Michelle, Elena, and the Mobile
Manufacturing, Inc. (MM) board of directors know how important it is to
understand the environment in which it is operating. They hired you—a
highly-regarded marketing consultant—to bring a fresh perspective to the
marketing plan. You are scheduled to meet with Michelle and Elena next week to
discuss the environmental conditions that are relevant to introducing the new
product.

As you prepare for the meeting, you
consider all of the possible environmental issues. You recognize that Elena
brings an interesting perspective to the process because she has experience
designing mobile phones for the Eastern European market, and she is pushing for
a new product that can be marketed worldwide. On the other hand, Michelle is
more concerned with the domestic marketplace and is worried that trying to
market a new product anywhere outside the United States—much less
worldwide—could be very risky.

You sit down to start your work on
the marketing plan, and you begin by drafting some goals that the marketing
plan needs to address.

write 750–1,000 words that respond
to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be
substantive and clear, and use
examples to reinforce your ideas.

Walking through the halls at MM, you
ponder the job that lies ahead. Coming out of her office, Michelle spots you
and heads in your direction.

“I’m so glad you’re here,”
she says. “Have you settled into your office?”

“Yes,” you say. “I’m
eager to get started.”

Michelle enters your office and
takes a seat in a chair. “I’m scheduled to make a presentation to the
board at the quarterly meeting next week. I know it’s short notice, but I was
wondering if you could pull together a 30-minute presentation for them?”
she asks.

“What would you like me to
present?” you ask.

“As you know, Elena and
yourself have been brought on to revitalize the product line for the company.
Your role is to create a winning marketing plan that will allow us to
capitalize on the new product that Elena is designing. The board would like you
to discuss some of the issues that you will be considering as you develop the
marketing plan for the new product. I know they’re especially interested in
your thoughts on the global market.”

“That sounds like a great
idea,” you say.

Consider the environmental variables
(i.e., technological, demographic, economic, political, and cultural variables)
that you must include in your marketing plan, and answer the following:

• Which of the environmental factors do you feel is the
  most critical, and why?
• What might someone with an opposing viewpoint think is
  the most important?
  • Given this opposing argument, how would you argue your
    opinion?
• What solutions should be considered as you seek to
  develop a sense of ownership of your plan?
• What solutions would you recommend to the board, and
  why?
• Is a compromise feasible?

The Dual-Language Dilemma

[WLOs: 1, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2]

To prepare for this assignment,

• Read the example of Erin’s language development at the beginning of Chapter 9;
• Complete the Language Development Self-Check;
• Read Many Languages, One Classroom (Oliva-Olson, Espinosa, Hayslip, and Magruder, 2018); and
• Find at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed, or other credible source of information on dual-language learning.

As highlighted in this week’s readings, approximately 20% of U.S. children speak a language other than English (Berk, 2013). In fact, nearly 40 states reported districts that received Title III funding who were implementing at least one dual-language program in the 2012 to 2013 school year (U.S. Department of Education, Office of English Language Acquisition, 2015). Consequently, early childhood professionals need to understand the progression of language development for typically developing children as well as that of children who are dual-language learners.

With that in mind, imagine that you are an early educator working in a toddler classroom preparing for Parent and Teacher conferences, and Erin—described in Chapter 9—is in your class. It’s been your practice to write a developmental summary to collect your thoughts in anticipation of the conversation you will have with each family. In this developmental summary, reflect on how you will discuss Erin’s language development given that her parents have decided to teach Erin both English and Spanish.

Think about and develop a two- to three-page essay on the dual-language dilemma supported with research findings from your text and at least one additional credible resource. Address the following:

• Develop a research-based argument on whether it wise or unwise for Marilyn and Oscar to promote bilingualism.
• Discuss Erin’s mixing of the two languages, indicating if it is the result of confusion or something else.
  • Outline what Erin’s family should expect regarding the impact of dual-language learning on her academic achievement.
• Explain how the trajectory of language development (i.e., phonological, semantic, grammatical, and pragmatic) is different when students are learning more than one language.
• Compare how the age at which a child learns a second language impacts the course of language development.

Offender Crummey is being released from a minimum security facility next month and has been assigned to your caseload. Your group represents the offender’s treatment team upon release. Review the presentence investigation (PSI) and the offender’s home plan. As a team, research the community resources and programs available for this offender, and assess his home plan. Develop a detailed treatment plan with measurable goals and objectives. Remember that goals are broader and more long-term, while objectives are the smaller steps that clients take to meet the overall goal.

Write a paper of 4-6 pages that addresses the following:

• What areas does the offender need to address to be successful upon re-entry? Make sure that the goals you develop for him can be measured.
• What community resources and programs will you draw on for this offender?
• Is his home plan appropriate to ensure a successful re-entry? Identify any changes that you would require before approving it.
• Also, discuss how often you would require the offender to check in with you.
