Which objectives did you develop to address these standards

Part 1: Find your State’s Academic Standards

Go to the Oklahoma State Department of Education, or the State Department of Education in your state of residence. Find Academic Standards in your state. In Oklahoma, these are under Services and Oklahoma Academic Standards. Choose a grade level and content area that you currently teach or would like to teach in the future. If you are currently teaching in higher education or Adult Basic Education, use the relevant standards and learning outcomes from your instructional context. Include a copy or link to these standards for your instructor to view.

Part B-For Assignment 1, you will write a professional growth plan on how you will use the skill of setting objectives for a classroom, district, or group of people that you currently work with or hope to work with in the future. Your objectives must be aligned with the standards you selected in Part 1 of Assignment 1. Adhering to APA guidelines, refer to your text and 1-3 outside resources in this plan. Be sure to cite your sources in the 500- to 600- word professional growth plan. Use these questions to guide your plan:

● Which standards did you choose to work? ● Which objectives did you develop to address these standards

(some states list objectives for you)? ● How will I use student-friendly language that clearly reflects the

content they will learn and the skills they will acquire? ● How will I ensure that objectives are linked to the Oklahoma

Academic Standards (or my state of residence) I have chosen? ● How will I include opportunities to determine students’ existing

knowledge and skills? ● In what ways will I reference objectives throughout the lessons?

 

 

● How will I post learning objectives, so they are in clear sight of students and parents?

● How will I know students understand the objectives? ● How will I connect activities to the learning objectives? ● How can I help students make connections between current

objectives and those of previous lessons, so it is clear how they all fit in the overall course or theme?

● How will I measure my progress as a teacher and the impact on student learning?

Part C-

Professional Growth Plan for Providing Feedback

For Assignment 2, you will continue to practice the skill of reflecting on your practice and write a professional growth plan that you will use to ensure you provide feedback to your students. Adhering to APA guidelines, refer to your text and 1-3 outside resources in this plan. Be sure to cite your sources in the 500- to 600- word professional growth plan. Use these questions to guide your plan:

● How will I be sure to provide feedback in a timely manner? ● How will I develop well-defined rubrics to evaluate students’ work

or performance? ● How will I ensure the feedback I provide is specific enough to help

students improve on their knowledge and skills, which align with the objectives I’ve chosen?

● How will I know that I am providing corrective feedback, rather than praise for effort?

● How will I help students develop their own feedback and correct their work until it is acceptable?

● How will I measure my progress as a teacher and the impact on student learning?

Think about how a social worker might address one of these barriers on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level.
  • Select a family system working with barriers and challenges, such as those related to differences in sexual orientation, a differences in race or ethnicity, substance abuse, food insecurity, or managing a disability.
  • Think about how a social worker might address one of these barriers on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level.
  • Next, visit the Walden Library to find information on barriers and social work roles for engaging with the family system. Support this post using information that you find, in addition to the assigned resources.
  • Walden Library recommends the following:
    • Navigate to the Social Work Research Guide. From the Library’s homepage, click on the blue button Research by Subject, then choose Social Work.
    • Use the gold-lined search box at the top of the pages to search thousands of social work journals. This is a great place to start your research.
    • Look at the results—especially the title and subjects—to see related concepts and keywords to add to your search.
    • Use OR between related terms, which means you will take either term. For example:
    • Domestic violence OR intimate partner violence
    • Add a second concept in Box #2 to focus your search. It helps to keep concepts separate, especially when multiple boxes are provided. For example:
      • Box #1: Domestic violence OR intimate partner violence
      • Box #2: Veterans
    • Refine your results based on what you find. Don’t be afraid to try other keywords or combinations of words.
    • Apply limits now. Scroll down in the left column to limit by date (last 5 years) and limit the results to peer-reviewed scholarly journals only.
    • To retrieve the full text of the article, click on the PDF or click on the Find@Walden button. Then, follow the prompts.
    • Other examples of searches:

MIS 112 – Fall 2022 Page 2 of 7

Task 1:

Task 1 Scenario: In our MIS 112 lecture videos, we discussed how to password protect a workbook. Suppose your supervisor at work, Julie Longfellow, has noticed Excel has fields for two passwords, one to open and one to modify.

 

Task 1(a): Using non-technical, conversational English, explain to Julie Longfellow (75-100 words) in your own original words why Excel has two options for passwords to protect an Excel workbook. In your answer, give a specific example for their use (i.e., what kind of data would you store in a workbook in which password protecting it would provide an advantage). Hint: This is discussed in the Excel Bible.

Task 1(b): Explain (50-75 words) to Julie Longfellow in your own original words what criteria you would use to choose a good password to protect a workbook. If you would like additional information about selecting good passwords, please see the University of Arizona password security website https://security.arizona.edu/content/password-security .
