Complete worksheet labeled assessment 2/leadership and group collab ASSESSMENT 3 Imagine that Lynette follows up with you in an e-mail shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration. E-mail From Lynette Hi, Thanks for sending me your thoughts on the diversity issue at the Lakeland Clinic. The next step is for you to select a team of professionals who can help you in this project and prepare an introduction of the project for a first meeting with them. I want you to prepare a presentation to serve as a brief, but substantive introduction for the first meeting with a group of four members who will participate on the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. The presentation should be approximately 5 minutes (use as many slides as required with detailed speaker’s notes) so I can understand your approach. Not a lot of time or space, so keep things pretty high level. Do the following: 1. Briefly outline the project goals and highlight 2–3 of the initial priorities to be addressed by the group. 2. Explain the composition of your ideal team and why you chose them. (Note that you will not know the exact personnel yet, but assume we will recruit the people with the desired qualities and characteristics that you outline in the presentation.) Provide brief description of the type of professionals you believe can help define the problem and ultimately make recommendations on how to address it. You will want the group to be diverse and with each member being able to provide a unique perspective. 3. Explain your role and describe how the committee will work together and achieve effective interprofessional collaboration. o Describe how the group will communicate. Include how and when they will meet. o Describe how ideas will be shared and decisions made. o Describe roles, group function, and structure. Thanks, Use the PowerPoint Template [PPTX] Download PowerPoint Template [PPTX](and Kaltura or similar software) to create an approximately 5-minute narrated ENGLISH SPEAKING FEMALE VOICE presentation with visuals in response to the above scenario. Presentation Guidelines Be sure your presentation meets the following requirements: • Length: Approximately 5 minutes narrated ENGLISH SPEAKING FEMALE VOICE (use as many slides as required). • Visuals: Create visuals that are easily read and interpreted. Use colors, fonts, formatting, and other design principles that make the information clear and generally add to the aesthetic of the presentation.

    Summarize the excerpt from the policy that you identified as needing change. 
    What are the strengths of this excerpt in helping to alleviate the social problem? If you do not see any strengths, that is okay—explain why.

    EXPLANATORY NOTE:  This assignment does NOT require a formal lesson plan (although you are welcome to submit one if you desire).  It IS asking you to select 4 of the comprehension strategies discussed in the lectures or that you’ve identified through your own readings and describe exactly how you will use this text to explicitly instruct students on how to use that strategy to improve reading comprehension (the focus of the lesson is the strategy, not the text).  A more than a simple listing or description of activities that use the strategy is required.  I’m looking for your method to actively engage the students in using the comprehension strategies (“the teacher will” focus, not “the student will”).

  • Biology 8030 Week 10 Assignment: Ethical Formative And Summative Evaluation Plans

    In a 4 page paper, discuss your understanding of qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Then, discuss your understanding of formative and summative evaluations. Choose a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures for a formative (on-going) then a summative (final outcome) evaluation of each of your eight outcomes. For example, if you had an outcome that stated that 30-day use of alcohol among adolescents would be reduced by 50 percent, you could use an annual underage drinking survey to plot if a percentage of teens are consuming less alcohol in a 30-day period. This is considered a quantitative method. You could also gather a listening group of 10–12 adolescents who would be open, honest, and knowledgeable, and ask their perception of alcohol consumption among teens. This is considered a qualitative method. You may choose to use the listening sessions as formative evaluation and pre-and post-survey for summative evaluation. You need to rely on scholarly sources to defend your choices for all items listed above.
