Explain at least one environmental strategy (how you would change the classroom environment) to increase success in the classroom setting.

 Assessment Description
Special education teachers often consult and train staff members. Consideration of typical development and achievement of developmental milestones can help staff determine if a student needs a referral for a special education evaluation. This information is often used to select assessments and identify the effects of a possible disability. If eligibility is determined, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed. IEP teams describe an individual’s strengths, interests, preferences, and needs, while considering the characteristics of a given disability and its effect on a student. The IEP defines the specially designed instruction, accommodations, related services, and supplementary aids and services that will best support a student in accessing and achieving goals aligned with the general education curriculum. When teachers understand the effect of a disability on learning, they are able to prepare the classroom environment and use specially designed instructions to support students with disabilities.
Imagine that your principal has asked you to conduct a professional development session for staff members about developmental milestones for students. Referring to the topic Resources and your research, use the “Developmental Milestones In-Service Template” to create a 15-20 slide digital presentation that describes the typical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional developmental milestones of children in the grade levels associated with your field of study.
The presentation should address the following:

Describe developmental milestones and explain why they are important.
For each disability category, describe typical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional development and the atypical development of a student with the specified disability. Include examples of how the milestones may present differently for students with and without each disability.
For each disability category, explain at least one specially designed instructional strategy that could be used to enhance academic achievement.
For each disability category, explain at least one environmental strategy (how you would change the classroom environment) to increase success in the classroom setting.
Title slide, reference slide, and speaker notes.

Describe your strengths and weaknesses and how you plan to develop your leadership skill set.

Assessment 4 Instructions: Stakeholder Presentation
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
· For this assessment you will create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint presentation for one or more stakeholder or leadership groups to generate interest and buy-in for the plan proposal you developed for the third assessment.
As a current or future nurse leader, you may be called upon to present to stakeholders and leadership about projects that you have been involved in or wish to implement. The ability to communicate a plan—and potential implications of not pursuing such a plan—to stakeholders effectively can be critically important in creating awareness and buy-in, as well as building your personal and professional brand in your organization. It is equally important that you know how to create compelling presentations for others’ delivery and ensure that they convey the same content you would deliver if you were the presenter.
You are encouraged to complete the Evidence-Based Practice: Basics and Guidelines activity before you develop the presentation. This activity consists of six questions that will create the opportunity to check your understanding of the fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as ways to identify EBP in practice. The information gained from completing this formative will help promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation and demonstrate courseroom engagement—it requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency
· Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health. 
1. Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
<li”>Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes. 
1. Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
· Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team. 
2. Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
2. Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
· Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes. 
3. Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed speaker notes are provided.
3. Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years) with an APA formatted reference list with few errors.
Professional Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan 
could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA. 

When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.
Instructions
Please follow the Capella 

Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]
. If you need technical information on using PowerPoint, refer to 

Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations

11. How likely is it to work?
11. What will the interdisciplinary team do?
· Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
12. How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
12. How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
12. How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
· Part 5: Evaluation.
13. What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
13. What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success? 
2. How could this be used to show the degree of success?
Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough speaker’s notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.

Explain the legal requirements governing employee retention policies, citing applicable local, state, and federal law.

Recruitment and Retention Management Brief

Overview

Recruitment and retention laws can vary between levels of government. For example, some localities require higher minimum wages than the federal standard because of local livable wage ordinances (local laws). In this assignment, you’ll identify, research, and discuss general federal and local laws affecting recruitment and retention.

Imagine yourself as the human resources manager for a local and well-established construction company. Management executives have asked you to redesign the company’s recruiting and retention practices. Your focus will be on updating or creating new policies compliant with local, state, and federal laws governing recruiting and retention.

Your first task is to write a brief for management that describes the scope of existing local, state, and federal laws the company must comply with, including any legal requirements specific to the construction field.

Write a 5-6 page management brief using the 

Management Brief Template

(see below) in which you:

· Analyze local, state, and federal recruiting and retention laws and practices the company must comply with.
· Include at least two researched examples of local laws in your area that may impose additional legal requirements on recruitment and retention. These laws are in addition to state and federal legislation.
· Explain what compensation, benefits, and incentives the company may offer candidates, citing applicable local, state, and federal law.
· Explain what information the company may and may not solicit from candidates during the recruitment process, citing applicable local, state, and federal law.
· Explain the legal requirements governing employee retention policies, citing applicable local, state, and federal law.
· For example, equity in determining promotions and salary.
· Use at least 5 sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Number and cite each source listed on your source page.

Musculoskeletal Function:G.J. is a 71-year-old overweight woman who presents to the Family Practice Clinic for the first time complaining of a long history of bilateral knee discomfort that becomes worse when it rains and usually feels better when the weather is warm and dry. “My arthritis hasn’t improved a bit this summer though,” she states. Discomfort in the left knee is greater than in the right knee. She has also suffered from low back pain for many years, but recently it has become worse. She is having difficulty using the stairs in her home. The patient had recently visited a rheumatologist who tried a variety of NSAIDs to help her with pain control. The medications gave her mild relief but also caused significant and intolerable stomach discomfort. Her pain was alleviated with oxycodone. However, when she showed increasing tolerance and began insisting on higher doses of the medication, the physician told her that she may need surgery and that he could not prescribe more oxycodone for her. She is now seeking medical care at the Family Practice Clinic. Her knees started to get significantly more painful after she gained 20 pounds during the past nine months. Her joints are most stiff when she has been sitting or lying for some time and they tend to “loosen up” with activity. The patient has always been worried about osteoporosis because several family members have been diagnosed with the disease. However, nonclinical manifestations of osteoporosis have developed.
Case Study Questions

Define osteoarthritis and explain the differences with osteoarthrosis. List and analyze the risk factors that are presented on the case that contribute to the diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

Use as a guide please do not copy this information. Also please use the textbook
1. Which antipsychotics are considered first-generation and why are they used less often than second generation antipsychotics? Are second-generation antipsychotics more effective? First generation antipsychotics, also referred to as “typical antipsychotics” were developed in the 1950s. Commonly prescribed first-generation antipsychotics include: Loxitane (loxapine); Mellaril (thioridazine); Moban (molindone); Navane (thiothixene); Prolixin (fluphenazine); Serentil (mesoridazine); Stelazine (trifluoperazine); Trilafon (perphenazine); and Thorazine (chlorpromazine). These first-generation antipsychotics are used less often than second generation antipsychotics because these medications have a high risk of side effects and some of those side effects can be severe. Second-generation antipsychotics, also known as “atypical antipsychotics,” were developed in the 1980s. Second-generation antipsychotics have more metabolic symptoms, including obesity, diabetes and hyperlipidemia (Heldt, 2017; Stahl et al., 2021). Side effects from first-generation antipsychotics include extrapyramidal effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, rigidity, tremors, and seizures. There is no evidence that second generation antipsychotics are significantly more effective than first generation antipsychotics in the treatment of cognitive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia (Stahl et al., 2021; Stroup, et al., 2003). 2. Compare and contrast the following conditions: Tardive Dyskinesia, Acute Dystonia, Athetosis, and Tics. Tardive dyskinesia is one of the symptoms of long-term use of a first -generation antipsychotic. It is a condition where there is constant or rhythmic involuntary movements that usually involves the muscles of the mouth. It can appear as lip smacking, chewing, excessive eye blinking, grimacing. These symptoms appear slowly over time. Tardive dyskinesia will not go away once the antipsychotic is stopped, it can become irreversible if present for too long. The risk of a patient developing tardive dyskinesia goes up with every year of continuous treatment. TD is specific to the use of antipsychotics (Heldt, 2017). Acute dystonia can develop within the first few hours of a patient receiving an antipsychotic. It is a sustained and painful involuntary contraction of a muscle group- usually involving the face or neck muscles. This is an easily reversible side effect and is managed with an anticholinergic drug such as Benadryl or Cogentin. This condition This study source was downloaded by 100000769192234 from CourseHero.com on 10-16-2023 17:34:58 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/123197773/Discussion-7docx/ can resolve within a few minutes of proper medication and will not leave any long-term effects (Heldt, 2017). Athetosis is slow, involuntary, writhing movements of fingers, hands, toes and feet. Patients with this condition cannot maintain a stable or still position and when patients attempt to try to control the movements, symptoms can get worse. Athetosis is often a longterm symptom of continued use of first-generation antipsychotics (Holland, 2018). Tics are distinguished from EPS symptoms by the fact that tics are most commonly brief movements are able to be suppressed. Tics are sudden, rapid and repetitive movement (motor tics) or vocalizations (vocal tics). Those with tics feel the urge building up inside them before the tic appears, they these individuals report a feeling of relief after the tic is over. Although tics are involuntary, tics stop during sleep and patients can suppress the urge for short periods of time with effort (Martino, 2020). Heldt, J. P. (2017). Memorable psychopharmacology.

Identify and describe a deity, (God, god(s), a powerful spirit). Describe this deity’s character, values, disposition towards humanity. Then describe and examine how that deity has shaped informed society

For this discussion identify and describe a deity, (God, god(s), a powerful spirit). Describe this deity’s character, values, disposition towards humanity. Then describe and examine how that deity has shaped & informed society. Defend your explanation of how that concept or person of deity shapes/d society with historic, cultural, or personal examples. You will be required to respond to 2 other classmates’ posts :One deity that has a significantly shaped informed society is the Hindu deity, Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is considered the 8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. He is depicted as a divine being with a human-like form, often portrayed as a young and playful cowherd.Lord Krishna’s character is multifaceted and encompasses various qualities. He is renowned for his mischievous and playful nature, symbolizing the joy and beauty of life. Simultaneously, he is a wise and compassionate teacher, imparting spiritual knowledge and guidance to his devotees. Lord Krishna is also revered as the embodiment of love and devotion, particularly through his relationship with his beloved devotee Radha. In terms of values, Lord Krishna emphasizes the importance of righteousness, duty, and moral conduct. He teaches that one should perform their duties selflessly, without attachment to the results, and surrender the outcomes to a higher power. Lord Krishna also emphasizes the significance of love, compassion, and forgiveness, encouraging individuals to treat others with kindness and understanding. Lord Krishna’s disposition towards humanity is one of benevolence and compassion. He is believed to be deeply concerned about the well-being and spiritual progress of all beings. Lord Krishna is known for his willingness to help and protect his devotees, as well as his ability to guide them towards liberation and self-realization. Lord Krishna’s influence on society can be observed through various historic, cultural, and personal examples. Historically, Lord Krishna’s teachings and stories have been passed down through generations, shaping the moral and ethical fabric of Hindu society. His teachings on duty and righteousness have influenced the social and political systems in India, emphasizing the importance of justice and fairness. Culturally, Lord Krishna has inspired countless works of art, literature, music, and dance. His divine love story with Radha has been a recurring theme in Indian classical art and literature, inspiring generations of artists and writers. Lord Krishna’s teachings and stories continue to shape and inform Hindu society, serving as a source of spiritual guidance and inspiration. In Christianity, God is a powerful and transcendent deity, he is said to have created the world and all that dwells in it. Christians believe that three parts comprise God: the Father God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus, recognized as God’s son, came to earth, and started teaching the word of God at an early age. The Holy Spirit is a spiritual manifestation of God, serving as a guide force, providing believers with transformation and salvation. The bible describes God as righteous, generous, loving, compassionate, and kind, whose actions towards others are an example to those who believe in him. His disposition towards humanity is characterized by positivity, forgiveness, justice, mercy, attentive listening, love, and responsive granting of prayers to those who believe and have faith in him. God has an immense impact in our society, shaping people’s definition of right and wrong. Christians believe that if they act in the right way they will receive miracles, salvation, love, and forgiveness. While those who engage in evil actions have to face consequences, such as famine, misery, disease, and death. An example of this is a person who firmly believes in the word of God, and often dedicates themselves to prayer and communication with God, if there is a situation in their life in which they are required to deceive someone, they will not do it, because they know that dishonesty will have consequences according to Christian teachings. God also promise believers an afterlife, a heavenly or paradisiacal existence, for those who lead righteous lives and truly believe in him. In addition, many Christians believe they have a deeper connection with God by assisting to a church, therefore there are churches all around the world, believers go to Church to worship God, communicate with him, gain a sense of belonging and improve their spirituality. Moreover, today there are many religious institutions such as Christian schools that teach students about God’s creations, the Bible, Christian values, and lead children to have a life based on God’s teachings. 

Describe a situation you experienced or witnessed in the workplace when a current or past supervisor used a transformational approach to motivate their employees. Was it effective? What about the supervisor’s behaviors marked them as a transformational leader?

In this assignment, your critical-thinking skills will be assessed. The critical-thinking rubric will be useful for this purpose. In this course, MGT401, critical-thinking skills will be assessed at the “introduced” level. In MGT420, they are assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in MGT422 your critical thinking skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level. The grading rubric for critical-thinking skills at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT401 SLP 3 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective assignments.
Before starting this assignment, be sure that you are familiar with what is meant by “critical thinking.”
Critical thinking is one of the five key rubric criteria by which your assignments are graded. Therefore, you are expected to demonstrate evidence of critical thinking in all assignments. The following might help you to learn the concept of critical thinking.
