Choose one of the above topics and explain deep, this also base on the personality.

the following are comment that some people wrote about me that needs to be add on the paper. It needs to flow on the paper.

1st comment

“You’re hard working and responsible person. Very respectful and know got to get along with others very well. You have the right attitude for the job and can make the job look easy regardless of its difficulties. You have what it takes to be a leader at any company you desire to be. However, due to the current company’s situation I see lack of motivation. Not necessary your fault because the company is responsible for the well being of its employees. But you’re a really smart person and have a quick reaction and solution when is needed. In other words, I believe you can do more if you put you’re head to it. You’re over qualified for your current position and i think a good step for you right now would be learning bookings and getting involved more with the operation. Could be a really great experience and will show others what you’re capable of. Which to me, you are a very capable person.”

2nd comment

“From my experience,  Nadreen is a very caring and loving person. Always has time for her loved ones. She is a very dedicated and motivated women, nothing can stand in her way once she has her mind set. I will say that she can sometimes be hard headed, she likes to do things her way when sometimes her way is not right and won’t listen until she’s frustrated or upset. Although that doesn’t really hold her back, she gets along with everyone. Her personality attracts people to her. I always love to be around her it’s always an adventure.”

Summarizes what you needed to ask and who you needed to ask in your data gathering.

Building on last week’s initial scouting work, this week you will design a data gathering process for verifying, contradicting, or otherwise clarifying some of your observations and conclusions in last week’s scouting memo (e.g., Does your organization develop people? Why/why not?). Data can be gathered through a variety of methods including interviews, observations, group discussions, and questionnaires.

Your “big question” for this week is what are the individual,  team, and leadership development needs? In other words, how could your organization improve its practices regarding individual, team, and leader development? What needs to change? 

Planning and Execution:

In this week’s work, you will build and implement a basic data gathering plan for the organization. In your plan, address the following themes

  • Who do you need to ask (to determine the individual, team, and leadership development needs)? 
  • What do you need to ask (what specific things do you need to ask to determine what needs to improve)? 
  • How will you ask (what methods will you use to ask)?
  • Your data gathering plan should include at least five questions (what you will ask) and at least two different methods (how you will ask them). 

After you have built your data gathering plan, implement at least some phase of it. You will likely not be able to implement your full plan (due to time restrictions). However, implement enough of your plan that you can gather some actual data to analyze. You may also include hypothetical data as needed to fill in some gaps. 

Deliverable:

Prepare a one diagnosis memo that accomplishes the following things: 

  • Reminds your readers about the organization you are working with (i.e., what is the organization?).
  • Summarizes what you needed to ask and who you needed to ask in your data gathering.
  • Provides at least five questions you asked
  • Indicates at least two different methods you used to gather data. 
  • Summarizes actual (and hypothetical as needed) data you gathered when you asked the questions using the methods you proposed.
  • Determined at least three developmental needs for the organization emerging from the data

Discuss at least one strategy per theory type to implement the theory in your classroom environment in order to create a healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environment for young children. Explain how this directly connects to motivation.

There are multiple influences on early development and learning. Knowing the theories is not enough for teachers; they need to have a deep understanding of how to apply them to the classroom and in the home.

Imagine you are an early childhood educator, and your director has asked you to give a 12-15 slide digital presentation to your students’ families on child development theories. After giving this presentation, families should have a better understanding of their child’s development and ways to support their learning throughout early childhood.

Be sure your presentation addresses the following:

  • The importance of understanding cognitive, behavioral, and social development theories for the early childhood classroom and their connections to learning. Include at least one theorist to support each theory.
  • Discuss at least one strategy per theory type to implement the theory in your classroom environment in order to create a healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environment for young children. Explain how this directly connects to motivation.
  • Provide at least one strategy per theory type for families to consider and implement in the home that reflects the theory.
  • Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly references.
