Community in the development and learning

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Create a plan for your second grade class describing how you would engage families and the community in the development and learning of young children with and without exceptionalities in your class.

Review the “Class Profile” and the students’ needs, strengths, and demographics. Based on the diversity of the “Class Profile,” create a 1,000-1,250 word family and community engagement plan that you will use for this class of students.

Use the “Family and Community Engagement Plan Template” to complete this assignment. Include the following in your plan:

Methods of communication for parents/teachers/volunteers/other service providers to promote respectful, reciprocal relationships.
Volunteer opportunities within your classroom and school, for the community and families, that accommodate different schedules and needs (including working families), and are designed to help build safe, positive learning environments with supportive and respectful interaction. In addition, include a description of how you will provide orientation/training for the volunteers.
How you will respond empathetically, ethically, and legally to family emergencies or families in crisis. Include safe intervention strategies in your plan for these unexpected circumstances for families with children both with and without exceptionalities.
Strategies and procedures for sharing educational and community resources with families of students with and without exceptionalities.
Brief rationales for each section as indicated on the template. Rationales should address how the “Class Profile” was incorporated into the section.
Include research to support and explain your choices. Specifically, include three or more resources that discuss how language, culture, and family background can influence the learning of students with and without exceptionalities, as well as the importance of family involvement in student achievement, especially in the early years of an education.

Prepare this according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide,

RLC Circuits And Their Frequency Properties: Induction Furnace

Posted on | by admin3

 

An induction furnace uses an inductive coil to produce heat for smelting and casting processes. This inductor needs to be stabilized using several other components like capacitors and resistors to ensure the circuit does not overheat and can continue to vary the current in the inductive coil to maintain heat output.

Discussion Prompt: Discuss the following prompts
Research and discuss induction heating systems and their RLC components.
Research and discuss a coreless and a channel induction furnace.
What are the three main components of an induction heating system?
What circuit components affect a channel induction furnace heating temperature?
Why is impedance matching important for induction furnaces?

Natural disasters impact families, communities, nations, and cultures

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Every year, natural disasters impact families, communities, nations, and cultures. Whether the natural disaster is a flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, or earthquake, it can alter the environment and cause potential health hazards.

For this module’s initial discussion post, research a major national or global disaster that occurred in the last decade. Provide a brief summary of the disaster and explain the common public health risks that occurred, as well as potential long-term health risks the victims might be facing. Do you think the type of natural disaster you studied has the highest risk of spreading diseases, or another type of natural disaster? Explain

Diverse Community Team

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

• Review the Learning Resources on identifying stakeholders for a community needs assessment team. Think about 8–10 stakeholders whom you would include on your community needs assessment team, the knowledge and expertise they would bring to the team, and the roles and responsibilities they would have.
BY DAY 7
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper (not including a title page or reference page) that addresses the following areas.
• Refine the Problem Statement. Refine your problem statement, based on what you learned from your peers, your Instructor, and/or the Learning Resources this week and in previous weeks.
• Identify a Diverse Community Team. Using the internet and/or your connections from working in the community, identify approximately 8–10 cross-discipline stakeholders that you would propose for your team and explain why you selected each of them. Examples of stakeholders include but are not limited to an executive director of a shelter, a school administrator, a community health worker, a prison warden, a corporate business leader, and a community member with a stake in the problem. These stakeholders should be members of the community who are familiar with the problem and/or who are affected by the problem. They are also critical to the success of the community needs assessment. For each stakeholder that you selected, address the following:
o Describe the knowledge and expertise that each stakeholder provides.
o Describe the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder. Be sure to indicate which stakeholders would play the role of an advocate, which would play the role of a consultant, and which would play both roles. Keep in mind that not all stakeholders will play these roles.

Psychotic disorders change one’s sense of reality and cause abnormal thinking and perception.

Posted on | by Brian Leakey

Patients presenting with psychotic disorders may suffer from delusions or hallucinations or may display negative symptoms such as lack of emotion or withdraw from social situations or relationships. Symptoms of medication-induced movement disorders can be mild or lethal and can include, for example, tremors, dystonic reactions, or serotonin syndrome.

Complete a focused SOAP note for a patient in a case study who has either a schizophrenia spectrum, other psychotic, or medication-induced movement disorder.
