Who are the key stakeholders in a RTI or MTSS meeting? What is the role of each individual?

Observe an early childhood classroom that includes children with exceptionalities, paying attention to Response to Intervention (RTI) or Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) preparation and procedures.  Many times RTI in early childhood is done outside of the classroom environment, so observing an inclusive or resource room is acceptable. Additionally, interview the early childhood classroom teacher about his or her RTI or MTSS preparation and procedures.

Your interview should address the following questions:

  • Who are the key stakeholders in a RTI or MTSS meeting? What is the role of each individual?
  • How do you document assessment results and other data specific to RTI or MTSS? What does your data collection process entail?
  • How is your RTI or MTSS system organized?
  • How are the assessment results and other data used to develop behavioral and academic interventions? How do you identify and select the interventions? How do you provide support to teachers?
  • What are the legal implications of the RTI or MTSS process?
  • How can data collection be used to form a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) for a student who is having behavior issues?
  • What collaborative communities have been provided at the site and also to help support the families?

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your interview and explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Explain your role in supporting teachers, and how you serve them for the betterment of the community.

Which model would you choose to create goals and outcomes that could address the area of concern you identified in your Assessment 1 SWOT analysis?
  • Develop a 5-10 year strategic plan for achieving specific health care quality and safety improvements, based on the analysis you completed in Assessment 1. Use either an AI approach or your SWOT analysis and a chosen strategic planning model.
  • Introduction
    Evaluation of strategic choices is important. The methods for selecting strategic alternatives help leaders organize significant issues to support decision making. However, it is important that the techniques do not make the decision. Rather, leaders should use the techniques to reveal the inherent situation and to organize their thought processes. This assessment provides you with an opportunity to evaluate and apply some of the techniques for successful strategy development and implementation.
    Note: You will use your care setting environmental analysis as the basis for developing your strategic plan in this assessment.
    Preparation
    The feedback you received on your care setting environmental analysis has been positive. Consequently, you have been asked to select one of the potential improvement projects you noted in your analysis and create a full, 5–10-year strategic plan to achieve the desired quality and safety improvement outcomes. You will develop your strategic plan, using either an AI approach (addressing the design stage), or by building on your SWOT analysis and applying a strategic planning model of your choice.
    How you structure your plan should be based on whether you are taking an appreciative inquiry approach or using a specific strategic planning model. Regardless of the approach you choose, the requester of the plan has asked that you address the key points outlined below in the strategic plan requirements. In addition, your plan should be 5–8 pages in length.
  • As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
    Strategic planning models aid in setting goals, establishing time frames, and forging a path toward achieving those goals. Consider the strategic planning models you are familiar with:

    • Which model would you choose to create goals and outcomes that could address the area of concern you identified in your Assessment 1 SWOT analysis?
    • Why is this model the best choice among alternatives?
    • How does goal setting through appreciative inquiry provocative propositions differ from goal setting in the strategic planning model you selected?
    • Additional Requirements
      Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so at a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
      Writing, Supporting Evidence, and APA Style
    • Strategic Plan

Should Californians be able to require higher welfare standards for farm animals that are raised in other states if products from those animals are to be sold in California? 

PLEASE USE CASES ATTACHED

Should Californians be able to require higher welfare standards for farm animals that are raised in other states if products from those animals are to be sold in California?

Pork producers are challenging a law that California voters adopted in 2018 via ballot initiative with over 63% approval. It set new conditions for raising hogs, veal calves and egg-laying chickens, whose meat or eggs are sold in California. The state represents about 15% of the U.S. pork market.
At most commercial hog farms, pregnant sows are kept in “gestation crates” that measure 2 feet by 7 feet – enough room for the animals to sit, stand and lie down, but not enough to turn around. California’s law requires that each sow must have at least 24 square feet of floor space – nearly double the amount that most now get. It does not require farmers to raise free-range pigs, just to provide more square feet when they keep hogs in buildings.
The National Pork Producers Council argues that this requirement imposes heavy compliance costs on farmers across the U.S., since large hog farms may house thousands of sows and that it restricts interstate commerce.

Farmers and animal welfare advocates understand that if California wins, states with the most progressive animal welfare policies – primarily West Coast and Northeast states – will be able to effectively set national standards for the well-being of many agricultural animals, including chickens, dairy and cattle. Conceivably, California might also be able to require basic conditions for human labor, such as minimum wage standards, associated with products sold in California.

Nine other states have already adopted laws requiring pork producers to phase out gestation crates.

 

  • How would John Marshall analyze the constitutional issue presented by the California law? Would Marshall probably uphold the law or not?
  • How would the Cooley standard by applied here?  Under that standard, would the law be constitutional or not?
  • Does this law discriminate against interstate commerce?
  • What factors would go into modern balancing analysis?  Would the law likely be upheld or not?

2. Case: Deere & Company is the market leader in the manufacture and supply of machinery used in agriculture and construction. In 2014, Deere & Company was listed 80th in the Fortune 500 America’s ranking and was 307th in the 2013 Fortune Global 500 ranking. They had a diverse product range that was made to order and retail activity was extremely seasonal with most of the sales occurring between March and July. Their supply chain strategy of replenishing dealers’ inventories weekly, using direct shipment and cross-docking operations from source warehouses located near Deere & Company’s manufacturing facilities were proving too costly and too slow. So, they wanted to launch an initiative to achieve a 10% supply chain cost reduction within four years.
