Research evidence-based strategies for working collaboratively with colleagues when enacting change and for establishing buy-in from other professionals during the change process.
Discussion 2: Building a Collaborative Team
Collaboration leverages diverse perspectives and skills and can promote creativity and productivity. (Morel, 2014, p. 36)
An essential element of change is collaboration among those working to initiate and implement that change. Taking in varying perspectives contributes to a fuller understanding of the issues facing Grand City and helps to address them more effectively. How might you build a collaborative team to promote creativity and productivity in the changes you are suggesting for your specialization and Grand City?
For this Discussion, you will develop a hypothetical, cross-specialization team to support you in initiating the changes you outlined in your action plan for this module’s Discussion 1.
To prepare:
· Read the Morel (2014) article on collaboration and review Chenoweth’s (2015) thoughts on collaboration and change. Consider the benefits of collaboration in an educator’s professional life. Reflect on the individuals you currently collaborate with inside and outside of your professional field. What specific strategies work well to keep this collaboration positive and forward moving?
· In the City Hall location in Grand City, revisit the task force’s opening meeting where individual members discuss their goals for change in Grand City.
· Read Chapter 3 in the Fullan (2016) text, and review the action plan you outlined for Module 2 Discussion 1. If you were a member of the task force representing your specialization area, and based on the factors that affect initiation in the resources, who would you select as a member of a cross-specialization team to initiate and implement your plans for change?
Note: The members of your hypothetical team may be represented by individuals already on the Grand City task force and/or representatives from a different specialization area in your own district or locale.
· Research evidence-based strategies for working collaboratively with colleagues when enacting change and for establishing buy-in from other professionals during the change process.
· Read the Marsh & Farrell (2015) and Sterett & Irizarry (2015) articles regarding data-driven decision making. Consider how you might work collaboratively with the members of your cross-specialization team to use the data to guide decisions to address the issues outlined in your action plan.

Linear Regression Written Homework Assignment MATH-138 Online Statistics
Directions: On a separate sheet of paper, write out your solutions to the questions below. Then scan your written work, save it as a PDF file, and submit it on Canvas. Assignment: Show all of your work. (15 points total) 1) Researchers continue to look for methods to measure how fast a car was traveling before an accident. Most
methods focus on the distance, d (in feet) required for an average car to completely stop while traveling at various speeds, s. Consider the table below.
a) Use the LinReg command in your graphing calculator and report the linear regression model for this data rounded to one decimal place. (Be sure to write the linear model as an equation and don’t forget to put a “hat” over the predicted variable.)
b) Identify and interpret the slope of the linear regression model you found in part (a).
c) Use the model to predict the braking distance for a car traveling 65 mph.
d) What is the observed braking distance for a car traveling 50 mph? What is the predicted distance for a car traveling 50 mph?
e) Find the residual for a car traveling 50 mph.
f) Interpret, in the context of the problem, the residual you found in part (d).
