ELAD542 M2 DISC Applying the ISLLC Standards and the 11 Top Ten Most Wanted Strategies for school culture by Sorenson & Goldsmith, to transform the Earl Roloff Elementary School, in Combes Public School System, into a model school using a $150,000 grant will be a worthwhile challenge! When the new superintendent demonstrated a collaborative leadership style by forming a Principal interview team that included both veteran and new teachers to choose the new principal, it well-received; therefore, as the new principal, following through with a similar collaborative style would likely be successful. In my perspective, the principal needs to develop a strategic plan that creates a shared vision and goals with a variety of stakeholders, provides professional development for the staff to achieve those goals, and reaches into the community to develop partnerships and positive relationships.…
Discussion Board (Module 6 DB 5-3): Change Article Britton Lerch University of Iowa NURS 5002: Leadership and Management Essentials Dr. Bogue I like the article I chose by Varkey and Antonio (2010) because it talks about the importance of quality improvement processes necessary for organizations due to the advances in technology and medicine. In this article Varkey and Antonia (2010) begin with stating, “Technological and medical advancements have dramatically accelerated the speed of change in the realm of health care. New technology, the changing needs of patients, and economic pressures all contribute to the need for health organizations to modify practices continually” (p. 268). It is for these reasons that we anticipate and should embrace…
There were two positive and promising practices identified during the review, which will support the State’s implementation of WIOA in general, and the performance-related requirements of WIOA in particular. Positive Practice #1: The due diligence of State staff relative to implementing the changes required as a result of the 2009 comprehensive review is to be commended. The record review results for WIA and TAA yielded the fewest discrepancies ever experienced by the review team (i.e., four discrepancies in fifty records) and are demonstrative of the level of commitment and due diligence of State staff. Positive Practice #2: The utilization of data validation results to improve data integrity and inform program management is also…
• Identifying and classifying job descriptions-defining a vacant position needed to be filled and describing the content and purpose of the position. Classifying positions allows employers to target diverse candidates in an effective form. • Assessment of minimum qualifications requirements- evaluating individuals experiences and comparing and contrasting their previous working experiences to the vacant position. These are essential credentials needed to be considered for the position. For example, if a college student is applying for federal jobs, he/she must meet the minimum qualifications to be selected for a possible interview and career.…
Standards of Learning Testing, or SOL Testing, is used in the state of Virginia to measure whether or not a student meets the minimum requirement for what they should know in core subjects in school like Math, Science, History, and English. These tests are not accurate because it does not measure the amount of knowledge that a student has on a particular subject but the amount of the material the students can apply on test day. Students begin taking SOL’s in the third grade and over the course of their school career they may take approximately 34 different tests that are required for a student to pass by meeting the minimum passing score. Children start taking SOLs in the third grade and review four years worth of core subject material and…
This is a practical test to conduct because there is minimal equipment required, minimal set up required, a large group can be tested at the same time, and you are able to complete the test on your own. 4.…
Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-III (WIAT-III) • The WIAT-III can be a paper and pencil test or online administered. • This is a formal test because it is a nationally standardized comprehension test that is individually administered for evaluating the achievement of individuals ages 4 through 50. • This test provides norm and criterion referenced information. The norm is based on age and/or grade level, but the criterion reference comes from the fixed set of predetermined learning standards established for the students.…
Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare, progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss. FTD describes a range of diseases that often start with changes in behavior, speech, and decision-making processes. As FTD progresses, it affects short-term memory. Over time, FTD causes the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain to shrink. These are the parts of the brain that control behavior and speech.…
Review recent standardized test performance data for a given grade level or subject in your practicum school, and choose an area in need of improvement. Evaluate the data from that area by doing the following: Based on the Pennsylvania Department of Education Keystone Assessment re-sults, our school needs to make improvements in the assessment areas of high school level Al-gebra I, high school level Biology and English III. This competency assessment will focus on English III. Of the seventy-six students that have participated at least once in the Keystone Assessment for high school English, sixty-six percent of the students scored below basic, thirty-two percent of the students scored basic, and three percent of the students scored proficient.…

Question 1 (2 pts): What is the difference between “Test”, “Evaluation”, MOE’s and MOP’s? What is the relationship between MOE’s and MOP’s and what role do they play in the T&E process? “Test,” “evaluation,” “MOE,” and “MOP” are all terms used to define the test and evaluation (T&E) process that is used to determine the operational effectiveness and operational suitability of a solution to a need (or gap) through the measurement of defined parameters that effectively determine that effectiveness through consolidation of the determination of effectiveness of individual and separable functional and technical requirements of the solution. Test is defined as a “program or procedure that is designed to obtain, verify, or provide data for the evaluation of any of the following: (1) progress in accomplishing developmental objectives; (2) the…
When the test designer creates these forms of testing, they have specific theories on ways the test taker will behave under certain conditions. If the test taker behaves according to the theory, then the test can be thought to show construct validity. The PF model, according to Bornstein (2011), states that validity is conceptualized by the rate at which the test taker reacts, as predicted, to a given variable (p. 536). The test administrator has the ability to manipulate certain variables to determine whether these manipulations are the reasoning for the predicted behaviors and can identify and manipulate extraneous variables as well to predict the behaviors that will or will not occur, which in the case of traditional methods, would be deemed challenging or inappropriate measures.…
In today’s ever-competitive healthcare market, patient safety, and quality of care is one of the top factors of an organizations survival. Quality improvement (QI) and safety have become a major component of our larger healthcare organization, because they value our patients, employees, and families, but why are we not following in their footsteps? A particular new idea that would be useful in a smaller unit is an action board, which allows anyone to write down a particular quality or safety problem (Steelman, 2014). In addition, the use of Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR), which can assist with identifying the problem, examining evidence, and determining if a solution will be applied in order to improve communication handoff (Eberhardt, 2014). Both of these solutions are cost effective, and would not take very much training to implement on the units and throughout the organization.…
Coles is the second-biggest market chain in Australia. Not at all like the United States, we don't have that numerous store chains. The business sector is overwhelmed by Woolworths and Coles, which implies we don't have numerous options with regards to minimal effort shopping for food. Our worry with Coles is not simply strangely high costs for essential basic supplies (in the event that you contrast and costs in the US), additionally the high rate of stock-outs.…
