Developmentally Appropriate Assessment Practices 
                     Now that I know how to observe and implement my primary tool of observation for the young children such as the usage of my Daily Log, then how do you think I would go about making sure the implementation appropriately matches the developmental needs and interests of the young children I will soon be assisting? Well, according to NAEYCs (2009)guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices, The job of an educator has five connected components including: 1. Creating a community of learners, 2. Teaching to enhance learning and development, 3. Planning curriculum to achieve important goals, 4. Assessing childrens learning and development, and 5. Establishing reciprocal relationships with the childrens families. (1) In addition, according to the author, Candace Jaruszewicz (2013) in the text, Curriculum and Methods for Early Childhood Educators, The primary goal of a developmentally appropriate approach toward assessment is to inform my practices in my future assistant classroom, so that the curriculum I implement matches the developmental needs and interests of the children in my care. In fact, assessment of my young students and my program also provides practical information and evidence to guide my decisions regarding the implementation. (12.1)                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Now in order to implement the first of the appropriate practices, 1. Creating a community of learners, in which I am for. The first reason for this is because, I do agree that parents should be in fact more involved with their young childs education. Parents and young children should also collaborate on what is the most effective curriculum method for their young students.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             In order to implement the second appropriate guideline in my assistant classroom, 2. Teaching to enhance learning and development; it is crucial to know the five key elements for developing crucial teaching skills in order to know according to Jaruszewicz (2013) in the text, How young children learn and the role of those whom participate in the education of young children, the content of the curriculum and how to implement the curriculum effectively. Teachers also need to learn patients because children will remember you as someone playing an important role in their lives. (12.6)                                                                                                                                                                                                                         To implement the third appropriate guideline, 3. Planning curriculum to achieve important goals which I agree with, is crucial to know, according to Jaruszewicz (2013) Planning for curriculum should be informed by insights about how the curriculum is experienced by children because the curriculum is at the core of the reflection of my teaching. (12.6) Also, in addition to planning the curriculum, adaptation of the curriculum is also critical because, according to Jaruszewicz (2013) As us assistant teachers and educators alike compose our assessment data, we then make decisions about how to alter the curriculum and choose materials and strategies used for instruction to meet the needs and interest of the young children. (12.3)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  For the fourth appropriate guideline, 4. Assessing childrens learning and development, we as educators may need to understand that you cannot according to Jaruszewicz (2013) expect to go fourth with a successful curriculum without assessing it first because it is in fact crucial for optimal instruction. (20) To define, Assessment is, according to Rencken (1996) in the article, Observation: The Primary Tool in Assessment, the process of observing, recording, analyzing and documenting the work children do and how they do it regarding their current goals and learning processes. (10)                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The fifth and final appropriate guideline, Establishing reciprocal relationships with families, should be implemented as, open and frequent communication with the young students families because I believe childrens overall success in their primary school years depends upon frequent communication and positive feedback between the young childs teacher and parents.

Sociological application | Social Science homework help

Overview
One of the most important things we can do in this course is distinguish between the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness and strictly clinical or medical viewpoints toward health and illness. For example, it is crucial that we understand how sociology incorporates issues of race, class, gender, language, and so forth into the analysis of health and illness outcomes in society. The purpose of this assignment is for us to examine the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness, and utilize major concepts from our reading material to support this response.
 
Instructions
Construct a 4-6 page paper that fully explores each of these three areas:

Identify and describe a current and major health issue that is a leading cause of mortality in the U.S. or overseas.
Explain the medical viewpoint of this health issue. 
Explain the sociological viewpoint of this health issue.
Use two peer-reviewed sources (none that are provided in class) to support your explanation of how the sociological viewpoint applies to this health issue.
Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses that each approach in resolving this health issue, or reducing mortality.

The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf.  Use APA format for citations and references.

Definition of Ego & the Wives of Bath Discussion

Humans having an identity crisis … again01. .025 points, At least 25 words Read Part 1 of The Wives of Bath (1993) by Susan Swan here and just figure out which you think is more disruptive to the development of a human’s ego – being adopted or being sent to boarding school? In order to to get credit for your answer you need to choose one of these options over the other and explain and defend your choice by referencing one of the adoption stories listed below and then comparing and contrasting it to one of the characters from The Wives of Bath (1993), also listed below. Here is a quick link back to the assignment where I first introduced Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939) theoretical ideas about the ego. Oh! Also, before you start reading Part 1 of the Wives of Bath (1993) make sure you read through the rest of the questions on this assignment so you know what else to look for in the reading. It will make this assignment go much, much faster. There is an okay summary of the novel on Wikipedia here Links to an external site., but you really should read it 😉 Trust me! It is so good! You will be glad you read it! When I teach this class live, face to face, I use the film version of this book and typically everyone goes crazy for it. But I can’t assign the film for this remote section of the course because it is really hard to track down, plus, the book is, ultimately, better for learning Freudian and Jungian theory, which is what we are using it for.Adoption storiesThe Wives of Bath (1993) characters02. .025 points, At least 25 words Do you trust Mouse as a narrator? That is, do you trust her descriptions of the things that happened to her at Bath’s Ladies College, particularly her relationship with Paulie and Tory? Formulate, defend and explain your answer with specific reference to Part 1 of The Wives of Bath (1993) by Susan Swan, archived here. The only other time you have had a first person narrator for some source material in this course was when I assigned you Jenny Boylan’s writing on A04, see Q04. Jenny would be, roughly, the same generation as Mouse, by the way ;)03. .025 points, At least 25 words Make the argument that the character of Paulie, at least how she is depicted in Part 1 of The Wives of Bath (1993), has a stronger ego than Mouse or Tory.

And defend and explain your argument by showing that you understand the social structure and culture of Bath Ladies College as Mouse describes it.Gender … again05. .025 points, At least 25 words Do you think one of the reasons it was easy for Paulie to create the persona of Lewis was because she was living in all female environment, i.e., a girl’s school?

I.e., Why the creation of “Lewis?” Who is Lewis for? Paulie? Victoria?

I first introduced the “Electra complex” on A05, but here Links to an external site.is a quick Wikipedia link to it. You can screenshot the passage from Swan or just copy it, it doesn’t matter. Just be sure to explain how the passage can be used to describe and explain the Electra complex.10. .025 points, A passage and an at least 25 word explanation Find a passage from Part 1 of The Wives of Bath (1993) by Susan Swan, archived here, to make the argument that President Kennedy was a father figure for Mouse.

Make the argument that both Mikael [from the narrative fiction Tomboy (2011), first assigned on A04 and A05], as well as Paulie Sykes [from the narrative fiction The Wives of Bath (1993)], regard the human body as being an important part of their respective gender identities. Be sure to explain and defend your response with specific reference to both fictive texts, Tomboy (2011) and The Wives of Bath (1993).15. .025 points, At least 10 words, Note the point value and word count change Does Mouse think Paulie’s violent actions towards Sergeant are an indication that Paulie is psychologically unstable?

Barrie18. .05 points, At least 20 words, Note the point value and word count change The Wives of Bath (1993) by Susan Swan is rooted in Geoffrey Chaucher’s Canterbury Tales (c. 1400), specifically “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale.” If you want to get a sense of “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale” you can read it here Links to an external site., but you don’t have to. I, personally, don’t love Chaucher, but if you are curious about why someone like Swan would use it as a literary reference for a novel about young women and gender identity in late 20th century Canada, this Links to an external site.very brief 1994 essay by Jonathon Blake is kind of interesting. But again, you don’t have to read it. Now, you do need to pay attention to this next piece of information: In the movie version of The Wives of Bath (1993), a film called Lost and Delirious (2001), the Chaucher references are replaced with ones from J.M. Barrie, the guy who wrote Peter Pan (1911). See below. Seriously, isn’t the casting perfect in this film? I love the actresses they chose to play Mouse, Paulie and Tory. I also love a good Peter Pan reference since as literary figures go, he is key to the field of social psychology, as you will soon learn over the next couple of assignments 😉 Anyways, what do you know about Peter Pan. Did you ever see the play or the animated Disney version that came out in 1953? Do you know that the pop singer Michael Jackson (1958-2009) literally altered his face to look like the Disney animated version of Peter? Write up as much as you know or don’t know and post it to this discussion board using at least 10 words, respond to at least one other posting and then as your answer to this question, just let me know you did all that 🙂 And get ready for A07 and one of the most popular pop social psychological concepts of the late 20th century, the “Peter Pan” complex. Oh. Wow. Did you notice that rumbling? That was Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung rolling in their respective graves.

You are the first physical education teacher to be hired and have little or no equipment. You need to consider the following things as you prepare your budget:K-6 with 300 students or 6-8 with 400 students or 9-12 with 350 students2. The average size is 25 students per class3. You have $50,000 budgeted for your total physical education program4. in your gym you will have four permanent basketball backboards, rims and netsGive an outline of the basic units you plan to teach based on your programmatic philosophy. Some of the activities will cut across all grades and others will be grade specific. Identify those activities that are “universal” and those that are grade specific.Construct the actual budget. In this part you not only need to list the amount and cost of each item, but you also need to provide a rationale for the equipment you are buying and how the purchases reflect your program philosophy.Be very specific about the names of the items and cost per item. Keep a running total of your purchases so that you do not over or under spend your budget. If you choose to make some equipment, like balance beams, scoop cups, etc. you need to figure the cost of the building materials. We will assume that some of these things will be built by the school shop class so you won’t have to figure labor costs. Be sure to indicate those items that are homemade.Use an appropriate typed spreadsheet to present your budget requests. Make sure that rationale for each purchase is connected with your purchase.B. Develop a Program within one of the following categories: Parks & Recreation Department, Sport within an Athletic Department; Fitness Facility, or Weight-training and Conditioning Program, etc.). Research what such a program would typically have as budget categories, and develop a budget proposal for the fiscal year using a zero-based budget. The total budget is unlimited, but must be justified like in the example I gave you in the excel spreadsheet. Be very specific about the names of the items and cost per item. Athletics and Athletic training: Keep a running total of your purchases so that you do not over or under spend your budget. Identify what dates the fiscal year will span as well. Keep in mind the athletic department you are working within is a high school athletic department. Also, make sure you include all possible forms of income available to your program like booster clubs, concessions, tournaments, etc. Look at the Final budget pdf included in the assignment to help you find what the budget was for the area you choose to help you have an idea of what the budget was in an average large high school in 2014. It should also help you as you develop costs and revenues.Other areas: Use the university of Florida Recreational sports budget to help you develop your budget. You do not have to include building costs, maintenance etc., but you do need to include salaries, taxes etc. Once again make sure you are looking at costs and revenues and that you fully develop what type of facility you are the larger the facility type you are budgeting for, the larger the budget will have to be. Make sure you are specific and follow the zero based budget format.The ObjectDevelop a budget program outline with appropriate classifications for expenses. The Program Budget outline should be as comprehensive as possible for the selected program.Classifications may include the following, but will surely vary by preference and type of program chosen.Human ResourcesSalariesWagesPayroll Taxes, Retirement Contributions, Professional Dues and MembershipsHealth ServicesEmployee InsuranceInsuranceLiabilityFacilitiesTelephones, Internet, Electricity, WaterMaintenanceSuppliesEquipmentTransportation Part of the evaluation of this project will be how well your purchases reflect your program philosophy.Include a reference page which includes the name and address of the company/s from which you wish to purchase equipment
