You have recently graduated from UTSC and you wish to increase your chances of being employed in a big organization that values good opinions, research, facts, current topics and good writing. Your career advisor suggests that you write a 400-word Op-ed for a national Canadian newspaper. When you contacted the editor of your chosen newspaper, you learned that 5 years earlier, she took GGRC25 with Prof. Kepe. She encourages you to consider writing on the topic relating to that course. The editor goes on to suggest that you skillfully write on an issue that combines several key words into a powerful editorial opinion that could be of interest to Canadians and other readers overseas, where the newspaper stories are syndicated.
While you are free to write on a topic of your choice, your key words are: Land, Development, Food Security, the State, Decolonization, Violence. All these key words must appear in the op-ed, but not as mere mentions, but as key parts of your flowing argument. They must be connected, not in any particular order, to make a solid argument that shows your knowledge of the subject. This cannot be a random topic. I must be absolutely based on the core lessons from GGRC25.

Ensure that your Op-Ed is accessible and has flow. This means that your argument should be easy to follow. It should be educational. It should be clear why any of your points are made. Your points must relate to each other, in terms of being building blocks of a point your want to drive across. Your Op-Ed must tell a ‘story’ that makes sense, using what you have learned in GGRC25.
Think carefully about how you introduce and conclude your Op-Ed.
Provide your Op-Ed with a catchy title, which should match your key argument.
Op-Eds are usually not referenced; so do not put in-text citations, but list full reference information of a minimum of five (5) journal articles or book chapters that informed the Op-Ed. This may include sources prescribed for GGRC25 or those from elsewhere. List them in full under the heading: Sources consulted. Class slides should not be listed. The list of references do not count in the word limit. But, just do not cut and paste or take huge chunks from the slides or readings.

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and develop a health promotion that can be presented to parents and caregivers.

Create a 10-12-slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional slide for references at the end.

In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored.

Include the following in your presentation:

Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health or safety of infants.
Create a health promotion plan that can be presented to parents and caregivers to address the environmental factor and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and the health or safety of infants.
Offer examples, interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At least three scholarly sources are required. Two of the three sources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 5 years old.
Provide readers with four resources: two community resources, one national resource, and one web-based resource. Include a brief description and contact information for each resource.

 

 

 

 

Creating and sustaining a school environment that promotes the learning, development, and well-being

Posted on | by

School administrators carry the responsibility of creating and sustaining a school environment that promotes the learning, development, and well-being of every student. Like any organization, to achieve this organizational goal, leadership responsibilities must be distributed so that support and guidance can be provided in multiple places at coinciding times. However, assigning or identifying leadership responsibilities will not be successful if it happens haphazardly or without purpose. Effective school administrators assign leadership responsibilities to other faculty and staff who are able to perform those responsibilities in an intentional way. To begin planning for assigned leadership, administrators can start by identifying the organizational needs that can be associated to positions that lend themselves to leadership roles.

For this assignment, select either an elementary, middle, or high school setting. Create an organizational chart of 5-6 elementary or 8-10 high school non-administrator leadership positions currently occupied by teachers, staff, and other stakeholders within your chosen school setting.

As a part of the organizational chart, include the following:

Both instructional and non-instructional leadership positions
Attributes expected from the staff members filling the positions
Following the organizational chart, summarize the following in 250-500 words:

Explain how a principal can support the school’s vision, exemplify appropriate dispositions, and promote a positive school/learning culture through assigning or identifying leadership responsibilities.
Explain why assigning leadership responsibilities carefully and thoughtfully is important to ensure a positive school environment and learning culture. Include discussion of how failure to select individuals carefully can be detrimental to the environment and learning culture. Provide a specific example to support your ideas.
