Question

Chapter 3 Questions

1.    The building of trust is a major theme in this chapter.  Educators must trust the data, and administrators must trust that their educators are able to use the data effectively.  Give an example of one factor that could serve as a hindrance to building that trust.

2.    A “culture of mutual accountability” needs to exist among teachers, principals, and district personnel if data is to be used successfully to improve education.  How do you think each of these three constituencies is accountable to the other two?

Chapter 4 Questions

3.    Figure 4.1 (page 75 of the text) illustrates the cycle of instructional improvement.  Which step in the cycle do you think serves as a bottleneck to slow down the entire instructional improvement process?

4.    The administration of regular benchmark assessments is one tool schools can use to gauge instructional improvement.  Some schools couple these assessments with pacing plans to ensure the material is being taught at an appropriate pace.  How can school administration balance a pacing plan with teacher autonomy?

QUESTION

Professor instructions: 

Choose two poems and write an essay in which you engage with both poems and compare them.

Analyze the poems themselves, compare the two, and explore how they deal with different personal and social issues. Think about how they use language creatively, how they use imagery and sound. Use evidence from the poems to support your arguments, and if you find it is relevant, you can also quote any of the texts you have read for this course.

This is an opportunity to develop the initial notes that you made into fully-formed ideas and arguments that connect the poems to each other and to the themes of the class. 

Read the poems a few times before you begin writing, and again once you have started working on the essay. It is impossible to extract everyting from a poem in a single or a couple of readings. Going over the poem again and lingering over certain words and certain lines will help you extract subtle meanings that you may have missed before.

Confidentiality & Substance Abuse Information

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

As you have learned, 42 CFR Part 2 governs confidentiality for substance abuse programs. It also outlines the limited circumstances of information about a client’s treatment, which may be disclosed with or without the client’s consent. In this discussion, you will examine the ethical standards that can align with some of the legal issues concerning release of confidential health information of individuals with substance abuse/use disorders.

Imagine that you are a human services professional working with an adult client who is seeking treatment for a substance abuse overdose.

  • Explain at least one way that the limitations under 42 CFR Part 2 for disclosing substance abuse information impact effective information sharing for all parties involved in this scenario.
  • Indicate what might be different if your client was a child and had a parent or guardian. If the patient is a minor, how do you ensure provisions under 42 CFR Part 2 are abided by?
  • If your client has threatened someone, how do you determine if there is a duty to warn those being threatened?

QUESTION

Presentation:

12-15 minutes (NO LESS THAN 12min) 

Edward Surtz. The Praise of Pleasure (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1957), PP. 36-60 ONLY

  • I will provide all sources.

Disclaimer: The grammar I, the presenter, use is not strong. 

I’m hoping you can create a script with concrete ideas from the sources on redirecting the class along the presentation with my words to support it. 

To be clear, it cannot be wordy or complicated grammar, it should flow nicely and the words shouldn’t be crazy complicated. Don’t be misled tho, the ideas should be critical and concrete.

Start with Name of the text and background on author 

First sentence may start with “Author splits the reading into couple of sections”

“I am talking about pages from a book” 

I have been asked to analyze this 

  • It would be good to look at these issues that he raises 
  • Just a couple of more sentences for summary 

Majority of the Presentation

  • What are the important points from having read the article 
  • Where are they ? 
  • Are the arguments valuable? Do they look like a good argument?
