...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...

...Louis Vuitton is known for using high quality raw materials in all of its products, the company has an empowering position to observe its products quality by marketing them through its own stores all over the world . Since the founding, the products are made by hand which differentiate the brand among its competitors in the industry. Before 2005, it took 20 to 30 craftsmen to put together each Louis Vuitton bag. Over the course of about eight days, separate workers would sew together leather panels, glue in linings and attach handles. For years the company paid far more attention to product design, craftsmanship and image than to the mechanics of keeping their stores stocked. With help from management consultants at McKinsey & Co., Vuitton set out to make its manufacturing process more flexible, borrowing techniques from car makers companies. Today, clusters of six to 12 workers, each of them performing several tasks, make LV-logo bags in a single day. The new settings improved company's production and the sales rose to 9% from the previous method of manufacturing. The reorganization extended beyond the factory floor. A distribution center in France used to send products directly to Vuitton's stores around the world. Now, the company is building a global distribution hub outside of Paris that will ship to six regional distribution centers: two in Japan, two elsewhere in Asia, one in the U.S. and one near Paris for European orders. Within a week of a product launch, stores...

...Grocery Shopping Walking through a grocery store you can find all different sorts of people. There’s the people that only need a few things and use a basket accordingly, there’s the people that have a smaller list and are not expecting to buy a lot but somehow when they get to the check out their cart is overflowing, or there’s always the person with three carts generously filled. It is the people that fill the baskets, carts and occasionally their own arms that keep a grocery store in business. Because of this, most employees are extremely polite and helpful when it comes to the customers; but that does not stop the customers from being rude not only to each other but to employees as well. The customers who need only a few things are often the rudest shoppers. Normally this is due to the fact that they are in a hurry. It seems as though they think the whole grocery store revolves around them and their few items. They weave in and out of other shoppers and cut off an employee that is trying to help another customer. When these shoppers need help finding something they are often demanding, impatient, and just plain rude. They tap their foot while an employee tries to find what they are looking, and if the employee comes back with bad news such as: they no longer carry that item, they are currently out of that item, or even they never had that item, that’s when the adult who should be mature and understanding throws a tantrum fit. They yell at the employee and demand to...

Of the 20 players averaging 20-plus points since February 28, Leonard leads in field goal percentage (56.1%), turnovers (0.8 per game), and is the only player to average both 2.5-plus steals and 1.5-plus blocks. This across-the-board production was key to the Spurs' 4-0 record over the span and pushed Leonard to 6th in Yahoo! Fantasy rankings over the last two weeks. This increase in usage and health for Leonard has caused Danny Green's tremendous season to dip. He posted only 11.8 points, 2.5 3s, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over his last four games. Leonard is surging at the perfect time for fantasy owners and the Spurs, who are making a push up the Western Conference standings.

...Wilt Chamberlain was a giant and played basketball like a champ should play. Larry bird was tall and skinny but had an incredibly smooth shot and was difficult to defend. He at one point led the nation in his 3 point shooting and astonished everyone. When the players in the NBA saw Michael Jordan rising up they must have thought he was going to be good but no one could have predicted how good he would turn out to be. Michael proved himself in his first year playing as a professional with his strength and determination to revive the Chicago Bulls and make them a great team once again. Basketball isn’t all about just having the skill, you have to love the game and play with passion and not let the little mistakes ruin the whole game for you’re team. It’s a sport of who’s team is molded together the best...

...management group, and increasing single & season ticket sales over a three year span. With the goal to build a “winning NBA franchise,” we will first focus on the aspects of improving the culture and employing a new face for the team. With this, it will provide a more attractive setting for “big name” free agents to come join the Warriors and bring them back into a respectable state. With the marketing strategy that I will implement, it will give the Warriors increased amount of leverage against the other 30 NBA organizations by increasing the market share by at least 4.36%. With every available free agent in the market, the Golden State Warriors have a 3.33% chance which does not include the 12 big market teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. Of the 12 big market NBA teams, they share an 8.33% percent chance as a result to the glamour of their team and culture. My goal is to raise the standard percentile of 3.33% to at least 7.69% which will now be a split between 13 different NBA teams. As a franchise and its profitability, the...

...is an American professional basketball player who plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest. Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. A heated feud between the duo and a loss in the 2004 NBA Finals was followed by O'Neal's trade from the Lakers after the 2003–04 season. Following O'Neal's departure Bryant became the cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons, setting numerous scoring records in the process. In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second most points scored in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. He was awarded the regular season's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2008.

...Angeles Lakers. * Jamison will sign a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum with the Lakers, a league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com's Dave McMenamin. * * Jamison * The 36-year-old forward will bolster the Lakers' bench with scoring and veteran leadership while pursuing the first championship ring in a career largely spent as the best player on bad teams. * He won't have that problem with the Lakers, who will have Bryant and newcomer Nash in their backcourt flanked by two elite 7-footers -- although their identities will depend on whether their apparent efforts to land Dwight Howard are successful. Jamison also will be reunited with coach Mike Brown, who was in charge of the Cavaliers when Jamison was traded to Cleveland during the 2009-10 season. * Jamison had several suitors for his services, including his hometown Charlotte Bobcats, the Brooklyn Nets and the Golden State Warriors, his employer for his first five NBA seasons. For a player who has never advanced past the second round of the playoffs in 14 NBA seasons, the Lakers' chance to contend apparently was too enticing to Jamison. * The Lakers are the fifth NBA team for Jamison, who averaged 17.2 points for an awful Cavs team last season despite shooting a career-low 40.3 percent. He is averaging an impressive 19.5 points per game in his career, never scoring fewer than 15.8 points per game since his rookie season with Golden State. * Jamison could be a huge upgrade to the Lakers' bench...

...When it comes to basketball, many people off the top of the head say Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson. Many people think that Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest or they say LeBron James. Which LeBron is just not there in the way Kobe is there now. Kobe Bryant came in the game as a young one he came straight out of high school, just like LeBron James, Kobe was drafted to the charlotte hornets but was traded to the L.A Lakers. Within his first year he was known around the league as a high flyer, also winning the slam dunk contest. Just by this alone Kobe is way ahead of LeBron, but there is more to this story that just meets the eye. Kobe Bryant has set more records than LeBron, but Kobe has been in the league longer than LeBron. Kobe Bryant has also made history scoring more points than wilt chamberlain scoring a one hundred points in a single game, not only that Kobe Bryant has led the league in scoring for number of years. LeBron hasn’t led yet since he has been in the league yeah he can score but not as reliable as Kobe. When these two play it’s the most watched game in the NBA. The one thing that Kobe has that LeBron will never has is a center that knows the game and can score at any time. LeBron only has shooting guards and that is what is really killing LeBron when it comes down to winning. Besides of winning Kobe has got way more rings than LeBron, on top of that he has done it more than one time, and also without a good big man. Kobe Bryant puts the team on his back...

...ten in scoring, rebounding, blocks and shooting percentage. Shaq would fail at the free throw line though. This is why other NBA centers would just foul him instead of letting him have an easy shot. This became known as “Hack-a-Shack”. He became the first player in NBA history to earn player of the week in only his first week in the league. He would be with the Orlando Magic from 1992 to 1996. Shaquille O’Neal, with the Los Angeles Lakers, would be one of his most set destinations over his career. After Shaquille became a free agent in the 95-96 seasons he would sign onto the Lakers roster for a seven year, $121 million dollar contract. He insisted he did not join the Lakers for the money. He wanted to join so he could, “drink Pepsi and wear Reebok”. He just wanted to play the game! With the tandem of O’Neal and teenage superstar Kobe Bryant, expectations for the Lakers were high. In 1999 the Lakers would acquire Phil Jackson. Jackson would invent the “triangle offense” the Lakers would have tremendous success. In 2000, 2001, and 2002 the Lakers would win consecutive...

...out of high school. He was soon traded to the L.A. Lakers, where he went on to win five championships and become one of the leading scorers of the NBA. He has had a famous rivalry with one-time teammate Shaquille O'Neal and was once accused of sexual assault, though charges were later dropped. Bryant played on both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic teams, winning two consecutive gold medals with teammates Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, among several other top players. Early Life Kobe Bean Bryant was born August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Named after a Japanese steakhouse, Kobe Bryant is the son of former NBA player Joe "Jellybean" Bryant.

...Two of the most polarizing figures in the NBA today are Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. Kobe Bryant and Lebron James come on the top of the list just because of their remarkable performances and their achievements throughout their careers. They both have started their sports career from the school age and then they excelled in their respective sports of basketball. Kobe Bryant plays as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers and Lebron James plays for the Miami Heat. Lebron James also referred as a “King James” just because of his moves and his utmost versatility in basketball, while Kobe is referred to as the “Black Mamba”. Although they may seem to be alike the two are very different in their own respects. For instance, both players have the ability to score the ball. Kobe is a natural born scorer; many call him one of the greatest offensive players to ever play the game. Kobe averages nearly 26 points per game over his 17 year pro career; anywhere on the court Kobe is a threat because of his basketball fundamentals and ability to score from anywhere on the court. Lebron on the other hand, is also a good scorer but is not considered to be on the level of Kobe Bryant. Lebron averaging nearly 25 points per game through his career which is not bad, but he is challenged to work extremely hard for his points. However, Lebron in terms of physicality is way above Bryant. Weighing in at 260 pounds of muscle and is listed at the height of 6’9 Lebron is considered to be...
