...The assigned course reading for EDU 658 Instructional Leadership was very interesting. The case studies provided a lot of information. I especially enjoyed reading the case studies about leadership styles. I also enjoyed learning about resonant leadership. When reading chapter 1 in Cases in Leadership I had a chance to learn from someone else’s point of view whether leadership is a trait or a process. When reading Chapter 2 of Cases in Leadership I learned The Character of Leadership. In Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional intelligence I learned that leaders have to care about the people they lead. They must also listen and ask questions to show that they care so that the employees are willing to work or deal with change without a lot of difficulty. After reading Chapter 5 in Cases in Leadership I learned about making difficult decisions in turbulent times just like the case study was titled. My personal perspective on instructional leadership has definitely increased after taking this course and learning about different leadership styles. I think that I have always known that there are different leadership styles but I didn’t know that there were names for each type. I believe that using assessment to drive instruction/training is a good idea. I think that the strengths of this course include having a teacher that is willing to address each student and not only point out mistakes but also encourage them by saying good job, great post, or even mention it to...

...Case 1 1. The major problem that has been identified in this case is that The Johnson Toy Company does not have proper return policies set in place. The reason a proper return policy is crucial to the success of an organization is the fact that returns affect numbers and profits. Not having a proper return policy and method of tracking returns affects inventory levels as well as costs in the organization. Without the proper policies how does the company know how much is being returned, where the returns are going, why returns are being made, should they stop producing so many items, etc. With the lack of policies it is apparent that data is not being stored and there is a lack of documentation on numbers. This causes financial issues because the company is unaware of where money is going and if any is being taken or being put back into the company. What happens is the financial documents are then not accurate which could cause major decisions being made to be wrong decisions. I think the main reason The Johnson Toy Company has not created a return policy is because they have never had issues with it before and have always been able to get by without having one. This is not a good approach. The Johnson Toy Company needs to put in place proper policies to ensure the safety of the company. Products must be documented and the company should track or know where products are being shipped, transported, and warehoused at all times. What people do not realize and it seems...

Please post case studies in Turnitin Assignment Drop Box as a MS Word document. Remember, each case study must have the heading listed below and must be answered according to instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade. This is how I want your paper turned in. The introduction is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. An interesting APA fact is that there is only one space after the period. This is difficult for many to get used to and takes practice. The paper should be written in third person narrative. I do not want to see you writing in the first person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. Answer the following questions by applying the concepts learned in Chapter 1. Also, conduct literature reviews on the subject of discussion and use to support...

...Case Study Module 2 Lindsey M. Charbonneau Ashford University Abstract Case studies have been used throughout research for preparing all types of people for numerous types of situations they may come in contact with in the professional world. As educators it is important to stay atop of the latest research so we can be prepared to engulf any situation with care, intelligence, and the optimum outcome for the student. The following case studies show possible outcomes for two separate cases dealing with Raoul, a hard of hearing bilingual sweet third grader, and Joe, a tutored in reading pressured by his community involved parents. Both students need a lot of attention from not only the school staff but also their influencing outside forces to help them succeed with the goals each educator has set for them during the current school year. Below are three possible solutions that are very different but hold the very same goal, doing everything within the educator’s power to assist the student in their success. Case Study One Introduction In Level A, Case 1 we have Raoul. Raoul is nine years old and in the third grade. He is a bilingual student that is completely fluent in English and Spanish. Raoul is well liked by both his peers and staff, especially when is translating for his Cuban born parents. Raoul’s challenge in the classroom is due to his being hard of hearing. He has the most difficulty when information in the classroom is passed on partially or all orally. Case...
