How would you then go about developing, documenting and implementing the communications and team-building strategy?

The Virtual Project: Managing Tomorrow’s Team Today’ Question 1: Knowing the need to be inclusive in bringing the remote working team members together as one project team, what types of activities might you suggest to the Project Manager to make this happen? How would you then go about developing, documenting and implementing the communications and team-building strategy? What activities would you have the PM be responsible for? What aspects are better leveraged from the main organisation? Question 2: Projects distributed or otherwise are hosted through an organisation and must report their delivery status and performance to the parent business. In contrast to a ‘local’ project team what reporting aspects are unique to a geographically distributed project? What role will technology play in information collection and report generation? Question 3: Select any two issues from those listed in the “Virtual Project Management Suggestions” section in Chapter 5 of Meredith, Mantel & Shafer (2014) and describe a personal ‘project management’ experience dealing with each.

Analyzing Children’s Cognitive Development [WLOs: 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 3]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

  • Read Chapter 6: Cognitive Development: Piagetian, Core Knowledge, and Vygotskian Perspectives
  • Read Chapter 7: Cognitive Development: An Information-Processing Perspective
  • Complete the Analyzing Children’s Cognitive Development Pre-Activity
  • Complete the Cognitive Development Self-Check
  • Watch the VLS video: Cognitive Development: Infant Block Play (Links to an external site.) (Virtual Lab School, n.d.).

As presented in your text, there are several perspectives which attempt to explain how learning occurs; but regardless of the theoretical perspective, cognitive development is highly dependent on experiences for development. You have been assigned by the Analyzing Children’s Cognitive Development Pre-Activity to one theoretical perspective of cognitive development: Piagetian, Vygotskian, or information-processing.

In your discussion post,

  • Provide a brief analysis of the behaviors you observed in the Cognitive Development: Infant Block Play (Links to an external site.) video based on the theoretical perspective to which you’ve been assigned. Refer to the table below for some of the key ideas or terms that are associated with each perspective. These should be included in your initial post.
  • Propose at least two strategies or activities that could be used to support development and is consistent with the theoretical perspective to which you were assigned.
  • Discuss how you can involve the children’s family or community to extend the learning for one of your strategies you proposed above.

Theoretical Perspective

Key Ideas or Terms

Piagetian Perspective

schemata, assimilation, accommodation, equilibrium

Vygotskian Perspective

private speech, scaffolding, intersubjectivity, zone of proximal development

Information-Processing Perspective

attention, short and long-term memory, information storage and retrieval, metacognitive knowledge, cognitive self-regulation

Examine the underlying historical and economic reasons behind the quest for alternatives to incarcerating offenders in jails and prisons.

Students, please view the “Submit a Clickable Rubric Assignment” in the Student Center. Instructors, training on how to grade is within the Instructor Center.   Assignment 2: Alternatives to Incarceration  Recent study illustrates that nearly two (2) million juveniles are processed through juvenile courts across the United States each year. Depending on the nature of the crime, juveniles may face detention or incarceration if they are convicted. Given the fact that many courts are reluctant to incarcerate criminal offenders, judges often consider alternatives to incarceration. The driving force behind these alternatives is to save taxpayer money yet still demand offender accountability and impose sanctions for criminal behavior. Use the Internet or Strayer databases to research the use of sanctions other than incarceration or detention for juvenile offenders.   Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you: 1.      Examine the underlying historical and economic reasons behind the quest for alternatives to incarcerating offenders in jails and prisons. 2.      Describe three (3) alternatives to incarceration that juvenile courts currently use. Provide examples of such alternatives in practice to support the response. 3.      Discuss the significant societal and individual benefits of imposing sanctions or punishments that do not involve removing an offender from his / her family or community. 4.      Use at least three (3) quality references. 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 learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: ·         Explain how delinquents have been handled throughout history. ·         Contrast the differences between the juvenile and adult justice system in the United States. ·         Identify successful evidence-based treatment modalities for juvenile delinquents and be able to describe the ingredients of effective programs. ·         Use technology and information resources to research issues in juvenile delinquency and justice

Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
  • Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
  • Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

  • Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
  • Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.
