Discussion 1Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 7 in the textbook. Next, choose one of the following questions that were asked in this chapter of Ria Palet, of the National School District:How might you support and mentor a staff member who was struggling to meet the expectations of the job? Address at least two different issues in your post. (Examples: issues with time management, maintaining confidentiality, and handling misbehavior. You may use these or your own choices.)
How might you challenge a staff member to continue to grow if she has been in the position successfully for a long time? What would you do to support him/her? Address at least two different issues in your post. (Example: teaching in the same classroom/ same age for a number of years, has not explored the idea of varying curriculum, and/or has not explored professional development opportunities.)
Based on the question you choose, create a four-week plan to support your staff member. The following must be included in your four-week plan:At least one resource and an explanation of why you included this resource to benefit your staff member.
A reflection focus and question piece. What is your end goal?
Two face-to-face meetings with a predetermined focus question for both meetings.
An evaluation component for the final meeting that will prove that this intervention was successful. How will you know that your plan was successful?
Complete your four-week plan as a Word document and add as an attachment to the discussion to include the days you plan on meeting.
Guided Response: After reviewing several of your classmates’ posts, choose two peers to respond to with the following:Add one additional resource and explain why this would be beneficial for this staff member.
Add one additional reflection question that you believe would be good for the staff member and director to discuss.
You must also include the following in your response:Why you think their plan is successful.
What you would suggest to increase the intensity of this plan, so the staff member is successful.
How you believe the staff member would react to this plan and why.
Discussion 2Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 8: Collaborating with Families.According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), in the position statement on developmentally appropriate practice (2009), “Practitioners work in collaborative partnerships with families, establishing and maintaining regular, frequent two-way communication with them” (p. 23). Trust between home and school is built over time, starting with the very first phone call or visit to the program. It is crucial to begin a positive relationship with your students’ families in order to best support your students.For this discussion, you will outline a program that you can implement in your program and with your staff to foster a strong home-school relationship throughout the school year.Include the following:One detailed strategy that you can implement the first week of school that fosters a positive home-school relationship throughout the year.
A monthly plan or strategy or theme from September to June that you will use to foster a strong home-school relationship throughout the year. (10 months and 10 strategies)
One benefit you expect to see from your focus on fostering a positive home-school relationship throughout the year.
Guided Response: Review your peers’ strategies and choose two classmates to reply to with a further explanation. Choose four of their monthly strategies and complete the following:Elaborate on each strategy by sharing an additional suggestion or activity to enhance communication. (List the strategy or theme that you are referring to.)
Offer a suggestion for one of your classmate’s chosen strategies or themes that provides a solution if the parent is not responsive (e.g., is not returning phone calls, is not visiting the school, or the parent avoids you at pick up times). Explain why you think this additional suggestion will make an impact.

I need someone to watch this short video linked below, approximately 5 minutes in length and ANSWER the following 3 questions. This should be done about one page minimum on Microsoft word. Some notes listed below, and QUESTIONS ARE NUMBERED.Video:http://wwnorton.com/common/mplay/6.7/?p=/college/anthro/culturalanthro/vid/a-wife-among-wives-1&cc=1David and Judith MacDougall spent several years among the Turkana of northwestern Kenya engaged in ethnographic research. In this selection, the MacDougalls describe the process of initiating contact and laying the groundwork for an ethnographic film of the Turkana people.
Questions:How long did it take for the MacDougalls to begin filming? Why did they wait so long? How important are personal relationships in doing ethnographic research?
How did the Turkana respond when the MacDougalls asked what they should film if they want to depict how the Turkana live?
At one point, a Turkana woman turns the camera on the anthropologist. How important is the exchange of ideas to ethnographic research? How do you think that exchange might affect the MacDougalls’s perception of their own culture?
