Course Project:  Implementation and Evaluation

This last part of your Leadership Intervention plan will begin with a focus on John, including his leadership effectiveness and his professional development to address gaps in the competencies needed for improvement. Once this is complete you will have successfully researched and developed your leadership intervention strategy (LIS). However, you must consider how this plan can be realistically implemented and evaluated within an organization. This final phase of the project encompasses the practical application and measurement of your plan.

On the basis of the course assigned readings and your LIS Part I and Part II paper, review your LIS case again. Complete the following tasks for your LIS project Part III.

Tasks

  • Analyze John’s effectiveness as a leader, where gaps may exist, and what leadership skills may need to improve.
  • Justify at least five key learning and professional development objectives that will enhance John’s effectiveness and a six-month learning plan to develop John’s emotional intelligence and associated competencies as well as strategies to overcome his resistance to change.
  • Evaluate how your six-month LIS will be implemented and measured including at least three metrics you will employ to measure and track results as well as how you will measure its ROI.
  • Assess how the application of emotional intelligence and leadership theory will minimize change resistance and foster appreciation and organization support of your plan.
  • Provide a detailed summary of your six-month LIS, including:
    1. The positive changes you hope to achieve
    2. Justification of your methods and strategies
    3. Potential challenges or roadblocks to your plan
    4. Strategies and tactics for overcoming these challenges
    5. A timeline for implementation and review of each component of the plan

Important hint: You might find it helpful to begin each section of the paper by discussing the key themes and cues you observe. Then, do research on those key themes to both broaden and deepen your evaluation of the case and your understanding of the important issues. In the final product, about half your written evaluation of each topic should be research. About half should be application to the case study.

7. Polio

8. Measles

9. HIV

2. Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of the disease.

3. Discuss the epidemiology triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include host factors, agent factors, (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations for the community, schools, or general population?

4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, data collecting, reporting, data analysis and follow up).

5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s) contribute to the resolving or reducing the impact of disease.

6. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How this is addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.

A minimum three peer reviewed or professional references is required.

Assessment plays a significant role in the educational setting. Educators may want to assess what students have learned in class, or they may want to find out the extent to which students are able to learn more advance material. A variety of testing instruments are used in all levels of education.

Write a 750-1,000-word paper about  the significance of intelligence testing. Include the following in your paper:

An explanation of the significance of intelligence tests

  • The attributes of the test to include normative culture, language, and so forth
  • An example of when it would be appropriate to administer the test and why
  • A minimum of three scholarly resources

OK, Kant is HARD to understand.  But the reading is pretty short and the slides are pretty helpful.  So, I’m hoping you can piece enough of his ideas together to answer one (or more) of the following questions.  Please make sure your responses are substantial in length and detail.

1. “Act only on that maxim that you can, at the same time, will to be a universal law”.  This is Kant’s CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE.  Explain what this means, in your own words, focusing on how this becomes a way of setting up MORAL LAWS for people to follow.

2. Kant’s theory focuses on RESPECT FOR PERSONS.  Explain how this respect works and why Kant thinks this is a central moral principle.

3. How does AUTONOMY factor into Kant’s moral theory, and what role does it play in his ethical theory.

4. There are several objections to Kant’s view in the text (165-170).  Pick one and explain it, in your own words, and try to clarify how this objection works and what Kant might say in response.

5. A practical example: Kant very famously said that you can NEVER lie.  The Categorical Imperative forbids lying in ANY case or circumstance.  Imagine a scenario: your neighbor, Lisa, rushes to your door, frantic.  She says an axe murderer is looking for kill her.  She asks you to hide her in your home, and you do.  A few minutes later, a man with an axe knocks on your door and asks, calmly, “is Lisa here?  I need to see her!”  He has asked you a direct (Yes/No) question.  You have to decide whether to lie or tell the truth.  Kant seems to think you MUST tell the truth here.  How do you reply?  Why?
