    he Role of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in Homeland Security

    The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). CISA was established on November 16, 2018, when President Donald Trump signed into law the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act of 2018. CISA is responsible for strengthening cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government, coordinating cybersecurity programs with U.S. states, and improving the government’s cybersecurity protections against private and nation-state hackers. But the role and mission of CISA is still debated. 

    For this written assignment:

    Prepare a research paper on the role of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in homeland security and how CISA works to bring all stakeholders together to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure. The paper should:

    • Describe the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as the national coordinator for critical infrastructure security
    • Discuss its mission to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.
    • Identify all stakeholders that CISA must coordinate with and their role in protecting against cyber threats.
    • Analyze CISA’s responsibilities to ensure the effective coordination of the federal government and its homeland security stakeholders.

    Guidelines:

    1. The paper should be at least 8 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) pages (not including the cover page, introduction, and references) using double-spaced, 12-point fonts. 
    2. The paper must be organized in sections by the required topics (above) to include section headings formatted in accordance with APA 7th Edition guidelines.
    3. The paper should cite at least one  (1) reference for each page written), not including the cover page, introduction, and references.
    4. Resources must be properly cited within the body of the text and reflected in the references using APA format and citation rules.

      **PLEASE FOLLOW RUBRIC ATTACHED IN FILES**

      **THIS IS A POWERPOINT SLIDE ASSIGNMENT**

      **ATTACHED IN FILES IS ALSO A WORD DOCUMENT FROM A PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT TO BASE PICOT QUESTION ON!!**

      To Prepare:

      • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
      • Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.
      • Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
      • Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

      The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

      Part 2: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

      Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

      • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
      • Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
      • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
      • Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.
      • Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.

          Correspondence to Marie C. Ireland: [email protected]. Pub- lisher Note: This article is part of the Forum: Developing and Imple- menting IEPs for Children With Disabilities in Schools: Current Pro- cesses, Models, and Research. Disclosure: The authors have declared that no competing financial or nonfinancial interests existed at the time of publication.

          This forum for Language, Speech, and Hearing Ser- vices in Schools, focusing on the Individualized Education Program (IEP), presents a unique opportunity to provide a series of curated research articles, viewpoints, clinical focus articles, and tutorials about translational research that can be used immediately by school speech-language patholo- gists (SLPs), school administrators, and university faculty providing preservice training. Some articles provide a proof of concept, while others explore feasibility of approaches or provide a model to follow with explicit information on implementation within the context of the current education landscape and awareness of the requirements of the Indi- viduals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of Education, 2016).

          IDEA and IEPs

          The IDEA requires each child with an identified dis- ability have an IEP that includes specific information. The IEP should serve as a roadmap for educators and families, including the student, and provide information to assist the IEP team and educators in meeting the student’s indi- vidual needs. An IEP is required for every student with a disability under the IDEA, which makes available a free appropriate public education (FAPE) and ensures special education and related services are available to eligible chil- dren with disabilities.

          IEPs are the foundation of special education services and should serve as the guiding document for teams including SLPs. Federal regulations require that the IEP be developed with input from general and special educa- tors, SLPs, other related service providers as needed, plus the student and their family members. The document should provide a robust description of the student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as goals, supports, transi- tion plans, and statements about how student progress will be monitored. The practices reflected in the goals and ser- vices outlined in IEPs should be evidence-based. In addition to federal regulations, each state education agency (SEA) promulgates regulations addressing special education and may publish guidance to assist in the implementation of the regulations. Local education agencies (LEAs) are required to implement both federal and state regulations and may adopt additional policies or procedures at the local level.

          Procedural compliance means adhering to the fed- eral, state, and local rules for IEP development, such as meeting timelines, IEP team composition, and ensuring all parts of the IEP are included. Substantive compliance

          means developing an IEP that focuses on the student’s unique needs. IEPs should target high expectations and meaningful progress to ensure educational benefit (Yell et al., 2020). There should be alignment between parts of the IEP (Hott et al., 2021) to create “meaningful educa- tional experiences” (Blackwell & Rossetti, 2014, p. 12). IEPs should be high quality, objective, and ambitious (Turnbull et al., 2018) and include quality indicators. Without genuine individualization, the focus on compli- ance alone may result in poorly written IEPs that under- mine student outcomes.

          SLPs in Public School Settings

          Over 50% of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s 223,000 members work in the public school setting (ASHA, 2022) providing services to students as mandated by the student’s IEP. In 2022, over 7.2 million students in public schools in the United States received spe- cial education services. Speech-language impairment is the second largest primary disability category (National Center for Education Statistics, 2023). SLPs must be aware of state and local requirements to ensure consistent development of IEPs and be aware of changes in public policy and current evidence-based practices to ensure the development of an IEP that is both procedurally and substantively compliant.

          The Changing Education Landscape and IEPs

          Since the initial legislation that mandated educational services for children with disabilities, approaches to edu- cating children with disabilities have changed significantly. Inclusion and meaningful experiences have replaced segre- gated and more restrictive educational environments. Additionally, the climate of accountability in public education has heightened due to additional focus on ade- quate yearly progress (Twachtman-Cullen & Twachtman- Bassett, 2011) in No Child Left Behind (NCLB; United States Congress, 2015). The 2004 changes to IDEA increased focus on inclusive settings and narrowing the achievement gap and introduced federal monitoring of spe- cial education outcomes (U.S. Department of Education, n. d.). Annual reporting of disproportionality, inclusive prac- tices in the least restrictive environment (LRE), and out- comes including graduation rates and other measures of student success are now required. Subsequent reauthoriza- tion introduced multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) tar- geting instructional effectiveness. This, combined with efforts to address misidentification, requires increased col- laboration between general and special education staff.

          Advances in technology have shifted the development of IEP from paper forms to computerized applications that

          may contain goal banks, robust information menus, and audit rules to improve compliance with state and federal regula- tions. While most IEPs are written using computerized sys- tems to increase procedural compliance, the use of technology does not guarantee a quality IEP. The quality and appropri- ateness of content (substantive compliance) is more difficult to analyze than procedural compliance such as signature checks or automated date calculations. Professional collabo- ration is needed across work settings (e.g., LEA, SEA, and researchers) to examine processes and implement evidence- based practice within the context of special education.

          Enduring Issues and IEPs

          The IDEA requires services that provide a FAPE, which is very different from a family’s desire to have the best services for their child. This juxtaposition of appro- priate versus best results in frequent disagreements and tensions between families and IEP teams. Unfortunately, the litigious nature of special education and high cost of resolving disputes has heightened the emphasis on com- pliance, drawing focus away from the IEP as a tool for educational planning. IEP teams must refocus on curriculum-relevant collaborative services and monitor- ing of student progress that results in meaningful educa- tional benefit. SLPs must be prepared to deal with this enduring conflict and share with the team specific regula- tory requirements and individualized student data to sup- port their recommendations.

          Focus of This Forum

          This forum actively supports the IEP process by providing articles on various topics, from gathering data to monitoring progress. It also emphasizes engaging with students and families. The articles highlight specific infor- mation regarding how to engage with conflict and work with others to address concerns in the implementation of children’s IEPs. Authors describe models and case studies to inform thinking on IEP practices and use of data for program improvement and showcase current research related to IEP development and implementation.

          While spanning a variety of topics related to the IEP, this forum addresses four major areas: (a) consider- ations for before the IEP is developed, (b) approaches and considerations for use during the IEP team meeting, (c) strategies for the development of the IEP document to increase educational relevance and outcomes, and (d) use of an IEP as a data source for program improvement. Highlights from each article that align with the major focus areas are provided in Table 1. Individuals and edu- cation agencies may apply information from these articles

           Over the past three weeks, you have been exposed to many concepts, theories, and terms related to psychology. Now is the time to make personal application to the concepts. This personal application of concepts learned is one of the things that makes psychology such an interesting area of study. Not all courses of study have such a direct application to our own lives. You will research and write about the following topics: 

           “To what extent does your personality influence your academic performance”

          1. Define Personality.
          2. Define personality traits.
          3. How do your personality traits influence your academic performance?
          4. What approaches could you take to ensure success in your studies?

          You will read and research at least four scholarly sources from the Keiser Online Library and then identify, discuss, and place this concept in proper context in your own life. After you have identified this concept, you will then explain ways this concept can be applied to your own life with examples.  I hope you enjoy your research and this personal application.

              Comparing Samples

              Two or more samples are often compared when we suspect that there are differences between the groups—for example, are women more likely to complete a college degree than men, or are test scores higher in one class than another? When the variable of interest is qualitative (like whether or not a college degree was completed) then we compare the difference in proportions. When the variable is quantitative (like test scores), we look for a difference in means.

              In your chosen field, identify a qualitative or quantitative variable that you might want to measure and compare between groups (e.g. from another month or quarter, between different groups or divisions, etc.). Determine the following:

              1) Describe the situation (what groups will you compare and what observations or measurements will you be taking), including how and why this would be of interest.

              2) Will the data you collect be qualitative or quantitative? This can be tricky! Remember that qualitative data is often collected as “yes/no” data (was a shipment on time, did an employee call in sick, is an employee up to date on required training, etc.) and is summarized in percentages (such as 85% of employees completed training). Quantitative data is a numerical measurement (profit, number of shipments, length of a call, etc.) and is summarized by central tendency.

              3) State the null hypothesis for your statistical test.
