How can informal as well as formal assessment results factor into placement?

Placements

Interview an ELL instructor from a Title I school about how assessment is used for placement. You may interview one of the instructors that you have observed during your observations for this course. Inquire also about how placement is determined for both special education and gifted ELLs. Your questions might include (but should not be limited to) the following:

  1. What are the indicators of exceptionality a classroom teacher should look for when a student also has a language barrier?
  2. How can informal as well as formal assessment results factor into placement?
  3. What role do parents and teachers have in placement?
  4. What are some primary factors that are exhibited in underachievement that may not necessarily signal special education needs?
  5. How are changes among individual ELL proficiency levels over the course of the school year accounted for?
  6. How are diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments integrated for ELLs in mainstream classrooms?
  7. What are the benefits of the SIOP protocol for native English speakers as well as those for whom English is an additional language?

Consolidate your findings in a 750-word essay, supporting your findings.

Answer

Do you have equal access to the people and places required to acquire knowledge you currently do not have?

Discussion 3L

discussion, you must read Chapter 7 of the text, Sociology: Beyond Common Sense, and watch the two videos, Social Class in America 1957 McGraw-Hill text-films [Transcript] (an old video but great example) and How Class Works – Richard Wolff Examines Class. Then, review the document, Knowledge of Hidden Rules of Social Class. Read through the descriptions of daily activities and commonplace knowledge for lower, middle, and upper class people. Print it out and place an ‘X’ next to the things you know how to do [you can also just note your ‘X’ marks], and look to see how many ‘X’ marks you have in each category [If you don’t have children, use yourself and your siblings as a reference group.]. This will help you gain insight into the taken for granted or hidden knowledge you need to survive in various social classes. After completing these tasks, consider the following questions:

  • Social Class in the US

    How would you categorize the types of knowledge? How and where would someone acquire and learn this knowledge? How do you gain access to the people and places this can be learned? Is this access generally equal in the US?

  • You as a Social Being

    On which questionnaires did you have the most and least marks? Were you surprised by the outcome? Do you have equal access to the people and places required to acquire knowledge you currently do not have?

  • Conclusions

    What conclusions can you make about the nature of the hidden knowledge necessary to be successful in each social class?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

Answer

What is social construction?

Discussion 2 3L

For this discussion, you must read Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the text, Sociology: Beyond Common Sense, the article The ‘Pink vs Blue’ Gender Myth, and watch the three videos, Social Construction,[Transcript]  RACE: Are We So Different?, and A Girl Like Me[Transcript]. [Note that A Girl Like Me uses words or language that are considered profane, vulgar or offensive by some viewers. Ashford University does not condone such content that may be objectionable; however, the video is being used due to its impact and education value in understanding social construction.] After reviewing these resources on varied perspectives of social construction, consider the following questions:

  • What is social construction?
  • Which example from the resources provided did you find most compelling in building your knowledge of social construction? Describe it and explain why you found it most useful.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

Answer

Should the government be involved in actively defending the internet, or as investigator, prosecutor?

Week 5 Discussion

As you’ve seen, the most significant cyber attacks on private organizations have come from foreign governments. We expect the government to defend us against physical attacks from foreign governments. What about cyber attacks?

This is our first discussion topic this week, and it is extremely open-ended. I just want to know what you think the government should do (if anything) to defend private organizations (corporations, non-profits and even individuals) from cyber attacks by other nations.

There are so many different ways to approach this question. If you are having trouble getting started, here’s a few questions to think about, but don’t limit yourself to these: What do you think as a private citizen? What would you think if you were CEO of a large bank? Should the government be involved in actively defending the internet, or as investigator, prosecutor? Treaties with other nations?

The answer should be 100 words

also the answer should be your own word.

What data are needed to fulfill these reporting requirements?

State Reporting Requirements for Hospitals

State Reporting Requirements for Hospitals

Hospitals must report certain types of information to their state department of health and other state agencies. The specific requirements differ from state to state, and can change over time as well. What remains constant, however, is the need for efficient and accurate methods for meeting these reporting requirements.

To prepare for this Discussion research the statutory requirements for hospital reporting in your state, or another state of interest to you. The National Academy for State Health Policy report in this week’s Learning Resources will provide a good start to your research, but you should do further exploration to fill out your understanding of the state reporting requirements by hospitals in your selected state.

With these requirements in mind, consider the following:

  • What data are needed to fulfill these reporting requirements?
  • Select a particular type of hospital, such as a small community hospital or a large urban facility within a multi-state hospital system, and identify challenges this institution might encounter in complying with these requirements.
  • Review the health information systems you have learned about so far in this course, and do further exploration, as needed, to identify systems that would help in capturing, processing, and providing the data required for those reports.

 

  • Summarize the state’s reporting requirements for hospitals.
  • Analyze challenges that these requirements might pose to your selected type of hospital.
  • Propose which hospital IT systems might be used to produce the data necessary for these reports. If multiple systems could be used, select which one you think is best and state why.
  • Briefly, describe at least one way in which these reporting requirements contribute to the public’s health, and one way in which this reporting benefits the organization providing the data.
