You are an HR specialist for a primary care facility. You have recently hired five new nurses to work at your facility. You have to develop a 30-minute employee orientation program for these new hires.

Prepare in not more than four pages an outline of the program in the attached template. Explain the content and activities you want to cover in the orientation and give rationale to justify their inclusion. Identify two HR management competencies needed to successfully complete the orientation.

1. Locate the website of a Fortune 1000 company of your choice. What statements about diversity are included? Is there a nondiscrimination policy? If so, which areas are included?

This discussion is an opportunity for you to evaluate how the purposeful integration of technology in instruction and assessment supports student acquisition of 21st-century skills and more importantly career and technical education (CTE). In the past few weeks, you have had the opportunity to consider the inclusion of technology in teaching and learning as well as the principles of UDL in practice. Now, we consider how UDL supports the acquisition of 21st-century skills as these relate to career and technical education. To prepare your response for this discussion, you will review Chapter 5 from the Edyburn text (2013), the 21st-century skills videos, and the ACTE website section on career and technical education and then evaluate them in relation to the principles of UDL. As always, reviewing the Instructor Guidance for the week is strongly encouraged for intellectual elaboration on the topics for the week and additional assistance for all assessments.

When contemplating 21st-century skills, associations must be made with respect to creativity, critical thinking, problem solving and metacognition and a host of relevant life skills. Keeping in mind your knowledge gained thus far on UDL and 21st century skills. You will review three sources to inform your initial response to the discussion including the ACTE website on Career and Technical Education (CTE), a short video by Inside Schools titled High School: What is Career and Technical Education?, and your own state’s Department of Education website or local school district website, specifically, information pertaining to Career and Technical Education (CTE).

Initial Post: Create an initial response that addresses the following areas.

1. Analyze in a paragraph Career and Technical Education (CTE) by giving a succinct summary of your understanding of this area of education.
2. Evaluate in a paragraph how the principles of UDL support career and technical education.
3. Summarize in a paragraph the relationship between the goals of CTE, learner motivation, and acquisition of 21st-century skills.
4. Describe in a paragraph, or by using a table or some other visual, what you learned by reviewing your

Scenario: You and your group are the Associate Directors of Communication at your company (the one you created for your contract).  Your supervisor, the Vice President of Communication, Joseph Matador, would like to update the communication tactics of your company.  He has asked you to analyze three different communications from a different company in the hopes of learning new techniques from that company.

 

Assignment: For the Communication Analysis assignment, you will select a company that is similar to the one your group has created (determine what type of business you and your group would like to run/own and then choose a company similar to that) and analyze three different communications that company has created.  For example, if you and your group are a clothing company that sells casual, classic and simple clothing for men and women, you may want to research a store like The Gap.

 

You must consider the three major modes of communication: written, oral, and visual.  At least one of these communications must be oral, at least one must be visual, and at least one must be written.  Remember that these categories can overlap (for example, a commercial is both visual and oral).

 

You may want to consider the following types of communication (this is not an exhaustive list):

 

• Advertisements
• Billboards
• Blogs
• Brochures
• Commercials
• Presentations
• Press Releases
• Product Placement
• Reports
• Websites

 

 

Remember that your communication analysis should focus on one company only.  For example, if I selected Apple, I could analyze an iPod commercial, a presentation by Steve Jobs, and Apple’s website.

 

Questions to Consider:

When analyzing each communication, ask yourself the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of the communication?
2. Who is the audience of the communication?  Does the communication address the audience appropriately?
3. Is the design of the communication effective?  (This incorporates a great deal of information.  It can range from the color scheme of a website to the appropriateness of a speaker’s outfit.  Consider all visual elements of the communication, even if it is primarily written or oral.)
4. If the communication has written elements, is it written well?
5. If the communication has oral elements, is it delivered effectively?
6. Is the communication persuasive?  In other words, do you find yourself agreeing with the author?  Does the author use ethos, pathos, and logos?  Does he/she/it make reasonable claims?
7. Is the communication effective?  Consider the previous six questions.  Does the communication succeed at its goal(s)?
8. What techniques of the communication could you adapt for your own purposes?

Discuss how technology has changed the work place.

Discuss the current status of Schizophrenia through research and findings in the area of biopsychology. Support the paper with appropriate illustrations and graphics to assist the reader in better understanding neurological changes related to Schizophrenia. Include the following sections: • An introduction and explanation of your topic • An overview of the current research as it relates to your topic area • Explain treatments currently in use • Ethical considerations in researching this topic, including considerations of gender and diversity issues • A summary including your own ideas about the future directions that research in this area will take and how these findings may be applied to better the human condition.

This week, you will produce an introductory paragraph with your thesis statement and an annotated bibliography for the Final Research Paper.

Thesis Statement:  Generating a thesis statement is perhaps the most important part of the research paper process. It is essential for you to craft a strong, defendable thesis statement upon which you will base further research. Include your thesis statement within an introductory paragraph.

Annotated Bibliography:  The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills including critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. The annotated bibliography should include the following information for each source:

• Name of the article, including the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format.
• Summary/abstract of the article – annotation (sometimes it is helpful to ask yourself the following questions in synthesizing the information):
  • Who? (author)
  • What was done? (e.g., an experimental study investigating the interaction of short term memory and attention)
  • How? (was it done)
  • What were the findings? (identify the major ones)
  • Contributions? (new findings, applications, etc.)

 

 

The Final Research Paper is a research study addressing a country mentioned in the course.  The Final Research Paper provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate the understanding of how cultures and politics affect one another, and ultimately affect social change.
