Discussion: Diversity

“Differences between boys and girls . . . become problematic when societal or school forces limit the growth and academic potential of students” (Kauchak & Eggen, 2017, p. 89). In this week’s reading, Kauchak and Eggen discuss gender differences and why it is important for teachers to be aware of gender stereotyping and understand how such stereotyping can influence teaching and learning. Also, in this week’s readings, Judith Kleinfeld explores the challenges for both boys and girls in the education system. Think about the age level of the students you plan to teach. Explain how what you have learned about gender differences and stereotyping will impact your teaching, including your awareness of and sensitivity to differences in communication between boys and girls.

There are many determinants of and influences on diversity that impact students’ development and learning. Based on what you have learned from reading “Changes in American Society: Their Influences on Today’s Students” (Kauchak & Eggen, 2017, pp. 54-59) and “Students at Risk” (p. 69), think about the influences that make a difference in students’ lives in school and out (e.g., family circumstances and/or configuration, socioeconomic conditions, and community environments). Choose one area of influence and summarize how it may impact a student’s life and learning. Then, explain, as a teaching professional, how this understanding can help foster effective teaching.

Tobacco, alcohol, and other chemical use/abuse can also create differences in students’ development and learning. Review at least two of the articles listed in the Learning Resources that have to do with tobacco, alcohol, and other chemical use/abuse. Summarize the possible effects of such use/abuse on the physical, mental, and emotional development of students at the age you plan to teach. Explain why it is important for teachers to be aware of such knowledge and, at the same time, be extremely careful not to make assumptions or form stereotypes.

Capital Budgeting and Projections

Perform an internet search for a current health care organization of your choice (preferably publicly traded for-profit organizations because these organizations must report all financial data and make it available to the public). In your search, select and evaluate the report of the financial information from the past 4 quarters or more. Complete the following for this assignment:
Predict the effect of changes in all financial metrics to changes in a proposed strategic plan in your chosen organization for the following 3 scenarios:
Payer mix changes from 50% Medicare and 5% Medicaid patients to 70% Medicare and 10% Medicaid patients in 1 year.
Professional turnover goes from 5% annually to 10% annually.
Demand for services increases 20% in 1 year
Search course materials including your text and the Internet for assistance in completing applicable financial calculations for this assignment.
Using the statements that you located, provide a financial plan that will do the following:
Create projected financial statements to analyze effects of alternate operating assumptions on the firm’s financial condition
Determine the projected financial requirements that will be needed to support each of the 3 sets of alternate operating instructions
Forecast the financial sources that might be needed to support your alternative assumptions
Assess the projected results using a financial condition analysis to the forecasted data
Provide appropriate spreadsheets such as Projected Income Statement and Projected Balance Sheets to validate your projected assumptions.
Consider the effect of the following factors to justify the changes that may be needed to the strategic plan as a result of your analysis:
Validity of data in the decision-making process
Revenue growth rate
Capacity
Rate of turnover
The body of the resultant paper should be 6–8 pages and should include at least 5 relevant academic or professional
references published in the past 5 years.
