...For example, the Healthcare Ethics Consultant Code of Ethics centers around helping the patient, family, providers, and other stakeholders to address, analyze, and clarify ethical concerns regarding the patient’s care and treatment options. Communication must be responsible, identifying all benefits and risks. It is the responsibility of the Healthcare Ethics Consultant to maintain and support the patient’s right to moral deliberation. Because of the delicate and sensitive nature of these discussions, the code maintains the need for transparency at all costs. The consultant must ensure that the patient and all other interested parties are aware of who employs and/or funds them. Additionally, the code defines competency as not just education and training, but facilitating peer reviews and quality improvement...

Compare and contrast three (3) state agencies’ personnel evaluation systems. In comparing and contrasting the three state agencies, I have chosen New Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware, as it applies to education standards.

...and rewarding career in nursing education. This interview with a mastered prepared registered nurse, helped identify specific competencies that the MSN-prepared nurse gains after completing such a program. The interview was conducted on October 22, 2014 with the Clinical Nurse Educator for Woman and Infant Services, at Banner Gateway Medical Center. She was accommodating for this interview, although she states her days are quite busy, in her clinical role. Questions and Career Overview The Nurse Educator was first asked what her role was as the Clinical Nurse Educator for this medical center. She was quick to state that nurse educators in the Banner Health System not only have education for their specific units, but also have responsibilities to educate system wide. A day in the life of a Nurse Educator sometimes goes globally with her knowledge; to teach beyond his/her assigned unit. She continued to explain that there are a variety of functions that her position encompasses, however, she limited the list to the top three: onboarding/new employee orientation, teaching in the academy or specific clinical area/unit, and then providing the required competency education for staff. As she continued, she said, “A large portion of my role, is to create an atmosphere where a newcomer, whether the nurse is seasoned, or a new grad, become comfortable, and motivated to become part of the Banner family, and follow the Banner...

...There are many types of ethical responsibilities that must be instilled in an organization for it to run effectively. The staff as well as the teachers and the students must be made aware of all of the principles that are put in place. This is in order to create a safe and effective work and learning environment for everyone involved. I believe that in my organization honesty and trust are two very important characteristics that should exist. The educator’s faults should be taken into consideration when applying for the job. Somebody who may not have a positive effect on the students should not be in that position. The educator is the role model and should be that at all times. They should never display an act of untrustworthy behavior or something morally unsound. Another principle that I feel would be important to my organization is maintaining a healthy relationship with the students. The student should never feel as though they are being disrespected or treated poorly by any person in the building. There should be an amount of respect that is given to the students as well as the colleagues. Every student should get a fair chance to prove themselves and never have to worry about being treated any different from anybody else. Colleagues should also feel a sense of equality to the rest of the staff. There should be no favoritism toward different teachers or departments in the building. One of the most important ethical responsibilities of an educator consists of...

...accomplish any goal that is set as long as they feel connected to what they are learning, without a link between the students and material, the interest is lost and the learning is harder and may take more time. The approach to teaching and learning fits the positivist educational theory because in such and educational approach knowledge is considered something that is clear and precise ( Johnson, Musial, Hall, & Gollnick,2011). As an educator this means that I try and encourage students to discover principles by themselves. An educator’s personal philosophy of education is an important element in their approach to instruction. There are five key educational philosophies in the field of education that include Essentialism, Perennialism, Progressivism, Existentialism, and Behaviorism. My philosophy of education aligns itself to that of Progressivism. This philosophy greatly impacts the way in which I decide to design and develop a curriculum. My responsibility would be to guide and stimulate curiosity and interest in students and push them towards problem solving and scientific inquiry. I like this Philosophy because it has to do with all children have value and dignity...

...negative for the learners and educators is when the classroom does not encourage order. It is essential for an educator to be able to see each student and assign seats that avoid any mischief, disruptive verbal behavior, unsafe environment, as well as giving the educator the free range to move around the entire classroom so every learner is visible from several different angles in the room. If there are computers in the room the educator should be able to see what the student may access online. This can be done simply by facing the screens in a visible direction usually along a back wall so the educator can view any content. This can simply be done by arranging the desks in a circle or a horseshoe to prevent less talking and horse play. The educator’s desk would be off to the side behind the students along with a separate work table in another area of the room. If there is group work each student can move to their correct group and work in a common area with minimal distractions. With the educator moving throughout the class students are less likely to misbehave and/ or the educator can prevent any mischief. If an educator fails to have well planned lessons it can cause the classroom to become a negative environment simply because the educator is not able to provide adequate teachings. It is essential to ensure the day’s lessons plans are well planned and thought out along with...

...this question, I came across a number of very interesting and informative books and articles like Implementing an Anti-Bias Curriculum in Early Childhood Classrooms and Alike and Different: Exploring Our Humanity With Young Children. It was good to see that many resources but at the same time I felt uncomfortable as children as young as three years old (sometimes earlier) can apparently show bias, prejudice and discriminatory behaviour and attitudes. Now, answering the question let me describe a few effective strategies to challenge discriminatory comments from children. However, before I start I should say that when a child makes those comments towards another child, toward educator or towards a personage on the book/cartoon – educator’s responsibility would be to respond immediately without ignoring a comment or a question that appears bias or discriminatory and she also needs to discuss this with her manager and start applying strategies which addresses all children in her care: - The reason some books are bestseller and other not is because the authors of bestsellers have a talent to tell a story so that it grabs readers’ attention. So strategy number one is to tell a story. Tell a story of when you were discriminated against, how you felt (if you were not discriminated, then you can use someone else’s story by acknowledging that person), how you resolved the issue, and invite the children to make comments. You can guide them to imagine how they would have felt in such a situation...

...Response to Intervention (RTI): The Saving Grace of Special Education Regent University December 1, 2015 Abstract For years, special education has been bombarded with increased referrals of students for services, consistent behavior issues with identified students, and the lack of academic progress made by students with disabilities. The implementation of a multi-tiered intervention strategy, such as Response to Intervention (RTI), improves the quality of the referral process, decreases instances of behavior issues, and improves academic outcomes for students receiving special education services. In an effort to organize and implement delivery of social, behavioral, and academic supports, many schools have adopted a tiered Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. Special educators indicated some barriers to effective implementation of a multi-tiered intervention strategy such as RTI. Teachers listed multiple barriers, however, they also indicated several perceived benefits to themselves and to students from the RTI procedures. If you have ever been at the pool or lake and witnessed someone drowning, your first instinct is to get that person some help! That help may consist of you calling for a lifeguard, throwing that person a lifesaver, or going in yourself to save the individual that is drowning. The introduction of multi-tiered instructional systems and the impact it has had on special education is just like that lifesaver. For years, special education has been...

...new images. They need to be able to design charts, graphs, illustrations, and other artwork, using the computer. ("Graphic Designer" job description part 1, 2012). Because of the duties that a Graphic Designer needs to perform, they need a computer that is capable of a large amount of memory (RAM), also one that has a fast processor for the many different programs that will run and their functions. Also they would need a great graphics card and capabilities. Based on the research that I did I think that the Alienware M18x Laptop would be a great laptop for this profession. It meets a lot of the specifications needed to perform everyday duties. Educator: An educator’s job description is to organize, develop, and manage educational programs and curriculum (online education degrees, 2013). Because of the responsibilities of an Educator, they need a computer that can access mainly basic programs such as Microsoft office programs, and internet capabilities. Based on the research that I did, I think that the best computer for this profession would be the Dell Inspiron 660 Desktop. The specifications for this computer meet basic everyday desktop needs.

...Educational Research The Importance of Conducting Research in an Educational Setting Human beings conduct research every day. They do so in many different ways and in many different settings. One important area is education. Conducting research in an educational setting should be an important aspect of every educator’s professional life. Best and Kahn (1993) describe research as “the systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles, or theories, resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control of events” (p. 27). Education in a research setting is done to improve school practices and at the same time to improve those individuals who strive to improve those practices (Best & Kahn, 1993). The importance of research in an educational setting is often overlooked, however. Those in academia often consider research as a way to earn tenure or remain in favor by the university that employs them. Faculty who wish to thrive in the university setting must publish or perish in order to remain employed. Educators often forget that they are failing to fulfill their pedagogical responsibilities if they do not remain current in their field of teaching interest. In lieu of using research to better their teaching practice, research is used simply to hold on to a job (Hall, 2002). This is unfortunate because it takes away from the most important aspect of educational research, the improvement of one’s...

...and races and of both sexes. Although it has been outlawed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and prohibited under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, many companies and schools have yet to develop adequate policies and procedures for addressing sexual harassment. Evidence of this is apparent in the increased number of grievances filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC): from 10,532 filings in 1993 to 15,889 in 1997 (Ganzel 1998). The Supreme Court rulings in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth are an attempt to halt these incidents by requiring harassed employees to work within their companies to resolve grievances before turning to the EEOC. They place responsibility on the employer to set guidelines for preventing sexual harassment and on the employee to follow them (Barrier 1998). This Digest examines the implications of federal laws covering sexual harassment, the characteristics of company policies and grievance procedures to prevent and report sexual harassment, and program strategies for preventing sexual harassment in schools and workplaces. What Institutions Can Do The Supreme Court's recent rulings are motivating employers to take actions that reflect their compliance with federal laws as protection against sexual harassment litigation. Emerging from the literature on sexual harassment prevention are three key steps that employers can take to counter sexual harassment (Kimble-Ellis...

...are those that never occur in the first place ( Slavin, p. 281). Robert Slavin hit the nail on the head with this statement! Just imagine life as a teacher or student attending class and everyone is on their best behavior and there are no distractions to keep students from learning. The classroom atmosphere and opportunities to learn would be ideal in this situation. Unfortunately most classes aren’t free of distractions or questionable behavior. Often teachers in today’s classroom have to take on two roles: 1) Teacher 2) Parent. Students seek attention in many ways and sometimes being a distraction in class is a way to receive that much needed negative attention. As the teacher and “parent”, it is the educator’s responsibility to set guidelines for the class to follow. Creating a problem prevention plan is the first step to creating a great learning atmosphere, safe environment and notifying the students that they will be held accountable for their behavior. My objectives are to create a fun an exciting learning atmosphere for my 5th graders. I will seat my students in alphabetical order. I will refrain from allowing them to sit next to friends for the first part of the semester so they won’t get easily distracted and tempted to talk during class. I will introduce myself and give a brief description of my background and why I chose to be a teacher. After my introduction, I’ll give the students the opportunity to introduce themselves...
