Individual Project Proposal:
ÿ
Consider the following scenario:
You have been hired by a large company with branch offices around the country to assist with rollout of a new companywide compliance system.
ÿ
While initially the focus was on implementation of the technology, it was found that success will require at least 10 hours of training for all managers across the country on both the use of the new platform as well as a host of new compliance policies being introduced.
ÿ
Of the options discussed, it was generally agreed than the training should be hands-on and conducted in person at a central location. This will obviously require getting organizational buy in as not all managers are going to be willing to commit to taking time out from their normal responsibilities just for some training.
ÿ
In addition, such large scale centralized training has not been done before by this company; therefore, the CEO wants feedback from participants to evaluate the effectiveness of any training sessions.
ÿ
As a result, your manager has given you the responsibility to develop an outline for a proposed project that would meet this upcoming need.
ÿ
Submit a 2- to 3-page memo that does the following:
ÿ
? Names the project
ÿ
? Briefly describes the project
ÿ
? Identifies potential stakeholders directly or indirectly involved
ÿ
? Specifies the overall objective and any outcomes for this project
ÿ
? Details how success will be evaluated
ÿ
? Highlights what is needed to ascertain the measurable organizational value (MOV) of this project.
ÿ
You will need to make some assumptions (it is even encouraged) but the assumptions must be documented.
In this lesson, you will summarize the story you read. Using your knowledge of Spanish, you will describe details of Luis’s family and what you learned about their lives.
In six sentences, in Spanish, summarize what Luis has shared about his family. Do not use a translator. Your sentences will be short and simple. You should use the vocabulary and structures modeled. Your summary should contain the most important pieces of what Luis shared.ÿ
Lesson Plan #3: Writing and Spelling
As you have learned this week, it is essential to plan for quality instruction in the areas of writing and spelling for students with disabilities. Lesson Plan #3 will focus on using effective, research-based strategies for teaching writing or spelling to students with disabilities.
Week Three also focused on planning effective assessments to ensure that you are monitoring student progress towards the learning objectives. You have already started planning assessments in Weeks One and Two, but in Week Three and beyond, there will be a greater focus on ensuring alignment of your assessment to your learning objective.
Additionally, at least one, if not multiple, research?based strategies for teaching writing and spelling for students with disabilities should be developed for your lesson plan. Your Vaughn & Bos (2012) textbook has a plethora of strategies, but you may also seek other strategies as well in other peer-reviewed texts or articles that were required or recommended this week.
For this lesson, you may plan for your choice of grade level, type of classroom, and disability areas. You may use your own classroom or create a fictional classroom setting for the lesson. Although the Internet is a rich source of free materials and teaching suggestions, this lesson plan and all subsequent plans MUST BE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL CREATION.
Using the lesson plan template (or all the elements included in the template), the following components are required:
Introductory information: Provide the lesson title, grade level, and subject area for the lesson. Describe the classroom for which you are planning the lesson, such as classroom setting, number of students, and any other pertinent information about the classroom.
Students with mild/moderate disabilities in the classroom: Describe at least one learner with a mild/moderate disability who will participate in the lesson. Include the type of disability, the student?s individualized needs, and any pertinent information about the student(s).
Common core state standards and lesson objective: Explain how the specific learning objective for the lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standard that the lesson plan will address.
Assessment: Describe how you will assess student learning of the lesson objective based on the age/grade/ and needs documented.
Accommodations or modifications to be provided: Describe the accommodations you will use throughout the lesson to address the individualized needs of each student with a disability.
Teaching procedures: Describe the teaching procedures, including teacher input and modeling, guided practice, independent practice, and closure. This section MUST include strategies from the text and peer-reviewed articles related to effective strategies for teaching students with disabilities. You must cite your sources to demonstrate your knowledge of effective strategies.
Checks for understanding: Discuss a minimum of three ways that you will check for understanding throughout the lesson to ensure students are grasping pertinent and central concepts in your lesson.
Reflection: Reflect on how the assessment will help inform you of your students? achievement of the learning objective, as well as how it will inform your future instructional actions. Also, include what plan you will take if the students do not meet the assessment objectives.
This assignment should be approximately three to five pages in length (not including the title and reference pages). At least one to two peer-reviewed sources, which may include the textbook for this course, should be used and cited in the lesson plan. APA format must be used throughout the paper for in-text citations and references.

The Secret Language of the Health Professions
Right about now you will likely be feeling a bit overwhelmed. If you are completely overwhelmed, you need to be communicating with your instructor so we can give you extra assistance to be certain you do not fall behind. Being a bit overwhelmed is normal. As you read through the text there are terms and content that seem much like a foreign language to you.Let?s give it a go – watch this video: Easy German – Basic Conversation Phrases 1 (03:22)Clearly, learning German would take some time and practice. So does learning the language used in the health professions. But when you do learn it, this special language of ours can be rather fun. It makes us members of an exclusive club, the general public is not invited.It also poses great safety risks. If we do not learn the language properly, the risk of errors increases as we may get something wrong or be misunderstood by another health professional. If we are not careful the patient has no idea what is going on, or what they are supposed to do. Miscommunication has caused innumerable deaths, including that of infants whose parents did not understand the pharmacy directions for pediatric dosages of medications and whose health professionals did not take the time to ensure they did.Read: Dose of Confusion“When you pick out colors, it’s supposed to be for prom dresses or Christmas pictures, not colors fo the lining of her casket.” – Christine Hutto, Brianna’s mother ÿReport on medication errors due to medical terminology miscommunication.Include the following aspects in the discussion:
Share a personal experience or near miss that med term miscommunication caused or locate an article to use
Summarize the situation including the specific med term error
What could have been done to prevent the miscommunication
Discuss the actions you will take during this course so you can provide safe patient care
