What reflective elements do you see in this artist’s statement? What kind of things do they discuss that are reflective in nature?

A large part of your grade in this unit is the Writer’s Statement (See part 2 on your assignment sheet). An artist’s statement, or a writer’s statement, is a kind of reflection. In order to craft an effective statement, the artist must first reflect on the work they’ve 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 Writer’s 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.I’ve provided guiding questions for you so that you can write an effective Writer’s 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 Writer’s Statement. How does this handout help you understand the Writer’s Statement better?Look at these example artist’s statements.(Links to an external site.)Focus on some of the longer examples, not the really short ones. These are examples of artist’s statements; they are similar to writer’s statements, which you will write. Pick one to discuss:Identify the one you chose.What reflective elements do you see in this artist’s 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 Writer’s 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 “writer’s statement, which is a little different. Looking over the guiding questions again, in what ways will your Writer’s Statement be different from this artist’s statement that you just analyzed?

Which leadership intervention has impressed you the most?

Individual Leadership Intervention Reflection Paper: 20 pointsIn the past few weeks, you practiced observation skills by watchingInvictus, a movie that tells “the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country.”Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.While watching the film, you were instructed to pay special attention to the factors relating to group dynamics for teams, pick up three aspects from the following list as the roadmap in your three body paragraphs.Leader’s behaviors,Communication Patterns,Conflict resolution style,Power styles,Problem-solving,Decision-making style,Creativity,Power, Social influence,Diversity,Culture.You were also instructed to identify interventions developed by different leaders in the film.Every student writes his/her own paper (800 words) to reflect on the following three questions:Introduction: The introductory paragraph is usually brief (3-4 sentences). Simply introduce Levi’s theory or concepts in a general way. Include the leadership theory andthetheorist’s name/authors’ name, the authors’credentials, educational background, and expertise.You might include when it was developed if this is relevant, and you might list the parts or categories. Be sure to include citations for any background information you use. End your introduction with your thesis statement.Background: Write one fairly short paragraph to summarize the case or situation. Summarize the movie’s background information, Nelson Mandela’s biography (from another credible source) and simply introduce the plot about the situation and the context (who, what, where, and when the story happens) and highlight the names of the main people involved. Don’t forget the movie’s citation.In body paragraphs: find a keyword/name/situation from the movie then integrate with the leadership theory of the textbook(Levi, 2017)Explain how the specific theoretical terms help you explain the problem or issue in the movie. Give detailed evidence and draw out the keywords from both theory and case. Don’t 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). Just restate your thesis (in a new, fresh way) and any conclusions you have drawn. Do not make any recommendations or add any new pieces.APA 7thed. Format & At least four references.

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 you’ve 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 Stancil’s 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.

What are industrial control systems (ICS)?

Weekly discussions must be completed on time and written in APA rules.What areindustrial control systems (ICS)? How can you Protect Critical Infrastructure from insider threats? Tell us about five different critical infrastructures. How are they at risk? How can you protect the five infrastructures you picked?Please provide at least two references to support your answersManagingRisk: Tools and Methodologies; Assessment and Countermeasures Critical Infrastructure Sectors Transportation and Water and Wastewater SystemsEmbedded in much of your readings about the various CIKR sectors is the continuing issue of risk. It is an everyday occurrence and we get it in many forms, uses, and contexts. As homeland security professionals and as members of the concerned public trying to keep up with current events, you cannot assume you fully understand a topic as serious as this one without something more than a dictionary definition of the word. Floods, fires, storms, tornadoes, and other forms of natural disasters, as well as those created by mankind, all create huge risks for us. Now you are beginning to understand how risk, threat, and warning are an important part of our lives.This week we are going to focus onmanagingrisk. To manage risk, you first have to know how to access risk, and how it is important to think intuitively about the countermeasures (mitigation) that are important to the viability, durability, and resilience of our infrastructure. Recent events have shown how vulnerable our infrastructure is, but it has also shown what happens in other areas (like Puerto Rico) that’s infrastructure is fragile and where it takes many months and a significant amount of money to rebuild roads, bridges, and electrical systems. Though the Minneapolis Bridge collapse happened 10 years ago, it is a good example of how fragile some of our bridges are in our transportation infrastructure. We will also be looking at another sector, water and wastewater.Read in the classroom:Minetree, P. (2017, December 27) Risk.Read:
