Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation for school faculty and staff that explains the components and legal requirements of transition planning under IDEA.
Assessment Description
All special educators who teach secondary students will be required to create transition plans that are meaningful and appropriate for the student. Transition plans go one step further than the IEP by adding specific goals and services that will help the student be successful after graduation in future education and training, in the community, and/or in the work force. Being able to write an effective transition plan is a legal requirement for high school special education teachers.
Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation for school faculty and staff that explains the components and legal requirements of transition planning under IDEA.
Address the following within your presentation:
Describe each of the required components of a transition plan according to IDEA.
Complete a transition plan for Alex using the data provided in the “Case Scenario: Alex,” sharing each transition plan component as an example.
Describe 2-3 strategies that promote successful transitions for students with disabilities.
Identify 2-3 collaboration strategies that are useful when working with students, families, and IEP teams to create transition plans for students with disabilities.
Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.
The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
Support your findings with 3-5 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Determine the current price for a share of Gemini Pulse Inc.
Alexandra Goldman recently took her company, Gemini Pulse Inc., public through an initial public offering (IPO). She is expanding the business quickly to take advantage of an otherwise unexploited market. Growth for her company is expected to be 40% for the first three years and then she expects it to slow down to a constant annual 15% thereafter forever. Gemini’s most recent dividend per share (D0) was $0.75. Based on the most recent returns on pure play stocks, the company’s beta is determined to equal 1.35. The market risk premium is 8.3% and the risk-free rate is 4.8%.
(a) Determine the current price for a share of Gemini Pulse Inc.
(b) Assume that you plan to buy a share of the Gemini stock today and to hold it for 3 years. Your expectations are that you will receive a dividend at the end of each of the next 3 years. If your expected annual rate of return does not change, how much should you be willing to sell the stock at the end of year 3?

Do you think FEMA was ready for a disaster such as Superstorm Sandy?
Assignment 2: Final Assignment
Receiving Aid and Support during Emergencies

On the basis of you knowledge and understanding of the process of receiving State aid under FEMA and your knowledge about the conditions during Superstorm Sandy, answer the following questions:
Do you think FEMA was ready for a disaster such as Superstorm Sandy?
What were some of the challenges faced by FEMA with regard to its response to Superstorm Sandy?

Individuals in the public health sector are often called upon to be the first responders within twenty-four hours of a bioterrorist attack. These first responders must take steps to remain safe while doing their jobs. One way to accomplish this is by using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). However, in some cases, the first responders may not have adequate training to use the PPE correctly. In other cases, the proper PPE may not be readily available in quantities that are required to protect all first responders. On the basis of your understanding of this topic, answer the following questions regarding the above scenario:
What other issues that may occur when using PPE?
What are your suggestions to overcome these issues to ensure that all first responders are safe when responding to a bioterrorist attack? How would you implement these suggestions?
Working with other agencies can often help to gather the manpower necessary to treat an influx of patients. In times of disaster, individuals from these agencies may need to act as traditional first responders. However, in case of an outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, these individuals may be hesitant to potentially put themselves in danger.
On the basis of your understanding of the topic, answer the following questions:
What fears or reservations may these individuals from other agencies have about acting as traditional first responders?
How would you eliminate these fears in an effort to obtain the man power necessary to treat the influx of patients? Provide suggestions. Be sure to justify your response with factual support.
What would you do if you were unable to eliminate these fears?
The rest of the world has had numerous experiences in dealing with attacks involving chemical weapons. Since the United States has not had any significant experience with attacks involving chemical weapons, the experiences of Europe or Israel can be used as a guide for preparing the healthcare industry in the United States for such events.

On the basis of your readings, answer the following questions:
How can the events that occur in Europe and the other parts of the world assist us in securing our healthcare industry in the United States in preparing for attacks involving chemical weapons?
In terms of the characteristics of each country such as the population and availability of resources, what are the similarities and dissimilarities between the United States and the United Kingdom? How will these similarities and dissimilarities affect the way the two countries plan for a disaster scenario?
The use of training exercises in preparing for disaster scenarios is an important component of any emergency preparedness plan.

What are the advantages of conducting training exercises at regularly planned intervals? Why? What are the advantages of conducting training exercises at random and without warning? Why?

Discuss the various types of ADR, and provide an example of how ADR might work to resolve a healthcare conflict.
Medical Law And Ethics
Probably the worst way to resolve a conflict between a patient and a healthcare provider is going to court. Court is extremely time consuming and expensive, and it typically results in destruction of any relationship between the involved parties. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can be a better option in many cases. Discuss the various types of ADR, and provide an example of how ADR might work to resolve a healthcare conflict. Which types are most or least effective, and why?
Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.
Assignment: Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim
Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.
More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.
To Prepare:
Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources. Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare. Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.
To Complete:
Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.
Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:
Patient experiencePopulation healthCosts Work life of healthcare providers
Rubrics:
Write a brief analysis of the connection between evidence-based practice and the Quadruple Aim.
