Plan for a parent education program and to evaluate your plan.
You are a second-year preschool teacher who has worked hard to develop rapport with parents and make them feel welcome in your classroom and the school. You have observed that parents have developed a close bond and love to discuss topics related to education (e.g., toilet learning and good toys for young children) as well as subjects related to community life (e.g., neighborhood childcare centers). You approach your center director about creating a parent education plan. She is in favor and encourages you to team up with other teachers to create a plan to implement the program in the fall. For the first step in creating your plan, you and your fellow teachers ask parents directly about their interests. For the second step in your plan, you work with your fellow teachers and parents to determine the style of meeting that you think will promote the richest interactions among parents (e.g., classroom versus whole school). For the third step in your plan, you focus on your role in the meeting. In the past, some parents complained that they did not feel their voices were heard. Above all, you decide you want to create a warm, supportive atmosphere in which you serve as a facilitator of discussions rather than “the expert lecturer.”
Focus Assignment
- Create a plan for a parent education program. For the first step, write a paragraph to describe how you and your fellow teachers will approach parents to find out what interests and needs they would most like the school to focus on in the upcoming year. Be sure to explain whether you would call an in-person meeting or send home a questionnaire (or both). For the second step, write a paragraph stating the pros and cons of adopting various meeting styles and include which type you decide to use. For the third step, list four strategies you will use to promote discussion, participation, and goodwill during parent meetings.
.
Self-Evaluation - For each step in your plan:
a. Explain how this step addresses the issues in the scenario.
A job-training program
The goal of this discussion is to recognize that an observed association between two variables need not be due to a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables.
A job-training program is being reviewed. Advocates claim that because the unemployment rate in the manufacturing region the program took place in was 9% when the program began and 5% four years later, the program was effective.
In your initial replies, please do the following:
Provide one suggestion for what other factor might explain this outcome even if the program had no effect.
Explain why it may have led to this outcome.
PROGRAM DEV. IMPLEM & EVALUATION
Construct a framework for the evaluation of your project. Identify and describe the type of model selected for evaluation: discrepancy, goal-free, transaction, goal-based or decision-making model. Discuss why this model was chosen. You will then develop the tool(s) to be used to evaluate if the objective/goals, the financial aspect of the project and how the data collected will be analyzed.

Intro to Object Oriented Programming
- Create an ATM class with class variables name, pin, and balance, a constructor with parameters to
assign values to the three instance variables, methods to get the name, pin, and balance, and methods to
handle validated deposits and withdrawals ( deposit and withdrawal amounts cannot be negative, and
withdrawal amount must not be greater than the existing balance). - In the ATMTest class, read the names, 4 digit pin numbers, and account balances of five or more (max
10) customers into instances of the ATM class. Display the customers names, pins, and balances
formatted. - Now that you have all your customers’ information start your ATM to accomplish the following within
an infinite loop,
a. Display a welcome screen with your bank’s information and prompt for and read the customer
entered pin.
b. Match the entered pin with one of the customers’ pins. If the entered pin number matches that of
one of the customers, then:
i. Welcome the customer by name and display the balance.
ii. Display option to - DEPOSIT,
- WITHDRAW or
- EXIT.
iii. If option 1 is selected, then use the instance deposit method to prompt for deposit
amount, read, and add a valid deposit amount to the customer’s balance
iv. If option 2 is selected, then use the instance withdrawal method to subtract a valid
withdrawal amount from the customers balance
v. If option 3 is selected, go to step a. - Should the entered pin number not match that of any of the existing customers, notify the iser that the
entered pin is not valid and go to step a. - Selection of the EXIT option must display welcome/login screen (step a).
- Should an incorrect option be entered, notify the user and display the original welcome/login screen
(step a).
A quadratic programming model
A quadratic programming model is an optimization model with n decision variables and m linear constraints, and of the form:
Minimize Z=12xTQx+cTx
Subject to: Ax≥b
x≥0
Where x is the n by 1 column vector of decision variables and xT is its transpose, Q is an n by n symmetric matrix of the objective parameters, c is an n by 1 vector of additional objective parameters, A is an m by n matrix of constraints parameters, and b is an m by 1 vector of constraints’ right hand sides.
Explain how quadratic programming is used in the real world. Provide a specific example from your own line of work, or a line of work that you find particularly interesting. Indicate explicitly and qualitatively what Z, x, Q, C, A, and b are in your example.
Describe how you would handle solving a quadratic programming problem in which some of the problem parameters are random variables as opposed to being constant values. Make sure that you include a specific example of application in your response.

“Their eyes were watching god” by Zora Neale Hurston.
write an analysis on a quote from the book “Their eyes were watching god” by Zora Neale Hurston. Discuss what it means in relation to the novel, including how it relates to the themes discussed. Cite using page number in book. I have attached a pdf version of the book. Must be 500 words and at least 3 paragraohs (Intro, body, conclusion).
City science depends very heavily on the use of ICT
City science depends very heavily on the use of ICT to both involve and inform the public about new initiatives. There is a central problem with this in that users want to have their information broadly accessible, but at the same time very private. Information assurance and privacy are key components to all smart city applications in this regard. Describe three information assurance initiatives that you consider important to have in place prior to the deployment of an information sensitive smart city initiative
