make the case that the city must consider moving to a modern ERP to automate common business processes of modern city governments.
Short essay:

 

 

  1. You have accepted the position of City Administrator of a small to mid-size city. You now discover that the city is running on a variety of old “stovepipe” applications. It keeps its books using Microsoft Excel. As a result the business processes of the city are cumbersome. When you ask about them, city employees often explain, “we have always done it that way.” The IT director has been there for 30 years and does not see a problem. You talk with the mayor and she is open to your concerns and realizes that this is the 21st Century. But she does not want to take the political “heat” to advocated for costly IT upgrades. You want to make the case that the city must consider moving to a modern ERP to automate common business processes of modern city governments. You face trying to sell your “progressive” idea to the elected members of the city council. The council members see this as, “an administrative thing.” You are not getting any support among city employees. You need support from the mayor and elected council members. You are on the agenda for the meeting next week. You are willing to sacrifice your new job for this, if necessary.

Assignment overview

In order to demonstrate your learning from this unit, you are required to collect appropriate resources related to each of the Arts’ key learning areas/subjects (Drama, Dance, Music, Media and Visual Arts). The purpose of this assignment task is to develop a folio of suitable resources that you can utilise in your teaching in the future. Additionally, you are required to engage and reflect upon your role, as both artist and audience, within the context of the Arts and this unit.

This assignment supports unit learning outcomes 4 and 5.

Assignment details

Part A: Folio – Arts resources (approximately 1800 words)

Throughout this unit, you have been exposed to a variety of ideas within the creative arts. In this assignment task, you are asked to select one resource for each of the Arts’ learning areas/subjects (Drama, Dance, Music, Media, Visual Arts) for a total of five resources.

A resource might be a painting, a piece of music, a book or a plastic bottle. For each of your resources, you will need to describe the following points:

  • The resource, artefact and/or stimuli that you have chosen.
  • The appropriate Australian Curriculum level, or your own state or territory curriculum year level, and/or age level for each specific resource.
  • The rationale (big picture) of why you have chosen this resource.
  • How the resource enables students to learn as ‘artist and/or as audience’, and ‘make and respond’. With this in mind, consider the teaching strategies that can support creativity, imagination, self-expression and aesthetic awareness in children.
  • The Arts elements, languages or conventions that will be developed.
  • The learning outcomes (within or across domains) that you as a teacher will assess.
  • How the resource may be used to connect or inform other aspects of curriculum and/or cross-curriculum priorities (e.g. Literacy, History, Science, Physical Education, Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, Sustainability, Social Capabilities, and Critical and Creative Thinking).
  • Provide insight into how a teacher would take children’s interests and skills into account and demonstrate inclusive practices.

You must use academic referencing as required (APA 6th Edition).

Part B: Reflection (approximately 600 words)

You are to write a reflective piece of writing that draws upon your personal experiences and beliefs towards Arts education.

Writing in the first person, discuss with reference to some of the activities that you have undertaken during the course of the unit, as well as your own experiences in education as a student and a pre-service teacher.

In your reflection, you may wish to consider some of the following points:

  • All teachers have a role in supporting the rights of children to a quality Arts education.
  • Making and responding in the Arts.
  • The importance of reflection, constructive feedback, and reflective learning in the creative process.
  • The value of making ‘mistakes’.
  • The role of the teacher as an advocate for the Arts in an increasingly prescriptive education system.
  • How knowledge and sensitivity to other cultures can be used productively in order to make a successful creative environment.
  • Creating learning environments supportive of creativity.
  • What would an education look like without the Arts?
  • How do past experiences in the Arts impact on your prospective teaching of the Arts?
  • Which readings, learning materials and activities challenged your ideas?
  • What strategies might you need to adopt in order to overcome any trepidation that you have in teaching these learning areas in the classroom?

Note: you do not have to cover all these points, only those that support your personal experience and reflection.

Throughout your teaching journey, you will be required to use your relevant national and/or state or territory curriculum. To help you build capability in this area, and to help further prepare you for placements, we allow you to choose whether you would like to use the relevant national and/or state or territory curriculum in your assignments. For more information specific to your assignments for this unit, please seek advice from your eLAs and/or your Unit Coordinator.

What do you do to protect the employee yet preserve the relationship with the client?

Your co-worker has been consistently late for the past month unbeknownst to the supervisor.

~ You take a new hire on a sales call and meet with an executive at company X, your most important client.

This final paper is your opportunity to delve into a topic within the framework of ethics that you find interesting based on your approved topic and thesis statement.

Recognition, Analysis, and
Resolution

One of the most beneficial exercises in a course exploring ethics is to develop a paper that allows you the opportunity to create connections between your professional view of ethics and applied ethical theories. The nature of ethical decision making is recognition, analysis, and resolution.

Your paper must explore a current ethical issue in your workplace. It can be a current or former employer, or someplace where you have volunteered. Ideally, the issue that you explore is something related to your current or future career.

Focus your paper on the connection between your topic and ethics theory. You must use your approved topic. You must use at least two ethical theories in your analysis.

You must support your views. While your opinions are important, they are not enough for a discussion for this type of paper. The academic connections are crucial.
Use your full-sentence outline to build the paper. This creates the blueprint for the final paper.
