In your own words, provide a description of each of the four stages of Piaget?s cognitive development theory that includes the typical age of children within each stage and major characteristics and developmental changes of each stage. Describe an activity or strategy that would support the learning in each stage. Identify strategies that could be used in each stage to support the needs of students who present atypical/delayed cognitive/intellectual development. Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly resources.

 
Two major cognitive development theories that educators refer to are Vygotsky?s sociocultural theory, especially the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), and Piaget?s four stages of cognitive development. Understanding these theories will help teachers to identify atypical or delayed cognitive development, as well as design research-based strategies to support and encourage normal development.
For this assignment, complete the ?EDU-354 Cognitive and Intellectual Development Activities? chart with the following:
Part 1-Vygotsky?s Sociocultural Theory

Overview of Vygotsky?s sociocultural theory including definitions (in your own words) of each of the three cognitive skill levels: level of potential development, zone of proximal development (ZPD), and actual developmental level.
Select a developmental stage to focus on (infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, or adolescence) and select a milestone, early learning standard, or academic standard that falls within that stage.
Based on the milestone, early learning standard, or academic standard, describe the expected skills for a student who is working below grade level, at grade level, or above grade level and provide one instructional activity a teacher could implement within the ZPD of students at each level.

Part 2-Piaget?s Four Stages of Cognitive Development Theory

In your own words, provide a description of each of the four stages of Piaget?s cognitive development theory that includes the typical age of children within each stage and major characteristics and developmental changes of each stage.
Describe an activity or strategy that would support the learning in each stage.

Identify strategies that could be used in each stage to support the needs of students who present atypical/delayed cognitive/intellectual development.
Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly resources.

How do the Social Determinants of Health impact an individual?s learning needs?

 
After reviewing this module’s readings and media on the Social  Determinants of Health and after sharing a brief introduction of  yourself, please respond to the following THREE discussion board  questions.
Remember to include an APA formatted in-text  citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within last 5  years), professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.). (Failure to  include BOTH an in-text citation AND a corresponding reference will  result in a significant point deduction. Please contact your coach if  you have any questions about this BEFORE submitting your post to the  discussion board this week.) You do not need an in-text  citation/reference for each question, just one will be sufficient.
A major role of the professional nurse is to evaluate the learning needs of individuals, families, and populations.

How do the Social Determinants of Health impact an individual?s learning needs?
What are some ways to overcome social determinant barriers to promote the health and wellness of patients or clients?
As  a professional nurse, fully describe 2 ways that you can be an advocate  for policy change to improve the health and wellness of those effected  by social determinant barriers.

 
An APA formatted in-text citation AND corresponding reference from a recent (within the last 5 years),  professional journal or website (NIH, CDC, etc.) is required in your  original discussion posting. Blogs, magazines, and newspapers are NOT  considered scholarly, professional sources.

Think about a past performance evaluation in which you received both positive and negative feedback. Describe how the appraisal accurately reflected your performance and how it did not. How would you change the way the performance appraisal was conducted if you were the evaluator?

Entry 2: Think about a past performance evaluation in which you received both positive and negative feedback. Describe how the appraisal accurately reflected your performance and how it did not. How would you change the way the performance appraisal was conducted if you were the evaluator?
I once received a performance evaluation stating I was very detail-oriented, easy to get along with, and an effective communicator. However, the negative feedback that I received was that I am not stern enough, and allow staff too much autonomy. While I appreciated the positive feedback, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the negative feedback. I did not know how to change my approach to staff without also affecting the very same positive feedback I received. It seemed to be conflicting. If I was the evaluator I wouldn’t have just written the feedback on a paper and asked someone to sign it. Instead, I would have pulled them to the side throughout the course of the performance review, and explained why a specific action can be interpreted as “not stern enough.” Additionally, if there were any follow-up questions in regards to the feedback, I’d be available for the discussion to occur, and I’d be prepared with suggestions, and or/ examples as to when the specific action occurred and how it could have been handled.

Jenny is a White nurse practitioner at a large community hospital. She was educated at one of the best nursing programs in a large urban city and she prides herself on being fair and equal to all her patients. She turned down many jobs at private hospitals because they did not have a diverse clientele. One day Jenny is working with an Hispanic patient who speaks with a heavy accent. Becoming a little frustrated Jenny asked the patient to speak slower and clearer because she does not understand Mexican very well. The patient becomes visibly upset and becomes very short with his answers. When the session is over the patient leaves the room, angrily speaking to himself in Spanish. Jenny didn?t understand why the patient was angry, and from that point on avoided working with Hispanic patients. What do you think happened here?

A retail store manager uses time series models to understand shopping trends. Time series models are particularly useful to track variables such as revenues, costs, and profits over time. Time series models help evaluate performance and make predictions. Review the scatter plot of the store’s sales from 2010 through 2021 to answer the questions. You may also review the annual sales data and chart in Excel, if desired. Time series decomposition seeks to separate the time series (Y) into 4 components: trend (T), cycle (C), seasonal (S), and irregular (I). What is the difference between these components?
