Explore Your State’s Professional Development System

 

You should now have a better understanding of early childhood professional development systems. Let's use that knowledge to identify how a professional development system can assist you in your own career.

For this assignment:

  1. Review your state's professional development system (North Carolina).
  2. Identify the process and requirements for joining the professional development registry if available; join if possible/practical.
  3. Explore what being part of a professional development system and registry means for your career.
  4. Identify strengths and weaknesses of the professional development system from your perspective as an early childhood professional in the system.
  5. Write a 2-3 page paper sharing your findings and thoughts as well as your experience joining the registry, if applicable.

Reflection Astronomy

 

Over the past five weeks, you have use the Stellarium planetarium software to plan an observation, examine a number of celestial objects, and test astronomical hypotheses for yourself. In a 1-2 page length paper in APA format, please reflect on the past work you have done and answer the following questions:

  • How did the previous laboratory exercises help you to understand the scientific method and how astronomy uses observations to test hypotheses and theories?
  • Which of the five activities did you find to be the most interesting or educational?
  • Did you find the Stellarium program easy or difficult to use? What would you recommend to the programmer of Stellarium to make any changes or add any additional features?
  • If you had to use Stellarium to devise your own new laboratory exercise, what aspect of the program would you use? What astronomical objects would you focus on?

Assessment 5 – Journal Article Summary – Due In 22 Hours

THIS IS DUE IN 22 HOURS. I HAVE PROVIDED THE INSTRUCTIONS, ALONG WITH ATTACHING ALL THE INFORMATION POSTED TO HELP UNDERSTAND BETTER. 


ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


 

For this assessment, you will identify a published research article either in the print literature or online in the Capella University Library. Your article must be based on empirical (data-based) research; qualitative or purely descriptive research is not appropriate. Select a journal article in your career specialization that reports a correlation, a test, a one-way ANOVA, or some combination of these test statistics. The library guides listed in the Resources area can help you to locate appropriate articles.

The intent of this assessment is to:

  • Expose you to professional literature in your discipline.
  • Provide practice in the interpretation of statistical results contained in an empirical (data-based) journal article.

Paper

 Given the two theories discussed in this unit (LMX and transformational), reflect on situations in which you have seen both employed. Reflect on how you perceived both theories manifested in each specific situation


  Include your own self-analysis of how you might have performed in each of the situations. The Leader-Member Exchange (LMX 7) Questionnaire on page 157 and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire on page 191 of your textbook are good places to start to promote self-analysis in these areas. 


 Your reflection paper will be a minimum of three pages full pages, not counting the title and reference pages. You must use at least two sources, one of which may be your textbook to support your reflection. All sources used must have proper citations. Your paper, including all references, will be formatted in APA style 


Master Degree Program Must be APA, you must know APA

Acceptable Use Policy (#2)

 

Create an Acceptable Use of Technology Policy (AUP) for an organization

Use any presentation software for your presentation (e.g. PowerPoint). You may use the Notes feature of PowerPoint if you want to include some additional talking points. Since your audience will be teachers, be sure to incorporate principles of adult learning as appropriate (TF-VII.C.1). There are some Web sites related to adult learning theory in the weekly lecture of this course. Use these as well as other course readings and research.

Baseline

 

  1. Baseline Data Collection. In week 4, candidates collected  baseline data for the social behavior identified for a minimum of one week with a minimum of five data points. The data should clearly indicate that the behavior, if left without intervention, will continue. In addition to recording data candidates will also keep a reflective journal of their experiences daily for a minimum of 5 days. Explain what the student is doing, the intensity of the behavior, your thoughts on how the proposed intervention will change the behavior or whether the behavior intervention should be modified.
  2. Provide a defensible stability statement. Write a statement of stability (state how baseline data was collected and if the behavior was consistent). This shows that the targeted behavior is continuous. Example: Joshua was observed for 40 minutes a day, for ten days.  Over these ten days, his work was che

Research Report

 

One implication of diverse cultures is that elements of one culture (e.g., values, attitudes, behaviors, perceptions) can create conflict with elements of another culture.

Prepare a report on cultural diversity and conflict. In your report, address the following: **3-4 pages***

  • Evaluate the interaction of cultural diversity with conflict in international negotiations.
  • Assess the important indicators of diversity management in organizations. What is seen, heard, experienced when diversity management is or is not present?
  • Analyze some of the social and organizational consequences of not concentrating on diversity management, including negotiations and the organization in general.
  • Evaluate how organizations might capitalize on diversity in its negotiation party for producing better negotiated outcomes
