...An in-class activity I would have my students participate in would a warm-up activity for the beginning of the class period. Some of the reasons that I would have my students do a warm-up activity are that it helps get the students to start thinking about the subject and begin to focus on it. This will help the students make their transition mentally from their last class to my class. I would also use the warm-up as a way to set the tone for the upcoming lesson, like a building block to get their thought process going in the right direction for the day. Most importantly, I would use the warm-up to allow myself to assess the student’s attitude and ability for the day to help me determine the best way for to form groups for other activities for the day. A behavioral expectation that I would have for my students for the warm-up activity is that they would have their materials (ex. Pencil and paper) out on their desk ready to begin the warm-up after the bell rings. Another behavioral expectation I would have of my students for the warm-up activity that before they begin the activity, they take time to reflect on the prompts I gave them for the assignment and begin to work quietly and individually. An evaluation method I would use to ensure that my students have an understanding of my behavioral expectations is to have a poster up on my wall that is a reminder of the classroom expectations and pointed out to the students who are not working on the warm-up. The classroom expectations...

...Task 2, Community Health (C228) Edward Croston Western Governors University Task 2, Community Health (C228) MEASLES Measles was at one time in the not too distant past, a killer of those that became infected. Measles has been around for centuries. The first published, written account of the disease was in the ninth century by a Persian doctor. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website on measles, it was not until 1757 that a Scottish physician, named Francis Home, proved that something infectious in the blood was causing the disease. By the early 1900’s, the United States began requiring every healthcare provider and laboratory to report all identified cases, with approximately 6,000 deaths being related to measles each year. Almost all children contracted the disease by the time they were the age of 15, with an estimated yearly infection rate of three to four million United States citizens. Each year, it is estimated, 400 to 500 people died from measles, 48,000 hospitalized, and 4,000 developing encephalitis as a side effect of the disease. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine was made available to the public in 1963. The MMR has significantly reduced the reported cases of measles. In the year 2000 measles was declared eradicated in the United States. But since then, the disease has returned from time to time. ("Measles History," 2014, p. 2) Measles is a virus that has an incubation period of approximately 14 days. It is known...

Factors such as "limited access to safe drinking water" is a non-problem to a child born in a developed country. In regards, to diseases many individuals in developing countries do not live long enough to contract any chronic illness. Developing countries are plagues with acute diseases, like Malaria and STI's that demolish their population because they lack efficient health care....

...Task Stream 2 Microbiology can be broken down into categorizations based upon the environmental conditions necessary for organisms in which to grow. Two large categories of microorganisms are those requiring oxygen to live (obligate aerobes) and those which can grow with oxygen but have the ability to also grow without it (facultative aerobes). The obligate aerobes produce more energy from nutrients than anaerobes by using oxygen as the “final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, which produces most of the ATP in these organisms”(Betsy & Keogh, 2005, p.104). The facultative microorganisms are able to use oxygen but can also go without by using fermentation or anaerobic respiration when it is not available (Betsy & Keogh,2005). The microorganisms being cultured in our first task (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) are obligate aerobes. Microorganisms can grow in a variety of conditions with temperature being one of those variables, but the types we frequently encounter in our environment thrive in fairly warm temperatures. Both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are examples of these, which are referred to as mesophiles. Extreme temperatures (as in deep freezing or auotoclaves for example) are effective in destroying microorganisms due to their inability to thrive outside of more moderate temperatures). Growth of these two organisms would be optimized by remaining between 25 and 40 degrees celsius (Betsy...

...Task 2 A Mahatma Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India on October 2, 1869, in. After studying law in London, England, he left for South Africa in 1893, where he spent twenty years fighting biased legislation against Indians. As an innovator of passive opposition of mass non-violent civil defiance, he turn out to be a major political and spiritual leader (Biography.com 2013). In 1914, Gandhi went back to India and became the leader of the Indian National Congress and gave his support the Home Rule movement, furthermore advocating a strategy of non-violent non-cooperation to attain independence. Gandhi’s main objective was to assist poor laborers and farmers protest discriminating taxation and prejudices. His struggled was to liberate women, ease poverty, and stop class discrimination. Mahatma Gandhi main goal was for India to rule itself (Biography.com 2013). Mahatma Gandhi spent two years in jail, from 1922-24, for conspiracy. In 1930, he marched 200 miles to the ocean to gather salt to show defiance to governmental control. Gandhi sat at the London Round Table Conference in 1931, regarding Indian constitutional reform. In 1946, he negotiated for a new constitutional structure with the Cabinet Mission. In 1947 after the independence, Gandhi worked to stop the Hindu-Muslim conflict in Bengal, which eventually caused his assassination (Biography.com 2013). Mahatma Gandhi's pledge to non-violence and conviction to simple living has been an inspiration of hope for oppressed...

...Leadership is important in managing and organizing the structure of the organization while trying to maintain a profitable company that takes into consideration employees, shareholders, customers and board of directors, etc. Another attribute of a great leader is managing diversity in the workplace. However, diversity includes many different issues and needs to be managed and if done properly can lead to competitive advantages for the company. Thomas A. Kochan, professor at MIT, stated “Diversity can enhance business performance only if the proper training is provided and the organizational culture supports diversity (Dubrin, 2010). Managing Cultural Diversity: Managing cultural diversity is not an easy task, however, when incorporated into the organizations core values, is makes it easier to incorporate (Dubrin, 2010). Below is a diagram that provides a breakdown of areas or issues that may need to be looked at to evaluate the possibility of creating and leading a culturally diverse organization. These areas may help to identify areas where a competitive advantage may be available in the organization. In such a culturally diverse world and as the organization makes decisions that will impact them globally, these discussions are vital for the success of the company. Whether not decisions are made to implement or not to implement decisions based on diversity within the organization, these ideas, may identify some of the organizations strengths and weaknesses.

...Part A & C The first educational resource that I chose was a video though Kahn academy. I chose this because not only do the students watch a video about third grade math they have to work a few math problems. This educational resource is appropriate for most of the student population. The video is for third grade math so that makes it appropriate for early childhood. The video gives gradual instructions with visual aids, which can help students who have learning disabilities. The videos on Kahn academy are appropriate for gifted and talented students because the video is based on what the students is learning and what they know. This video is appropriate for students who have challenging behaviors because the video is active and can keep a students interest. The video is appropriate for English language learners because on the website you can choose a variety of languages to hear it in. The video on third grade math warm ups is not appropriate for students with hearing impairments because it does not have closed captioning as an option. The video was not appropriate for students with visual impairments because the video shows different math activities in step-by-step instructions. If a student cannot visually see the steps, I am not sure that the video will help them. Overall, I think that the Kahn academy video would be appropriate for most of the students. The second educational resource that I chose was the Scholastic website as a...

Situations when the No Late Work Accepted Policy may not be applicable 3. Advantages and disadvantages of the No Late Work Accepted Policy Conclusion 1. Current status of the No Late Work Accepted Policy in organizations No Late Work Accepted Policy ‘No Late Work Accepted Policy’ is a plan of action adopted by an institution or an individual in order to make firm the manner in which individuals manage their roles (Jha 22). The major aim of the policy is to ensure that individuals complete a task assigned within a given deadline. The policy has many merits. Primarily, it ensures that an individual keeps time. Thus, time management forms an essential ingredient of the No Late Work Accepted Policy and is particularly crucial in managing an individual’s career, and the improving an individual’s life (Jha 24). The No Late Work Accepted Policy seeks to ensure that individuals remain focused on an assigned role. The primary intention of the No Late Work Accepted Policy is to prohibit individuals from misusing the leniency previously accorded to submission of assigned tasks. Many people treat late tasks as an exceptional occurrence, as a result, many people have developed the habit of procrastination until the assigned task is overdue and the consequences may relate to penalties and minor sufferings...

...cannot get them all done in eight hours? If you answered yes to any, or all, of these questions then you most likely suffer from the effects of attempting to multitask. The reality of our human world is that we are not physically or mentally capable of completing more than one complex task at a time. Let us start by defining the term multitasking. Merriam-Webster defines multitasking as: “The ability to do several things at the same time.” (1) The American Psychological Association (APA) defines multitasking in a similar fashion, but also adds the term “switch” at the end. The addition of the word switch actually tells us volumes about the true nature of multitasking. Studies show that multitasking is actually the human mind switching from one task to another. (4) In general, the switch takes only fraction of a second to complete. This quick switch gives us the allusion that we are performing more than one task at a time, thus multitasking is accomplished, or so we think. In fact, according to a study conducted in 2001 by Joshua Rubinstein, Jeffrey Evans and David Meyer found that participants lost significant amounts of time as they switched between multiple tasks and lost even more time as the tasks became increasingly complex. (9) Scientists have broken the process down into two stages, first “Goal Setting” and second...

...key elements that are needed when conducting a good strong job analysis. This article showed me that I needed to include both essential and non-essential task descriptions. It also gave specifics on the type of equipment that would need to be used and physical demands as well as many other things to include in my analysis. I was honestly hoping this article would help me more. Though I found some of it useful, it didn’t really help me understand what exactly I need to do to gather the information needed in the job analysis. The second article I found was by Jody Wheaton. Her article is all about how conducting a proper job analysis can improve your business. In the article she describes different ways to actually conduct a job analysis. The thing I took from this article was mostly the importance of actually doing research into the job. Because of this article, I actually sought out the HR department and found out what kind of things they would actually need in an HR reception/assistant position. I wanted to know what kind of equipment they would be using and what exactly they would like that person in that role to do. Jody Wheaton states that “Knowledge, skills, abilities, work behaviors, tasks associated with the job, competencies and cultural aspects of the organization should all be part of the data collection process.”2 I was able to add some of these aspects into my paper as well, allowing it to be a little more detailed. This article helped me by explaining to me the...
