How the learning cycle is developmentally appropriate and promotes growth for young students.

The process of instructional design can be cumbersome and challenging. The learning cycle requires the educator to prepare for and instruct students, identifying how their students learn best, the purpose of learning, and appropriate ways to engage students. Having an understanding of instructional design to include standards, objectives, instruction, and assessment better supports alignment in classroom learning. Each component of the learning cycle is a key step in meeting the instructional requirements of learning. For this assignment, research the components of the learning cycle. Complete “Instructional Design Topic 1: The Learning Cycle” within the “Instructional Design Unit” template by clearly defining the different stages of the cycle. Additionally, in 250-500 words, discuss the following in the Learning Cycle Summary portion of the template:                                                        How the learning cycle is developmentally appropriate and promotes growth for young students. How the learning cycle supports students’ strengths and diverse backgrounds. A minimum of two instructional strategies for the grade level you intend to teach. Support your response with 2-3 scholarly resources. While GCU style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected. In-text citations and references should be presented using the documentation guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, which is located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to Lopes Write.

Develop a clinical practice question using PICO(T) that focuses on a clinical issue to improve the quality of care.

Team PowerPoint Presentation: Poster of Evidence-Based Practice Goal: Develop a clinical practice question using PICO(T) that focuses on a clinical issue to improve the quality of care. Requirements: 1. As a team, you will identify a clinical problem/opportunity, draft a PICOT question. 2. Review the literature (using the articles you are reading for your weekly summaries, if possible), make recommendations. 3. Create a poster and add it onto your last slide of your PowerPoint presentation to disseminate your findings.

Write an email to the company CEO briefly describing your findings in the department and your plan of action.

Identification of both internal and external factors that affect the organization’s performance and success are covered in this section. Many factors fall within these areas. For example, internal functions include financial, funding, production, employee satisfaction, and more. External factors can have an impact on the organization’s future and additional decisions to achieve goals. Examples are competitors, legal changes or regulations, economic changes, and the political arena as well as global laws that may impact international business. In the article for this week’s reading, Oberlin (2018) explains that emergency decision making can improve or complicate the outcome. Many decisions are complex and may involve high-stress circumstances. Oberlin also discusses how people can process information differently when stressed. Consider this when thinking about a plan to change or improve a department. Interestingly, the type of industry has many obstacles depending on the vision and goals. For example, the article for reading this week by Rached, M., Bahroun, Z. and Campagne, J. (2016) discusses the complexities in supply chain management and the coordination of a supplier, a warehouse, retailer, and finally the customer. Using a decentralized verses a centralized decision making process for improvement, the results are unexpected and still provide an excellent increase to the warehouse. Experimental ideas can have tremendous outcomes to organizations and also have the ability to be refined once determination of expectations have been met. Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You are expected to apply the information from these resources and others that you locate when you prepare your assignment. The company from last week has hired you to reorganize a department within their company based on your Executive Summary. (You may also choose a department of a company you are familiar with from previous experience.) Investigate the department more thoroughly and write a plan to improve the department. Recommend actions and next steps. Include a system to list and quantitatively score competing alternative solutions. One example may be a table that lists all of the recommended actions in one column, with additional ‘expected results’ and ‘grade’ columns. In the grade column you can assign a number to how you think each potential action may meet the expected result and include this summary in your plan.  Write an email to the company CEO briefly describing your findings in the department and your plan of action. Also, write a draft email that the CEO can send out to employees to gain their buy-in for the changes ahead. (Remember, you want the email brief and the receiver to read it.) Support your paper with the required reading articles for this week and two other researched sources. Oberlin, R. (2018). Improving disaster outcomes with better decision making. Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 11(3), 279–28 Rached, M., Bahroun, Z., & Campagne, J.-P. (2016).

Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future.

The Journey to Sustainability  Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here? In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. Finally, you will submit the document to Waypoint. Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved: ·       Paragraph 1: o   Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present. o   Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives. ·       Paragraph 2: o   Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future. o   Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably. ·        Paragraph 3: o   Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future. ·        Paragraph 4: o   Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now. ·        Paragraph 5 o   Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate. o   Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all. ·        Paragraph 6: o   Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future. o   Indicate the changes have been made to how humans think about and treat what is currently called “waste.” ·        Paragraph 7: o   Summarize some of the major social, economic, political, and ecological choices and tradeoffs that will need to be overcome for this sustainable future to arrive. What are some of the major issues and challenges humans will have to face in order to achieve sustainability on a global scale?

What are the risks of being assertive with Bob?

1. You have just been hired by Yummy Juicy, a national corporation that sells organic juices at most major retail stores. You have been hired as the West Coast Distribution Manager. After about five weeks on the job, you get the following email: Sir/Ma’am,   You are hurting this company. You have continued to try to force all of us to change our ways and follow procedures that are no good. I am not sure why you got the job. You trained us on the new procedures, which wasted hours of our time. Don’t bother to reply to this email, I know nothing will change. R/  Bob (disgruntled employee)   2. Complete the following:   a. Develop an email response. Use the three-step process for being assertive. Bob is one of your first-line supervisors and has been with the company for 20 years. Mary, another supervisor tells you that Bob is just trying to bully you and that most other supervisors love the new processes. b. Do you find it difficult to be assertive in your own life (personal and professional)? Why or why not?  c. What are the risks of being assertive with Bob? Make sure you utilize common course terminology when explaining the risks. 3. Mary comes to you later in the day and says, “Boss, Bob is trying to negotiate with you, he has a target in mind, and is not flexible, so his limit is not much different than his target.” Explain what Mary is talking about (explain, in your OWN words, the concepts of targets and limits during negotiations).
