Personal educational philosophy on learning
A. Create a personal educational philosophy on learning (suggested length of 1–2 pages) in which you do the following:
1. Select a learning theory that you identify with from one of the following categories:
• intelligence
• behaviorist
• cognitivist
• humanistic/motivation
• constructivist
2. Explain how the selected theory aligns with your current view of teaching.
3. Describe how the selected theory would help you understand developmentally appropriate student needs in the classroom at two different grade levels (e.g., 7th grade and 12th grade, 1st grade and 5th grade).
4. Describe how the selected theory could be used to address two learning barriers within one of the four developmental domains (i.e., physical, cognitive, social-emotional, language) that students commonly experience in the classroom.
5. Describe how using the selected theory would help you meet the learning needs of one diverse population of students (e.g., based on ethnicity, culture, ability, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, learning styles, or interests) that might be present in a classroom, including one specific example to support your description.
B. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

Limitations or ethical issues
propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human-subject research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human-subject research requires written approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects.”
Prompt
Submit a draft of your discussion section. There are several important objectives that need to be accomplished in the discussion:
• Address the original question—were the results congruent with what was expected (hypothesis) and what was found (results)?
o If hypothesis was supported, state why and how.
o If the hypothesis was not supported, state why. For example, discuss potential sources of research error. (Apply the same critique methods used in the literature review.)
• Relate your research findings to existing research that was cited in your literature review.
• State how your research can be applied, extended, and/or improved.
The following critical elements in the Final Project Rubric are related to this milestone:
IV. Discussion: For the last section of your research report, you will write a discussion section, which describes your interpretation of the results and speaks to how future researchers can expound on your work. This section should contain the following elements, which will demonstrate your ability to detail the process of conducting research and to appropriately convey your results:
A. Interpret your results
B. Discuss any limitations or ethical issues
Evaluation of the Agency’s Budgeting and Cumulative Rep
As a consultant, you need to develop an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the selected agency’s budgeting parameters and then provide recommendations for improvement based on your research of related academic sources and websites. The analysis will be read by the VP of Public Service and client support, as well as by the leaders of the agency for whom you are working.

Determine which intergovernmental agencies contribute to or influence the budgetary decisions for the current and future budget over the next five years.
Based on your agency selection, analyze the impact of either international or domestic policymaking on the current year’s budgets and its possible impact on future budget line items.
Examples of domestic policy impact could include neighboring localities or states providing assistance to other agencies.
Recommend two strategies the agency could use to improve the budget for the next fiscal year. Recommendations should be detailed and focused.
Use at least two quality sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. Include no more than one nongovernment website.
For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
Survey of customers to determine how satisfied they are with the work performed.
Terry Downes owns a commercial cleaning company. He has conducted a survey of customers to determine how satisfied they are with the work performed.
He devised a 100-point rating scale – with 0 being poor and 100 being excellent service, selected a random sample of 14 customers, and asked them to rate
the service. He also recorded the number of worker hours spent in the customer’s facility. These are in the file named Downes Download Downes.
Use Excel to complete the following:
Develop a scatter plot showing the variables, rate of service and worker hours, with the y variable on the vertical axis and the x variable on the horizontal axis,
and indicating the type of relationship.
Develop a linear regression model to explain the variation in the service rating.
Use Word to complete the following:
Describe the model, showing the results of the pertinent hypothesis tests, using a significance level of 0.10.
