discuss what have you learned about high performance and balanced scorecard/competing forces?
Note that each question is separate and should be answered using bloom’s theory, which is outlined in my original request.
Using bloom’s critical thinking theory please answer each question:
1. Assessing Outcomes:Based on your readings, discuss what have you learned about high performance and balanced scorecard/competing forces? Are measures missing? What measures are superior? (As always, be sure to draw from and cite relevant reference materials)
Based on your readings, what have you learned about high performance and balanced scorecard/competing forces? Are measures missing? What measures are superior?
What is your root cause analysis of what makes an organization high performing?
What is your new idea for making the process better?
2. Define what quality healthcare means from the perspective of Public health
Here’s blooms theory again:
Knowledge: “Here’s what I know about xxxxx after researching the most recent scholarly journals and articles.” Then show what you know or have come to know. Note whether this information is new to you, solidifies your preconceived notions or changes your knowledge set by introducing factors you had not considered. For the Org paper show that you clearly know the organization, how/why it is structured etc.
Comprehension: “Beyond knowing what the scholars are saying about xxxxx, I understand the following dynamics/complexities/intricacies about xxxxxx and the diversity of thought about the issues.” Expand beyond knowledge to understanding. A non healthcare example would be the difference between knowing the names of the planets vs understanding our galaxy.
Application: “To apply the principles from knowledge and comprehension of the issues I can transfer these concepts from theory to practice and demonstrating learning by applying them to a real life situation” Here is a case study that shows application or…..here is my application of xxxxx principles to a real life situation from my experience.”
Analysis: “ My cause and effect analysis is that zzzzzzz drives these issues. This is a root cause analysis” My comparative analysis shows that X compared to Y shows the similarities and differences in the issues. Knowing what causes or drives these issues deepens my understanding of “why” things exist as they do.
Synthesis: “After understanding these issues and the inherent problems I searched for a best practice. I found (citation) is considered a best practice/organizational structure in addressing these problems.” But even a best practice needs improvement. Therefore my new and unique idea, building on best practices, is to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” I researched to see if this is a new idea and whether it has been done/tried. It has/has not.

Edward Glaser (1941) defined critical thinking as “a persistent effort to examine any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the evidence that supports it and the further conclusions to which it tends”. In light of this definition, how does inductive and deductive reasoning play a role in critical thinking and crime scene exploration, investigation and resolution? Is one more effective than the other? Why or why not?

What does Sartre mean when he writes that, “existence precedes essence?”
Answer one of the following questions based in 100 words based on the attach document.
Jean-Paul Sartre, ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ (1946)
1. First, I would like you to think about the central principle of Existentialism. What does Sartre mean when he writes that, “existence precedes essence?” (p.3.).
(Answer the question in your own words. Also find examples in the text).
2. Also, shortly afterwards, Sartre writes, “If, however, it is true that existence is prior to essence, man is responsible for what he is.” What does Sartre mean by this? (p.3-4.)
(Again, answer in your own words, and find examples in the text).
3. When Sartre writes, “Our responsibility is thus much greater than we had supposed, for it concerns mankind as a whole” (4).
What does Sartre mean?
(Again, find examples in the text).
4. For Sartre, why is “anguish” a “condition of action itself?” (p.4-5.). And what does he mean when he writes that, “…action presupposes that there is a plurality of possibilities, and in choosing one of these…it has value only because it is chosen” (4-5).
(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text to support your points).
5. What does Sartre mean when he states that “man is condemned to be free?”(5).
(Find examples in the text, and answer in your own words).
6. Why does Sartre use the example of the student who lives with his mother during the war, and who has approached Sartre for advice? How does this example help to prove Sartre’s arguments about ethics, values, and choice? What does Sartre want to say through this example? (5-6).
(Answer the question in your own words, and use examples).
7. What does Sartre mean when he states that:
:“”Man is nothing else but what he purposes, he exists only in so far as he realizes himself, he is therefore nothing else but the sum of his actions, nothing else but what his life is.” (7).?
(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text).
8. As an ethical philosophy that according to Sartre, is misunderstood for its pessimism, how does existentialism, in fact, provide an “optimistic” view of life? (8).
(Find examples in the text).
9. What is the connection between existentialism and “humanity” (“humanism”)? (9-10).
(Answer the question in your own words, and find examples in the text).
10. Finally, do you find Sartre’s views about existentialism convincing?
And as an ethical theory, how might Sartre’s reading change the way that you view and live your own life today?
Do you agree or disagree with the central arguments of existentialism?

The Final Assignment is a 4- to 6-page paper that analyzes the following case study:
Case Study
Mr. Knightly has been a Special Education teacher at Jackson Elementary School for seven years. Every five years, he must renew his teaching license and, to do that, he must complete 6-semester hours, or 90-clock hours, of Continuing Education during the five-year period. Recently, he took a course called, “Diversity in the Special Ed Classroom.” Having taught at Jackson Elementary School for so long, he felt he had a pretty good understanding of the disproportionate representation of minorities in the elementary school special education classroom. But, his professor discussed a recent Penn State study that indicated that minorities were actually underestimated in terms of being identified as needing special education services in elementary and middle school. The conflicting reports made his head spin. He decided to talk with his co-worker, Ms. Dailey.
Mr. Knightly and Ms. Dailey sat down for coffee in the teacher’s lounge to discuss this discrepancy in reports.
Ms. Dailey: “I think we need to focus on what we can do for all students instead of hoping we get it right in identifying those in need of special supports through special education. I mean, we have federal laws that provide criteria for special education services, but we are still failing to meet the needs of many students.”
Mr. Knightly: “Yeah, I know that there are students who arrive in my class that could probably have stayed in the general education classroom if help had been given in time.”
Ms. Dailey: “Have you heard about Response-to-Intervention?”
Mr. Knightly: “Actually, I just read an article about a school in Florida that has had real success with the program.”
Ms. Dailey: “You know, many of our students’ interfering behaviors impact their success with academics. We may want to consider a combination program that deals with academics, interfering behaviors, and social skills.”
Mr. Knightly: “It sounds like you’re thinking of RTI and a School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) program. If we could bring in a social skills program too . . . .”
Ms. Dailey: “I’d have to do some research, but I believe many SWPBS programs bring in specialized social skill programs under the “Behavior Education Program” in Tier 2.”
Mr. Knightly: “Would you want to work with me to put together a proposal for the school district on bringing in RTI, SWPBS, and social skills training?”
Ms. Dailey: “Let’s get started!”
Prepare a 4-6 page proposal (not including title and reference pages) that Mr. Knightly and Ms. Dailey can present at the next School Board meeting that covers the following topics:
Part I
Introduce the Response to Intervention (RTI) program and the School-wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) program to the School Board members by defining these programs.
Explain the evolution of RTI and its purpose
Explain how RTI meets IDEA 2004 criteria for “Early Intervening Services.”
Explain the purpose of SWPBS
Relate the ways in which the combination of RTI and SWPBS can support student success in academics and promote socially acceptable behaviors conducive to learning.
Explain how the addition of a social skills program to Tier 2: Targeted Intervention (SWPBS) can provide an extra layer of training for socially significant behaviors in the Behavior Education Program .
After providing the School Board with basic information regarding RTI and SWPBS, and discussing the advantages of adding the social skills program to Tier 2 of the SWPBS plan, you will present a demonstration model of an RTI and SWPBS, with a social skills program, to the Board.
Develop a School-Wide Positive Behavior Support plan for Jackson Elementary School. Include the following:
A) Tier 1: Universal Interventions
Devise and operationally define three (3) culturally responsive school rules.
Develop positive reinforcement strategies aligned with the three (3) rules.
Develop consequences for students who do not comply with the three (3) school rules.
Explain how you will teach students the three (3) rules, and how students will earn positive reinforcement (and what those reinforcements will be) and what the consequences will be for not complying with the rules.
Prepare data collection devices to record data from universal screening and continuous progress monitoring to make decisions regarding students’ progress.
B) Tier 2: Targeted Interventions
Summarize the selection process for placing at-risk students in Tier 2.
Explain how RTI can be integrated into Tier 2.
Develop the Behavior Education Program:
Construct a reinforcement system for appropriate behaviors
