You  must provide at least one references in APA format at the end of your  first post. You must utilize this reference to support an original  thought or idea you propose within your response. You  cannot receive full credit for number of postings if your contributions  were insignificant, without reasoning, or showed little effort. Answer  the following questions in your discussion.

Discussion questions (you must answer all parts of each question):

1.  Suppose you are a manager at a low-budget healthcare setting, such as a  local health department. How will you recruit new staff and motivate  current employees when competitors in the area are able to pay 30 to 40  percent more than your organization can?

2.  Suppose you are a staff nurse in a hospital that uses an incentive  compensation system. Do you have an obligation to disclose the nature of  the compensation arrangement with patients? If so, how should this  information be communicated, and by whom?

3. How will you design a team-based compensation system such that free riders on the team cannot take advantage of the system?

4.  For a four-person surgical group, what kind of formula may be devised  to fairly and consistently measure and reward productivity? What changes  may be needed if one surgeon decides to perform more office work and  less surgery?

.Create an action plan geared toward both building upon your personal and professional strength(s)

Write a seven to eight (7-8) page, three-part Professional Growth Plan in which you focus upon the following areas of personal and professional growth:

Part 1: Content Knowledge and Resources

Part 2: Competencies

Part 3: Reflective Activities

For Part 1, use the Internet or the Strayer Library to research professional organizations, grant opportunities, and / or virtual learning communities pertinent to both the theme of your portfolio, and your current or prospective work environment.

For Part 3, use your textbook, the Internet, and / or Strayer Library to research information on teaching and learning through reflective practice.

Part 1: Content Knowledge and Resources 1.Select at least two (2) of the professional organizations, grant opportunities, and / or virtual learning communities that you have researched, and analyze the manner in which you would utilize the organizations you selected to support your continued professional development.   2.Predict at least three (3) issues that you believe will be of particular significance within the next decade, or choose three (3) remaining questions that you ponder which relate to both the theme of your portfolio and your current or prospective work environment.  3.Select one (1) of the issues or questions you identified in relation to your theme and work environment, and construct an annotated bibliography of at least five (5) print and non-print resources to consult in the future.   The portfolio theme chosen for this project is ‘Learning in a Digital Age.’  I will focus on the lesson and revelation that online education will continue to have a tremendous impact on the learning process, pedagogy and how universities will begin teaching in the not-too-distant future.The portfolio theme stems from the view that universities will have to shift from the norm of seated students listening to professors in a classroom and begin embracing innovative methods of teaching in the digital age.

Part 2: Competencies 4.Specify the development of your information literacy / research skills throughout your coursework. Provide one to three (1-3) papers / artifacts / examples from previous coursework in order to demonstrate your change(s) and acquired knowledge within this area. Note: If you do not have papers / artifacts / examples, attach the description(s) of your chosen previous assignment(s). 5.Develop a plan for continued information literacy development as part of your personal and professional growth plan. Your plan must include, at a minimum:a.Three to five (3-5) information literacy goals b.Potential means (e.g., organizations and resources that you may utilize) to achieve the information literacy goals   c.Relevant strategies for applying the literacy skills in educational / work environment  6.Specify the development of your writing skills throughout your coursework.

7.Create an action plan geared toward both building upon your personal and professional strength(s), which you identified previously in Journal Entry #6, and toward improving your weaknesses related to your portfolio theme. Your plan must include, at a minimum:a.Three to five (3-5) goals b.Three to five (3-5) key steps that you plan to take for further evaluation and continuous improvement c.Potential means (e.g., organizations and resources that you may utilize) to achieve these goals  d.Relevant strategies for applying the plan in educational / work environment

Part 3: Reflective Activities 8.Ascertain whether or not you met the reflection goal that you established in Week 3 of this course which was that student feedback is essential to my reflection activities because it allows me access to their perceptions, which can present a different, yet valuable perspective simply by the use of questionnaires. The strength in this reflection is how easily it may show varying patterns in my teaching that are received at a maximum or minimal input. A weakness of the student feedback may be that students may not take the questionnaires seriously and begin notating answers just for completion. Peer observation is one of the reflective activities that I engage in because it allows me to receive hands on experience and observation from a colleague who is experienced within the teaching field. This allows me to gain a professional insight from another peer which can enhance or improve any weaknesses that may present themselves within my instructional methods. My reflection goal will be to determine if these two activities are suitable for my classroom or should I examine alternative reflective activities such as keeping a teacher diary or recording lessons.

Analyze the significant way(s) and extent to which the process of reflection caused you to become a more reflective practitioner.  9.Propose two to three (2-3) measures that you would use in order to strengthen your reflective process. Provide a rationale to support your response. 10.Propose two to three (2-3) ways that you would apply continued reflective activities within your current or prospective work environment. Provide at least one (1) example of such application to support your response. 11.Upload Assignment 2 to your Optimal Resume portfolio. Copy and paste your portfolio’s URL into the comment box of Assignment 2 to submit the assignment to Blackboard.  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.

In the Ted video that I just watched, this short clip was very powerful I can say that I learned alot in just a few minutes. Ted was saying that creativity is important in education literacy, he also said that students are scared to be wrong, they always wanted to right. He also talked about Dynamic, he also went on to say that we as parents, teachers, etc, that we are the children hope that they are or job and that we have to help them, and also prepare them for whats to come in the world today. Once again this video open up my eyes to think about, things in a different way.

The common core state standards, Initiative in the United States that details with k-12 students should know English, Language Arts, and Mathematics at the end of each grade.

Have we created a trillion-dollar, multimillion-student, sixteen-year schooling cycle to take our best and our brightest and snuff out their dreams—sometimes when they’re so nascent that they haven’t even been articulated? Is the product of our massive schooling industry an endless legion of assistants? The century of dream-snuffing has to end. The real shortage we face is dreams, and the wherewithal and the will to make them come true. We’re facing a significant emergency, one that’s not just economic but cultural as well. The time to act is right now, and the person to do it is you.

We can teach them not to care; that’s pretty easy. But given the massive technological and economic changes we’re living through, do we have the opportunity to teach productive and effective caring? Can we teach kids to care enough about their dreams that they’ll care enough to develop the judgment, skill, and attitude to make them come true? (http://www.squidoo.com/stop-stealing-dreams)

What connections do you see to the ideas that Sir Ken suggested about school killing creativity?

Sir Ken suggested that all children have different way of learning. their learning at their pace, but because the school system is killing creativity it make it hard for children learn and teacher have to find a new way of teaching children.

Are Common Core State Standards a help or a hindrance in fostering creativity?

I think the Common Core Standards is a set high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language art/literacy. However, these learning goals outline what children need know and be able to do at the end of each grade levels.

How would following Seth Gordon’s advice support or inhibit the ideas that our students need to be better prepared to compete against other in global economy?

Teacher are designed to ensure that children are prepared for entry-level careers, freshman-level college courses, and workforce training programs. Students need to able develop the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful.

How would this advice inhibit or improve the ability for students to learn twenty-first century skills? Explain your thinking.

I believe that the standards are designed to prepared students for the outside the classroom. They include critical-thinking skills and the ability to closely and attentively read tests in a way that will help them understand and enjoy complex works of literature. Students will learn how to use cogent reasoning and evidence collection skills to be successful in the 21st century.
