In your opinion, what is the appropriate role of a teacher when working with parents?

Identify three characteristics or skills that teachers should strive for in an effort to develop and maintain effective partnerships with parents. Use scholarly resources to support the value of these characteristics.

Following the instructions in Learning with Cases from the Ivey course pack (attached in file), complete the long cycle case chart for the GSK case  assigned from your course pack.

Notice the section “Case Data Analysis” has a parenthetical note, “(Course frameworks and analytical tools).” This is a placeholder for a LOT of information. For BUAD 301, “Course frameworks” are any analytical paradigms described in the case itself or in the reading that is paired with the case. For other classes in the College of Business and Economics,

“Course frameworks” are any analytical paradigms described in (1) the case itself, (2) any assigned readings, and (3) lectures. “Analytical tools” are all of the methods of analyzing a case explained in Note 7 for of the Student Guide to the Case Method in your course pack. Complete every method of analysis for which the case provides sufficient data and add that information to your

Long Cycle Case Chart. Not every case provides all of the information necessary to complete every method of analysis explained in Note 7. Make a note of any analysis that could not be completed due to lack of information. A professor may provide that missing information as part of a case exam prompt.

Research the following two topics in Google Scholar, ProQuest, or EBSCOhost and summarize your research findings as indicated below.

Go to Google Scholar and search for articles on stream analytics. Find at least two business-related articles published in the last five years. Read and summarize your findings in 2 to 3 pages (500 to 750 words), excluding references. Your findings should include a summary of your selected articles, how they are related to stream analytics, how they discuss the benefits or issues of using stream analytics, and any other reflection you have.

Go to Google Scholar and search for articles on stream mining. Find at least two business-related articles published in the last five years. Read and summarize your findings in 2 to 3 pages (500 to 750 words), excluding references. Your findings should include a summary of your selected articles, how they are related to stream mining, how they discuss the benefits or issues of using stream mining, and any other reflection you have.

Heroes have always been a part of written stories. Heroes from Greek mythology often had super-human characteristics, but also had fatal flaws, and often met with tragic ends because of these flaws. The era post World War I and II created comic book heroes that did not seem to have any flaws. The current super-heroes all seem to be dark heroes – heroes that may not always do acceptable (legal) things, but overall may have good intentions.

One similarity that many hero stories share is the monomyth, or hero’s journey, as you read about in this week’s unit. Be sure to address the following in your presentation: Discuss how the character of one Hero or Superhero (fictional) reflects the times that they are written. You may select a fictional hero from any era, however, you should be comfortable describing that era’s culture as well.

Explain why this hero would resonate with the general era in which they were written. Describe the elements of the monomyth that are apparent in this hero’s story. HINT! Utilize a template like the one listed below to break down each part of the monomyth.

Specifications: Submission: A 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation or Prezi that answers the questions posed above. Include speaker notes or a voice-over, images, and videos where applicable. If you choose the voice-over option, you will upload your recording web link (URL). In your presentation:

Provide speaker’s notes or a voice over on the PowerPoint to accompany each slide. If you choose speaker’s notes, the total word count of your notes should be 800-1000 words. If you choose to create a voice-over recording your presentation should be 5-7 minutes long. Include a title slide and include your references page in APA format on the last slide of the presentation. Wonder woman is the hero chosen

This week we learned about two personas: life course persistent and adolescent limited. Create two characters: one that represents life course persistent and one that represents adolescent limited. Give your characters names, and think about how their lives would reflect these personas.

Create a small poster for each character with pictures and images that reflect the characteristics associated with each persona. Be creative! Use magazine clippings, drawings, graphics, etc.

In a separate document, write two brief paragraphs describing each character and what you included on your poster for each.

Style: Your paper can take a variety of forms (e.g., bullet points, short prose).
Length: Your paper should be approximately two paragraphs in length. Points will be deducted for papers that exceed the specified length (see rubric below for more details).

Preparatory Instructions:

Please be sure to read Chapter 6 – Data Modeling (pp 187 – 213, Systems Analysis & Design text).

Entity Relationship Diagrams (known as ERDs) depict the data that will be used and created in a system and provides business requirements details such as the type and amount of each data element as well as the relationships between data entities.

This week we will practice creating ERDs. You will find that ERDs are very commonly used and can be a critical tool used during requirements analysis and design phases.

Objectives:

This week’s assignment is to apply each Normalization rule to the Inventory Order model to reach the 3rd Normal Form.

Overcoming Resistance to Change

Change can be difficult, even when it is inevitable. Therefore, change can often be met with resistance initially. Individuals resist change for many reasons, such as fearing the unknown, feeling overwhelmed, or believing a change will not last. However, once the resistance is overcome and a change grows into a habit or new baseline, most individuals will consider the effort worthwhile and may also do what they can to help others surpass the barriers they once faced. In this Discussion, you will consider a time when you resisted change and how you might use that experience to help a team overcome their resistance to changes.

After working at your first RN job for 6 months, you are asked to be part of the hiring committee that will interview and hire RNs for two open positions. Having vacancies on your unit means that everyone is working extra shifts and it is important that the positions be filled quickly. There are a dozen applicants. The top six are identified, and interviews are scheduled. There will be four people from the committee at each interview.

Interviews go well and the committee has determined the top two candidates who are equally qualified. When discussing the two candidates, at a meeting of the hiring committee, your supervisor feels that you should not hire one of the candidates because she alluded to the fact that she has diabetes and people with diabetes get sick a lot. She feels the candidate will be unreliable and unable to do her share of the work on the unit.

QUESTIONS:

1.How do you feel about your supervisor’s suggestion?
2.What are the ethical implications?
3.Are there any legal implications?
4.What are your personal feelings?
5.Do you agree with your supervisor?
The top two candidates accepted the positions offered them and were hired immediately. Both were a good fit for the unit, and after orientation was complete, they were able to reduce the strain the staff was feeling from the extra shifts. One of the new employees was diabetic and had been since she was 11 years old. She was very knowledgeable and had very good control of her diabetes. She became a resource for the entire unit related to diabetes education and care. The other new employee had relocated to take this position. Her personal situation was very complicated, and she was often late to work or would have multiple personal phone calls during the shift. She was a good nurse but had difficulty focusing on her job when things in her personal life seemed to be out of control. Within 6 months, she quit and moved back to the town from which she had relocated.

QUESTIONS:

1. In this situation, the nurse with diabetes was managing her disease well. If that were not the case what could the nursing supervisor do to work with the nurse to help her be successful in her new position?
2. Personal bias could have prevented the hiring of a nurse that turned out to be an asset to the unit. What personal biases do you have that may prevent you from interacting fairly with patients or coworkers?
3. How can you minimize the impact of these biases?

Should healthcare be considered a human right?
