Overview
For this assignment, you will create a narrated PowerPoint presentation designed to train others on the role of healthcare administrations in fiscal planning and fiscal management. Explain how fiscal planning ties into strategic planning. This is your opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned about what fiscal planning and management can and should look like for healthcare administrators.
Instructions
As a regional healthcare administrator for a long-term care organization, you have been asked to train a new group of healthcare administrators who just completed their degrees. They have no work experience in healthcare administration or financial management. For this assignment, you will develop a 10-12 slide narrated PowerPoint presentation explaining the role of healthcare administrators in fiscal planning and financial management.
Your presentation should address each of the following:
Explain how fiscal planning ties into strategic planning. Be sure to provide at least two concrete examples. In this context, fiscal planning may be considered strategic financing.
Describe the role (direct or indirect) that healthcare administrators play in budgeting. Specifically, address the role administrators play in the construction and implementation of operating and capital budgets.

Discuss censorship and inform families that some literature may present content that could create questions or be concerning to them. Explain the research-based evidence and rationale for exposing students to a variety of texts and topics, even those that might be considered controversial.
The ability to establish clear expectations for students and families and create an environment that encourages ongoing collaboration and dialogue between the teacher, students, and families is an important skill for reading teachers. Families typically want to know what their students are reading, why specific reading selections have been made, and how to ask questions and express concerns they may have about what their child is reading. It is also important that students feel energized and excited about engaging in reading activities.
Imagine you are teaching students in the 4-8 grade range and your principal has asked you to prepare back-to-school reading orientation materials for families. Create the materials in the brochure format (300-400 words).
The back-to-school information should include the following:
Definition of children’s literature and explanation of why it is valuable in education. Include discussion of the specific reading skills students will learn and practice and how these align to learning standards.
Research commonly read books for Grades 4-8 and create a list of five books you plan to read with students during the school year. Include an explanation of how and why the books were selected and how the books support state standards and the content taught in other curricular areas.
Describe how you will differentiate reading experiences for students based upon their reading ability and individual interests. Include discussion of how you will direct students in selecting books that are appropriate for them as individuals and will help them grow as readers and further develop their reading skills.
Discuss censorship and inform families that some literature may present content that could create questions or be concerning to them. Explain the research-based evidence and rationale for exposing students to a variety of texts and topics, even those that might be considered controversial.
Provide tips for families to help their children succeed in reading and in the classroom. Outline the communication steps families should take if they want to express concerns about and discuss classroom literature selections.

You will choose to create a scholarly paper that identifies events which evolved the American education system, specifically in the movement to public schools, the development of secondary schools, and American higher education, from the Colonial Period and the Early National Period. you will use the texts and one to two other scholarly (peer-reviewed) sources.
Explain the importance, value, and benefits of cross-curricular planning and the use of literature to support the learning outcomes being taught in other content areas in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8).
Reading and writing skills are essential in all content areas. Whether students are interacting with expository texts or texts from various literary genres, they need to be able to view text critically and gain meaning from it. Using cross-curriculum planning, you can select books and readings that support what is being taught in other content areas while still reinforcing essential reading and writing skills.
Imagine your principal has asked you to create a short professional development session that can be shared with other teachers in your building. The goal of the session is to provide a high-level overview of the benefits of cross-content curriculum planning and using literature to support key concepts and ideas being taught in other subject areas.
Using the topic Resources and your own research, create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation for a professional development session designed for K-12 teachers.
The presentation should:
Explain the importance, value, and benefits of cross-curricular planning and the use of literature to support the learning outcomes being taught in other content areas in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8).
Summarize how to best utilize cross-curricular planning in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8), including discussion of the unique processes that can be used in planning and the challenges one might face when planning for each grade range.
Explain how using literature to make cross-curricular content connections aligns to the reading content area standards.
Describe how using literature to make cross-curricular content connections can support differentiated instruction and help to meet the needs of diverse students. Provide specific examples to illustrate your ideas.
Provide an example of a cross-curricular lesson or activity for each grade range (K-3 and 4-8) so teachers understand how connections can be made between concepts and skills. Include discussion of both literature and expository text selections.
Include a title slide, reference slide, and speaker notes. There are no notes required for the title and reference slides, and these two slides are not part of the total presentation slide count.

Acceptable sources include the class textbookand/or peer-reviewed articles from within the last five years.
Part 1: Chapter one of the course textbook discusses what makes the human service field distinct from other fields, such as social work and counseling psychology. For the first part of your thread, discuss why the human service field is a much-needed profession and share one or two possible careers that you might be interested in pursuing. Remember that the Human Service degree is designed to prepare individuals with the necessary skills to participate in agency-related activities (community care, court, agency, etc.) and does not fulfill licensure requirements. Students planning to apply for state licensure should contact their academic advisor for information on degree programs designed to fulfill state licensure requirements.
Part 2: Based on your study of the Learn materials for this Module: Week, what do you consider the most important historical event in the history of the human services profession? Why? While you are sharing your opinion here, you must demonstrate informed opinion by supporting your points with references to the course textbook.

Reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
This week, you will reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
Read this article that outlines basic facts about the current income-based achievement gap: https://www.childtrends.org/blog/the-other-achievement-gap-poverty-and-academic-success
You may also want to review the textbook and/or follow some of the links in the article to explore certain topics in greater depth.
1. Drawing on social reproduction theory, explain why there is such a large achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households.
2. Choose one social condition that researchers feel contributes greatly to this gap (from the textbook or article above). Explain the relationship between that condition and the gap in achievement.
3. Then describe an action that researchers hope will make a difference to that specific condition. Provide an evidence-based evaluation of this claim: will this action alleviate the achievement gap? What are some advantages or limitations of this proposed action?
SHORT EXAMPLE for how to answer #2/#3: Research shows low-income students have fewer books read to them in the early years, and they come to Kindergarten with lower reading-readiness. The proposed solution is to give free books to families along with lessons for parents to encourage reading. This is a great idea because of X, Y, and Z. However, it has limitations A and B.
