analyze and evaluate ways in which the CIP has addressed the needs outlined in the needs assessment, the degree to which the improvement actions have been embedded in the school culture and climate, and how the plan has been shared with all stakeholders.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn about the school’s Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP). Every school should have a CIP; however, some may be more comprehensive than others. Additionally, this assignment will allow you to consider how the school’s stakeholders interpret the effect of the CIP on the school’s culture and climate. For example, does the CIP support the needs of the school from the stakeholders’ perspectives? Is everyone aware of the CIP, and do they contribute, as applicable, to its success?

Coordinate with your principal mentor and review your internship school’s current CIP and most recent needs assessment.

In 250-500 words, analyze and evaluate ways in which the CIP has addressed the needs outlined in the needs assessment, the degree to which the improvement actions have been embedded in the school culture and climate, and how the plan has been shared with all stakeholders. Additionally, analyze the alignment between the CIP and its implementation with the school’s vision and mission statements.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Draft a project outline that presents a prospective timeline and targeted customer segment of your project.

TESLA CHOOSEN COMPANY

Overview

Leaders need input, especially from stakeholders, to move ideas along. Having a unique, insightful product or service is just one step. Project outlines that include careful consideration of a company’s mission, opportunities, and risks can help ideas gain momentum and snowball in significance.

Scenario

Now that you have written a blog post identifying critical elements needed to support the rationale of your project, outlining specifics is key! These specifics will be used in an upcoming elevator pitch you will submit to senior management in Milestone One. Before management will approve exploring the idea for new opportunities and funding, they have key performance indicators (KPIs) you will need to address. Your goal for this assignment is to provide an outline that strongly, yet carefully, presents an argument to move your concept forward.

Prompt

Using MarketLine, Yahoo Finance, and the company’s investor relations webpage, continue your investigation of the company you selected in your Module One blog post. Specifically, look at the company’s profile, financials, and SWOT analysis.

Using speculative strategies, articulate your thoughts. Remember, success may mean revenue to a for-profit business; however, to a non-profit, it may mean a specific outcome, such as donor retention rate, social media engagement, or email open rate.

Draft a project outline that presents a prospective timeline and targeted customer segment of your project. This project outline is a precursor to Milestone One: Elevator Pitch. The KPIs you need to consider and address in your outline are:

  • The intended customer: Describe the intended customer or customer profile for the new product or service.
  • Opportunities in the market: Explain the opportunities in the market based on your research.
  • The financial opportunity: Assess the financial opportunity that the project presents for increasing cash flow and topline revenue.
    • Can it be cash flow positive and profitable? For example, Zappos donates a pair of shoes for every pair of shoes sold. This leads to profit in the long run due to good CSR and company image, but is not immediately profitable.

Your contribution will be evaluated based on the quality of the input.

Guidelines for Submission

Use the Module Two Assignment Template Word Document to submit your project outline as a Word file. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Using the information you’ve learned in the course, discuss how you would design a policy for the health care issue you selected. Remember to take into consideration the various aspects of the policy development cycle and level of implementation (federal, state, or local).

 

Respond: use 100-200 words to respond to each of the following prompts:

1. Why is this issue important?

1. List one possible policy action (or possible solution) that could help address this issue. Make sure your solution is specific. “Take steps to lower healthcare cost” is not specific. “Mandate pricing transparency for all hospitals” is specific.

1. Include two possible advantages and two possible disadvantages of the policy action.

1. What level of government (federal or state, or possibly local) would primarily be responsible for implementation? Which agency or agencies would likely help implement?

1. How would you propose the policy be evaluated?

Do you support efforts to increase awareness of and address implicit bias (e.g., through implicit bias training) within society?

For this exercise, you are asked to complete an Implicit Association Test (IAT) (for educational purposes only – you are not being graded on the outcome of the assessment) and to share your reaction to the test results and some of your thoughts on the concept of implicit bias in general.

Step 1, taking the test: Go to the Project Implicit (Links to an external site.) website and select “Take A Test”. You will be asked to consent to continue after reading about the study and how your data may be used. After indicating that you wish to proceed, you will be taken to a list of tests you can complete. For this assignment, please select the “Race IAT” (other tests e.g., the “Weapons IAT” and the “Skin-Tone IAT” may be of interest to you but please complete the Race IAT first). Once you have selected the “Race IAT”, follow the provided instructions to complete the test and view your results. The site estimates that the test will take approximately 10 minutes to complete so plan accordingly. When I completed the test, I needed computer keys to respond so it may be best to attempt this from a computer rather than phone.

Step 2, reaction: First, please briefly react to the test and your results (you are not required to share your results, only your reaction). Was the test interesting to complete? Were your findings expected or unexpected? Do you see any value in having other people (e.g., family members, friends, criminal justice professionals, healthcare workers, etc.) complete a test like this? What impact, if any, do you think understanding our implicit biases could have on racial and social justice issues? Do you support efforts to increase awareness of and address implicit bias (e.g., through implicit bias training) within society?
