 In the United States, there is a widely held expectation that if one works extremely hard, financial success would eventually be theirs. Hard labor is the only path to financial success. The film “The Color Purple” offers a window into the soul of the American ideal, representing such virtues as knowledge and fortitude. Celie, is one of the main characters in “The Color Purple.” She is an oppressed woman who is held captive by a man she was forced to marry and who is not fond of her or her appearance. Celie is also a woman who never wears pants because in her society pants were considered manly. Once Celie becomes free from her husband, she finally becomes the person she never thought she would be, unrepressed.
Thesis Statement (fill in the blanks on the right). This will be the last sentence of your introduction Three maxims from Franklin’s “The Way to Wealth” that the characters embody in The Color Purple are” There are no gains”, “He that lives upon hope will die fasting”, and “If you will not hear reason, she’ll surely rap your knuckles”.
What is the overall quality of teacher support structures implemented in a TAP school setting as perceived by teachers?

Introduction

Teacher shortages are not a novel concept; rather, it is a concern that appears to be increasing in urgency. The reasons for a teacher leaving, whether it is transferring to a new school or district, or leaving the profession altogether, are multi-faceted and varied depending on the individual teacher. However, regardless of the specific reason there are similarities that contribute to a teacher’s decision to leave. Toropova et al. (2019) found teacher job satisfaction was a key component in a school’s overall turnover rate. Furthermore, the authors discovered the leading factors in determining overall satisfaction of a job were the amount and quality of professional development teachers received and the overall level of a teacher’s self-efficacy (Toropova et al., 2019). Finding the reason for teacher shortages is necessary, and once addressed can slow down or reverse turnover rates in schools. Districts can be proactive in meeting the needs of teachers before shortages occur by ensuring systems are in place to increase teacher retention. When school leaders address the emotional needs of teachers, taking care to acknowledge the psychological aspects of education, teacher burnout can be avoided (Ford et al., (2019). To remain in education, teachers need to feel supported by their administrators and district leaders. The structures put in place to provide this support, as well as the overall quality of support given, is crucial in creating an overall level of job satisfaction among teachers.

Theoretical Framework

Herzberg’s motivation theory divides overall levels of employee satisfaction into two groups, hygiene and motivators, and through the implementation of both categories, employee needs are met both internally and externally (Akdemir, 2020). According to Herzberg’s theory, hygiene factors such as salary, policies, and working conditions cause job dissatisfaction; however, they do not increase motivation nor are determining factors in an employee’s desire to perform to the best of their ability (Akdemir, 2020). While these factors are certainly important to the overall atmosphere of a work environment, and can play a key role in employee satisfaction, meeting only these needs will not increase the desire of an employee to grow as an individual. Conversely, motivator factors do just that. Two of Herzberg’s motivator factors that increase employee motivation and the drive to improve are the level of feedback an employee receives, and the opportunities for development offered (Akdemir, 2020). Feedback and development, when implemented in a meaningful way, create a desire in professionals to perform and seek growth to continually improve.

Statement of the Problem

Teacher shortages are an increasing problem, and addressing the factors causing the shortage is paramount to slowing down the loss. Strong support from leadership is one factor that can be implemented to increase teacher satisfaction. However, teacher support is varied, appearing in many different formats, and not all methods are quality. In providing support to teachers, administrators must be cognizant of the individual needs of each employee in order to provide them with the most effective support available (Ford et al., 2019). Generic professional development sessions that do not provide teachers with meaningful opportunities of growth will not be effective in providing support. Some districts embed professional development within the school day, as seen in the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement (TAP). A key structure of TAP is the weekly professional development meetings, referred to as cluster meetings, that provide teachers with direct support from master and lead teachers. Within a TAP school, another method of support is seen in a detailed post-conference that occurs after an observation. This post-conference, focusing on strengths (reinforcements) and weaknesses (refinements) are meant to help address opportunities for growth and improve a teacher’s instruction and methods (Sloat et al., 2018). Support structures should not be put into place simply for the sake of compliance. Rather, any support provided to teachers must be high quality and meaningful to each individual educator in order to effectively develop the professional growth of the teacher and in turn impact student achievement.

Research Questions

This project addressed the following research questions:

1. What is the overall quality of teacher support structures implemented in a TAP school setting as perceived by teachers?

2. Which type of support structure (post-conference meetings, walk-through observations, cluster, or reflection meetings) is the most effective as perceived by teachers and why?

3. As perceived by teachers, which type of support structure has had the greatest impact on their classroom and student achievement?

Describe the clinical findings that correlate with M.K.’s chronic bronchitis.

A comprehensive case study report describes clinical case in order to provide new insights on a process, phenomenon, or observation within the biomedical setting. As such, case study reports are not merely descriptions of a patient’s clinical features, diagnoses, needed treatments and prognosis. Instead, a case report should have a well-defined thesis statement, in which the case itself serves as strong evidence supporting for the thesis statement.

Review the following case study describing a patient with a number of frequently observed comorbidities. For this assignment, you will evaluate the various clinical characteristics of this patient. In addition, you will review the literature – as you have done for previous assignments – and explain how these clinical characteristics relate to the pathophysiology of the observed comorbidities. In order to do this, you have been provided with a series of prompts to discuss in your evaluation. Make sure that you are integrating these into a single narrative, and are not separating your responses by question number. As part of this, you should include an introduction with a well-defined thesis statement, transition sentences that connect the different ideas, and a conclusion. Submit your answers using APA format, well-written sentences, and detailed explanations. Your analysis must be scientifically sound, necessary, and sufficient. Paper must be a minimum of 6 pages, plus references and title page.

You must also include a bibliography of at least 3 sources (with at least one non-Internet source). Your textbook may not be included as a source for this assignment. Refer to the rubric for more information on how your assignment will be graded.

Should abortion be made illegal?

Outcomes:

Within your Read 82 class instruction you have been learning the critical reading skills of distinguishing facts from opinions, making logical inferences and drawing conclusions, and determining the author’s purpose, tone, point of view, and intended audience. In DLA # 3, you will be building upon these skills in order to identify an author’s argument.

 

Part I: Sample Lesson

Instructions:

Read through the sample lesson below. You will be instructed in the process of how to identify an author’s argument. When you are ready, apply what you have learned about the two-step method to your reading of the longer article, entitled, “TV Can Be a Good Parent” by Ariel Gore.

 

Sample Lesson:

The Process of Identifying an Author’s Argument

The following two-step procedure will assist you in identifying an author’s argument:

1. Identify the issue and the argument

2. Identify the support for the argument

 

Take a moment to read the following paragraph. Then, using this excerpt as a guide, follow the lesson as it defines terms and systematically instructs you in the two-step method.

 

There should be a federal law banning smoking in restaurants and all public places. To begin with, the health risks associated with smoking and breathing secondhand smoke have been documented in the research literature for years. Also, the Journal of Medicine confirms that people with respiratory problems, young children, and older people face additional risks from being around smoke. In addition, a 2004 survey by Public Research, Inc. reveals that more than 80 percent of nonsmokers report that the smell of cigarette smoke in a restaurant interferes with the enjoyment of their meal. Many commented that they resent having their meal needlessly ruined by someone else’s thoughtlessness. Finally, according to etiquette authority Judith Martin (“Miss Manners”), it is simply common courtesy for smokers to refrain from imposing their smoke on those who do not smoke.

 

 

 

 

 

Step One: Identify the Argument

When we use the word “argument” in most situations, we speak about a heated dispute between different parties. In this DLA we are defining “argument” as the author’s position on a controversial issue.

Before we can identify the argument we must first identify the issue. The issue is the controversial, or at least arguable, topic the author is discussing. Every day we read and hear about issues on which people disagree. A few examples of such issues would be:

 

“Should abortion be made illegal?”

 

“How should health care be reformed to meet the needs of the United States’ citizens?”

 

“Is capital punishment a moral and effective deterrence of capital crimes?” (Note: Capital crimes usually involve an act of murder.)

 

The issue in an argument is what the author is trying to convince us to believe or do. To determine the issue, ask, “What controversial topic is the author discussing?”
