Promoting Family Engagement at Scribbles Early Learning Program
The Scribbles Early Learning Program is committed to supporting the  development and learning of each child within the program community.  Within each of the classrooms and the larger program, families are  embraced as partners. As the director for the program, your goal is to  work to enhance and strengthen the current model through integration of  evidence-based practices. You have gathered information about the  program, as reflected in the “Scribbles Early Learning Center Program  Description” document. In your conversation with program staff, you have  identified that although there are many opportunities and structures in  place to support family engagement, the majority of families within  Scribbles Early Learning Program are not presently engaged as partners  in the early childhood classroom/program community. You have decided to  develop two workshops, one for staff and one for families, with the goal  of sharing information that will increase and enhance family  engagement.

Term 6 week 7 discussions

  
Week 7 Discussion Forum (MKT6250 Healthcare Marketing)
1.    Discuss the value of monitoring market share compared to using the absolute measure of performance.
2.    Discuss the scope of an organization’s marketing audit and elements of that audit.
Week 7 Discussion Forum (ECO550 Managerial Economics)
Keds-the traditional maker of white canvas tennis shoes-was near oblivion in the early 1980s because competitors like Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and Brooks took away many of its customers. If you were at the helm of Keds, what would you have done to turn the company around? 
Unit 7 DB: Existing Conditions and Different Industry Environments (BUS411 Business Policy Seminar)
Linda A. Hill, Harvard Business School professor, discusses several paradoxes that exist having to do with innovation including fostering the need to experiment and discover while still meeting product deadlines.
After watching Hill’s three videos provide responses and explanations to the following questions:

If diversity creates conflict, in what ways can it lead to      innovation?
Is it effective for a leader to set a vision for      innovation?   Should innovation be planned?
What element or elements are necessary for innovation to occur in      the workplace?
Building a culture that stimulates ‘collective genius.’ Innovation      is less about breakthrough moments and more to do with channeling      organization-wide intelligence and diversity. Do you agree with Linda, and      why?

Unit 7 Discussion (ACC450 Advanced Accounting)
What Happens if a Partner Becomes Insolvent? Page 712.
In 2010, three dentists—Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker—formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio. The partnership’s primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs, supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Because the partners maintained their own separate clients, annual net income has been allocated as follows: Each partner receives the specific amount of revenues that he or she generated during the period less one-third of all expenses. From the beginning, the partners did not anticipate expansion of the practice; consequently, they could withdraw cash each year up to 90 percent of their share of income for the period.
The partnership had been profitable for a number of years. Over the years, Rogers has used much of his income to speculate in real estate in the Toledo area. By 2020 he was spending less time with the dental practice so that he could concentrate on his investments. Unfortunately, a number of these real estate deals proved to be bad decisions, and he incurred significant losses. On November 8, 2020, while Rogers was out of town, his personal creditors filed a $97,000 claim against the partnership’s assets. Unbeknownst to Wilkinson and Walker, Rogers had become personally insolvent.
Wilkinson and Walker hurriedly met to discuss the problem because Rogers could not be located. Rogers’s capital account was currently at $105,000, but the partnership had only $27,000 in cash and liquid assets. The partners knew that Rogers’s dental equipment had been used for many years and could be sold for relatively little. In contrast, the building had appreciated in value, and Rogers’s creditors’ claims could be satisfied by selling the property. However, this action would have a tremendously adverse impact on the dental practice of the remaining two partners.
What alternatives are available to Wilkinson and Walker to deal with this situation, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Week 4 | Biology homework help

 
This Discussion also has two parts. Please respond to both. 
Part 1: Evaluating Web Resources
As regular users of the World Wide Web, both for personal and instructional purposes, we all share a concern over the accuracy of information available on the Internet.  Indeed, one of the Internet’s most powerful and novel features (its ability to provide a world-wide forum for the ideas, opinions and beliefs of anyone with access to a server) can also be one of its biggest liabilities.
Many members of the scientific community have made statements to the effect that scientific information on the Web is often inaccurate, flawed or unreliable.  However, as scientists we are trained to be skeptical of generalizations until we have data to support them.
Many people would argue that a teacher’s most important role is to build/develop a student’s skills in CRITICAL THINKING and CRITICAL READING.  This creates a student who can teach themselves, enabling lifelong learning.
One of the Internet’s potential liabilities (its ability to provide false or inaccurate information at the click of a button) also creates an opportunity to build and reinforce skills in CRITICAL THINKING and CRITICAL READING.
For this week, I want you to do a little web research. Choose a topic, perhaps something like “Smoking and Cancer”. Limit your topics to the sciences. Use your favorite search engine and look at the first several items that come up. For “smoking and cancer” on Google the first item that comes up is a bunch of ads (unfortunately), then this –
Smoking and cancer | Cancer Research UK
www.cancerresearchuk.org/…cancer/…cancer/smoki…
Cancer Research UK
Smoking is the most preventable cause of cancer in the world. Smoking account for more than 1 in 4 UK cancer deaths. Quit smoking and reduce your risk.
?How smoking causes cancer – ?Smoking facts and evidence – ?Passive smoking
On Bing, I get this, after the ads –

smoking causes cancer – National Cancer Institutewww.cancer.gov › … › Causes and Prevention › Risk Factors › TobaccoA fact sheet that lists some of the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke and describes the health problems caused by cigarette smoking and the benefits of …

I want you to look at the article that comes up for your search and evaluate it for suitability of the reference. Use the following questions to guide your conference post.

Look at the scope of the article (does it cover the subject appropriately)
Who it the targeted to (is it a scholarly article, or is it written for a lay person)
The timeliness of the article (is the information current)
The authority of the article (who is writing it). 
What about the documentation of the article (does it site other good references). 
Finally, is the article objective.

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/instruct/guides/evaluation.html  This is the reference that inspired these questions and will provide an expanded explanation of the questions. This discussion was inspired by an article on evaluating the accuracy of scientific information on the internet by Dr. Jory Weintraub, as a matter of fact I pulled some of this discussion from Dr. Weintraub’s article.
Part 2: Discussion- Sexual Reproduction
During week 4, cellular division is described for organisms undergoing sexual and asexual reproduction. In addition, the concept of genetic inheritance through Mendel’s work and Morgan’s research on fruit fly are introduced. Answer the following questions on Mitosis, Meiosis, and genetic inheritance.

During the cell cycle, cell progression in that process is tightly regulated. Provide an example of a disorder resulting from errors in Meiosis. Is this disorder inherited? Explain.
There is a database summarizing all genetically inherited disorders. I encourage you to take a look at the database (https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition ). It is a great resource. As you browse the database, you may find that most disorders are recessive. Why do you think there are not many dominantly-inherited disorders? (Think about the individual with a dominantly inherited disorder).

Human resource management human resource management week 4 assignment

Each answer should be at least one paragraph long (500-750 words) and accurately reflect the text’s key points. Your answers should include direct evidence from the reading to support your argument. Please make sure to cite any quotes or paraphrased information. Make sure to proofread your work before submitting it.
Case Study 1. Whirlpool Mixes up Its Managerial Training: Closed-Looped Method Brings Learning Full Circle
Most Americans are familiar with Whirlpool. Whirlpool, which is based in Benton Harbor, Michigan, has been in business for more than century and is perhaps best known for the washers and dryers it makes. In addition, the company makes refrigerators, freezers, and cooking appliances that it sells under various other brand names around the world (Amana, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Roper are some of them).
During the last economic recession, appliance sales plummeted, and Whirlpool was forced to lay off thousands of workers. Although budgets were being slashed, Whirlpool needed to develop managers who could lead the company through the downturn as well as provide training that would have a measurable impact at a lower cost.
Previously Whirlpool University, the company’s 100-acre learning division located at its corporate headquarters, had used mainly classroom learning. The university now has a learning management system and conducts online training. A series of 30-minute modules are used to help familiarize and onboard new hires. In addition, Whirlpool now takes a “closed-loop” approach to training. Instead of just doing the popular types of training that other companies have adopted, it surveys managers to find out what types of training Whirlpool truly needs and what types it doesn’t, and then designs training programs based on those specific needs.
Because managers are central to the training and development of their employees and are in the best position to observe and coach rank-and-file employees, Whirlpool utilizes a 12-month-long intermittent training program for its managers called Leading People. The program consists of blended learning, including prework modules managers do online, followed by classroom training, business projects, and seminars with top managers. A manager’s direct reports provide an initial baseline assessment of the manager’s skills, and then the manager is assessed again following the training. James Crawford, in Whirlpool’s Chicago division, said the training helped him become a better leader: “It helped me pinpoint weak spots in my leadership practices and then gave me a strategy for turning those weaknesses into strengths.” The managers are later surveyed on how well the training is working and what can be done to improve it. In other words, there is a feedback system in place—hence the “closed-loop” moniker. With this approach, the design, delivery, and redesign of the training is a continuous circle and constantly being improved over time.
Its closed-loop feedback system has helped Whirlpool continue to assess and alter its training to adapt to new conditions. For example, today Whirlpool isn’t laying off employees; it’s trying to hire more of them as its older workers retire. To attract Millennials, the company has partnered with high school and colleges to offer an on-site apprenticeship program called “Work, Earn, and Learn.” In 2017, Whirlpool’s CEO, Jeff Fettig, was one of a number of corporate executives who met with President Donald Trump to talk about saving American jobs and encourage government support for the vocational training that today’s high-tech skills manufacturers today. “The jobs are there, but the skills are not,” said one executive at the meeting.
Questions

Why are a needs assessment and ongoing training important for firms like Whirlpool to conduct?
How do you think Whirlpool’s training strategy will need to change in the future?

ART HISTORY 3020 Saving Private Ryan and Goodfellas Discussion

Student a post (180 words response for the post is required)The lighting that I think is in the movie I chose (Saving Private Ryan) is low-key lighting. I say this because in the book it defines low-key lighting as the use of deep shadows with high contrast between the brightest parts of the scene and the darkest parts. Since most of this movie is outside this was the only one that made sense to me. The book also states that low-key lighting is often used in intense dramatic scenes and sense Saving Private Ryan is a movie about war this made the most sense to me. I think the techniques of low key lighting and why it is used is to make your mind think that something bad is about to happen. You see this type of lighting in horror films and other that the music the lighting is what scares you most of the time. The lighting advances the story because it leaves you wondering what is coming next in the case of horror films. It set the mood of the scene as well, if it is bright then you can think that something good is going to happen and if the scene stays dark or you cannot see anything you can assume something bad will happen. I think that if different choices where made then the scene would not be as impactful as it was. I do not know a lot about film but from the little bit that I have read it seems to me that light is a huge part of the movie because I believe that lighting sets the tone.ReferencesGoodykoontz, B., & Jacobs, C. P. (2014). Film: From watching to seeing (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) (2nd ed.). San Diego, CA: Bridgepoint Education, Inc.Eric mack attacks, Student b aus post (180 words response for the post is required)The film I chose to explain the type of lighting is Goodfellas. In the opening scene of the film the use of low-key lighting is very apparent. Three gang members are driving down the street in a vehicle, after hearing banging coming from the trunk they decide to pull over to the side of the road. At this point the scene uses low-key lighting by having the camera focused on the three men facing the trunk of the vehicle, with the only source of light being the tail lights of the vehicle. For a few seconds the scene builds suspense by showing the men covered by a red blanket of light coming from the tail light as they nervously prepare to open the trunk. With the red being the only break in the surrounding darkness the scene creates an ominous feeling, making the viewers anticipate something bad is going to happen. Sure enough the gangsters open the trunk to show a man they intended to kill but only ended up severely injuring, and showing the gangsters finishing what they started. With the opening scene being very dark and using red lighting it signifies events to come later on in the film, as we later find out how the protagonist ended up in the situation, and explains his life that’s surrounding by crime and murder. The scene is very significant because the death of the victim later on leads to the death of one of the main supporting actors, which contributes to the downfall of the tight-knit group of gangsters.Goodfellas – Opening Scene (1080p) (Links to an external site.)

Case analysis—strategic leadership: the essential skills

Read this Article https://hbr.org/2013/01/strategic-leadership-the-esssential-skills and then complete case study. 
Consult the Case Study Guidelines and the Case Analysis rubric attached to this page to ensure you meet the assignment requirements. Requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:

Be a minimum of 1000 words.

Note: Do not include abstracts, bullets, headings and subheadings, cover and reference pages, and charts and graphs in your word count.

Follow the latest version of the APA Publication Manual.  
Be in a Word document format, double-spaced, and use a 10- or 12-point Arial or Times New Roman font. The page margins on the top, bottom, left, and right should be 1 inch each. 
Be supported by multiple references cited in the latest version of APA style. Justify your analysis by including in-text citations and your references as applicable. Use the following resources to properly cite your work:

Is checked for spelling and grammatical errors.

 Guidelines:
A case study is a short description of a real-life situation. Analyzing business case studies gives you the opportunity to apply those concepts to real business problems. Cases are generally written for several types of analysis. Usually, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer. Rather, cases provide a vehicle for you to demonstrate your understanding and your ability to apply course concepts. You must use appropriate sources (properly cited) to support your work. 
Check your analysis by assessing how well it demonstrates your leadership management knowledge. If your answer relies on your impressions of leadership management prior to taking this course, it is likely that the analysis is not your best effort. 
Format for Submissions
Use the case study rubric as a guide.
Remember, this is an ANALYSIS of the case and not a SUMMARY of the case.
Summary vs Analysis: A summary will discuss the contents similar to a book report. An analysis will read the case in depth and then think about the main issues that were discussed.
Writers use summaries to describe the source they are using, as opposed to evaluating or commenting on it. Summary often precede analysis and help prepare the reader for the writer’s ideas about the source.
Unlike summary, analysis relies on the observations, ideas, evaluations, and inferences of the writer http://www.differencebetween.net/language/words-language/difference-between-summary-and-analysis/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). An analysis is more in depth and uses a higher level of cognitive thinking — critical thinking.
You will prepare and submit a number of short papers on a case study posed by the instructor. These papers are an opportunity for you to respond to an issue drawn from the module. You must support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited including course resources and additional credible resources.
You must follow the format and guidelines, given below, for the short papers:
Title Page: Include name, paper title, course title, instructor’s name, and date.
Introduction: The first paragraph is used as the introduction but is not labeled as the introduction – the APA writing style assumes the first paragraph will be the background and overview. Discuss the purpose of the paper in succinct, declarative sentences. The introduction should offer a preview of the paper, its value, and be based upon the concepts studied in the course.
Discussion Content: This section should include the following three elements:
·  a brief examination of the issue, concept, or consequences of the actions taken,
·  an explanation of the concepts or theoretical applications that pertain to this topic,
It is required that you make use of appropriate headings to guide your reader.
Conclusion: This should be a summative paragraph which includes a restatement of the key points in your discussion.
References: A minimum of two references (not including your textbook) must be used to support your discussion. Document all sources according to APA style.
Your case analyses should meet the following formatting criteria: 
·  Be submitted in a Word doc format (.doc or .docx).
·  Be no less than 1000 words in length.
·  Be double spaced.
·  Use 10- or 12-point Arial or Times New Roman font.
·  Have 1-inch margins on the top, bottom, left side, and right side.

A quote from Sharon Begley, Seeing the Truth of Inequality: “We all want to believe that we’ve earned what we have, but true equality begins when we’re willing to see how the circumstances of our birth have helped us along”. (https://www.mindful.org/the-research-on-white-privilege-blindness/) Our society support “whiteness” as a norm, because that’s all America knows white, has always been superior to other races. Going into a store without being racially stereotyped is an example of how society illustrates white privilege. An article from Cory Collins, (2018) states that white privilege is both a legacy and a cause of racism. White privilege exists because of historic, enduring racism and biases. (https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/fall-2018/what-is-white-privilege-really) The way we can confront white privilege as a society is we must first stop saying that it don’t exsist because it do. Like Sharon Begley said our birth helped us along this stuck to me because some white people was born privlieged and was taught how to treat other races different and that the white race is superior over all. We have to see the truth in it all and I think that every race should be treated equally but we have a lot of work to do for that to happen. We still have police treating blacks different from whites when it comes to making an arrest. So many black people have been wrongfully killed by the hands of police.

Case study: creating an ethics case study | PHI208

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the required resources for the week, complete the Week 2 content in the PHI208: Ethics & Moral ReasoningLinks to an external site. interactive, watch the UtilitarianismLinks to an external site. video, and review the Reading PhilosophyLinks to an external site. video from the Week 1 discussion.
Overview
In this written assignment, you will create an ethics case study based on provided topics, resources, and ethical questions. Your tasks here are to present the case study and the information necessary to consider it. You will choose one of the ethical questions provided with the case study and discuss the central moral controversy the question addresses. You will also briefly apply utilitarianism to the case study. This written assignment should be an assignment and include the following sections and headings.
Part 1: Introduction, Case Study
In this section, you will create the case study. To complete this section,

Choose a case study from the selection provided by your instructor in the Week 2 announcement titled “Week 2 Case Studies.”
Present a brief introduction to the case study.
Discuss background information provided in one of the resources.

This section should be around 300 words.
Part 2: Ethical Question
In this section, discuss one of the ethical questions provided with the case study. To complete this section,

State the ethical question you have chosen to discuss and place it at the beginning of the section in bold font.
Discuss the ethical question by considering two or more of the following:

What is the central moral controversy at the heart of the ethical question?
What ethical or societal values are at stake in the question?
Who is impacted by the issue or moral controversy?
What might it say about us as individuals or society depending on how we answer the ethical question?

This section should be around 150 words.
Part 3: Position Statement
In this section, you will formulate a position statement that answers the ethical question, and then support the position statement. To complete this section,

Formulate a position statement that directly answers the ethical question. For example, if the ethical question is “Is it moral for public schools to use corporal punishment to discipline students?” Your position statement would be either “It is moral for schools to use corporal punishment.” or “It is not moral for schools to use corporal punishment.”
Discuss reasons that support your position statement. The reasons should be moral or value-based as opposed to statistical or other information-based reasons. For example, the use of corporal punishment in public schools is rare, but this is fact and not a moral reason; so it would not provide much support for the position statement.

This section should be around 150 words.
