...the Rockies When I first read the case study " into the danger zone", I thought it was a clean and cut case of the school being held liable for the accident that Lucy Overstreet had when she was diving into the pool during practice. After reading it the second time I realize that the school may not be the only one liable for her accident, but her as well. I say this because she did signed a form stating the risk that can occur from her being on the swim team and she could had left the swim team if she really felt uncomfortable and reported it to the principal what the coach has said to her when she wasn't ready compete in the relay where she had to dive off a starter block. The tort of negligence for this case study may not be easy to prove as one may think when you first read the study. The reason for this is because to prove tort of negligence all 5 elements of negligence has to be proven. The 5 see elements are duty, breach, cause-in-fact, proximate cause, and damages. However I will be looking at how if all the elements can be proven, I will start by looking at duty of the coach. The coach did not do its duty to protect Lucy from being injured at swim practice. The reason I would say this is because Lucy trainers and Lucy herself had told the swim coach that she needed more practice with her diving from the starter block into shallow water. And with this knowledge he did not change her position on the team but encourage to quit the team if she did want to stay in the...

...“The Forgotten Team Member” Case Study Looking into this case study, “The Forgotten Team Member” I noticed some things that could effect a team positively and negatively. Also, I notice some things that separates a good leader from a great or effective leader. Throughout this paper I will touch basis on the stages of group development, identify the primary and secondary problems within Christine’s group, and I will give two possible solutions to the primary problem. There are a couple of things I would have done differently had I been in Christine’s position. There are four different stages of team development. The forming stage is the stage at the beginning of coming together as a group. This stage is centered around getting to know each other. Next, the storming stage is the stage where group members experience tension amongst each other. Group members may display forms of hostility and fighting within the group may occur. The norming stage is when members start to come together. During this stage the group is working together to maintain a positive balance. The performing stage shows the progression of the team. It’s the time when the maturity, organization, and well-functioning team begins to reveal itself. They are able to agree to disagree and handle complex task. The structure of the team is stable and the team goals have motivated the members. Lastly, the adjourning stage is the stage whaen all the work is done, the task is over, and its time for the members to part...

...Ken Hayes EDU-450-O101 Classroom Engagement and Management August 11th 2013 Shica Little A case studies a student's disruptive behavior. I’d like to take make a case study of a person I shall call Max. Now Max is a student who is normally a good student but has a I think I know everything type attitude so sometimes he becomes a disruption for he likes to show off to the class with his storehouse of knowledge and can sometimes test the teacher’s patience. In this case study I shall go through the behavior cycle as listed in our textbook, “Lee Canter’s Classroom Management for Academic Success.” For instance the first part of the cycle mentions using explicit directions or to communicate your instructions clearly and that a teacher cannot afford be vague when issuing directions in what he/she would like to have the class do. In this case, the teacher tells the class to go to their seats and begins to work on their worksheet on the planet Saturn. Max starts out going to his seat but stops to make a commentary on Debbie’s attire and then gets to his seat and then starts his assignment but then stops his work and starts to tell the class all he knows about Saturn. Now according to the text he did do what he was told but he did it his way and on his time frame. This is because the teacher did not give explicit enough instructions. A sample of this would be, class, go directly to your seats to not talk and get to work on your worksheet on the planet...

...The Case of the Transferred Employee The case study of the transferred employee is a narrative that explains a situation where someone within a healthcare organization is going against what is ethically right to avoid negative repercussions by human resources and his supervisor. This is an act that happens all the time within organizations. I believe this to be true because I have personally seen it done. I can see how the supervisor in this case study would have a very difficult time deciding on how to follow through with what he should do. It is easy to say that one would just go against their administrative leader on paper but it would be way more difficult in actuality. Especially when you know that this leader is your boss and controls your future. I will try to answer what I would do in this situation. What do you do? As explained before I could see how this would be difficult to decide what I would do with this situation. Do I do what I know is ethically right or do I please my boss who controls my job status and my future? I made a decision right away when I first came into a leader role within my healthcare organization. My decision was based off the fact that I knew I was going to have to make tough decision as a leader. Decisions that I knew would make some happy and others very upset. So I decided that no matter what I was going to make decisions off what I thought was ethically and morally right and then I was going to live with the outcomes...

I have been teaching and coordinating gifted talented students for about 17 years for Sin war Public Schools and then here in curly for last 7 years. During those years I have had students in classroom setting or I had gifting talented elective class and I have also I had twice exceptional students as a coordinator trying to help RGT specialists and our facilitators work with students regarding the other twice exceptional students that are in classroom. As well as I had parents groups and parents of twice exceptional students who are always in need of that extra support not knowing what to do and where to go with these children and don’t quite fit into either the gifted side or special educational side. So there in a special category they need to be acknowledged for their strengths but yet looking at how we can help them through some other challenges as well. Through my experience there been different levels of twice exceptions. From a student that I had in borrow who was a six grader. He was very gifted but he had high degree of emotional problems and so he did very well in a small class room setting. I had about 12 to 15 students in beginning in my GT-Elective class and then midway through the semester there were about 10 to 12 additional students put in the class room. When that happened I noticed he acted out more and he showed violent behavior. He was...

...A case study of Envy, Jealousy and Greed In this essay I would like to write a case study based on a person I know who exhibits feelings of envy, jealousy and greed towards other people and which can be compared to the psychoanalytic views and theories of Melanie Klein. To begin with, I would like to summarise the expert opinion of Melanie Klein on these matters, before expanding on the case study to define the manifestation of envy, jealousy and greed in the selected personal example. Klein believed that there should be a distinct line separating envy, jealousy and greed. She clearly stated that: “Envy is the angry feeling that another person possesses and enjoys something desirable…jealousy is based on envy, but involves a relation to at least two people; it is mainly concerned with love that the subject feels is his due and has been taken away (Klein, 1962, p. 6). Further, according to Klein the difference between greed and envy is that greed is connected with introjection and envy with projection (Klein, 1962, p. 7). The case study I will form is about a woman called Helen. Helen is a 65 year old widowed woman with one daughter and three grandchildren. Her husband passed away 24 years ago. Helen’s profession was as a school teacher. Her childhood was difficult because she was raised only by her mother as her father got married to another woman and left the family home. The envy of Helen begins from her childhood experiences. According to Helen, she was always jealous of...

...Midterm Leadership, Ethics & Decision Making Case Study 2 (Pages 2 – 4) Case Study 3 (Pages 5 – 7) Case Study 6 (Pages 8 – 10) By: Alexandra Janicek Case Study 2 – The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Page 63 Q1: What do you think Bill and Melinda Gates’s personality traits are for each of the Big Five dimensions? Compare the two. When considering the Big Five dimensions, which include traits of surgency, agreeableness, adjustment, conscientiousness and openness, both Bill and Melinda share some of these traits. I believe both Bill and Melinda exhibit traits of agreeableness. The agreeable personality dimension includes having enjoyable social relationships, and displaying sensitivity towards other’s needs. Another huge aspect of agreeableness is having a high emotional intelligence. What makes up emotional intelligence is self-awareness, social awareness, self-management and relationship management. Bill and Melinda focus their time working towards helping all people to lead healthy, productive lives throughout the world. With centers in the United States, India, China and the UK, they have donated $24.81 billion dollars. This is an example of sensitivity – “Sensitivity means not focusing on putting yourself first and remembering that the more you help others, the more you get in return.” (Pg. 38). Their sensitivity towards others needs also ties into their emotional intelligence, more specifically, their social awareness. Empathy...

...Questioning Authority: A Rethinking of the Infamous Milgram Experiments By Liliana Segura, AlterNet Posted on February 12, 2009 Between 1963 and 1974, Dr. Stanley Milgram conducted a series of experiments that would become one of the most famous social psychology studies of the 20th century. His focus was how average people respond to authority, and what he revealed stunned and disturbed people the world over. Under the pretense of an experiment on "learning" and "memory," Milgram placed test subjects in a lab rigged with fake gadgetry, where a man in a lab coat instructed them to administer electrical shocks to a fellow test subject (actually an actor) seated in another room in "a kind of miniature electric chair." Participants were told they were the "teachers" in the scenario and given a list of questions with which to quiz their counterparts (the "learners"). If the respondent answered incorrectly to a question, he got an electric shock as punishment. The shocks were light at first -- 15 volts -- and became stronger incrementally, until they reached 450 volts -a level labeled "Danger: Severe Shock." The actors were never actually electrocuted, but they pretended they were. They groaned, shouted, and, as the current became stronger, begged for relief. Meanwhile, the man in the lab coat coolly told the test subjects to keep going. To people's horror, Milgram discovered that a solid majority of his subjects -- roughly two-thirds -- were willing to administer the highest levels...

...employees have the right to privacy. Case 9.1: Unprofessional Conduct shows how Pettit privacy was violated. Pettit was a teacher of many years and never had a bad evaluation of her work. What she did outside of work was labeled unprofessional by the Board of Education and they chose to fire her because they believed she was unfit to teach. I disagree with them completely and they did violate her privacy. Business Ethics is defined as “the study of what constitutes right and wrong (or good and bad) human conduct in a business context” (Shaw, 2014, p. 4). Based off this definition, I believed that Pettit should not have been fired. I also believe that the Board of Education definitely violated her right to privacy and they were not justified in firing her. Pettit was a dedicated teacher for many years and she did not involve her personal life in the workplace. Because of her sexual preferences, she was judged and fired from her job. The Board of Education should not have fired Pettit is due to the fact that they had no evidence to prove that she was not doing her job correctly and her privacy was violated. Pettit was an elementary school teacher who taught children with disabilities. The case study said that “Mrs. Pettit was one of those dedicated teachers”……and “she had been working with mentally challenged children for over thirteen years” (Shaw, 2014, p. 342). Pettit did not promote her sexual lifestyles in the classroom so why did the Board of Education fire her? ...

...Fabulous First Grade Case Study: Thinking Outside The Box to Manage Disruptions Mary Gajnos First Grade Teacher Keller Elementary Green Bay, Wisconsin December 10, 2013 This is a case study of one of my first graders who began the year with what one would call quite a reputation for disrupting the class. In this study I will try to show how I had to reflect, change, and implement other strategies/methods in order for him to coexist in our classroom. As I write this about student M, I have just come from having a very tough day with another student that we are currently looking into trying the same strategies. I say this because I am a person who reflects daily on the happenings of the day and put myself through the “could of, should of, would of” scenario. As never having done a case study, I hope to show that by just being true, fair, and realistic to a vision; one can try their best to better themselves as well as the classroom they are in charge of. As I started researching this I found Maslow’s theory that states, “Unproductive behavior is not viewed as an indication of a bad child but rather as a reaction to the frustration of one’s basic needs not being met.” Student M came to first grade after a very traumatic kindergarten experience. I was able to observe this and at times thought “What am I going to do next year?” M comes from a background of mom and dad both being incarcerated last year and being “raised” by Spanish speaking grandma. I saw him throw fits...

...Running head: OBJECT RELATIONS CASE STUDY ! ! ! ! ! ! Object Relations Case Study of Melanie Freeland A Conceptualization and Treatment Plan Raven N. Aponte Liberty University ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !1 OBJECT RELATIONS CASE STUDY !2 Abstract This case study presents the use of Object Relations Theory. Object Relations Theory is the relation between the internalized sense of self and others, and how it affects present relationships. OR therapy specifically focuses on the relationship between the child and early caregiver. OR theorist concludes how attachment styles influence the way an individual conceptualizes themselves as they relate to others. Object, refers to people, an environment, or images that are significant to emotions or intentions. Relations are represented by relationships the individual is engaged in, both interpersonal and internal. Melanie Freeland’s case is an applicable case for OR therapy. Melanie’s present concern regards her negative view of herself, due to her past abandonment; which is affecting her relationship with her daughter. The therapist gives a thorough case conceptualization, discussing the various aspects of reoccuring relationships, symptoms of split self constructs, false self, and uninvolved attachment styles. The therapist offers a treatment plan designed to help Melanie’s true self to emerge as a result of counseling. Using free association, interpretation, and insight, Melanie will begin to achieve...

...of the study that explored the relationship between personality traits, type or motivation, and goal specific cognitions as antecedents of degree performance amongst undergraduate students. The studies used several methods in order to produce the results that were discovered. In the area of personality traits the five factor model was utilized. In the breakdown of types of motivation the researchers determined their findings by using the self-determination theory. Lastly when it came to goal specific cognitions the results were formulated by that of the theory of planned behavior, also referred to as the TBS. Throughout the article that was presented there seemed to pose more then just one hypothesis. Phillips, Abraham, and Bond first hypothesized that the theory of planned behavior measures would predict final degree results. The next thing that Phillips, Abraham, and Bond hypothesized was that intention would be the most important predictor of final marks. The three gentlemen also expected that perceived behavioral control, attitude, and subjective norm would be strong correlates of intention to get a good degree. The last but certainly not least thoughts they hypothesized was that good-student identity and anticipated regret would explain further variance in intention. In order to perform this study Phillips, Abraham, and Bond originally had asked one hundred and sixty five students ranging from the ages of twenty to forty nine to participate in the study. Out...

...Definition of Ethics and Business Ethics I learned that ethics, simply stated, involves learning what is right or wrong, and then doing the right thing -- but "the right thing" is not nearly as straightforward as conveyed in a great deal of ethics literature. I think, most ethical dilemmas in the everyday living are not simply a matter of "Should Bob steal from Jack?" or "Should Jack lie to his wife?" Ethics poses important questions about how we should act in relationships and how we should live with one another. Ethics asks us to consider whether our actions are right or wrong whatever the context - personal, family or business. (Many ethicists assert there's always a right thing to do based on moral principle, and others believe the right thing to do depends on the situation -- ultimately it's up to the individual.) From my readings, I learned that many philosophers consider ethics to be the "science of conduct." Others explain that ethics includes the fundamental ground rules by which we live our lives. Philosophers have been discussing ethics for at least 2500 years, since the time of Socrates and Plato. Many ethicists consider emerging ethical beliefs to be "state of the art" legal matters, i.e., what becomes an ethical guideline today is often translated to a law, regulation or rule tomorrow. Values, which guide how we ought to behave are considered moral values, e.g., values such as respect, honesty, fairness, responsibility, etc. Statements around how...
