Please read the following case study and complete the questions below.Daniel is a 16 year old boy who is an identical twin. He and his brother Jeff are very close and do most things together. While Daniel excels at sports he believe his brother is much better at most everything. Daniel, his brother, and their two sisters live with their parents in the Midwest. Recently Daniel has been feeling more tired than usual. He thought it was because of his schedule and school work, which he is fairly good at. He gets mostly Bs, but his grades have been slipping of late. One day he fainted while getting ready for a game. His coach called his parents to let them know Daniel was taken to the Emergency Room. While there the doctor decided to admit Daniel to the hospital for observation. At the time he was running a slight fever, his breathing was shallow, and he was sweating. He was also very sleepy and his blood pressure was high. He did have some abnormal laboratory work, but his doctor was not too concerned at present. Daniel also stated that he felt achy.You are assigned to take care of Daniel today and when you walk into his room, his mother and brother Jeff are there. Daniel appears to be sleeping. In your written assignment, respond to the following questions applying the nursing process:Assessment: What type of objective and subjective data can you collect with what you know?

What reflective elements do you see in this artists statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature?
A large part of your grade in this unit is the Writers Statement (See part 2 on your assignment sheet). An artists statement, or a writers statement, is a kind of reflection. In order to craft an effective statement, the artist must first reflect on the work theyve done, the choices they made, and the previous work/experience that led to this moment. For that reason, I want to pause and discuss why we write reflections and what makes a good reflection. This assignment is meant to help you understand the Writers Statement so that you can do well on the assignment.Task:For this assignment, you should first read Reflection Handout PDFActions about comprehensive reflections. Then answer the questions below.What are three lessons/ideas that struck you as important or interesting from the handout? For each one, summarize the idea, then explain what this idea/lesson means to you and how will use it to write your own reflection in this unit.Ive provided guiding questions for you so that you can write an effective Writers Statement in Unit 3. Look over those guiding questions, which can be found in the Final Submission Dropbox. Draw at least two connections between the handout in this assignment and the guiding questions for the Writers Statement. How does this handout help you understand the Writers Statement better?Look at these example artists statements.(Links to an external site.)Focus on some of the longer examples, not the really short ones. These are examples of artists statements; they are similar to writers statements, which you will write. Pick one to discuss:Identify the one you chose.What reflective elements do you see in this artists statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature? The reflection handout might help you answer this question.What similarities do you see between the kinds of things the artist statement addresses and the kinds of things you are asked to address in the Writers Statement guiding questions?In what way does the artist address their previous work or previous experiences in their statement?An artist statement is a specific genre. You are being asked to write a writers statement, which is a little different. Looking over the guiding questions again, in what ways will your Writers Statement be different from this artists statement that you just analyzed?

Give detailed evidence and draw out the keywords from both theory and case. Dont forget that case evidence typically needs to be described (paraphrased) but should include at least a short quote to demonstrate close attention to the case. Self-reflection. Add a concluding sentence that uses keywords from the paragraph sentence and summarizes the idea of the paragraph.In the three body paragraphs, each body paragraph should respond to the following three questions:Which leadership intervention has impressed you the most?How does a leader contribute to the development of this intervention?If you were that leader, do you think you could or would want to develop a different intervention?Conclusion The paragraph is brief (3-4 sentences).

make thoughtful recommendations about how you would propose changes within the sector to increase protection and security.
The purpose of the CIKR Research Project is to have you demonstrate your mastery of the course materials and information presented throughout the semester, perform research, and think analytically and critically.The requirement for the CIKR Research Project is to produce a research paper on one of the 16 critical infrastructure and key resource (CIKR) sectors.The paper is in two parts, and is worth 30 percent of your final grade.Part I (15 points):Provide a thorough understanding of the sector that you have chosen. At a minimum, your paper include the:policiesthat direct and guide the sectorstructureand function of the sectorregulatoryinstruments that determine the standards and procedures; include changes to sector regulation in the post-9/11 erathe vulnerabilities of the sector and its potential threats againstPart II (15 points):The second part of the paper is to research a historical incident that affected the sector. At a minimum, this research should describe the incident and its impact on the sector. It should also identify lessons from the incident that have implications for infrastructure protection and resiliency. Finally, based upon all of the analysis, data, and information resulting from your research, discussions, and conclusions, make thoughtful recommendations about how you would propose changes within the sector to increase protection and security. These recommendations could take the form of new policies, regulations, organizations, and strategies. Be creative and bold.The finished product must be a minimum of ten (10) double-spaced pages, and adhere to the stated policies for assignments. It is suggested you have a balance between both sections, so that each section is about 5 pages, followed by a conclusion that ties both parts of the paper together.The 16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-sectors
Create an instructional alignment between the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and differentiated instruction.
Examine All Children Can Learn. Then, search the web for effective, evidence-based differentiated strategies that are engaging, motivating, and address the needs of individual learners.First, provide five evidence-based strategies:Two instructional strategies (i.e., graphic organizers),Two instructional tools (e.g., technology tool, device or iPad App, Web Quests, etc.),One activity (e.g., Think-Pair-Share).Second, for the two instructional strategies you listed explain how you can alter each to address the classroom needs you designed in Weeks One and Two and how the modification is relevant to the theory of differentiation.Instructor GuidanceWeek 3IntroductionThis week you will:Create an instructional alignment between the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and differentiated instruction.Develop engaging and motivating differentiated strategies that align with Common Core State Standards.Implement instructional plans to promote opportunities for success in differentiated learning environments.Now that youve designed the physical layout of your classroom and have a strong idea of how you will create a positive behavior management system, it is time to get instruction started! With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, schools are holding students to higher standards and requiring more advanced proficiency in graduation requirements. This means that you, the teacher, will need to create engaging and dynamic lesson plans that align with the new standards that also promote opportunities for success in your differentiated learning environment. It is important to point out that the CCSS do not specify how to teach or how to assess; the standards only identify what students should know and be able to do (CCSS, 2014).Discussions BoardsThe Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are meant to provide educators and parents with a consistent and clear understanding of student expectations. While written to address English Language Arts and Mathematics, the CCSS address college and career ready knowledge and skills in preparing students to transition from high school to college. One example of providing multiple means of instruction through differentiation is through instructional technology. The following short video from PowerUP What Works (2013) will help to provide some information that will helpful to you.Other methods of differentiated instructional strategies can be found in Miss Taylor Brooke Stancils Differentiated Instructional Strategies Kit (Links to an external site.) with suggestions for all ages, grades and content area.AssignmentTo begin, this is a three-minute video that clearly explains the purpose behind the Common Core State Standards (CCSS):This video was created by the DC Public School system. As the video explains, one of the purposes of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is to scaffold ideas, starting with a foundation and then gradually becoming more challenging and abstract. Differentiated instruction has a similar conceptual framework as teachers must continually work to identify and implement strategies that work for all students.For your assignment this week you will create a blog that is written in user-friendly terms and is easily understood by other educators, parents, and community stakeholders regarding the purpose of the Common Core State Standards, the evidence-based foundation for differentiated instruction, and how the two methods align. In addition, you will include resources, references, guides, and materials that will contribute to your reading audiences understanding of each topic and how they can be integrated into curriculum material and instructional delivery.ReferencesCommon Core State Standards Initiative.
