Role of gender in leadership

I’m studying and need help with a Social Science question to help me learn.

Critical thinking and academic writing are two of the most important skills required .

Critical thinking. Your use of critical thinking throughout the process will help you select a theoretical framework for your study, make arguments about why your study is important, analyze your data, and assess the implications of your results.

From previous work, you may be familiar with Bloom’s Taxonomy of critical thinking. The revised version is described in three links in this week’s Learning Resources. Each of the three links provides a different slant, visual, and list of resources. In everything you write in this course, as well as your other. courses and, of course, your Premise, Prospectus, Proposal, you are required to demonstrate higher levels of thinking. The levels of thinking in the revised version are: Remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. It is at the highest three levels—analyzing, evaluating, and creating—that scholarly thinking and writing take place, including the development of your Prospectus.

Academic writing. Your use of academic writing will ensure that you communicate effectively in all sections of your Dissertation, both to your committee and the academic community at large. Being able to demonstrate academic writing generally means that you can convey your ideas, thoughts, and findings clearly, succinctly, and coherently.

APA format and style. Part of academic writing is being able to write in correct APA style and format, and this is a requirement in this course and all others, for each document you write. Academic, scholarly writing and the correct APA style and format extend far beyond citing in the text correctly and writing a reference list in correct APA style and format.

Academic writing is a skill you will continue to hone throughout the rest of your academic and professional career. The APA Manual contains a wealth and depth of information on writing. It is recommended that you read the entire manual.

To prepare for this Assignment, review this week’s Learning Resources. Pay special attention to the Capstone Resources” found in the Library databases as well as Walden University Library. (n.d.). What is a good topic? Retrieved from http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/topic

Write 2–3 pages on the topic you are considering for your thesis. How did you come to select the topic? What is your interest in studying it? What is the problem that makes it worth studying? What is its significance?

Topics:

The relationship between leadership styles and performance success in organizations: Nonprofit vs for profit

Leadership Failures – Why Did It Break?

Best Practices in Leadership(Succession Planning)

Then, in another half page, briefly explain how your topic relates to public policy and/or administration. Appropriate use of the APA format and style is required and expected for this assignment.

Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Hello Class,

For my research, I decided to go with childhood autism and how brain development shows the early signs of it. This article talks about the brain of infants and toddlers who have early on autism and how their brains have developed differently than a normal child. They talk about how the brain will change more through the stages of life and how some children’s autism will worsen while others remain the same. There is no way of telling how it will progress and the symptoms of this illness well only progressively get more noticeable or even worsen the child grows up. If a child with autism does not show signs of it as an infant then it is likely that as they come into the toddler stages of life they will start showing more and more signs of the illness since they were born with this it’s not something that just shows up as a common cold or cancer. It is all what the child is born with and where they will lie on the spectrum of autism. There is no cure to this illness it’s just learning how to manage the child and what will help them through their life. This article also talked about the statistics of a child on a case by case bases. They will take brain images of each child and discuss the diagnosis and how they determine the diagnosis.

Hello Classmates, Dr.Deris

Last Forum for this Class it has been great. I truly have enjoyed each of you and wish everyone the best. My research on Infants and Toddlers Scholarly Review Article that I chose was Autism Spectrum Disorder. My topic of Discussion Comparison of Autism Screening in Younger and Older Toddlers. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that will affects the child communication and behavior. Autism appear in the first two years of life. Whenever testing and screening comes the study will show and examine the effect of age at the completion of an Autism Screening test on items that was done and the rate was at a failure. Contrasting older(>20 months) with younger (<20 months) toddlers in a primary care with about 73,564 children can sample this as part of participants in which each one will be broken down in the experiment and placed in the proper category for proper observation and research. The main goal for this will be Autism Screening, M-CHAT, Developmental-Screening- Test development. It is recommended that all children get tested and screened early for Autism. (AAP 2006 CDC 2015)

Autism Spectrum Disorder screen Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) (Robins et.al) M_Chat is a tool recommended for ASD screening by AAP (2006) and major advocacy group such as Autism Speaks (2016). The procedures that will be used will be methods and participants, data was collected and screening were split into two age group. This will be discussed further in my paper. The Method Analysis,Results Discussion and Conclusion of the Research will all be provided and broken down accordingly.

In conclusion it is best for infants and toddlers to be screened early before the age of two for Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as the testing to make sure that they don’t have the disability

EDUCATION Mobile technology….. class assignment…….due today

/in /by

Must be done in 8 hours…….DUE TODAY

Do the following:

For this assignment you get to watch some videos and answer some questions.  

You are going to need to make time to go through the videos, as well as make time to figure out how you want to create a spreadsheet or document that documents the following questions as to each project.  I will attach a sample Excel worksheet that you can use, and a sample Word document template that you can use – or you can design your own. The videos of school projects using Mobile Technology in the K-12 classrooms are part of your major projects for this class.  

These are great videos housed in what Orange County calls their “Student Technology Showcase.”  They are all short videos, with a pdf transcript and captioning, that show EXACTLY HOW the teachers in their district are utilizing mobile technology.  This should give you some ideas!

Remember, any movable device in the classroom is mobile technology!

http://www.ocde.us/EdTech/Pages/Student-Tech-Showcase/Student-Technology-Showcase-Videos-2012.aspx

** SOME OF THE VIDEOS MAY NOT PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH.  PLEASE USE THE TRANSCRIPT TO COMPLETE ANY VIDEOS THAT DON’T PLAY.**  It seems video no. 3, “I have iPad, I create” only works for a short time.  Fortunately there is a transcript for each video.

Your assignment is to A)  Watch all of these short videos B)  Create a document or spreadsheet where you detail for each video:          1) The name of the project, including the grade           2) The devices used          3)  The programs or apps used          4)  The main point of the lesson          5)  A brief description of the lesson          6)  Whether any kind of assessment was indicated or what you think the assessment might be.  (This includes if the answer is no, there is no assessment, you imagining a way to assess the students’ work and stating what that might be.)          7)  Any ideas the video gave you for teaching and learning (This question needs some kind of answer – not just “no”)          8)  Any observations you made about any of the topics we have covered in this course (Do you see DOK in action?  Differentiated learning?  21st Century Skills?  Etc.)  (This question requires some kind of answer – not just “no”)          9)  Using the SAMR model, where this lesson falls as to the four categories – and why!  (A most important question.  Please answer as fully as you can.)

  1. Assignment 2: Operations DecisionDue Week 6 and worth 300 points

    Using the regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company operates.

    Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide).

    Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

    1. Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price.
    2. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment.
    3. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.

    TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q

    1. Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.)
    2. Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion.

    (Hints:

    • In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function.
    • Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.)
    1. Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions.

    (Hints:

    • Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here.
    • Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.)
    1. Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations.
    2. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

    Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

    • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
    • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

    The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

    • Analyze short-run and long-run production and cost functions.
    • Apply macroeconomic concepts to changes in global and national economies and how they affect economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and wage rates.
    • Evaluate the profit-maximizing price and output level for given operating costs for monopolies and firms in competitive industries.
    • Use technology and information resources to research issues in managerial economics and globalization.
    • Write clearly and concisely about managerial economics and globalization using proper writing mechanics.
