strengths and weaknesses as a speaker.

Think back on an important conversation you had recently in which you wanted to achieve a particular result. (Examples:-asking your employer to change your work schedule;- explaining to a friend how to change the oil and filter in a car; -attempting to talk your spouse or partner into buying the computer you like rather than the one he or she prefers.) Work up a brief analysis of the conversation. PLEASE SELECT ONE OF THESE EXAMPLE AND DEVELOP THE HOMEWORK.
In your analysis, explain the following: (1) your purpose in the conversation and the message strategy you chose to achieve your purpose; (2) the communication channels used during the conversation and how they affected the outcome; (3) the interference—internal or external—you encountered during the conversation; (4) the steps you took to adjust to feedback; (5) the strategic changes you would make in preparing for and carrying out the conversation if you had it to do over again.
Divide a sheet of paper into two columns. Label one column “Characteristics of an Effective Public Speaker.” Label the other column “Characteristics of an Ineffective Public Speaker.” In the columns, list and briefly explain what you believe to be the five most important characteristics of effective and ineffective speakers. Be prepared to discuss your ideas in class.
Based on the lists you developed for Exercise 2, candidly evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses as a speaker. Identify the three primary aspects of speech-making you most want to improve.

Culturally inclusive teaching and empowerment

For this assignment, create a slide digital presentation in two parts to educate your colleagues about meeting the needs of specific ELLs and making connections between school and family.

Part 1

In the first part of your presentation, provide your colleagues with useful information about unique factors that affect language acquisition among LTELs, RAELs, and SIFEs.

This part of the presentation should include:

A description of the characteristics of LTELs, RAELs, and SIFEs
An explanation of the cultural, sociocultural, psychological, or political factors that affect the language acquisition of LTELs, RAELs, and SIFEs
A discussion of factors that affect the language acquisition of refugee, migrant, immigrant and Native American ELLs and how each of these ELLs may relate to LTELs, RAEL, or SIFEs
A discussion of additional factors that affect the language acquisition of grades K-12 LTELs, RAEL, and SIFEs
Part 2

In the second part of the presentation, recommend culturally inclusive practices within curriculum and instruction. Provide useful resources that would empower the family members of ELLs.

This part of the presentation should include:

Examples of curriculum and materials, including technology, that promote a culturally inclusive classroom environment.
Examples of strategies that support culturally inclusive practices.
A brief description of how home and school partnerships facilitate learning.
At least two resources for families of ELLs that would empower them to become partners in their child’s academic achievement.

Action research

The methodological or philosophical approaches include the following:

Action research (AR)
Appreciative inquiry (AI)
For this Discussion Board, introduce yourself to your colleagues, and focus your discussion on the following questions:

What interests you most about action research and appreciative inquiry?
In your current or past organizations where have you seen appreciative inquiry used, and how was it used? Was it successful? Why or why not?

Attitude Formation

Discussion 1: Attitude Formation
Advertisers successfully use classical conditioning strategies to persuade consumers. Imagine that you are an advertising manager. For this Discussion, imagine the following scenario:

You are the advertising manager at an agency that has been hired by a corporation preparing to launch a new product. Your assignment is to design an advertisement that promises to popularize the new product and ultimately boost the corporation’s profit margin. A national ad launch guarantees the new product will have wide visibility, putting pressure on you to deliver a message that will encourage consumers to purchase the product.

For this Discussion, you will apply classical conditioning strategies to an ad campaign and analyze the formation of attitudes by classical conditioning.

To Prepare
Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider classical conditioning strategies employed to create positive attitudes.
Also, consider how advertisers employ classical conditioning strategies to increase the desirability of their products.
Create a fictional product not yet on the market and design an advertisement (i.e., print, radio, television, or some other type of media ad) that uses classical conditioning strategies. Search the Internet for ideas to guide you as you design an advertisement.

Post a description of your fictional product and your advertisement. Describe the process by which classical conditioning creates favorable attitudes sufficient to encourage consumers to buy the product.

Demographic information
Presenting problem
History or present illness
Past psychiatric history
Medical history
Substance use history
Developmental history
Family psychiatric history
Psychosocial history
History of abuse and/or trauma

“Application of Role Theory to a Case Study “

Assignment: Application of Role Theory to a Case Study- Tiffani Bradley

you will use role theory to apply to your chosen case study. In other words, your theoretical orientation—or lens—is role theory as you analyze the case study.
Use the “Dissecting a Theory and Its Application to a Case Study” worksheet to help you dissect the theory.
To prepare:

Submit a narrated PowerPoint presentation using Kaltura Media
Your presentation should address the following:

Identify the presenting problem for the case study you selected. (Remember the presenting problem has to be framed from the perspective of role theory. For example, the presenting problem can be framed within the context of role functioning).
Identify all the relevant roles assumed by the client.
Analyze the social expectations and social and cultural norms revolving around the role, social position, and role scripts of one of the roles assumed by the client.
Explain the role and social position of the social worker in working with the client in the case study.
Describe how the role(s) and social position(s) assumed by the social worker will influence the relationship between the social worker and the client.
Identify three assessment questions that are guided by role theory that you will ask the client to better understand the problem.
Identify and describe two interventions that are aligned with the presenting problem and role theory.
Identify one outcome that you would measure if you were to evaluate one of the interventions you would implement to determine if the intervention is effective.
Evaluate one advantage and one limitation in using role theory in understanding the case.

Understanding of the evidence-based practice (EBP) models is key to implementation of EBP

Understanding of the evidence-based practice (EBP) models is key to implementation of EBP. There are various models available; some of which were presented to you in this unit.

Consider the following questions in your discussion post:

Select one of the models presented in this unit.
Describe how this model would be effective for implementing EBP and/or best practices in the practice, administration, or education setting.
Consider how you might introduce this change.
What barriers might you confront?
Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Nojax employee personality analysis

This competency will allow you to evaluate employee makeup and utilize that understanding to create relationships within the organization.

Instructions
NoJax is finally ready for you to start in-depth evaluations of organizational behavior at the micro level. Start by viewing the NoJax Company Background document Click for more options

and cross referencing the employee profiles with the organizational structure provided. This will give you an idea of what managers are working together. Pay particular attention to the given personality trait scores, education, and experience for each manager. From there, start to form an opinion about how these managers will be working together, both positively and negatively. The section on policy will also provide some context on working conditions and employee interaction. Senior management would like you to write a report providing analysis of your observations.

Address the following in your report:

Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the most important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the least important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
Provide an in-depth analysis of a minimum of four of the management pairs working together utilizing personality scores and employee background information. For example, you might choose Design Manager Alice Bloom and Lifting Shoes Manager Anam Basra. For each pair, identify potential strengths of them working together and two potential weaknesses of them working together. This does require some hypothesizing based on employee personality traits scores and background information. Considering job tasks and job design helps here too.

Individuals can develop skills to become effective leaders

Individuals can develop skills to become effective leaders. This is similar to Trait Theory in that it focuses on the leader’s characteristics but is different in that it opens leadership to those who are not born with specific traits. This means that any one of us can become exceptional leaders by identifying skills we need to improve and working on them.

Chapter 4 is very similar to the Skills Approach in that it also focuses on leaders but identifies specific Behaviors that influence their impact on others.

Please answer the following questions

Discuss how all the arrows work in the Mumford Skills Model (with Individual Attributes, Competencies, and Leadership Outcomes).
How do attributes influence competencies?
How do competencies influence outcomes?
How do career experiences affect competencies and attributes?
Explain the characteristics of each of the seven leadership styles shown on the Leadership Grid.
Describe how specific leaders exemplify each of the seven styles.
