How do teachers promote human flourishing when they assist students who struggle with foundational literacy skills?

Part of the Christian worldview includes honoring God by serving others in ways that promote human flourishing. How do teachers promote human flourishing when they assist students who struggle with foundational literacy skills? How can teachers help students thrive in their faith and life to be able to communicate and minister to others through their writing?

Applying Writing Strategies

There are several research-based strategies that can be used to teach students how to integrate the elements of the writing process (planning, organizing, writing, and revising). Some of these strategies, such as, “POW + TREE” and “STOP and DARE,” incorporate mnemonic devices to help students remember the elements.

Review “Case Study: Kaynia” to inform this assignment.

Write an essay on writing strategies that can be taught to students to develop their skills in applying the elements of the writing process.

Discuss the following in your essay:

Describe the “POW + TREE” and the “STOP and DARE” writing strategies, along with a third research-based strategy of your choice that is appropriate for Kaynia’s grade.

Out of the three writing strategies you described, select one to use with Kaynia, rationalizing your choice and explaining how that strategy would allow her to meet her writing goal, as well as engage in personal reflection and apply standards to evaluate her own writing.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly sources.

Indigenous population

For this assignment research an indigenous population associated with your Adopted country.

Describe briefly

(1) why they are considered an indigenous population and

(2) what you have found most interesting about them as such a people.

Program evaluation:Ethical Formative and Summative Evaluation Plans

Ethical Formative and Summative Evaluation Plans

As noted in the course overview, you will not only address obtaining a grant, but maintaining one as well. Funding sources are very particular about how you monitor ongoing progress towards proposed outcomes. Part of the grant application and periodic reporting will be your evaluation plan. There are usually two types of evaluation: formative (or ongoing) and summative (or outcome-based). You will need to use the readings and resources provided in this course to make decisions about how you will show you are making progress. This step is similar to your practice evaluations of client progress. You have several choices ranging from quantitative measures such as surveys, arrest rates, hospitalization rates, and frequency of use, to more qualitative measures such as exit interviews, focus groups, or listening groups. Triangulation of data sources helps to ensure validity of results. Using three or more data sources (often mixing qualitative and quantitative measures) can be effective.

Discuss your understanding of qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Then, discuss your understanding of formative and summative evaluations. Choose a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures for a formative (on-going) then a summative (final outcome) evaluation of each of your eight outcomes. For example, if you had an outcome that stated that 30-day use of alcohol among adolescents would be reduced by 50 percent, you could use an annual underage drinking survey to plot if a percentage of teens are consuming less alcohol in a 30-day period. This is considered a quantitative method. You could also gather a listening group of 10–12 adolescents who would be open, honest, and knowledgeable, and ask their perception of alcohol consumption among teens. This is considered a qualitative method. You may choose to use the listening sessions as formative evaluation and pre-and post-survey for summative evaluation. You need to rely on scholarly sources to defend your choices for all items listed above.

Submission Requirements

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Written communication: Develop accurate written communication and thoughts that convey the overall goals of the assignment and do not detract from the overall message. Your paper should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills.

Benchmark – Effective Approaches in Leadership and Management

Benchmark – Effective Approaches in Leadership and Management

In this assignment, you will be writing a  paper describing the differing approaches of nursing leaders and managers to issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:

Select an issue from the following list: bullying, unit closers and restructuring, floating, nurse turnover, nurse staffing ratios, use of contract employees (i.e., registry and travel nurses), or magnet designation.

Describe the selected issue. Discuss how it impacts quality of care and patient safety in the setting in which it occurs.

Discuss how professional standards of practice should be demonstrated in this situation to help rectify the issue or maintain professional conduct.

Explain the differing roles of nursing leaders and nursing managers in this instance and discuss the different approaches they take to address the selected issue and promote patient safety and quality care. Support your rationale by using the theories, principles, skills, and roles of the leader versus manager described in your readings.

Discuss what additional aspects mangers and leaders would need to initiate in order to ensure professionalism throughout diverse health care settings while addressing the selected issue.

Describe a leadership style that would best address the chosen issue. Explain why this style could be successful in this setting.
