...ago ED7590 Discussion 6d1 This post required a peer-reviewed journal article be selected from the Capella Library. The chosen article was about a descriptive study completed of nine states and the Funding support for school-wide positive behavioral interventions and support implementation and scale-up. This article examines the major focus and the difficulty states face with the process of selecting, implementing, and scaling-up evidence-based practices. The article also contains a discussion about the renewed commitment to improving student outcomes and how that has led directly to the need for effective practices implemented at scale (Gage et. Al, 2013). In particular, this article examines the funding decisions of nine specific states and makes note that funding decisions made at state, regional, and district levels remain a key to large-scale implementation of effective practices (Gage et. Al, 2013). No one will argue that the main objective of education in the United States is to offer all students a free and suitable public education so they may become active and vital members and contributors to society. However, the process involved in funding education to achieve this goal is a very complex one mainly because it includes interests, policies, and dollars originating from and flowing among local education agencies (LEAs), state education agencies (SEAs), and federal government agencies (e.g., U.S. Departments of Education, Health, and Justice) (Gage et. Al, 2013)...

...We as humans communicate in some form practically every moment or of our waking hours and we do this all our life. Therefore it is safe to say that communications is not only important but necessary to our existence. This fact not only applies to the more mundane activities of our existence but to the business arena. Without a doubt communication is the hallmark of the effective manager. “Research spanning several decades has consistently ranked communication skills as crucial for managers. Typically, managers spend 75 to 80 percent of their time engaged in some form of written or oral communication.” (Blaylock, Marty) There are several parts to the communications process. To paraphrase the basic model a message is encoded by the sender, and then transmitted to a receiver who then decodes the message. After decoding the receiver provides feedback. This process is known a two communications. For the manager two important skills to ensure effective two way communication are listening and asking questions. Listening is how we receive the message during oral communication. If we do not listen well we risk missing the correct message. “When we listen it is important to listen well. Listening is not a passive activity.” (Thorogood Publishing Ltd., 1999) The mark of a good manager is one who sincerely shows interest in what others are telling him. “In the orai/interpersonal area, business professionals rated the listening competency higher than business faculty rated them” (Waner...

...interviewers. After I told him what major I was, he asked me the most interesting class I have taken at LSU. I thought that was a unique way to get to know a little about me without simply asking me, "Tell me something about yourself." Peter never used any closed questions during the interview. I believe he did that because he wanted to get the most information out of me in the allotted time we had to speak with each other. I think the lack of closed questions was effective since we only had a few minutes to speak and a bunch of closed questions would have given peter little to work with when choosing his partners. As I explained before, Peter only used open-ended questions, and it was effective in getting high quantities of information about me. He used questions like, "Are you a leader or a follower, and explain why." I replied that I was more of a follower because I have great communication skills that allow me to increase group cohesion and optimize group output. Another open question he asked was, “Tell me about your strengths.” I replied by saying that some of my strengths are my social skills, determination, and my reliability. He was pleased with my group of strengths. Peter ended the interview by letting me know he would strongly think about picking me as a partner. I think it effective by letting me know how I did immediately. We were cut off by the timer, but he did what he could while everyone was starting to shuffle around. Overall Peter did a great job figuring out...

...Occupational Therapy Therapeutic communication is used continuously throughout the discussion between Elizabeth (occupational therapist) and Sally (client) who is in recovery from a pregnant stroke. It’s a relationship to provide goal-oriented support to the patient in advancing their physical and emotional wellbeing. Listening to the patient means taking onboard both the content and the feelings the client is expressing, while subsiding personal judgement and ideas to centre attention on patient needs and goals. Elizabeth executes effective therapeutic communication which I can confidently mimic, to help me develop skills in clinical. What? Sally has been hospitalised for 5 days and is recovering from a pregnant stroke. Elizabeth uses a therapeutic approach to engage and talk to Sally about her needs for returning home and living safely. Elizabeth introduces herself to deliberately ensure Sally knew her name and how she was helping her. This is effective in clinical as patients may have various doctors and can become disoriented with the different people. Introductions ensures the client knows who each person is, and how they are helping them. When talking to clients, showing your body language is engaged with the client’s conversation is important to show engagement and respect. Sitting squarely indicates interest which Elizabeth uses as she lowers herself in a chair to Sally’s bed frame which shows respect as she is now eye level with Sally. Elizabeth adopts an open posture although...

...cynical. Some of the characteristics of an oppositional individual are asking probing questions, being argumentative, having a negative attitude, and a sarcastic sense of humor. I was actually shocked with these results, but realized the more I read the descriptions that I actually possess some of the characteristics listed. Some of the attributes of the oppositional individual that I have are asking the probing questions, looking for flaws, and sometimes having a negative attitude. These characteristics manifest in both my every day and work life. I tend to ask the questions to make sure I understand what is going on and to make sure that the decisions being made have been thought through. At the same time I am asking the questions, I am looking for the flaws, trying to figure out why the decision being made will not work or what could possibly go wrong. Both of the previous stated characteristics can lead to the portrayal of being negative. My secondary thinking style is achievement and I totally agree with this conclusion. I ranked in the 85th percentile in this area. I was surprised that this was not my primary style. The achievement style indicates attaining high quality results on challenging projects and tending to find my work rewarding. Some characteristics of the achiever style are knowing that individual efforts count, committing to making things better, setting attainable and realistic goals, and asking for forgiveness and honest feedback. Other characteristics are leading...

...given. The method of communication is also a process barrier. You must choose the best method in order to share the message. As a manager I want to work to ensure that my messages are received and perceived in the manner that they were meant. The first guideline to follow is to ensure the proper method of communication. Should the message me in person, an email, a staff meeting? Deciding the most effective method is a vital step. I will need to look at each opportunity to share information and decide the best method to take. If the message is personal it needs to be in a private setting and in person. If the message is informational it could be through email or in a larger group meeting, keeping in mind the audience that you are speaking to. One of the practices that I will put into place to ensure the process of communication is complete is to have a way to determine that the message was received in the same way it was intended. Asking people to restate to you what the message is always a good way to ensure that the receiver understood what you were meaning to say. Asking them what they understand the instructions to be or...

...in complex healthcare settings. Clinical reasoning skills help in critical thinking. Developing a good clinical reasoning makes oneself to think critically and effectively. An effective clinical reasoning skill requires concurrent attention to both the cognitive and metacognitive dimensions of reasoning in nursing care contexts ( Kuiper RA & Pesult DJ, 2004). Asking questions is the only way to improve the clinical reasoning. One of the important patterns of change in thinking is from ‘answers to questions’. Change is only constant thing in the world. These changes evolve with questions in many issues. Initially there will be fewer answers, which are simple ones and even not the right ones. Questioning helps in making our knowledge more sound and perfect. When one answer to an issue is not satisfactory, one will start questioning which will help in more thinking. According to Senge “genuine inquiry starts when people ask questions to which they do not have an answer” (Rubenfeld, MG & Scheffer BK ,2010). Only creative people depend on asking questions. The core of several learning approaches often starts with a problem or questioning. The art of asking ‘questions” help in developing the more innovative and effective way of thinking oneself. The key to powerful thinking will always be powerful questions. Thinking will often get into many different directions. Questioning will always help in defining the agenda of our thinking. They help in determining the extent of the information...

...includes the art of being a good questioner. Questions are the stepping stones to good teaching and great understanding. Without questions nothing would be explored, no one would ever question or wonder what happened if they pushed just a little further to gain more knowledge about a certain subject. We as teacher need in understand that the deeper and more improved the questions are we direct at students the deeper their thought process is going to take them. With more difficult questions we are simply encouraging students to take it to the next level. We as teachers use a variety of questions throughout our day to day lessons. Those questions can include simple yes/no questions, recall questions, rhetorical questions, and leading questions. These types of questions take minimal thought process on the students’ behalf. As educators we need to strive to decrease these simple question interchanges and jump on the opportunity to search for better student understanding. Rather than asking questions with just one right answer such as "What is the capital of the Wyoming?", we could ask students why the capital is located in Laramie? Rather than asking if Rattle snakes are venomous, we should ask “What are the side effects of a Rattle snake bite”? 2. Teachers probing for learner understanding in order to provide effective feedback to the learners. Providing effective feedback and doing corrective teaching is the goal of using probing questions to illuminate areas of student weakness...

...Beau Smith, Zach Chrzan, Robbie Wacker, Terence Heiser 9/16/12 Business Comm. Short Answer Questions 45. An accounting career would be an interesting career to pursue. Listening can be a vital part of the job. One example would be having a more people oriented style of listening and being able to understand what they say more effectively to be able to help them with their problem. Along with being people oriented, being versatile in our listening style can make us better accountants. An action oriented style can help us accomplish that. Asking questions as an accountant is important. By asking questions we can obtain more information to help accomplish a goal for customers. When being people-oriented, the best way to improve your communication is to not worry so much about the factual information at that point. There will be time to make up all of the information that may be lost at another time. When asking questions, don’t just ask questions to make the person feel involved, rather really listen to the content of what they are saying. Really listen to the answer which they give, and take it for what it is worth. When being task-oriented, the best way to improve listening skills in this area is to remove the emotion from the situation, and focus solely on the information at hand. 46. The three barriers which affect our listening the most are preoccupation, fear of appearing ignorant and physical distractions. A lot of times in our busy lives, we can become...

...classroom. Many types of questions can be used but one aspect is for sure, they will enhance learning and contribute to a safe and successful year in Ms. Copley’s class. “Effective questions are those for which students actively compose responses and thereby become engaged in the learning process” (Using Effective Questions, 2014). Questions can come in verbal or written forms and without including these in the classroom; teachers will not fully identify what their students are thinking and better yet, understanding. Questioning in the classroom can be perceived by many outside influences such as “body language, voice inflection, word emphasis, word choice, and context in which they are asked” (Borich, 2011). Two different types of questions are usually used by a teacher within the classroom. Convergent questions are those that are direct and “recall the information they have already learned” (Borich, 2011). Secondly, there are divergent questions that really allow children to think critically, have no single right answer, and in my opinion are more fun for the students to draw on their own knowledge to come up with an answer. With 80% of questions being direct questions and 20% being open ended, a lot of students don’t have the time to think critically and I feel that in my classroom we will have a lot more time for those divergent questions. My plan is to have journal time and I will ask the students different types of critically thinking questions that will practice the skills...

...Effective Communication Paper In-effective communication is a major risk factor in health care organizations. Effective communication depends on limpidity: both the speaker and the listener should be in agreement about the message that was transmitted. But communication is influenced by a host of factors so the intended message is may not be understood. According Scalise (2006) six risk factors that can stifle effective communication are culture/ethnicity, socio-economics, literacy, gender, personality, and behavior (Scalise, 2006). Communication is a process in which two or more people, sharing information such as thoughts, and feelings, and ideas through means of oral, writing or body language, and non-verbal speaking. Effective communication extends the concept to require that transmitted content is received and understood by someone in the way it was intended (GW, 2011). It helps group members build trust and respect, allowing them concur all goals that have been set. The goals of effective communication include creating a common perception, changing behaviors and acquiring information (GW, 2011). Conflicts are a fact of life and occur at all levels of interaction whether it is at work, with friends, within families or between relationships in partnering businesses.

...patient’s history, emphasizes preparation of a comfortable environment, and exemplifies the significance of using effective communication skills to assist practitioners with obtaining a comprehensive and an accurate patient history while using a structured systemic approach in a variety of settings. Summary of the Article “Taking a patients history is arguably the most important aspect of a patients assessments, and is being undertaken by nurses” (Crumbie, 2006, as cited in Lloyd & Craig, 2007, p. 42). An accurate and comprehensive patient history is imperative and “cannot be overstated” (Crumbie, 2006, as cited in Lloyd & Craig, 2007, p. 42) since it provides clinicians with the most essential information needed to establish an effective and a patient focused plan of care. Lloyd and Craig recommends preparing a comfortable environment and using effective communication skills in a logical and systematic approach to begin this process to achieve the best patient outcomes. First, the nurse should begin with preparing the environment by ensuring it is easily accessible, well prepared, safe for patients and or/and their family member(s), and preferably in a location where there are few to no interruptions. Next, in a professional and friendly fashion, the clinician should introduce his/herself, state his/her purpose, and proceed with gaining consent prior to asking questions or providing care if the patient has the ability to demonstrate that he/she has a clear understanding of what...

...During the group portion of math, I noticed the teacher asking real questions. Real questions are a type of appropriate questions that want an answer and that were not meant to be a demand. After asking the class to solve a problem on the board, the teacher asked the class to “turn to your neighbor and tell them what strategy you used to get your answer.” She then walked around the carpet and asked certain groups, “What strategy did you use to get your answers?”. By asking this real question she made the question feel that it was not optional to answer and the objective of the question, which was to see which children could do the problem and how the children did the problem, was reached through the question. At the individual math time the...
