...Reading program is an intensive systematic phonics learn to read program that will improve comprehension, spelling and a child’s penmanship. This program is well-suited for absolutely every age group and it is an effective solution for any reading problem (actionreading.com). Formulated for use with learners from preschool through adult ages, this program is the key to learning to read the English language in a much easier way. Children struggle with comprehension the most and this program helps to build on being able to understand what you are reading. Our students that we will be tutoring should go from knowing little to nothing about reading to being more knowledgeable and finally able to hold their own in the classroom. Since I have been a substitute teacher at my daughter’s school for the past two years, I reached out to my friends there for a student to tutor. I let them know I wanted to tutor a student they had who had trouble with learning to read and write so they could really benefit from being tutored. My student’s name is Dustin and he is five years old and in kindergarten, and his teacher told me he didn’t really get anything from the time they spent on learning letters or writing. When I first met him I realized that the only problem he really has is being able to concentrate and he forgets really easy what you are talking to him about, so we have to use alliteration throughout our sessions. In starting...

...management would very well work in a lot of industries. One example of an industry that would benefit from this type of human resource management would be fast food industries. It allows people who may not have graduated in the top of their class and who may not have had the best GPA in school to still qualify to enter the company with a degree. They can show off their good work ethic and dedication by starting off at the bottom and working their way to the top. Having said that, job loyalty is greatly promoted in industries that perform in this way. 2. Does Enterprise face any risks from its HR strategy? b. Of course Enterprise faces risks from its HR strategy, as well as any other industry hiring brand new employees. There is always the struggle of teaching new employees the rules and strategies of the industry they are working for. They have to go through a training session to tell them what is expected of them and how they should go about doing their job. One good thing to note about Enterprise’s HR strategy is that they like to hire former athletes and former people who have been in a club of some sort so that they at least know they are hiring someone who has been dedicated to something at some point, and hopefully they can be just as dedicated to their job. 3. Would you want to work for Enterprise? Why or why not? c. Personally, I wouldn’t see myself working for Enterprise. Knowing I went to school and took the time to earn my degree, as well as spending money...

...implementing such a plan proved to be more difficult than the team anticipated. It came down to the final hours before the assignment was due before the team began to understand the assignment more clearly and formulate an effective quality improvement plan. This week, Team D will discuss three main issues that attributed to the concern for developing the quality improvement plan, how well these issues worked, (and did not work) and how the team plans to change and improve these issues for future assignments. This paper will discuss the issues of communication, punctuality, and responsibility and how Team D can find the areas of opportunity with each issue. Communication (Kelly S) Punctuality (Team Member 3) Responsibility (Keith McIlwaine) The team began on a low note in creating and delivering an action plan for improving the quality of the team member’s individual assignments. In the beginning a struggle that attributed to concerns for developing the quality improvement plan was getting to know team members’ work ethics. For we have been at this for a long time and have meet and worked with many other students who...

...What made non violence work? Was it because the followers were never afraid to do what they believe was right. The answer is yes, but that is not the only reason non violence worked. For some people it was a long time before they say the equality the deserved but sadly, some didn’t. Unity made the non violence work. An example of how it worked can be found in a quote by Martin Luther King, that can be found in doc. 2. addressing the lunch counter sit ins in 1963. Dr. King said “We do not seek to remove this unjust law for ourselves alone but for our white brothers as well. The festering sore of segregation debilitates the white man as well as the Negro.” This quote is an example of unity because King says that he wants to get rid of the unfair laws for all people, including white. He is basically saying that he...

The table cells will expand automatically, giving you as much room as you need. Team Information: Reflection Take a few moments to reflect about: 1) what worked well and what didn’t work well on your team and the reasons – Our team worked very well together on the project. We divided up the work load and each team member submitted a chapter. Everyone checked the group discussion board every day and made comments when appropriate. 2) how you and your team members might have worked better together and what you would do differently if you were to work together again – We worked very well together on the project, as we have done throughout the class. We each individually did research and submitted a chapter. Everyone was involved in editing and making suggestions for improvement of the final paper. 3) what could improve this activity, anything in the course content or anything the instructor might do in the future – I would like to have had more experience in working with the Excel templates provided on the text CD-ROM and it would have been insightful to tie this in with our final project. Names of Team Members In the table below, list your own name as the 1st team member. Then list the names of the other members of your team. You probably have fewer than seven members—just use as many rows as you...

...working in a factory different? Author Bonnie Smith-Yackel wrote “ My Mother Never Worked” in order to disprove the idea of her mother just being a stay at home mother rather than a hard worker. While on the other hand Gary Soto, author of “One Last Time,” talks about how his mother who worked in a factory, removing leaves and rocks from raisins, for twenty years. While both Smith- Yackel and Soto’s are have physical labor, there are many things they do that are different. Smith-Yackels mother, Martha Smith worked on a homestead, where she had done things and rather than being told what to do. Her mother also inherited her beliefs from the hard work her family had done as farmers.Yackel explains how her mother “Learned to set hens and raised chickens, feed pigs, milk cow, plant and harvest a garden, and can every fruit and vegetable,” in order to start supporting her family. In this type of work Mrs. Smith was her own boss and never had anyone to tell her what to do.(124)Though her husband had worked they as a family weren’t guaranteed a source of income unless their crops and animals were able to be put up for sale. For instance...

...Session Part A. General Performance 1. To what extent did the team meet the goals documented in the Scope Statement? We meet the majority of our goals. The one’s we did not reach didn’t hamper the completion of our project. 2. Did the team fail to meet any milestones or the final completion date? If so, which ones? We met all the milestones, however we did miss some completion dates but they did not set us back too far. Part B. Lessons Learned 1. WHAT WORKED WELL Identify 3 to 5 processes or practices that worked particularly well for your team. These are things you suggest future project teams consider doing if faced with a similar project. * Using google docs worked really well for our team because all of our schedules are different. * Communication between team members was also very good for the first case. * Brainstorming problems and solutions helped us narrow down the strongest one for us to use in the case. 2. WHAT DID NOT WORK WELL Identify 3 to 5 processes or practices that did not work as well as you expected. These are things you suggest future project teams should re-think before doing. * Smartsheet really didn’t work as well for keeping us on track as we thought. * Waiting too long to start different parts made us rush certain sections. * Out of class meetings did not work well for our group because we would be rushed from having different schedules. 3. WHAT YOU WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY Identify 3 to 5 things...

...putting on a play about what their old school (Whitewall) used to be like, throughout the play we are following the three characters Gail (played by Nicole Black), Salty (played by Jacob Addely) and Hobby (played by Donna Preston) who also played all of the teachers and the rest of the students, the effect of multi role makes the audience concentrate more on the play, because it makes the audience think more about what’s going on in each scene as there is a lot to take in with each different character . This is effective because it makes the audience think about what is going on and figure out which characters the actors are playing by use of gestures and change in voice. John Godber wrote this play to show how the education system works today and how some people receive a better education system if they are richer but also some people receive a bad education if they can’t afford to go to the richer school, he wrote the play to show that every pupil has potential to be great, but some don’t get the opportunity because of their financial situation and it’s not fair to the disadvantaged students. The play was a play within a play, this means that the actors were putting on a play about students putting on a play, this worked well because it meant that the audience were more interested in what was happening on stage because it was complicated to understand which made it more interesting. It was made interesting by this because you had to work out yourself what was happening, which...

...afternoon is as follows: Q: Where and when were you born? A: I was born in 1945 in Hobbs, New Mexico. Q: And you have brothers and sisters, right? A: Yes, four brothers and no sisters. I’m 73 so my oldest brother is 75 [Carlton]. Then I had a brother [Charlie] who was killed in a car wreck when he was young, so he would be 70. Jerry is about 68. And my youngest brother Roland is 62 if I had to guess. Q: So when you were growing up who did what in the family? Who did all do chores and work and stuff like that? A: When I was really you we used to live next door to my grandmother and I remember having to do chores over there all the time. But when we moved to the other neighborhood I remember my brothers having to do chores but not me. I’d do dishes with my mom but I didn’t have anything else to do....

...the software that can give confidence predictive results of what will happen next so we can make smarter decision, solve problems and improve outcomes. For this project, I am going to use SPSS as my analyzing tool to predict and analysis the data by using several model of calculation. The database I choose is the Employee Attitudes data provided under course material. This is my interested field and I am going to use SPSS to make a prediction. Data Source: EmployeeAttitudesStudents.sav from course material. This database contains information collected in a survey of nearly 1,000 employees of Seminole County Government, Florida. Questions regarding working conditions, compensation, quality of management, etc were asked. Variables in this file are all categorical (mostly ordinal, with a couple of nominal) so they would be appropriate from multiple regression analysis. Statement of Problem According to the research material I found online, Salary Basics - Developing a Strong Compensation Philosophy, good payment attract and retain employees for the company. In order to analysis this situation, I choose two variables as my main factor. The first one is the question "I am paid as well as other organizations with similar jobs", and the second question is "Years worked for Seminole Country Government". So here H0 null hypothesis is that Pay rate compared with other company does not affect number of years they worked for government. State H1 the research hypothesis is that Pay...

...Shore Negotiation: Casino THREE CONVERSATIONS PLAN I. What Happened: A. Multiple Stories a. What is my story? i. I am a programming manager of a five person team that writes computer programs. There are six other programming managers. In the past, I have only worked on children’s games which do not hold the same level of prestige as the adult games in the company because the adult games produce more revenue and have more extensive marketing. ii. During a brainstorming session, I came up with an idea for our company to create a game that people could play over the internet, everyone liked the idea and decided on a gambling team. The Vice President of programming, Jamie Jackson, allowed my team take over the project. iii. My team worked grueling hours on the “Casino” project, making the endeavor more stressful after losing two team members (one due to the sickness of his wife and the other to another department). Although it was tough, I feel as if this is the best project I have ever worked on. Unfortunately, my peers and other managers disagreed calling the project “too cutesy” and “for wimps”. They believe it should involve the “cigar smoke and dancing girls” theme of Vegas, but I know modern Vegas has abandoned this theme for a more family friendly atmosphere. iv. I feel as if I may be discriminated against because I am the only female manager. This could be the reason why in the past I have only worked on children’s games, and currently am receiving much...

...conceptual framework for both the IASB’s Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements as well as the FASB’s Conceptual Framework Project (CFP). However, I thought the reading of the text was a little unclear, but I verified the information using an online source. Looking online it seems as though adjustments are still being made to the project to date so it is ongoing. 2. What has the progress been to date? a. What outputs have occurred? One of the achievements the CFP has made is deciding a recognized definition of an asset and a liability. The previous definitions were thought to have been flawed. While it seems unnecessary to list the definitions here, they can be found on pg. 69 of the text. In general the CFP has worked towards resolving differences between certain elements and their definitions. Also, the project has worked to revise recognition criteria and concepts in order to eliminate current differences and provide a basis for resolving such issues. The test gives an example of the derecognition and unit of account as being such an issue. Overall, the CFP is broken has been broken up into phases in order to accomplish its goals. For example, the measurement phase has worked to define a list of measurement basis that might be used as the basis for measurement within financial statements. Also there is a phase in which the CFP has worked to determine what constitutes a reporting activity. Three features...

...organization. These functions work together to assist the management team to make decisions and meet the company goals. The first function of management is planning. “Planning is specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve those goals” (Bateman & Snell, 2009). In my last organization, the planning process was a vital part of the week for the management team as well as the employees. I worked as a collections associate for a bank. We had meetings once a week to set our goals for the week. We worked in teams, so there were team goals as well as individual goals that we discussed. The second function of management is organizing. “Organizing is assembling and coordinating the human, financial, physical, informational, and other resources needed to achieve goals” (Bateman & Snell, 2009). The organizing part of the functions of management was very important in my last organization. Given the type of work I did it was very important that we were well organized. We needed to know all the in and outs of the loan business as well as the loan modification business. Another thing that we always had to have updated information on was all of the government programs that were designed...

...DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE What is a diverse work place? Well, a diverse workplace could be a place that has mixture of gender, age, ethnicity, disability and other dimensions of diversity. I didn’t know that diversity included disability or even other dimensions of diversity. Well according to our HR book other dimension is a person’s sexual orientation. (DENISI/GRIFFIN, 2011) Sexual orientation means a person's sexual identity in relation to the gender to which they are attracted; the fact of being heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. Benefits of Diversity in the Workplace. A diverse workforce drives economic growth which is beneficial to all the valuable markets. We have in the United States a big growth in more women, racial and ethnic minorities, and gay and transgender going into the workforce. A diverse workforce can have a better share of consumer market. By bringing in a diverse group of employees it brings together different experiences that can be more marketable to consumers. Recruiting from a diverse pool of candidates means a more qualified workforce. A diverse and inclusive workforce helps businesses avoid employee turnover costs. Diversity fosters a more creative and innovative workforce. Businesses need to adapt to our changing nation to be competitive in the economic market. Diversity is a key aspect of entrepreneurialism. Diversity in business ownership, particularly among women of color, is way to moving our economy forward. Diversity...

...The Industrial Revolution provided a variety of opportunities for women who worked in the factories to widen their knowledge and become successful later on in life, however many of the women who worked in the factories were poorly paid and treated unfairly. This resulted in labor reforms and restrictions on the wages and hours the managers were allowed to enforce on their employees. The hours women were forced to work were unfair and definitely abusive. Women who worked in factories often worked twelve to fourteen hour days with no more than a total of forty-five minutes to one hour in breaks (Dublin, Thomas. "Women and the Early Industrial Revolution i…). The unfair hours the women were forced to work not only were uncompensated for, but kept women away from their newborn children or even young children who are also working in factories to help support...
