Identify what challenges you can foresee in documenting children’s learning and explore possible solutions to overcoming these challenges. 

The three readings for this module highlight different aspects of the importance of the practice of observing and documenting children’s learning processes. In your discussion this week, reflect and discuss how the module’s content as well as the weekly readings have contributed to your understanding of the purpose(s) of the practice of observation and documentation in early childhood settings. Identify what challenges you can forsee in documenting children’s learning and explore possible solutions to overcoming these challenges.  

What type of goal is this? What need does this meet for the client?

Overview: Now that we are in the assessment and planning phase of case management, it is your

turn to practice what you have learned! For this assignment, you will develop a case

plan for your client, Sue. This case plan will focus on setting goals and identifying

objectives to support your client in achieving each long or short-term goal.

Instructions: Using the provided Case Plan template, you will develop at least 5 goals and objectives

for Sue based on the information you have. Be sure to fill out each column fully for each

goal. Here are a few pointers and instructions regarding each column:

• Type/Need: What type of goal is this? What need does this meet for the client?

Is it related to income/finances, housing, education, transportation, medical?

Your responses for this column can be one-word responses that identify the

type/need.

• Goal: Identify the specific goal that you and Sue are setting to meet her identified

need. Remember to apply the concept of SMART goals to your work.

• Objectives: Identify at least 3 objectives for each goal. In applying the SMART

goal principles, these should be very specific steps that will help Sue achieve the

identified goal.

• Referral: Share what referral you have made for Sue, if needed. For example, if Sue’s

goal relates to employment, a possible referral may be to a job training program.

• Follow-Up/Check-In: When will you follow up with Sue? What will you follow-up about:

meeting one or more objective? Will you follow up after the goal has been met? Will you

follow up with the provider to determine that the referral has been completed?

Requirements:

• Your case plan must be submitted using the provided template attached to the

assignment in Blackboard.

do you think we need fundamental election (or voting) reform in this country and why?

The 2020 election was historic in many ways.  It was the largest overall turnout in history, there was more access to voting than in prior elections, and there were a slew of new protocols due to the pandemic.  Also, after the election, in part due to former President Donald Trump claiming the election was ‘stolen’, and the plethora of lawsuits the Trump team filed post-election, confidence in our electoral process dropped to the lowest it’s been in modern history.  In addition, during the election and early voting, the TV was plastered with images of people standing hours in line, and even showing up the day before voting open just to vote!  And, these long lines, were in places that have had a history of voter suppression – primarily ethnic minority neighborhoods.  

Consequently, election reform became a major topic after the election.  But what type of reforms do we need?  Often times the more security measures you place on voting, the harder it is for people to vote.  Take Texas’s voter ID law for example.  Texas is one of the few states in America that require a birth certificate to get a driver’s license.  In addition, with so little state funding for social services, there are fewer locations to even get an ID than in other states.  And some TX residents have to travel a few counties over to find the closest DPS.  Consequently, Texas is one of the lowest voter turnout states in the US.  Conversely, the more open the process becomes, one could see bad actors taking advantage lax laws, which could very lead to an increase of fraud or at the minimum more voting irregularities. 

First, do you think we need fundamental election (or voting) reform in this country and why?  If yes, what areas do you think need to be improved upon.

What suggestions do you have for your classmates on their network cabling? 
  • What suggestions do you have for your classmates on their network cabling? 
  • Are there any other suggestions for what they should consider for their equipment setup? 

As someone who just started working from home for the first time ever this year, this is kind of fun to do.

  • Where are you moving to for your new work-from-home position? Which  ISPs are available at this location? Which do you pick and why?  
    • I will be moving to Dallas, Texas, where there are a few ISP options  available, such as Fios, Cox and Xfinity. I will be using a trusted  nationwide company, Xfinity. I am using them because I have experience  with their speeds and reliability; if necessary, there are download  speeds up to 1200mbps(megabytes per second) available, which is more  than enough to work from my home (Xfinity). Xfinity also has wonderful  customer support and great deals on their services.
  • What equipment do you need for your work-from-home position? What  does your ISP provide? What does your employer provide? What do you need  to provide? 
    • I will need two monitors, a high-quality router, a desktop, a  laptop, desk and chair, wireless headset, HDMI cables, surge protectors,  and a keyboard and mouse. My ISP is providing my router only. My new  job is supplying me with the laptop, monitors, keyboard and mouse and  headset. Everything else, I will purchase myself. 
  • What types of network cabling will you be using and with which devices? 
    • I’ll use an ethernet cable for the tower of the desktop and CAT5 for  the router. Everything else will be wireless aside from power cables  and HDMI for the monitors.
  • How do you determine the IP addresses on your devices? 
    • The IP address can either be found in settings in the “About Device” section or in the command prompt.
  • How will you set up equipment in your office in your new home? Will  you be using wireless or hard wire for your network connection? What  else should be considered? 
    • I’ll have a large L-shaped desk and have the monitors sitting side  by side on one part with the desktop tower and modem on one of the desk  shelves for hardwiring, and the laptop on the other side. The desktop  will be hardwired, but the laptop will be wireless. Both will be  connected to a VPN for added security with two-factor authentication.
In your own words, what occurs at each layer?

When you use your home network  (or any network for that matter), there are many TCP/IP services that  you use on a daily basis such as email and browsing the Web. In your  week one reading, you were introduced to the TCP/IP protocol suite (this  is also called the TCP/IP model) and the OSI model. They may look very  different. For starters, the number of layers and some of the names  differ between the two, but they both are used to represent how a  network functions. This week we are taking a “deep dive” into both  TCP/IP protocol suite and the OSI model, focusing on the different  layers and their functionality. 

Learning about the TCP/IP  protocol suite and the OSI model will help you build a great networking  foundation- they are not only used to help teach how a network functions  but are also used today in the field to help aid in network  troubleshooting.   

  • In your own words, what occurs at each layer?
  • What kind of equipment is used at each level? (You may use the textbook and additional resources to help you answer).
  • Compare and contrast the TCP/IP protocol suite and the OSI model.  
    • How are they similar? How are they different?
