Field Experience A: Learner Development
Spend at least 3 hours to complete this part of the clinical field experience.
Complete field experiences from the Focused Field Experience Activity List A:
• Formally assess the performance of a student with a language disability for data that could be used to guide future scaffolded instruction. (InTASC 1)
• If you are unable to assess an individual with exceptionalities without proper
certification per your state regulations on special education, please work with
your mentor teacher to discuss the results of the assessment to help complete
the assignment.
• Modify instruction for a student who has a language disability to make instruction relevant, accessible, and challenging. (InTASC 1)
• Observe a student who has atypical language development in an educational setting (classroom). (InTASC 1)
• Observe a student who has atypical language development in a non-educational setting (cafeteria, playground, etc.). (InTASC 1)
• Observe a student with an auditory processing disorder. (InTASC 1)

Your field experiences should include a mix of K-8 and 9-12 grade level settings and students with language disabilities. Reflect upon your field

experience choices in a 250-500-word summary.

 

Prioritize the risk by performing Qualitative Risk Analysis of the following Negative and Positive identified risks:

5 Negative Risks
-Company goes over allocated budget
-Local, State, or federal Regulations
-Unpredicted Failures or relay in materials or communicate, which will have issues with dependencies
-Natural Catastrophes
-Accidents of any kind. This will cause a halt in the operation of the project.
-Scope does not go as planned, Scope Creep.

5 Positive Risks
– Company goes under budget as planned
– Majority of the coding / network infrastructure can reused in the new headquarters
– Majority of the blueprint can be reused in building the new amazon headquarters
– Expansion of new Headquarters may bring more jobs to the new region
-Ending project before the delivery date.
-Team members can train other team members that would reduce time within the project.

“ I’ve been having some back pain and saw my Primary Care Provider/APRN but she can’t seem to find anything wrong with my back……She had started me on

youngest was born that I’ve been feeling this way. Plus, I haven’t gone back to work…and with three kids it takes two incomes…so, I feel bad about

that.”

look like it used to and I haven’t put in a garden for the last couple of summers now”. She really enjoyed her job and had worked there for over 10

years. She has lost contact with many of her co-worker friends and reported her coworkers “wouldn’t recognize me now because of the weight.” “I used

to make decisions constantly with my work now I can’t even decide what to fix for dinner…I just don’t think this is ever going to get better.” “I would

never do anything to hurt myself….I have my kids, my husband, my family and my faith in God. But, sometimes, I’ll just think of it (suicide) and I’m

not sure why….I’ve never thought of how I’d hurt myself…but, it just seems to pop in my mind.”

FINAL PROJECT ASSIGNMENT, PLEASE FOLLOW ALL QUESTIONS

A superior Final Project demonstrates breadth and depth of knowledge and critical thinking appropriate for graduate-level scholarship. The paper must follow APA Publication Manual guidelines and be free of typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors. The paper should be 10–15 pages, not counting the title page, abstract, or references. Please note that quantity does not always correspond to quality, and a well-written Final Project that includes all of the necessary information can be accomplished in fewer than the maximum number of pages. The Final Project for this course will be evaluated according to all four indicators in the Application Assignment and Final Project Writing Rubric located in the Course Information area.

For your Final Project, you are to select a profession in forensic psychology where you work, aspire to work, or one in which you have an interest. Using the profession you have selected you will compose a 10- to 15-page paper addressing the following:

Describe the professional role you selected, including services provided. Provide any background information you have in this area and explain why you decided to work, aspire to work, or why you have interest in this role
Describe the forensic setting associated with the professional role and the services provided. Explain any ethical challenges you would anticipate in the setting and explain how you might overcome these challenges.

Describe the professional role you have chosen in terms of dual roles you might face. Explain ethical challenges related to dual-roles in the profession and explain how you might address them.

Describe the forensic populations you might work with in this particular forensic psychology professional role. Include an explanation of any ethical issues you might face when working with these populations and an explanation of how might you overcome these issues?

Describe specific professional ethical codes and guidelines that might be relevant to the services/situation. Identify and analyze ethical codes or guidelines that might be difficult to follow and explain why.

Identify and analyze APA and AP-LS codes and guidelines that may be conflicting in the professional role you identified for this Final Project. Explain how you might address these conflicts.

Describe a population that is different from you, that you may have difficulty serving. Explain why you think you might have difficulty working with a member of that particular group. Describe strategies you might employ to overcome this difficulty and explain how you might avoid an ethical dilemma when working with diverse populations in general. (Note: Please be specific when identifying the population you chose. Think broadly about diversity. For example you might note: language difference, gender orientation, social economic background, religion, and age).

Explain any other ethical challenges you may encounter (in the forensic setting, with the population, and in the professional role) you chose for this final project that you may face.

Explain common ethical complaints and violations that might arise in the setting.

Then select the class Fund of Human Resources and Mgmt and select assessment 2- Training and Development
From there please read the requirements for the paper, and the required/suggested sources needed to be used.

Write a research paper in which you address the training and development functions of a selected organization, based on information you have gathered

and analyzed about the organization.

Training is one of the key elements that helps produce a competitive workforce. Training can help an organization communicate policies and procedures

as well as educate employees on key processes related to their positions. Orientation, for example, can help introduce an organization to new

employees. Training can take many forms, including classroom, online, and one-on-one mentoring. Though training budgets are often the first item to be

reduced or eliminated during challenging economic conditions, leaders must look at the cost of not doing training. While training helps make an

organization competitive, it can also help make sure an organization minimizes legal challenges.

Before beginning the assessment, complete the following:

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an

organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information in order to complete the assessment. You may use the same

organization for the other assessments in this course.
If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be

documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.
Research the training and development functions of your chosen organization.

Deliverable

Based on your research into the training and development functions of the organization you selected, write a research paper in which you complete the

following:

Explain how the organization identifies specific training needs.
Describe the types of training methods used within the organization.
Analyze the organization’s use of resources (internal and external) to assist with training.
Identify the kinds of training the organization provides for employees. Include company-wide training, such as orientation and harassment, as well as

training that is unique to this organization, such as forklift training and ERP system training.
Explain how training effectiveness is measured.
Identify ways that talent is developed within the organization. Is there a mentoring program? Leadership training? Educational opportunities?
Analyze the importance of training and development to the organization. Is it a valued service?
Analyze how the organization’s value of training and development affects its ability to attract and retain talent.

Please note: You must address all the required elements of this assessment. If details for any of the bulleted points are unavailable, research the

topic and present recommendations you believe would be best for the organization, along with your supporting rationale.
Additional Requirements

Your submitted assessment should include a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page.
Be sure you support your analyses with references to at least two resources.
You should format this assessment as a research paper following APA 6th edition guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure that you also

use correct grammar and mechanics.
