Consider what was happening in nursing in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the change from diploma programs to an associate degree program. Martha Rogers believed that nursing is a separate and essential discipline and a unique field of study. She worked hard to establish nursing in higher education. Explain the importance of this shift and how it impacted nursing as a profession.

This module presents theories that view persons (families, groups, communities) as integrated wholes or integrated systems interacting with the larger environmental system. The health or well-being of the person is influenced by environmental factors. The theories and theorists discussed in this module are Imogene King (Theory of Goal Attainment) and Martha Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Beings.

Describe how you will differentiate reading experiences for students based upon their reading ability and individual interests.

The ability to establish clear expectations for students and families and create an environment that encourages ongoing collaboration and dialogue between the teacher, students, and families is an important skill for reading teachers. Families typically want to know what their students are reading, why specific reading selections have been made, and how to ask questions and express concerns they may have about what their child is reading. It is also important that students feel energized and excited about engaging in reading activities.
Imagine you are teaching students in the 4-8 grade range and your principal has asked you to prepare back-to-school reading orientation materials for families. Create the materials in the brochure format (300-400 words).
The back-to-school information should include the following:

Definition of children’s literature and explanation of why it is valuable in education. Include discussion of the specific reading skills students will learn and practice and how these align to learning standards.
Research commonly read books for Grades 4-8 and create a list of five books you plan to read with students during the school year. Include an explanation of how and why the books were selected and how the books support state standards and the content taught in other curricular areas.
Describe how you will differentiate reading experiences for students based upon their reading ability and individual interests. Include discussion of how you will direct students in selecting books that are appropriate for them as individuals and will help them grow as readers and further develop their reading skills.
Discuss censorship and inform families that some literature may present content that could create questions or be concerning to them. Explain the research-based evidence and rationale for exposing students to a variety of texts and topics, even those that might be considered controversial.
Provide tips for families to help their children succeed in reading and in the classroom. Outline the communication steps families should take if they want to express concerns about and discuss classroom literature selections.

Support your orientation materials with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Discuss the effect that prenatal development and care and early childhood experiences can have on adolescent social and emotional development. Select three developmental stages (prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, or adolescence) and provide specific social/emotional milestones for each of the selected stages.

 Educators are in a unique position to, directly and indirectly, influence children’s development. By being informed and having access to current information and resources, educators can empower themselves and their students to be intentional about social and emotional learning and development. Teachers also have a unique opportunity to encourage families to be mindful of how to support social and emotional development at home.

Do you agree or disagree that correctional institutions are obligated to rehabilitate prisoners who have the opportunity to be released?

“We can make prisons better but we cannot make them work,” said Peter Moskos, author of Cop in the Hood. “Prisons will always fail at their goal of reducing crime because rehabilitation, if it stands any chance of success, must be separated from incarceration” (Page, 2011).
Take a position. Do you agree or disagree that correctional institutions are obligated to rehabilitate prisoners who have the opportunity to be released?
First, title your initial post either “Correctional institutions are obligated to rehabilitate prisoners who have the opportunity to be released,” or “Correctional institutions are not obligated to rehabilitate prisoners who have the opportunity to be released.”
Then, using the information gained in this course and the resources noted above, make your case. Be sure to build your case with factual resources. Consider the following questions as you make your case:

Has the purpose of correctional institutions changed over time? If so, in what ways?
What is the primary purpose of correctional institutions today?
What determines whether or not a correctional institution is “successful”? Consider some of the more recent alternatives to traditional prisons.
Which alternatives do you believe will be most successful in rehabilitating prisoners and reducing recidivism? Why?

In response to your peers, consider how well they justified their positions, making use of available resources. Consider the following questions in your response posts:

Did they support their positions convincingly with appropriate resources?
Which of their points make the most sense to you, even if you made a case for the opposing viewpoint?

Authentic assessments situate learners where they will use the knowledge and skills you teach. While it is true that there is a high amount of fact-level material students need to acquire to meet standards, using formative strategies for lesson planning and assessment helps learners grasp the “why” behind your instruction. Meeting students where they are offers tremendous insight into their understanding and needs to meet challenges. Discuss : What are some ways to assess learning? How might a student work sample provide valuable information on student learning? How might you use information from student work samples to respond to individual learning needs? What insight might you gain from cultural and learning abilities by reviewing work samples?
