discussion board question organizational management amp communication in disasters

* First Discussion Board:

– Give us an idea of your personal strengths and aspirations related the content of this course. Tell us how you have previously functioned in a group activity!

Complete this introduction with your opinion, based on the meaningful reflection of your readings, how each manner of thinking applies to disaster management.

– APA Style

– Kindly answer all question clearly and completely.

* Course Overview:

The topic of Organizational Management and Communications in Disasters is so broad that we could spend years just on these two areas of study. This course will provide the opportunity to explore different management, leadership, and communication styles to allow you to decide the best practices applied to pre-disaster, disaster, and post-disaster settings. You are expected to independently critically read several leadershiptheories in the early part of the course, and then build upon the practices that make the most sense to you as we move through the term. During this term, you will complete 5 FEMA IS courses that are part of the U.S. professional credentialing process (IS 240b, IS 241b, IS 242b, IS 244b, IS 42).

What is systems theory, and how does it apply to chaos, project management, and disaster management? There will be several readings from Ackoff and others in this area. Think about this model in disaster planning exercises.

Teamwork is crucial to managing the effects of a disaster: defined leadership, clear roles, the knowledge to accomplish the task, and communication, are all elemental aspects of optimal action in disaster or emergency. Likewise, leadership, followership, and “management” are all components essential to teamwork. Organizational culture will be explored using several readings from Edgar Schein and others to answer the questions: how do you become an intelligent follower, and as a manager, how do you interact with followers?

We will explore communications from a minimum of two perspectives: the technical requirements of transmission and reception, and message formulation and decoding in crisis communications. A large part of this topic will be focused on interoperability – we can achieve the ability to talk to each other, but why don’t we actually communicate? IS242 (complete the course at the www.fema.gov site) will launch you on this investigation of resistance factors related to communication efficiency amongst disciplines.

We will examine the use of broadcast and social media for risk communications and public information and warning. There is a great project on risk communication that you will do this term.

All of these factors play a role; Public Information and Warning is a key “mission area” of the (U.S., model) National Preparedness Goal. These programs require a funding stream. Thus a short exposure to writing grants will occur.

exceptional needs children unit 3 discussion board

In Unit 3, you examined the federal laws that guide public school programs for exceptional needs children.  You learned how these laws have been interpreted by local school districts with regard to the development of school policies regarding inclusion, Response-to-Intervention, and disciplinary methods used with exceptional children. And, you have read about the court cases that have impacted the development of behavior and classroom management approaches. The information you have covered in Unit 3 can inform how you will create a safe and positive learning environment – a universal design for classroom management

Discussion:

In keeping with the goal of creating safe and positive environments in which learning can take place, it is important to incorporate proactive, active, and reactive strategies in the classroom.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a “universal design” for classroom management. Describe proactive, active and reactive strategies and how these strategies are implemented in the classroom. 

How do the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Section 504 affect classroom management?  Include the following in your discussion:

  • Response-to-Intervention (RTI) and Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
  • The “Same Treatment” rule; manifestation determination” and the school’s responsibility to review inappropriate behavior in light of student disability; and the conditions under which a school can suspend and expel a student with disabilities.

Guided Response Posts:

In your first response to a peer, illustrate the use of the “Same Treatment” rule by creating a short scenario in which an analysis would be made regarding how the student’s behavior should be addressed.

In your second response to a peer, provide a scenario demonstrating the need for manifestation determination.  Explain why manifestation determination is needed in such a case.

discussion question 1457

Your assignment this week is to do some research on current  legislation on family leave policies either local or that are being  debated at the federal level (https://www.senate.gov/legislative/bills_acts_laws.htm (Links to an external site.))  . Read up on one of the bills that is being debated, the draft a letter  in support of (or against if you chose) the legislation using the  readings from Modules 2 and 3 as SUPPORT for your argument. Remember to  argue with fact and not opinion, and be respectful. 

Things to consider as you craft your response:

1.Who benefits from this legislation?

2.How will children benefit from the proposed legislation?

3.How might a person’s race, class or gender impact inequalities in  this policy in this country (ie, in the USA FLMA is unpaid unless a  person has accrued vacation or sick time to use. This creates a  disadvantage for the working poor that often don’t get benefits and  can’t afford to take unpaid leave).

4.Are people with relatively little power (think about the intersectionality quiz) being considered?

Remember,

  • You need at least 2 citations and references, one from the course  content this week and one for the bill you are writing in favor of (or  against).

bus law 1 ashford university final paper

Week 5 – Final Paper

Final Paper

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.

The owner has asked you to do the following:

  • Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.
  • Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
  • Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.
  • Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
  • Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation.

For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.

The paper

  • Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted
  • Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
  • Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. That is, describe what your response is to the content, either positive or negative, and defend your position. If multiple options, alternatives, and/or positions are present and are being rejected, you must also defend the reasons for rejecting an option.
  • Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
  • Must include at least five scholarly sources, two of which must be from the Ashford University Library, in addition to the course text.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your activity.
