Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction.

Alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction. Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.

Your reflection should address the following:

How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction

A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives

Examples of assessment tools used to measure and document ELL progress

Examples of at least two types of assessment data used to inform ELL instruction

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC.

 

Imagine that you own a company, Optimus, Inc., which is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%. You have studied the Electrobicycle project, and you believe that the auto company who has done the research and development (R&D) has made a crucial mistake. You believe that after the first 5 years, there will be worldwide expansion opportunities and many more years of revenues and earnings from selling Electrobicycles. Thus, you would not shut down the project in Year 5. Instead, you believe you will be able to sell the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 to a multinational company that will continue to produce the products and sell them internationally for many years into the future. You believe the sale of the Electrobicycle business in Year 5 will be for at least $15.0 million. Thus, you believe the value of the Electrobicycle project is significantly higher than the auto company realizes.

For the initial post,

Calculate Optimus’ required rate of return on equity using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). For the CAPM, use the following assumptions:

Use a risk-free rate of 4.0%.

Use 6.0% as the market risk premium.

For the beta, use the beta below, according to the first letter of your first name

First Letter of First Name Beta

A through B 0.30

C through D 0.40

E through F 0.50

G through H 0.60

I through J 0.70

K through L 0.80

M through N 0.90

O through P 1.00

Q through R 1.10

S through T 1.20

U through V 1.30

W through Z 1.40

Calculate the WACC for Optimus. As a reminder, Optimus is funded with 40% debt and 60% common stock; there is no preferred stock in the capital structure. The debt has an after-tax cost of 4%.

Use the Optimus required rate of return on equity that you calculated using the CAPM.

Explain why it is appropriate for Optimus to value the Electrobicycle project using its WACC. Compare using the WACC to using solely the cost of equity in valuing the Electrobicycle project.

What elements of diversity are you taking into consideration as you develop the plan? What social and/or political determinants of health should be considered?

THIS IS BASED OFF THE Omar case scenario & Exam & answering all the below questions!

In this paper, you must outline and discuss the major content phases of the planning process. You should utilize all relevant course material and display and reference theoretical foundations and models which have been learned in Social Work Theory and Methods and II. Clearly state in your paper how the Theories and models that are mentioned relate to your planning process.

As the foundation for the plan, use an assessment of the provided case study and make sure your assessment covers as many of the relevant items in the Social history as applicable and contains a narrative that pulls the items together and gives a view of the client (This was your exam). Your assessment will not be graded as part of the planning paper assignment, but it will assist you in developing a path towards a logical and effective planning paper.

When developing your plan, make sure you clearly consider and indicate in the planning paper the following:

Does your plan follow the SMART model; if so briefly explain how? (Specific Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)

What elements of diversity are you taking into consideration as you develop the plan?

What NASW values/ethics related to social work are relevant to this client?

What social and/or political determinants of health should be considered?

Is there any unresolved trauma?

What Economic factors might you have to consider in developing the plan?

Discuss how your plan will be implemented

Select at least one program/resource that relates to your client population that you can use as part of the intervention and as a resource in your plan; briefly explain the program and how to make contact with the resource: Ex: family with small children and economic needs: (SNAP or WIC program).

How will you evaluate if your plan is working? Make the evaluation substantial and not just a 1- 2 line statement. What evaluative tools will you use?

When will you terminate the case?

Cite the resources you use-APA style; cite books, articles, quotes and other Bibliographic information you utilize in your paper.

(As a guide, social work texts/journals use the APA style.)

The length of this paper should be 6-8 pgs. Cover page and reference page do not count towards total but must be included.

What does that say about the two cultures in which the languages are spoken? Have yo uencountered words that seem to be “missing” in another language?

Verbal Communications Discussion

How language shapes the way we think Lera Boroditsky Duration
Watch Video Using Chapter 5 from the textbook as a basis, answer ONE of the following questions and use AT LEAST 2 TERMS FROM THE TEXTBOOK in your initial post.

Make sure to CITE the textbook as a source.
• The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis says that our language shapes our reality. Reflect on ONE of the following questions:

O There are indigenous languages in North and South America that lack possessive and perosnal pronouns

Based on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, what does that tell us about the respective culture in which the language is spoken?

O If you speak more than one language, have you ever come across words that are difficult to translate into another language?

Have yo uencountered words that seem to be “missing” in another language?

What does that say about the two cultures in which the languages are spoken?

O In the English language, we have many more negative words to describe women than men, and many names for professions/jobs do not have a feminine form of the word at all.

Based on the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, what does that say about how English-speaking people think about women?

Does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia lead to an improvement in quality of care???

Here is my PICOT QUESTION: PICOT QUESTION
In adult patients with moderate to severe pain presenting to the ER, does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia improve quality of care based on indicators such as safety, timeliness of care, and patient satisfaction compared to no intervention at all?

P: Adult patients presenting to the ER with moderate to severe pain.

I: Implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia

C: Compared to no intervention at all

O: Does the implementation of Nurse-Initiated Analgesia lead to an improvement in quality of care???

chose this PICOT question as  experienced my workflow processes delayed during many occurrences due to lack of patient cooperation as a result of patient being in pain. Pain management in the ER is a huge concern that requires improvement. Pain management ultimately influences a patient’s satisfaction regarding provision of care. Pain management delays occur daily within the emergency department impacting quality of care. When a patient presents to the ER for pain, they typically wait an average of 3-4hours or more prior to receiving an analgesic. Patient reports of pain is subjective and each individual has their own level of pain tolerance. As a healthcare provider it is my duty to advocate for my patients. Nurse-initiated analgesia is a possible solution. Will permitting Nurse-initiated analgesia provide nurses Autonomy by means of either a medical directive or a standardized protocol, improve quality of care for patients based on indicators such as safety, timeliness of care, and patient satisfaction compared to no intervention at all?
