Explain how this pre-assessment data could be used to modify and differentiate instruction for all students.

Pre-assessments provide valuable information on what students know and guide planning. Before beginning a new unit or teaching a new concept, educators can give a pre-assessment to gauge where their students are and plan how and what to teach.

Using the grade level of your field experience class, select two science standards.

Each standard should be from a different science strand for that grade level.  For each of the standards, write 100-250 words addressing the following:

  • Standard and aligned objectives
  • Design a developmentally appropriate, authentic pre-assessment that aligns with the standard. You may incorporate activities your mentor teacher demonstrated during the observed lesson or shared during the interview that could be used to assess the learning objectives and science standards selected.
  • Scoring criteria for measuring student performance on pre-assessment (rubric, check-list, table, etc.)
  • Explain how this pre-assessment data could be used to modify and differentiate instruction for all students.

Support your findings with at least three scholarly resources.

Describe the impact of the problem. In other words, is the organization suffering financial losses? Are there opportunities that are not exploited?

A big data analytics project that is introduced to an organization of your choice … please address the following items:

  1. Provide a background of the company chosen.
  2. Determine the problems or opportunities that that this project will solve. What is the value of the project?
  3. Describe the impact of the problem. In other words, is the organization suffering financial losses? Are there opportunities that are not exploited?
  4. Provide a clear description regarding the metrics your team will use to measure performance. Please include a discussion pertaining to the key performance indicators (KPIs).
  5. Recommend a big data tool that will help you solve your problem or exploit the opportunity, such as Hadoop, Cloudera, MongoDB, or Hive.
  6. Evaluate the data requirements. Here are questions to consider: What type of data is needed? Where can you find the data? How can the data be collected? How can you verify the integrity of the data?
  7. Discuss the gaps that you will need to bridge. Will you need help from vendors to do this work? Is it necessary to secure the services of other subject matter experts (SMEs)?
  8. What type of project management approach will you use this initiative? Agile? Waterfall? Hybrid? Please provide a justification for the selected approach.

Describe the role of Community Behavioral Health Organizations worldwide and in Saudi Arabia specifically; What services do these organizations provide to people with mental and behavioral disorders?

There is an evidence that mapping mental health systems (MHSs) helps in planning and developing mental health care services for users, families, and other caregivers. Describe the role of Community Behavioral Health Organizations worldwide and in Saudi Arabia specifically; What services do these organizations provide to people with mental and behavioral disorders? How do these organizations make their services accessible to people who need them?

Explain how you can use the Public Health Pyramid to identify the planning, implementing, and the evaluation process to reduce the number of cases.

According to the WHO, the recent Corona virus 2019 (2019-nCoV) outbreak was firstly reported on December 31, 2019 in China. This virus is growing rapidly, and the health organizations are working hard to reduce the number of cases.

As a public health official, using the Public Health Pyramid levels, explain how we can plan, implement, and evaluate a certain plan of your own. Think about how you can contribute the individual and the community level to help reduce the number of cases.

Ø History of the virus.

Ø Describe the recent statistics and data of the Corona virus (2019-nCoV).

Ø Explain how you can use the Public Health Pyramid to identify the planning, implementing, and the evaluation process to reduce the number of cases.

Read case study 9-1 IT Governance at Toyota. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of TMS’s move to a “hybrid” decentralized IS structure.

Read case study 9-1 IT Governance at Toyota. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of TMS’s move to a “hybrid” decentralized IS structure. Would you recommend this change to the board? Why or why not?

Why are perpetual motion machines impossible according to the laws of physics?

Every so often, someone claims to have built a perpetual motion machine that can generate energy indefinitely from nothing (see video above). For this discussion topic address the following

-Why are perpetual motion machines impossible according to the laws of physics?
-Do a bit of research and find one perpetual motion machine that has been constructed (or designed) by a past inventor or scientist. Discuss why this machine will eventually run down. Include a picture, illustration and/or video.
-NASA has made news in recent years due to its development of the controversial EmDrive, an “impossible” engine that could make interstellar travel possible. Address the implications of this drive and why it should, in theory, not work according to the principles forbidding the operation of perpetual motion machines. Give your opinion on whether or not you think the EmDrive is a real, operating engine.

Choose one neurological disorder discussed in your textbook. Mention signs and symptoms of the chosen disease / disorder. Discuss its management and important nursing implications.

 Choose one neurological disorder discussed in your textbook. Mention signs and symptoms of the chosen disease / disorder. Discuss its management and important nursing implications.

Guidelines: The answer should be based on the knowledge obtained from reading the book, no just your opinion. If there are 4 questions in the discussion, you must answer all of them. Your grade will be an average of all answers.

Grading Criteria: Student mentions one neurological disease / disorder from the textbook (25%). Student mentions signs and symptoms of the chosen disease / disorder (25%). Student discusses management of the mentioned disease / disorder (25%). Student discusses important nursing implications.

Compare and contrast two job evaluation methods discussed in this module. Which method (if any) do you recommend for Jeans Inc.? Why?

ou are a newly hired HR professional now working for Jeans Inc. Jeans does not have a formal wage structure or rate ranges and does not use compensable factors. Wages are basically set on prevailing wages in surrounding communities coupled with some attempt for internal equity among workers.

Jeans does not participate in formal pay surveys. Instead, the administrative assistant routinely looks over online job openings and conducts informal surveys among her friends in local organizations. Jeans has always followed a policy of paying employees about 10% above what the assistant determines are the prevailing rates. She thinks this reduces turnover and fosters employee loyalty. The practice is to pay men about 20% more than women for the same job. The assistant explains, “When we hire males, they have families, and they are stronger and can work harder for longer hours.”

Answer the following four questions below. Use question-and-answer (Q&A) format; in other words, include the original question along with your response. Within your answer, support your responses with information from at least 2 reputable sources (library and/or Web-based), and provide the full citation at the end.

  1. Compare and contrast two job evaluation methods discussed in this module. Which method (if any) do you recommend for Jeans Inc.? Why?
  2. Should Jeans Inc. set up a formal salary structure based on a complete job evaluation? Why or why not?
  3. Is the policy of paying 10% more than the prevailing rates a sound one? If so, how could it be determined? If not, what do you recommend?
  4. What would you do now with respect to a pay plan process at Jeans Inc.? Why?

In further analyzing PCI DSS, and without necessarily homing in on Kentucky stakeholders, what other American laws or regulations might relate to, implicate, or otherwise find a nexus with PCI DSS?

In further analyzing PCI DSS, and without necessarily homing in on Kentucky stakeholders, what other American laws or regulations might relate to, implicate, or otherwise find a nexus with PCI DSS? Here, the audience needs to understand, as you will, that PCI DSS does not operate in a vacuum. Rather, like most of what we’ll learn in class, there are numerous laws, regulations, and other governing principles that interact with PCI DSS to form an overall governance model.
