantial Speaker Notes are required throughout the entire presentation. Below you will find articles with more info on speaker notes.
Develop the argument you would be advancing if you were in George Mann’s position.
In similar fashion, thoroughly develop the argument you would advance if you were in Sally Carter’s position.
Assuming the position of the CEO, Jane Arnold, render a decision. (Document your decision in whatever detail may be necessary, complete with explanation of why you decided in this fashion)
Based on your responses to Questions 1 to 3, outline whatever steps—policy changes, guidelines, payroll requirements, or something else—you believe should be considered to minimize the chances of similar conflict in the future.
Reference your readings and include a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar articles.
Format your PowerPoint according to APA guidelines.

Field Experience C: Discipline

Important policies, guidelines, and procedures are mandated concerning the discipline of students who receive special education services. The staff, parents, district and campus administration, and related service providers may all be involved in the decision making process regarding consequences for actions that may be related to the disability. There are procedural processes involved in determining the following: manifestation hearings, the need to conduct a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), and the development and implementation of behavior intervention plans (BIP). IEP team members must also document decisions regarding suspension, expulsion, or a need for a change of placement. Administrators, lead teachers, and other key special education staff are responsible for implementing the policies and disciplinary regulations. Failure to comply with these important regulations can place these individuals and the district in a liable situation.
Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Interview two of the following: a principal; assistant principal; administrator; lead special education teacher; school psychologist, or behavior interventionist/coach.
Discuss the role in which the interviewee plays regarding the following:
In your role, what types of discipline issues have you found to be the most common with students with disabilities?
In regards to IDEA, what is your responsibility regarding the discipline components for students identified as receiving special education services?
How do you play a role with in-school suspension versus out-of-school suspension for students who receive special education services?
How are you involved in the decision making process regarding the discipline of students with disabilities?
What types of data do you collect regarding behavior/discipline issues of students with disabilities? If you do not collect the data, do you review the data to assist with any discipline issues?
How are special education services provided to students with disabilities who are suspended, if needed? Does your role have responsibilities in determining or providing these services or ensuring these services are met?
What other additional insight can you offer in the areas of due process, discipline, and student/family rights related to your role and responsibilities?
In 250-500 words, summarize your interviews and reflect upon professional practices related to legal and ethical discipline for students with disabilities. Discuss the similarities and differences of roles and responsibilities based on your feedback from the interviews. In addition, provide any additional insight the interviewees provided you might not have realized until now. Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
