RUBRIC
 
Promoting Family Engagement at Scribbles Early Learning Program
The Scribbles Early Learning Program is committed to supporting the  development and learning of each child within the program community.  Within each of the classrooms and the larger program, families are  embraced as partners. As the director for the program, your goal is to  work to enhance and strengthen the current model through integration of  evidence-based practices. You have gathered information about the  program, as reflected in the “Scribbles Early Learning Center Program  Description” document. In your conversation with program staff, you have  identified that although there are many opportunities and structures in  place to support family engagement, the majority of families within  Scribbles Early Learning Program are not presently engaged as partners  in the early childhood classroom/program community. You have decided to  develop two workshops, one for staff and one for families, with the goal  of sharing information that will increase and enhance family  engagement.
  
Part 1: Family Engagement Workshop for Staff
 
For this portion of your Assessment, you will complete a workshop  outline for staff that promotes knowledge of culturally responsive  practices that support family engagement. The objectives of your  workshop include explaining:

Benefits of family engagement for families
Culturally responsive communication and collaboration skills that support family engagement
Culturally responsive practices/strategies that can be implemented  in early childhood settings to promote meaningful family partnerships  and support family engagement

   
Part 2: Family Engagement Workshop
 
For this portion of your Assessment, you will complete a workshop  outline for families that is designed to support their engagement within  the early childhood environment. The objectives of your workshop  include explaining:

How children benefit from family engagement in early childhood settings
Culturally responsive ways families can become meaningfully engaged in the Scribbles Early Learning Program

Term 6 week 7 discussions

  
Week 7 Discussion Forum (MKT6250 Healthcare Marketing)
1.    Discuss the value of monitoring market share compared to using the absolute measure of performance.
2.    Discuss the scope of an organization’s marketing audit and elements of that audit.
Week 7 Discussion Forum (ECO550 Managerial Economics)
Keds-the traditional maker of white canvas tennis shoes-was near oblivion in the early 1980s because competitors like Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and Brooks took away many of its customers. If you were at the helm of Keds, what would you have done to turn the company around? 
Unit 7 DB: Existing Conditions and Different Industry Environments (BUS411 Business Policy Seminar)
Linda A. Hill, Harvard Business School professor, discusses several paradoxes that exist having to do with innovation including fostering the need to experiment and discover while still meeting product deadlines.
After watching Hill’s three videos provide responses and explanations to the following questions:

If diversity creates conflict, in what ways can it lead to      innovation?
Is it effective for a leader to set a vision for      innovation?   Should innovation be planned?
What element or elements are necessary for innovation to occur in      the workplace?
Building a culture that stimulates ‘collective genius.’ Innovation      is less about breakthrough moments and more to do with channeling      organization-wide intelligence and diversity. Do you agree with Linda, and      why?

Unit 7 Discussion (ACC450 Advanced Accounting)
What Happens if a Partner Becomes Insolvent? Page 712.
In 2010, three dentists—Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker—formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio. The partnership’s primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs, supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Because the partners maintained their own separate clients, annual net income has been allocated as follows: Each partner receives the specific amount of revenues that he or she generated during the period less one-third of all expenses. From the beginning, the partners did not anticipate expansion of the practice; consequently, they could withdraw cash each year up to 90 percent of their share of income for the period.
The partnership had been profitable for a number of years. Over the years, Rogers has used much of his income to speculate in real estate in the Toledo area. By 2020 he was spending less time with the dental practice so that he could concentrate on his investments. Unfortunately, a number of these real estate deals proved to be bad decisions, and he incurred significant losses. On November 8, 2020, while Rogers was out of town, his personal creditors filed a $97,000 claim against the partnership’s assets. Unbeknownst to Wilkinson and Walker, Rogers had become personally insolvent.
Wilkinson and Walker hurriedly met to discuss the problem because Rogers could not be located. Rogers’s capital account was currently at $105,000, but the partnership had only $27,000 in cash and liquid assets. The partners knew that Rogers’s dental equipment had been used for many years and could be sold for relatively little. In contrast, the building had appreciated in value, and Rogers’s creditors’ claims could be satisfied by selling the property. However, this action would have a tremendously adverse impact on the dental practice of the remaining two partners.
What alternatives are available to Wilkinson and Walker to deal with this situation, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

This Discussion also has two parts. Please respond to both. 
Part 1: Evaluating Web Resources
As regular users of the World Wide Web, both for personal and instructional purposes, we all share a concern over the accuracy of information available on the Internet.  Indeed, one of the Internet’s most powerful and novel features (its ability to provide a world-wide forum for the ideas, opinions and beliefs of anyone with access to a server) can also be one of its biggest liabilities.
Many members of the scientific community have made statements to the effect that scientific information on the Web is often inaccurate, flawed or unreliable.  However, as scientists we are trained to be skeptical of generalizations until we have data to support them.
Many people would argue that a teacher’s most important role is to build/develop a student’s skills in CRITICAL THINKING and CRITICAL READING.  This creates a student who can teach themselves, enabling lifelong learning.
One of the Internet’s potential liabilities (its ability to provide false or inaccurate information at the click of a button) also creates an opportunity to build and reinforce skills in CRITICAL THINKING and CRITICAL READING.
For this week, I want you to do a little web research. Choose a topic, perhaps something like “Smoking and Cancer”. Limit your topics to the sciences. Use your favorite search engine and look at the first several items that come up. For “smoking and cancer” on Google the first item that comes up is a bunch of ads (unfortunately), then this –
Smoking and cancer | Cancer Research UK
www.cancerresearchuk.org/…cancer/…cancer/smoki…
Cancer Research UK
Smoking is the most preventable cause of cancer in the world. Smoking account for more than 1 in 4 UK cancer deaths. Quit smoking and reduce your risk.
?How smoking causes cancer – ?Smoking facts and evidence – ?Passive smoking
On Bing, I get this, after the ads –

smoking causes cancer – National Cancer Institutewww.cancer.gov › … › Causes and Prevention › Risk Factors › TobaccoA fact sheet that lists some of the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke and describes the health problems caused by cigarette smoking and the benefits of …

I want you to look at the article that comes up for your search and evaluate it for suitability of the reference. Use the following questions to guide your conference post.

Look at the scope of the article (does it cover the subject appropriately)
Who it the targeted to (is it a scholarly article, or is it written for a lay person)
The timeliness of the article (is the information current)
The authority of the article (who is writing it). 
What about the documentation of the article (does it site other good references). 
Finally, is the article objective.

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/instruct/guides/evaluation.html  This is the reference that inspired these questions and will provide an expanded explanation of the questions. This discussion was inspired by an article on evaluating the accuracy of scientific information on the internet by Dr. Jory Weintraub, as a matter of fact I pulled some of this discussion from Dr. Weintraub’s article.
Part 2: Discussion- Sexual Reproduction
During week 4, cellular division is described for organisms undergoing sexual and asexual reproduction. In addition, the concept of genetic inheritance through Mendel’s work and Morgan’s research on fruit fly are introduced. Answer the following questions on Mitosis, Meiosis, and genetic inheritance.

During the cell cycle, cell progression in that process is tightly regulated. Provide an example of a disorder resulting from errors in Meiosis. Is this disorder inherited? Explain.
There is a database summarizing all genetically inherited disorders. I encourage you to take a look at the database (https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition ). It is a great resource. As you browse the database, you may find that most disorders are recessive. Why do you think there are not many dominantly-inherited disorders? (Think about the individual with a dominantly inherited disorder).

Avenue of Advocacy that I Have Taken Into My Personal Life Discussion

reply to discussion post belowWhat a phenomenal story Pete, thank you for sharing that story with us!  And can I say how thankful so many families must be, that have had loved ones saved dues to your extensive efforts to get this program started!  One avenue of advocacy that I have taken into my personal life is helping educate and assist people with nutrition.  Although this is not directly related to CI/KR, I feel that the country as a whole does not do enough with the education of our youth.  One way this could be alleviated is through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agricultural companies throughout the Nation.  Although this is a tough topic to speak of, largely due to the fact that so much of the Nation’s agricultural cash crops (Corn, Soy, Wheat, etc.) are controlled by monopolies.  With vast sums of money tied into these resources, why would information be given to the masses that would tell them to stop eating products containing corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, sugar, maltodextrin just to name a few. One young man that I work with has been having issues with his weight and it has started to negatively effect his health, work performance and productivity.  I took it upon myself to start educating him and helping with his overall health.  The first thing that I did was sit down with him and asked him to name 5 things that he routinely eats that he knows he shouldn’t.  The list contained items such as soda, chips and other convenient snacks, sweet breads, desserts… you get the idea.  Now, this is a 26 year old male, active duty Navy and an adult capable of making his own decisions.  If he KNOWS that he shouldn’t be eating items such as this, why is he?  There is information out there that tells us things like this are bad for our overall health, but what about those individuals that don’t get to make their own nutritional choices?  This is a topic very near and dear to me and I am extremely curious to see what some of you think.  I feel the more information needs to provided to the youth of our country, and from a government standpoint, WE need to initiate a movement to better the health and well-being of our children.

POWER OF THE SITUATION
The motive to fit in often compels people to do what is considered appropriate behavior in a given situation. Sometimes the compulsion to fit in leads people to say or do something at odds with their sense of self. No one wants to be perceived as weird. Therefore, when the situation calls for a certain kind of behavior, people are likely to comply, even when that behavior is not consistent with their self-concept.
For this Discussion, you will examine conflict between a person’s behavior and sense of Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.

Creative writing | American history homework help

 Creative writing in response to literature is a way for students to respond to literature in a personal way. Creative writing provides a way for students to practice critical thinking and develop a stronger understanding of literary criticism while showing creativity and a bit of their own personalities. For this creative writing assignment, you will do a character analysis to allow you to get inside the mind of one of the characters.”Rip Van Winkle” and “Young Goodman Brown” are told as third-person narratives, not as first-person narratives. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as “Rip Van Winkle did this” or “Young Goodman Brown said that,” but it’s not as if the characters themselves are telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes they speak in the story, but they do not get to tell the story or what they thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what the characters might be thinking or feeling. For this assignment, choose one of the following options:(A) Imagine you are Rip Van Winkle’s daughter, Judith, writing a journal entry after her father reappears after 20 years. Try to get into the mind of Judith. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Judith and have just seen your father after he has been missing for 20 years. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Judith reflecting on the events of the day. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty.? OR(B) Imagine you are Young Goodman Brown writing a journal entry the day after the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Goodman Brown. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Goodman Brown and have just experienced the events described in the story. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Goodman Brown interpreting and reflecting on the events of the day. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts Goodman Brown might have using absolute frankness and honesty.? Criteria:

Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph form, using Times New Roman 12-point font (or similar) with double spacing. A title page is not required.
