Who was your favorite psychology instructor in college? What did you like about him or her? Did your favorite psychology instructor present the material in an interesting and exciting way?
Who was your favorite psychology instructor in college? What did you like about him or her? Did your favorite psychology instructor present the material in an interesting and exciting way? Maybe he or she made you feel that you mattered as an individual. Maybe you found the assignments to be engaging and enjoyable. It is likely that you have a variety of reasons for identifying that instructor as your favorite. It is also likely that those reasons describe several characteristics that deem your favorite instructor an effective instructor.
For this Discussion, review and study this weeks Learning Resources. Search the Walden Library for article(s) on characteristics of effective college instructors and consider why these characteristics contribute to effectiveness. Next, select three of the characteristics researched in the article(s) that you feel are essential for effective psychology instruction. Then search the Walden Library for one article on strategies for developing the characteristics you selected. If you are unable to find an article that describes a strategy for your characteristics, then think of strategies that might be effective in developing those characteristics. Finally, reflect on whether an instructor can be effective without possessing the characteristics you selected.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 an explanation of the three characteristics you selected, and explain why they are essential for effective psychology instruction. Then explain the strategies that you might employ to develop those characteristics. Finally, explain whether an instructor can be effective without possessing the characteristics you selected. Be sure to reference the article(s) you selected from the Walden Library in your post, if applicable.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.
Rural residents often live far from health care providers, telemedicine (in which patients and health care providers communicate visually over the Internet) may be a solution. Do you think this is an adequate solution, or should rural areas give health care providers financial and other incentives to move to their locations? Explain your answer.

Focusing on three of the course themes (government, religion, social class, gender, and geography/climate), compare ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia to explain whether it was more advantageous to live in ancient Egypt or ancient Mesopotamia.
Focusing on three of the course themes (government, religion, social class, gender, and geography/climate), compare ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia to explain whether it was more advantageous to live in ancient Egypt or ancient Mesopotamia.
Suggestion for formulating a clear answer: Instead of describing Mesopotamia and Egypt separately, you should compare Mesopotamia and Egypt in terms of your three selected course themes to explain whether it was more advantageous to live in ancient Egypt or ancient Mesopotamia. For example, if you decide to focus on geography/climate, government, and social class, you should first compare the geography/climate of the two regions, explaining why geography/climate made living in one of them more advantageous than the other one, and then you should do the same for government and social class. Then based on whether the geography/climate, government, and social class was more advantageous in one than the other, come to your general conclusion about whether it was more advantageous to live in ancient Egypt or ancient Mesopotamia.
Identify what legal issues are involved in using greenwashing tactics to market products. Explain how this practice is regulated. Discuss from a business perspective, if the legal marketing of products as being green or friendly to the environment is an ethical practice. If so, what ethical theory would justify this type of marketing?
In the business sector, there is often a conflict between the interests of business organizations in maximizing profits and the publics interest in receiving complete, truthful, and non-misleading information about products that they purchase. A related area of concern is when products are heavily promoted as being environmentally friendly. This practice is known as greenwashing.
Your discussion should address the following questions:
Identify what legal issues are involved in using greenwashing tactics to market products. Explain how this practice is regulated.
Discuss from a business perspective, if the legal marketing of products as being green or friendly to the environment is an ethical practice. If so, what ethical theory would justify this type of marketing?
If you were a marketing executive, would you support the practice of greenwashing? Explain why or why not.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups: · English language learners (ELL): · Students with special needs: · Students with gifted abilities:
Anticipatory Set
Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating students prior knowledge, linking previous learning with what they will be learning in this lesson and gaining student interest for the lesson. Consider various learning preferences (movement, music, visuals) as a tool to engage interest and motivate learners for the lesson.
In a bulleted list, describe the materials and activities you will use to open the lesson.
Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.
For example:
·
I will use a
visual of the planet Earth and ask students to describe what Earth looks like.
·
I will record their ideas on the white board and ask more questions about the amount of water they think is on planet Earth and where the water is located.
Time Needed
Multiple Means of Representation
Learners perceive and comprehend information differently. Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners. For example, you may present the material using guided notes, graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive technologies, etc.
In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning.
Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.
For example:
·
I will use a
Venn diagram graphic organizer to teach students how to compare and contrast the two main characters in the read-aloud story.
·
I will model one example on the white board before allowing students to work on the Venn diagram graphic organizer with their elbow partner.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups:
· English language learners (ELL):
· Students with special needs:
· Students with gifted abilities:
· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):
Time Needed
Multiple Means of Engagement
Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage students in interacting with the content and academic language. How will students explore, practice, and apply the content? For example, you may engage students through collaborative group work, Kagan cooperative learning structures, hands-on activities, structured discussions, reading and writing activities, experiments, problem solving, etc.
In a bulleted list, describe the activities you will engage students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the content and academic language.
Bold any activities you will use in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and higher order thinking questions you might pose.
For example:
·
I will use a
matching card activity where students will need to find a partner with a card that has an answer that matches their number sentence.
·
I will model one example of solving a number sentence on the white board before having students search for the matching card.
·
I will then have the partner who has the number sentence explain to their partner how they got the answer.

Time Needed
Multiple Means of Expression
Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Your goal in this section is to explain the various ways in which your students will demonstrate what they have learned. Explain how you will provide alternative means for response, selection, and composition to accommodate all learners. Will you tier any of these products? Will you offer students choices to demonstrate mastery? This section is essentially differentiated assessment.
In a bulleted list, explain the options you will provide for your students to express their knowledge about the topic. For example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more
summative ways through a short answer or multiple-choice test, multimedia presentation, video, speech to text, website, written sentence, paragraph, essay, poster, portfolio, hands-on project, experiment, reflection, blog post, or skit.
Bold the names of any summative assessments.
Students may also demonstrate their knowledge in ways that are more
formative. For example, students may take part in thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down, a short essay or drawing, an entrance slip or exit ticket, mini-whiteboard answers, fist to five, electronic quiz games, running records, four corners, or hand raising.
Underline the names of any formative assessments.
For example:
Students will complete a
one-paragraph reflection on the in-class simulation they experienced. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding. Students will also take part in formative assessments throughout the lesson, such as
thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down and
pair-share discussions, where you will determine if you need to re-teach or re-direct learning.

What does it mean to incorporate innovation into business practices (as opposed to innovations made through product or service offerings)? How can leaders create a work environment that fosters innovation? Be specific, including what factors are most conducive to facilitating innovation and developing an innovation mindset.
Note: This is a three-part Assignment that is submitted over the course of 3 weeks. This week, you will submit Part 2. You will submit Part 3 in Week 3. Additionally, you will continue using the same document for each submission (renaming it each time you submit). In this weeks submission, you will re-include what you originally submitted for Part 1, you will complete Part 2, and you will leave the placeholder language for Part 3 as is.
For this Assignment, you will continue your role of a consultant who has been brought in to help the leadership of a company struggling to evolve in the current market. You will present a report to the CEO in which you analyze the relationship of creativity and innovation to business practices. For your reference, the scenario that was introduced in Week 1 is included here again.
The companys CEO, Gabriel Marron, has been resistant to change for the past 25 years, and the company recently began losing market share to other competitors. After months of being in denial, the CEO is finally open to considering the idea of implementing innovative approaches to reclaim the companys former position at the top. Gabriel admits that it is simply not in his nature to value innovation. Sticking to tried and true methods has always worked favorably throughout his career, but you are being brought in because that is proving to no longer be the case. In your report, you will draw the connection between creativity, innovation, and business practices.
With those thoughts in mind, construct Part 2 of your report to the CEO with the following section, being sure to incorporate appropriate business examples (as indicated), as well as citations for relevant academic resources from the classroom, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate scholarly sources to support your work.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Return to your Module 1 Assignment Template to complete Part 2 of your report.
BY DAY 7
Submit Part 2 of your analysis of the role of creativity and innovation in business, in which you address the following in a 3- to 4-page business report (excluding references):
Part 2: Incorporating Innovation
What does it mean to incorporate innovation into business practices (as opposed to innovations made through product or service offerings)?
How can leaders create a work environment that fosters innovation? Be specific, including what factors are most conducive to facilitating innovation and developing an innovation mindset.
To support your assertions, do some research and locate at least two examples of organizations that reflect an innovation mindset and employ (or employed) innovation in their business practices. For each example, do the following:
Describe the organization (including what type of company it is, what sector/industry it is in, etc.).
Provide specific examples of how the organization employs (or employed) innovation in its business practices.
Refer to the Week 2 Assignment Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
