Describe the strategies you would use to gain the support needed for this issue through individual advocacy.

As leaders in early childhood education we are in the unique position of creating partnerships with the community, organizations, and local government in an effort to promote the needs of the children we are serving. Through a program’s daily operation, we are witnesses to the specific issues that are facing the children, families, and community in which we work. When we highlight and broadcast these issues and advocate for a community’s needs, we are also advocating for increased awareness of the value and professionalism of the field of early childhood education. When we participate in advocating in our field we are further demonstrating that we are professionals that deserve to be valued and respected.

After reading the week’s text, write a reflection in two parts:

Part I

Identify the focus of your advocacy efforts and give an example of an issue you would like to address as an advocate.

  • Identify one individual or group (local policy maker, state-level legislator, corporate leader, etc.) that you can contact for support of your issue and provide a rationale for choosing this individual/group.
  • Describe the strategies you would use to gain the support needed for this issue through individual advocacy.
  • Describe the strategies you would use to attract the support needed for this issue through collective advocacy.
  • Create two talking points (as discussed in Chapter 13) using one concrete example (refer to key term in chapter reading for precise definition) for each point to demonstrate the importance of the issue.
    • These talking points should be appropriate to use when talking to legislators or the media about the issue for which you are advocating.

Part II

Create a Commitment to the Profession Statement. Remember, this is a draft that will continually be revised and modified as new information is acquired. Address the following:

  • Describe how you will advocate on behalf of young children, their families, and the profession.
  • Describe how you will support the development of future practitioners and leaders in the field.
  • Refer to Figure 13.1 “A Professional Continuum” and describe how your efforts will support the field away from unskilled workers and toward paradigm professionals.

The Commitment to Professionalism paper

  • Must be at least two double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted
  • Use the text and two outside sources to support your responses.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.
Discuss why you, as a program administrator, would promote these approaches to assessment in an early childhood program you were administering.

Appropriate assessment strategies have the potential to support children’s individual learning needs, and they can help teachers see evidence of the effect of their teaching, while also providing a measure of program accountability. Additionally, it is also important to realize that assessment practices have the potential to do harm. Just as there are concerns about inappropriate curriculum content and teaching strategies, there are concerns about assessment. NAEYC has created guidelines that specifically address the early childhood professional’s ethical responsibilities to children around assessment. Here are the principles and ideals that focus on assessment in NAEYC’s Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment (Links to an external site.).

To begin this assignment,

  • Read the weekly assigned reading and carefully review methods of data collection including anecdotal records, running records, event sampling, time sampling, checklists, and rating scales. Next, select your three most preferred methods of authentic assessment.
  • Review the following document which highlights the ideals and principles specifically referring to the responsible assessment of young children found within the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment.

Next, in your initial post,

  • Discuss why you, as a program administrator, would promote these approaches to assessment in an early childhood program you were administering.
  • Provide at least one example of the negative consequences for children when programs use inappropriate child assessment tools or strategies (such as using an assessment tool incorrectly or interpreting assessment data).
  • Use the course text and/or one outside source to support your response.

Explain the systems development life cycle and 2 methodologies you could use to develop Healthy Harvest’s store app.

Imagine you have been hired as an information systems (IS) consultant for Healthy Harvest, a grocery store that sources most of its products from local farmers and producers in the surrounding counties. Healthy Harvest operates two brick-and-mortar locations and wants to expand its services online via an app customers can use to order their groceries ahead for pickup or local delivery.

Your client, Healthy Harvest’s owner Joan, is a savvy business owner and technology user but doesn’t know much about the process of developing an information system. She balks when you tell her the estimated time it will take to have the app ready for public use, which also translates into time for which she needs to pay you to complete the product. You realize that you need to explain to her the benefits and value of approaching the project using systems analysis and design methodologies and decide to prepare a presentation to help illustrate the process and concepts.

Create an 8- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that includes comprehensive speaker notes on the following:

  • Explain the systems development life cycle and 2 methodologies you could use to develop Healthy Harvest’s store app. Use diagrams and other visuals that illustrate the processes.
  • Explain the importance and benefits of using a structured systems analysis and design approach on this project. Provide an example to illustrate each point.
  • Describe 2 tasks or deliverables in each SDLC phase you will be working on for this project. Explain why each is integral to the project.
Briefly describe the purpose of each step in the writing process.

POST YOUR RESPONSE TO THE DISCUSSION BOARD

Respond to the following questions in 250 words or more using the PIE paragraph process, and include your own personal experience. To do so, please do the following:

  1. View the videos below and read about the Writing Process (Links to an external site.). https://www.youtube.com/embed/gaMEzd_Vh80 https://www.youtube.com/embed/kx8BJjNHWsE
  2. Briefly describe the purpose of each step in the writing process.
  3. Describe a situation where you used the Writing Process or it could have been useful. Explain the positive or negative outcomes you experienced. And, what you’d do differently today?
  4. Lastly, talk about how you feel about using the Writing Process? Are you ready to try it? Why, or why not? Is there a way I can help you be more prepared or confident in the process? How can we add a more positive spin on writing for our class?

STEP 2 READ AND RESPOND TO OTHER STUDENTS’ POSTS

Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two of them. In addition to any other comments you may have, respond to the following:

  • If their situation is positive, give feedback as to how you will apply their positive experience the next time you are in a writing bind.
  • If the situation is negative, offer two pieces of advice to the situation described in other students’ responses.

Use your personal experience, if it’s relevant, to support or debate other students’ posts. If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support opinions.

Requirements: please follow directions, write you’re own words

What are the similarities and differences in the timing of events between your relatives and you, and what are possible reasons for those similarities and differences?


Lifeline Assignment Instructions

Overview

Society has expectations for when certain events will occur or when certain roles will be filled. Often, these expectations are culturally determined or cohort dependent. This activity will challenge you to think about age-normative expectations for three family cohorts. You will recognize the changing social context through the lifespan and apply knowledge about adult roles to your own family.

Based on interviews with two family members, you will construct three lifelines: one for yourself, and two for family members. Then, you will compare/contrast the timing of important life events and social roles.

Instructions

Choose interview subjects. To construct the lifelines, you should interview your same-sex parent and grandparent (either in person or over the phone). If for some reason you cannot interview these individuals, you should choose another same-sex relative from the same generation (i.e., uncle instead of father, or great-aunt instead of grandmother). If you are uncertain of what to do, contact the instructor.

Conduct the interview in the following manner:

· To introduce the task, say something like, “I am doing an assignment for my class in adult development, and I would like to ask you some questions about your life—the events that were important to you, and any turning points.”

· Begin the question with: “Let’s begin with your childhood, from your early years until 8th grade. As you look back, what were some significant events?”

· For each event, be sure to find out how old the person was at the time.

· “Pick out one event that was particularly important for you during this period of your life. What was it? How did it affect the direction of your life (what happened as a result? What was different?)?”

· Ask the same questions for each subsequent life stage:

· high school years

· young adulthood (18-29)

· early middle adulthood (30-44)

· late middle adulthood (45-64)

· since turning 65

· Ask questions about common life events. Ask your relative about these events if he or she has not already mentioned them. You can ask, “Now let me ask you about some other specific events, and when they happened in your life. How old were you when you…”?

· started school.

· completed school and highest grade.

· experienced a faith conversion.

· got your first job of any type.

· got your first full time job.

· had any significant job changes.

· moved into your own home/apartment (no longer lived with parents)

· went into the military.

· got married.

· had your first child.

· had other children.

· if divorced/remarried, ask about dates.

· experienced significant moves.

· when your parents died.

· retired.

· Discover any more historical events.

· To see if your relative has not yet talked about specific historical events, ask:

· “What were some other important historical events in your life, besides the ones you’ve mentioned already?”

· For each event, find out how old your relative was at the time.

· “Which event had the most impact on you?”

· “How did it affect your life?”

· Thank your relative for helping with this assignment.

Construct the lifelines. After completing the interviews, you’ll need to draw the lifelines. You will construct three lifelines: one for you, one for your same-sex parent, and one for your same sex grandparent. The lifelines should be constructed on one or two pieces of paper. Plot a line from birth to your relatives’ current ages, marking out time at every 10-year intervals. Place along the line all the events your relative mentioned at the ages they took place. For your lifeline, the period up to the present should be written in black ink. Then, plot events that you expect to take place in your future in red ink. You should include normative life events and perhaps a few non-normative events.

Write the summary. After completing the lifelines, write a brief summary (two pages) of your observations. The summary should include:

· Two or three important life events for each of your relatives and how those events impacted him or her.

· A comparison of your lifeline and your relatives’ lifelines. What are the similarities and differences in the timing of events between your relatives and you, and what are possible reasons for those similarities and differences?

Paper format:

· Three lifelines

· Two-page summary

· Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1” margins.

· Sections:

· summary of life events for both relatives

· comparison of your lifeline to your relatives’ lifelines

· Avoid 2nd person pronouns (you, your, etc.) unless you are quoting your participant. First person is allowed for this assignment.

· You must use MS Word and submit your paper to Turnitin in Canvas.

· Name your file as “Last name 235”.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
