...existing employees. It is a method by which companies can ensure that employees will perform their tasks correctly, safely, and quickly. Contrary to what many employers believe, training employees is a solid investment for a company, rather than an unnecessary expense. For health care employers, it is even more necessary to make sure that employees are well-trained and educated as in this field one simple mistake could lead to the endangerment of a patient’s life. Educating the staff on certain rules and regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPPA, and proper techniques, such as bedside manner, dispensing of medication, along with communication between a patient and a provider, is required to ensure that the best care is given. Training programs are important for the overall productivity of the workforce, so too are the evaluations of said program. Importance of developing a training program Different...

Evaluating a child’s performance in school can be very hard, but a necessary part of the educational process. For many, assessments mean test. Students and parents view these assessments as a way to out-do their classmates and compete to see who is able to get the highest grade. They don’t view these assessments as a way to know if they understand the things being taught. Assessments are created to serve a purpose. They help diagnose learning disabilities, identify a student in need, and help the district meet their yearly goals Technology to Facilitate Ongoing Efforts to Assess Student Learning Teachers are able to use technology in many different ways. Teachers us observation, making adjustments when needed in a lesson, communication, written assignments, and giving tests to help each student know their strengths, and weaknesses. To make sure no child is left behind a teacher needs to evaluate the child’s daily, monthly, and quarterly progress. This will help the teacher understand what is each child still needs help on. By modifying the curriculum for some of the children this will help each one individually. Students should have the opportunity to use assessments in their class to help understand all the tasks that are being assigned during. The software being used can include many things.

It can also be used to assess and improve relationships with others. Recognizing what others see in us is something that we may not be aware of and accept. One must believe and trust an individual before sharing personal information ("Johari Window," 2010). This paper will discuss some profiles of my personality characteristics and evaluation results. Also summarize assessment results. Then analyze how the scores play a part with relationships and career choices. The profile of my features displays my personal preference and is consistently decisive. I tend to get work done under stressful conditions. I show a lot of positive feedback as a manager. I am extremely confident with my work and decisions. Managers are not perfect, so we tend to make mistakes and learn from them. Being able to take criticism makes an individual a better person and a good manager. Being able to work long hours and with standing prejudices and biases situation is one of my strong points (Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien & Hunt, 2012). My primary mission as a leader is change. I have a lot of concern on what my employers want in life and always thinking of the long term. In this position, I am not only a leader but a teacher. Employees...

This discussion will compare the ways that each association defines, addresses, and approaches an educational institution’s learning assessments program during the accreditation process. Higher Learning Commission Defining Learning Assessments HLC defines learning assessment structure in terms of their stated criteria and core standards. Evidence listed for these core components provides a more detailed definition of learning assessments. As of 1 January 2013, HLC’s accreditation process will be built on 5 criteria. HLC directly addresses learning assessments in 2 of its 5 accreditation criteria. Criteria #3- Teaching & Learning: Quality, Resources & Support Criteria #4- Teaching & Learning: Evaluation & Improvement Because Criteria 3 and 4 have specific learning assessment applications they alone will be discussed further. HLC derives Core Components for each of the Criteria. Two Core Components for criteria 3 are specific to student learning assessment: A) The institution demonstrates that the exercise of intellectual inquiry and the acquisition, application, and integration of broad learning and skills are integral to its educational programs. B) The institution provides support for student learning and effective teaching. For purposes of illustration, evidence examples for these two Core Components (A and B) are: A1. The institution...

...Program Planning and Evaluation Paper Axia College Program Planning and Evaluation Paper The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is an organization which supports young people who love music, encourages quality musicianship, and advanced leadership skills through their program. Local elementary and middle schools have had to cut the music programs from their curriculum; parents, students, and community members are concerned that this lack of support from the education community will discourage talented individuals. SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians. Their program planning and evaluation techniques are established, but always open to change as the students and musical tastes vary from year to year. Program planning and evaluation are two different processes in any human services agency, but are related to each other in many ways. Program planning is a process through activities or interventions which address and facilitate changes in a specific problem or problems. (Terao & Yuen, 2003) Through this planning, new programs can be implemented which can more appropriately address the problem or add new aspects to an existing program. Program evaluation provides information about how well a program is meeting the needs of its clientele, staff, the community, and its mission. Ongoing assessments allow for changes which need to be made as participants change, needs change, or there are better ways...

The local policy process appears to be most influenced by consensus and coalition building, unlike that national policy process which is largely influenced by shifting public moods and opinion as well as changes in electoral leadership). We also have to look on local power structures democratic accountabilities, business government relations and policy impacts and distribution effects (Baumgartner / Jones 1993: Cobb / Elder, 1983: Jones 1994). The nature of public policy is changing. Evaluation today has many more purposes not only accountability and learning, but also better policy planning ,improved implementation, empowerment of those without voice. Since evolution is so big in the policy system of one government or one set of policies and encompass partners, including civil society, the private sector and professional group. Consequences are surrounded by the quality of interactions. When we look at evaluation of public policy it is embedded in a changing and more complex and multi-partner public policy system. The system in which policy making, policy content and public management has been transformed in many countries and this is likely...

...LBJ Company ATTN: President of LBJ Company Dear Sir: Our investigation was completed on February 8th, 2013, and there are some concerns about the current internal control of the company. Our recommendations of the new internal control our based on Sarbanes Oxley Act; we believe this information will serve its purpose to fit the needs of LBJ Company. New Internal Control Requirements: According to the investigation, we reviewed the following areas of internal control that need to be under the Sarbanes Oxley standards: * Human Resource Control * Segregation of Duties * Establishment of Responsibilities * Physical Control * Proper Documentation Procedures * Independent Internal Verification Evaluation of Current Internal Control: There are two areas that have positive standards in the LBJ Company: * Transaction management * Risk assessment We reviewed some of the internal control within your company that shows a positive impact. We identified that the company uses pre-number invoices for cash to be posted by invoice number. LBJ’s risk assessment identified that there are certain risks that could have some negative effects if these risks are not managed properly. We do not recommend purchasing an indelible ink machine to print checks because it would violate segregation of responsibilities, which states “the responsibility for record-keeping for an asset should be separate from the physical custody of that asset” (p. 228).
