Any topic (writer’s choice)

For this discussion post, I want us to explore different tools we may use and why. Using either a past project or one you have researched for this course, identify at least one quantitative tool and one qualitative performance evaluation tool and provide the following information as it relates to your project (case study) in this course:

Brief explanation of the tool
Why you selected each tool
When you would use them during the project
What information you think they would yield and why this is important
Any limitations of the tools
How they might work together, if applicable
Just as a note, here are a few classifications by qualitative and quantitative to help you out a bit:

Qualitative Tools (Benchmarking, Causal analysis, Root cause analysis, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, MBWA)
Quantitative (Regression analysis, Reserve analysis, Trend analysis, Earned Value, Variance Analysis, Benchmarking, FMEA)
Some are listed in both lists, as they can be either depending on the type of data used. There are other tools that you may use currently or believe will be beneficial so please feel free to explore others in your research.

Discussion

Writing Exercise

Theme: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

You are a practicing pharmacist. One day F.C., an apparently healthy 42-year-old man came to you to get advice. He was watching some health-related documentary film recently and has become concerned about his health. He has not seen his family physician for years. He says that he is too busy with his work to go for a routine physical since he does not have any complaints. He does not know what is blood cholesterol level is. He works as a telemarketer and his wife works as a receptionist. They have a 13-year-old boy who goes to public school. F.C. mentions that he is concerned since his father died suddenly when he was 10 years old. He only remembers that his father died of heart disease. His paternal uncle also died of a heart attack in his early fifties. F.C. is not overweight but he and his family eat food from fast food shops and nearby diners almost every day. At night their regular food includes sausage, meatball, baked potato, bread with butter, etc. He also smokes half a pack of cigarettes each day.

Question: What measures should F.C. take with regards to lifestyle patterns to combat his health-related concern? Write your answer 1-2 page.

CCM Plan assignments outline by Week 1

Week 1: In Week 1, you will complete a short essay related to group norms for effectively communicating and managing conflict within a group. This is an individual assignment and you will share the results of this assignment with your group later in Week 2. (individual assignment)

The essay will include communication and conflict management rules/guidelines that would be useful in guiding a team project and team communications over this semester or during the planning and execution of a project in an organization. These contributions will serve as the basis for your team in preparing a draft GCCM Plan in Week 2. The primary basis for grading is effort and thoughtfulness because we have not yet covered the elements of team communication, communication planning, and conflict management. Think about what would be useful to your team for working together effectively this semester, and draft some team expectations and rules for managing group communications, team assignments, and managing group conflict. An in-depth search of scholarly material is not needed to complete this assignment; however, you may conduct a quick search of scholarly materials in the online library of academic/professional journals to support your position, but you will also cite assigned readings from Week 1.

This individual contribution is to be no more than 2 pages in length, formatted in APA (title page and References page not included in the page length), and uploaded as an individual assignment in your Assignment Folder for grading.

Benchmark-Student Engagement and Classroom Management

Building the community for your classroom and your students will give you the opportunity to engage your students and their families. Communicating your procedures, routines, and expectations creates transparency with all stakeholders.

In the previous weeks, you completed assignments to develop knowledge and skills for effective classroom management. These assignments will inform this benchmark assignment.

Create a “Student Engagement and Classroom Management Plan” for a specific grade-level and content area that includes the following:

In 250-500 words, write a personal philosophy of student engagement and classroom management (adapted from your Topic 1 assignment) that includes:

A description of your overall classroom management philosophy aligned to personal beliefs you hold that support it.
An overview of how you will manage your learning environment in order to engage students.
How you will collaborate with students, families, and colleagues to build a safe, positive learning climate of openness, mutual respect, support, and inquiry.
How you will take a leadership role advocating for meeting the needs of students, and enacting system change.
Write a one-page letter to send to families at the beginning of the school year introducing yourself and explaining your classroom management plan and how you will maintain ongoing communication with students and families to build positive school-home relationships.

In 250-500 words, describe how you will actively and equitably engage students by establishing procedures, routines, and expectations. Include 4-5 specific procedures, routines, or expectations you will implement in the classroom. (These procedures or routines may be revised from previous assignments, or they may be new.)

Write a 100-250 word description of three strategies you plan to utilize in your future classroom that will address limiting and mitigating the effects of disruptive and off-task behaviors in the classroom, including rewards and consequences.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
