analyzing cultural relevance in instruction

This exercise provides excellent practice over the application of culturally relevant principles in the design of effective instructional solutions. You will need to design such instructional solutions within the Final Project, so it is very important to practice such skills here. Specifically, for this assignment, you will view a brief video taken with a cell phone by a student in a high school social studies class. Student “Jeff Bliss” Mad at Teacher at Duncanville High (Links to an external site.) (Bliss, 2013) documents a meltdown Bliss experienced during his World History course at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas.

Review the Instructor Guidance before this task. In your paper, include the following:

  • Address the items below based on your inferences and ideas after viewing the events captured in the cellphone video. (2 points)
    • Describe the problem from Jeff Bliss’s perspective as well as from Ms. Phung’s perspective.
    • Explain what probably caused it.
    • Identify who benefits and who loses.
    • Indicate your position on this issue.
    • Discuss how a more equitable, culturally relevant approach to the class could improve the situation.
    • Express how Ms. Phung might respond differently to Jeff’s concerns.
    • Describe any equity strategies you noticed or inferred being implemented in the video. (2.5 points)
    • Suggest at least one strategy for each of the following four categories that the teacher could have utilized to help meet student needs in a more equitable fashion:
      • Instruction
      • Classroom Environment
      • Student Grouping
      • Student Recognition/leadership
    • Describe evidence of any culturally relevant pedagogy in action in the cellphone video. (2.5. points)
    • List at least three strategies that could be used to create a more culturally relevant classroom. Such strategies might be drawn from the following areas:
      • Maximizing academic success through relevant instructional experiences
      • Addressing cultural competence through reinforcing students’ cultural integrity
      • Involving students in the construction of knowledge
      • Building on students’ interests and linguistic resources
      • Tapping home and community resources
      • Understanding students’ cultural knowledge
      • Using interactive and constructivist teaching strategies
      • Examining the curriculum from multiple perspectives
      • Promoting critical consciousness through opportunities to challenge predominant elements of the students’ social norms

education for k 6 grade

My School and Its Culture

Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to

As illustrated in the introduction discussion this week, each of you has experienced a unique journey through a variety of educational experiences throughout your lives. Naturally, some of these experiences will have contributed to your personal development and identity with greater impact than others. Furthermore, many in-school variables have affected your educational journey.

For this assignment, describe a school-related experience that you believe influenced your identity either positively or negatively or both. You will analyze this experience and reflect on all the factors that might have shaped it, and the different ways these experiences shaped you. This analysis will include an examination of factors related to school (such as social class, socioeconomic status, diversity, family issues, etc.) that you believe influenced your schooling. This type of analysis provides a powerful introduction to learning more about the relationship between culture, education and how such factors can impact school.

In your paper, include the following:

  • Describe your selected school experience that influenced your personal identity development. (1 points)
  • Describe the school where your experience took place including (a) school characteristics, (b) student population characteristics, (c) socio-economic background of the families affiliated with the school, (d) the family structures represented, and (e) values, behaviors, and symbols that would be considered normal in that community (microculture). (2 points)
  • Explain the influence that your family’s “funds of knowledge” and social capital had on your ability to succeed in your school; address your success in the following three areas: academic success, social success, and emotional success. (1 points)
  • Explain, using specific examples, how educators could use information about culture and individual student identities to make effective instructional decisions. (1 points)

If you are enrolled in the MAED Program, it is imperative that you keep copies of all assignments completed in this course. You will return to them for the portfolio that you will create in your final MAED course. This portfolio is a culminating project that will demonstrate that you have met program outcomes.

simple question 13

Before posting, listen to the Mere Rhetoric podcast: “The Rhetorical Situation”

Since the components of the rhetorical situation are intertwined and interact with each other, as one aspect shifts so too must the others. In other words, as writers we must consider how shifts in purpose or context might impact reader-users and adjust our writing appropriately.

For this week’s discussion, I want us to watch a video clip of a Robert Kennedy speech and discuss how he addresses the change in rhetorical situation. Let me begin to set the rhetorical situation with some background information.

In 1968, Robert Kennedy, then a New York senator, was on the campaign trail as part of his presidential bid. He was scheduled to deliver a campaign speech on April 4, 1968 to a group of supporters in Indiana. As some of you may recognize the date, he found out not long before his scheduled appearance that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated. Since this was in a time before mobile devices, Twitter, Facebook, etc. no one in the crowd was aware of the events that had occurred. Additionally, it was at the height of the civil rights movement. The purpose, or issue, of Kennedy’s speech suddenly shifts from one of rally and support to one of breaking the horrible news.

As you make your initial contribution to the weekly discussion, consider the following questions: In what ways does Kennedy address the shift in rhetorical situation? What might he have done differently? Does he effectively communicate his purpose to this audience? In what ways does he manage information that allows people to take action? Overall, do you think his speech is appropriate for the rhetorical situation? Explain.

When posting your response, make connections with both Mere Rhetoric podcasts and the definitions of rhetoric .

practicum journal

3 references, apa

Being a reflective practitioner enables NPs to identify weaknesses and target professional development in order to address these weaknesses. In turn, this increases the NPs’ ability to provide the best care to patients and their families. Reflection also affords the NP time to consider communication and their efforts toward creating a culture of mutual support with colleagues, a characteristic that is essential to successful NP practice (Somerville & Keeling, 2004).

Each week you will complete a Journal Entry and Time Log that prompts you to reflect on your Practicum Experiences and how they relate to your Professional Goals and Self-Assessment of Clinical Skills. This week you will begin documenting your Practicum Experiences in your Practicum Journal.

Somerville, D., Keeling, J. (2004). A practical approach to promote reflective practice within nursing. Nursing Times, 100(12), 42–45. Retrieved from http://www.nursingtimes.net/Journals/2012/11/30/v/l/x/040323A-practical-approach-to-promote-reflective-practice-within-nursing.pdf

To prepare

For this course’s Practicum Experience, address the following in your Practicum Journal:

  • From your perspective, explain the role of nurse practitioners in clinical settings
  • Develop goals and objectives for the Practicum Experience in this course

assignment ethics in accounting 7

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

  • Read the following scenario.
  • Answer the questions that follow. (1-2 paragraphs per question)
  • Reference back to your text book for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

Scenario:

Imagine you are the assistant controller in charge of general ledger accounting at Linbarger Company. Your company has a large loan from an insurance company. The loan agreement requires that the company’s cash account balance be maintained at $200,000 or more, as reported monthly. At June 30, the cash balance is $80,000. You give this update to Lisa Infante, the financial vice president. Lisa is nervous and instructs you to keep the cash receipts book open for one additional day for purposes of the June 30 report to the insurance company. Lisa says, “If we don’t get that cash balance over $200,000, we’ll default on our loan agreement. They could close us down, put us all out of our jobs!” Lisa continues, “I talked to Oconto Distributors (one of Linbarger’s largest customers) this morning. They said they sent us a check for $150,000 yesterday. We should receive it tomorrow. If we include just that one check in our cash balance, we’ll be in the clear. It’s in the mail!”

Questions:

  1. What is the accounting problem that the Linbarger Company faces?
  2. What are the ethical considerations in this case? Provide rationale for why these are ethical considerations.
  3. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow Lisa Infante’s instructions to wait one more day to post the balance?
  4. Who will be negatively impacted if you do comply? Provide a rationale for why these individuals will be impacted.
  5. What is one alternative that you could pursue in this scenario? Support your recommendations with information you learned in this class.

entd261 discussion response

Hello,

I need two responses of at least 150 words each for the below students discussions for this week. Also in the bold below are the questions the students at answering.

Instructions:

Give an example of if-then, and loop using variables. Explain the danger of endless loop, and how to avoid them. Can an endless loop create a DoS (Denial of Service)?



Student one:

(Lots of storm activity this week, here in Wisconsin, and soon, it’ll be snow)

In programming, an interpreter relies on an operator for direction, like a $ or %.

So, this example would be an operation with one condition,

if ($myval < 50 {

print “Value is less than 50”;

}

else {

print “Value is not equal to 50’;

}

(Computerhope.com, 2017)

In programming, a loop is “a sequence of instruction that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached” (Rouse, 2005). In the example above, the condition is reached once the value is 49 or less. An endless loop, simply, is when a condition(s) is/are not met, and the operation finds no logical end. To prevent this from happening, a programmer must always have a defined solution(s) to if-then and if-then-else statements. According to Cisco Security, yes, an infinite loop can cause a Denial of Service attack, as proved in 2009 when an “attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Server Message Block version 2 (SMBv2) component to trigger an infinite loop, causing the system to stop responding until it was rebooted” (Cisco, 2009). Fortunately, either personnel at Microsoft or non-company affiliated free-lancers posted patches to this vulnerability, and others as they are discovered for the clients that utilize their products. I find services like this to be wonderful for the consumers that use these products because it affirms the beliefs that those companies hold the interests of solid service and support for their clients, if not only to keep up their profits as well because products in the I.T. field can become obsolete days after purchase.

Student two:

‘If .. then example
price = cint(WScript.arguments(0)) ‘price variable is entered by the user
if price > 50 then
WSH.echo “The price is too high”
else
WSH.echo “This is a great deal”
end if

‘Loop example
max = cint(WScript.arguments(0))
for i = 0 to max
if i mod 2 = 0 then
WSH.echo(i & ” is an even number”)
end if
next

The danger of endless loop is that it causes the computer to lock up. It also can cause programs like the browser to crash and lose all unsaved work. When a code keeps running in a loop without an exit condition or reaching max value, an endless or an infinite loop occurs. Endless loops can be avoided by limiting the number of loops by defining a max so a loop stops when reaching it. It also can be avoided by making sure the condition must be met by incriminating a number that controls the loop or by introducing a stop condition when a loop iteration exceeds certain time period.

Denial of service is a malicious attack that interrupts access to computer networks by making systems, machines, or network resources unavailable. Infinite loops are a major way hackers use to render systems unavailability and interruptions. “Successful exploitation could result in an infinite loop and CPU exhaustion on the host, leading to a system wide Denial of Service condition.” (“Microsoft Windows SMBv2 Infinite Loop Denial of Service attack”, 2009)
