A friend or family member had an idea for a business
Imagine a friend or family member had an idea for a business and asked you for guidance based on the knowledge and skills you acquired through your MBA program. Perhaps they simply wanted to take you to lunch one day to inquire about your thoughts, or they might have wanted you to participate in the business in either an employer-to-employee or a partnership relationship. In either scenario, how much more confidence would you have in their idea if they could easily answer questions about the industry, competition, target customers, and so on? If they did not know where to begin when answering these questions, you might point them toward the validation tools that are covered this week. It is probably safe to say that you would not be as willing to get involved. This week, you will consider a scenario from your experience and explore how validation tools could have played a role in that scenario.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Consider a scenario from your personal or professional experience in which the outcome of the scenario could have been vastly improved if strategic planning tools had been incorporated in some fashion.
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider which of the validation tools (i.e., strategy map, PEST analysis, five forces analysis, key success factor analysis, stakeholder analysis) would be the best choice to implement in your scenario to achieve a better outcome.
Post a synthesis of the results of a validation tools analysis related to a personal or professional experience, to include the following: (150 words or more)
• Describe a scenario from your personal or professional experience that could have been improved using strategic planning.
• Propose which validation tool would support the best results if it were applied to the scenario. Provide a rationale, including specific details.

Society for Human Resource Management
Prior to completing this discussion, be sure to read Chapter 3 in Brown and Green (2020), Kaufman and Guerra-López (2015), and Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) (2020). This discussion is an opportunity to practice assessing instructional needs, which is the first step in any instructional design process. Remember that the organization, problem, and audience you identify this week become the basis for the remaining assignments, several discussions, and your final paper in this course. Please review the Week 3 Instructor Guidance page and the Discussion Grading Rubric before participating.
Initial Post: Imagine you are an instructional designer working for a financial, insurance, health care, or government contractor company. Next, imagine that the organization has a problem that can be addressed through training. Compose an initial reply that addresses the components listed below. Use APA in this response for citations and headings for each of the components listed below and the references page:
• Industry and Problem: State which industry (finance, insurance, health care, government) you are working for and give the organization a fictitious name. In the same section, describe a problem or need to be addressed and why. This problem may be one that you have personally experienced, or it could be one that you create for the purpose of this discussion.
• Impact and Stakeholders: Identify the key stakeholders involved in implementing the change and describe the impact the change is expected to have for each stakeholder group.
• Rationale for Instructional Intervention: Explain why instruction is the best approach to addressing the problem or need. Be sure to explain the consequences of not addressing the problem or need. Support the justification using scholarly or otherwise credible resources. You may the Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Crediable Source tip sheetLinks to an external site. to assist you with this component.
Critical Thinking Guidance: To help meet the critical thinking requirement, your post should do at least one of the following:
• analyze or evaluate information,
• make connections to other concepts in the class,
• provide examples that support your thoughts and viewpoints,
• share personal experiences relevant to the post,
• cite sources that support what you are stating in your post, or
• offer alternative viewpoints
US History
● First, read US History, Chapter 22. (Perhaps make some notes about American imperialism.)
● Second, go to AMERICAN HISTORY TELLERS or wherever you get podcasts (Apple podcasts, Spotify, etc.) to listen to the first episode on the Philippine insurrection (“Philippine-American War: Into the Jaws of the Dragon”), and you get even more extra credit for reporting on episode 2 (and even 3) Here are some helpful links: https://airship.fm/philippine-american-war-into-the-jaws-of-a-dragon-1/ Another link option is here: https://www.audacy.com/podcasts/american-history-tellers-22998/philippine-american-war-into-the-jaws-of-a-dragon-1-1019839020 Listen to the entire podcast, and take some notes to make writing your post easy.
● Third, create an original discussion post in which you share key history

Nitrogen fixation is a biological activity when nitrogen gas
Nitrogen fixation is a biological activity when nitrogen gas is the only nitrogen source present in
the environment. Write a half-reaction equation that represents the synthesis of cellular
material (represented by the chemical formula C5H7O2N) when nitrogen gas is used as the
nitrogen source.
Design Impact
In this module we have spent time exploring standards and different instructional models from chapters 3-7 of your Estes & Mintz (2016) text. For this assignment I would like you to create an essay that includes the following (use bold terms at beginning of each bullet as headings in your paper):
Your paper is expected to be 3 ½ pages double line. It should be well written and organized, include a reference from the text and videos (no outside resources) list when appropriate (in APA format), using proper sentence structure and spellchecked.
• Instructional Models – Examines and defines all 5 models in your own words, as presented in chapters 3-7 from Estes & Mintz (2016).
o You are not to use an outside text. Your work must reflect the work of Estes & Mintz or it will not receive credit.
• Two Relevant Instructional Models – Discusses which two models discussed above, appeal to you the most (from Estes & Mintz ch. 3-7), and why you feel they are a good fit at this point for your unit topic and your grade level.
o Remember, all instructional models can be used for any grade level.
• Unit Design Impact – Evaluates how understanding the different instructional models impacts how you will design your unit (please always have the title of your unit and the grade level at the top of each assignment).
• Culturally Responsive Teaching: Integrates the Hammond (2015) text, briefly summarizing the author’s points in each of the three chapters (4, 5, and 6) and discusses how the text supports New York’s vision for the NGLS (see video).
• Standards -In doing so, also consider state standards as a whole, and be sure to discuss (use the links for standards plus the video to inform your writing and support your opinion)
o What is the importance of standards?
o How do standards play a role in teaching and learning?
o Should standards be used? Why or why not?
