Write a 4-page section of a request for proposal (RFP) in which you address the topics of memory acquisition, apply motivational theory to behaviors, and create a sample lesson plan to add credibility to your proposal.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
In Assessments 1 and 2, you completed Part 1 and Part 2 of a request for proposal (RFP) from a nearby school district. Part 1 includes seeking individuals or groups to design a training and professional development in-service day about the brain and mind from a biopsychological perspective for their educators. For this assessment, use the Assessment 3 Proposal Template (linked in the Resources) to create Part 3 of the RFP by completing the following. Your objective is to provide information to support educators in their work with students and parents.

VII. Provide an Example From Your Own Memories

Think of an example of disagreeing memories from your own life. Document your memories and note where there are differences and why that might be the case.
Explain how this exercise will be used to teach educators about memory acquisition; specifically:
Outline memory acquisition.
Create a memory mapping of the brain.
Explain how information is processed.
VIII. Motivational Theories

Summarize these theories:
Drive theory.
Incentive theory.
Arousal theory.
Brain state theory.
For each theory, identify a common behavior. Hypothesize what might have prompted the behavior from the perspective of each motivational theory.
IX. Create an Example Lesson

Create an example lesson using topics from one of these areas: science, social studies, history, math, et cetera. Select a topic that you feel comfortable with, and it should be relatively easy for you to create a short lesson.
Your lesson should be an example of how educators can use memory acquisition and motivational theory to teach, work with, and influence students. The purpose of you creating this lesson is to demonstrate your understanding of motivational theory, not the lesson content. In other words, if you select history as a topic, you will not be evaluated on the history content. However, keep in mind that whatever topic you select for your example lesson, you should strive to be as accurate as possible to lend credibility to your proposal.
Use the Capella University Library to research the material and support your proposal.

Example Assessment: You may use the assessment example, linked in the Assessment Example section of the Resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.

Joe Smith is the current governor of New Jersey and is being blackmailed by numerous individuals and is having a very difficult time keeping his blackmailers from going public. He has been keeping them at bay with two kinds of payoff: money from the State Treasury and political favors. Through bitter experience, he has learned that each payoff in cash gives him peace for an average of about 1 month, while each political favor seems to earn him about a month and a half of reprieve. To maintain his flawless reputation in the State, he feels he cannot afford any revelations about his tainted past to come to light within the next year, when he will announce his bid for Senate. Thus it is imperative that his blackmailers be kept at bay for 12 months. Furthermore, he would like to keep the number of cash payoffs at no more than one-quarter of the combined number of payoffs because the outward flow of cash might arouse suspicion on the part of the State Treasurer. The Governor feels that he can do no more than seven political favors per year without arousing undue suspicion in the State. The cash payoffs tend to deplete his travel budget. (The treasury has been subsidizing his numerous trips to D.C.) He estimates that each time he removed money from the treasury it will cost him four trips. On the other hand because the administering of political favors tends to cost him valuable travel time, he suspects that each political favor will cost him about three trips. Now, he would obviously like to keep his blackmailers silenced and lose as few trips as possible. What is he to do? How many trips will he lose in the next year? Solve both graphically and by using the simplex solver. See rubric for all required elements.
