The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 has had an impact on assessment of children with disabilities. School districts must test at least 95% of students with disabilities and incorporate their test scores into school ratings (Wortham, 2012, p. 18). There are some who feel that this measure is important to ensure all children receive a quality education, while others feel that this places students with disabilities at a disadvantage. Which category would you place yourself in and why? Do you feel that research-based programs like Response to Intervention (RTI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) support early intervention for children with developmental delays well enough to hold them accountable for these assessments? Why or why not?

To be honest, my last job was about four years ago when I was working for a call center so my memory of my last performance evaluation, but I will do my best to answer the questions. When they did their evaluation they listened in on one of your calls to see if you were adequately answering the calls’ concerns about their mortgage and if you were not disrespectful or showing any attitudes or tones while doing so. They also ensured you followed protocol when confirming they were the people that could talk about that information on the mortgage so we were not giving out someone’s information. After they listen to the call they would call you to their office and let you know what you did wrong or if you need to fix anything, they also made sure to let you know what you did right and made sure you had positive feedback. I think to keep employees you need also to make sure you are letting them know they are doing good because no one likes to get negative feedback. Do you think that it is important to show positive feedback as well as negative feedback?
In response to your peers, suggest ways to apply the evaluation or evaluation process to future work performance.

My most recent performance evaluation involved a meeting with my supervisor at my current job to discuss my goals, accomplishments, and areas for improvement. They had decided I showed enough initiative and promised to be considered for a promotion and a raise. I went from an entry-level front-of-house staff to a shift lead supervisor. We also reviewed the new things I would have to learn for the new position and what would be expected of me, and my supervisor provided feedback on my performance. It was a helpful process to reflect on my work and set new goals for the future. I also had the opportunity to provide input and feedback on any concerns or issues. My supervisor actively listened and addressed my concerns, ensuring my perspective was valued in the evaluation process. It was a collaborative and constructive experience. This evaluation was super helpful in introducing me to the new role I would soon be undertaking and clarifying my work expectations and priorities. It helped me prioritize my tasks and goals and guided me on where to focus my efforts and how to align them with the organization’s objectives.
Do you think an evaluation is the time to introduce an employee to a new position?
Presidential Election Despite commonly held beliefs about the popularity of presidents, presidents are elected by the Electoral College. This uniquely American institution consists of representatives of each state who cast the final ballots that actually elect the president. The total number of electors for each state is equal to the number of senators and representatives from that state in the U.S. Congress. The District of Columbia is accorded three electoral votes bringing the total number of votes to 538. Thus, the magic number for winning the presidency is 270 votes. Research the most recent presidential election using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet and write a paper on the topic. Include the following in your paper: Identify the major issues of concern to voters and compare how each presidential candidate addressed those issues. Summarize information relevant to the issues and the election.

This morning, multiple cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were identified in your hospital’s pediatric unit. RSV has the potential to spread very rapidly. The director of infection prevention met with the quality director, your manager, a few hours later. They decided to implement a quality initiative that was used by another hospital system last year when a similar identification of RSV occurred in one of their hospitals. What communication strategies would you use to get doctors and nurses to acknowledge that it is essential for them to wear their PPE?How would you customize a presentation on RSV to the public, including families of children currently in the pediatric unit?

Unfortunately, you have observed several healthcare providers not wearing any PPE while caring for RSV patients.
This discussion will help you complete your course project by learning how you can communicate information in your quality improvement report.
