21st Century Instructional Plan: Student Population

 

 

Part 1: Instructional Plan Design 

This week you will construct a new instructional plan by considering your student population. Regardless of grade level, your class consists of 27 students. Of those, two are diagnosed with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in reading and math. One student has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Moreover, you just received a student last week who is not fluent in English (ELL). Your school follows a full English immersion program. Therefore, you and the student are getting very little “extra” support.

Synthesize what you have learned thus far by developing a new or continuing instructional plan utilizing one of the templates provided below. It is practical to construct a lesson that would naturally occur after the previous lesson plan you designed in Week Three—a continuation of the lesson but with different instructional strategies and student activities/assessments. If you select this approach, your lesson cannot be a replica of last week’s plan. Remember, your  lesson should be designed to occur during a single class period  that lasts anywhere between approximately 30 and 90 minutes in length and focuses on content pertaining to either English/Language arts or Math. Do not construct a unit of instruction.

  • Hunter Template 
  • Understanding by Design (UbD) template 
  • Common Core Template 

Your instructional plan must include the following components regardless of the format you choose:

 

  • Grade level content standard (using either math or English Language Arts [ELA] standards).
  • Learning objective (clear, measurable, describes WHO will do WHAT and HOW).
  • Gradual Release of Responsibility (each phase clearly labeled and utilized).
  • Considerations for unique learners (differentiation, accommodations, modifications through instructional activities AND assessments for the specific students identified as having diagnosed disabilities and language barriers. *You must be more deliberate in how and where you interject your differentiation, modifications, accommodations, and so on within your activities, etc.
  • Evidence of purposeful rigor and student thinking;
    • At least two levels of Depth of Knowledge (DOK), clearly labeled.
  • At least one purposeful question posed by teacher to promote critical thinking.
  • Assessment FOR learning;
    • Embed three different ways to assess FOR learning including authentic formative assessment.

Part 2: Description

Provide a one- to two-page (not including title and reference pages) synopsis of your plan, following APA formatting requirements. Elaborate on how you determined the types of accommodations/modifications needed throughout your lesson activities and assessments. Describe how this plan sets ALL of your students up for mastering the objective and a future summative assessment.

 ****Each of the 4 paragraphs need to begin referencing the subject*********

 

You are the HR manager for a small retail company that sells a high volume of products over the Internet.  Your company is growing rapidly due to increased Internet sales. Your company prides itself on providing high-quality products and services. The Customer Service department is integral to the success of the company. Over the past few months, the Customer Service department has been unable to fill its openings for Customer Service Representative positions. You suspect there could be a number of reasons for this, but you know you first need to look at the job, the work flow, the knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience the company is seeking to ensure the job reflects the current workload and expectations.

 

 

Write a six (6) page paper in which you:

 

  1. Examine at least three (3) approaches that you can take as the HR manager to conduct a job analysis of the Customer Service Representative position. Suggest the major pros and cons of each selected approach. Recommend the approach that would be most effective in conducting the job analysis for this organization. Justify your recommendation.
  2. Select two (2) out of the four (4) approaches to job design that are the most important for you to consider. Suggest two (2) challenges that you may encounter when designing a job using each of the selected approaches. Support your response with specific examples to illustrate the potential advantages and disadvantages of using each approach.
  3. Using the four (4) approaches to job design, create two (2) strategies that the organization can implement to attract and select qualified applicants for the Customer Service Representative position. Justify the main reasons that the selected strategies would be effective.
  4. Propose three (3) ways that you can use the information obtained from a job analysis to measure the performance of Customer Service Representatives. Provide a rationale for your response.
  5. Use at least four (4) quality academic (peer-reviewed) resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

 

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

  • Analyze issues involved in job design, resource planning, and recruitment.
  • Evaluate an organization’s approaches to and procedures for training employees to meet organizational goals.
  • Examine performance management issues and processes.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in human resource management foundations.
  • Write clearly and concisely about human resource management foundations using proper writing mechanics.

Transplant Criteria

/in /by

There are more people in need of an organ transplant than there are donor organs, and as such, there is a long waiting list of patients waiting to receive their transplant. Some of these patients will die before they receive the organ that could save their life. A waiting list is used to maintain the allocation of donor organs to patients.

For this module’s assignment, design your own 1-2 page organ transplant waiting list criteria. Some points to consider include the following: What are the factors that will establish a patient’s order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention? What happens if a patient exaggerates his or her condition in order to receive preferential treatment on the list?
