Benchmark – SPD-500 Summative Examination

Part 1: Short Answer Responses

Evaluate the following case studies, identifying IDEA disability categories where applicable. In 100-250 word responses, classify the IDEA disability category that each student may fall under. Provide a rationale for your identification choice that takes into consideration each student’s developmental milestones.

Tomas, Kindergarten

Tomas entered Mrs. Richards’ Kindergarten classroom at the beginning of the school year with great excitement! He showed great interest in learning and being in the classroom with other students. As the school year progressed, however, Tomas’ excitement quickly turned into frustration. He struggled with recognizing the letters in his name, identifying different shapes, and consistently could not follow two-part instructions. He also was dramatically less able than his peers to focus on a task. His frustrations have led to impulsive actions. Mrs. Richards has called a meeting with his parents to address her concerns.

Harper, 3rd grade

Harper attends Sunset Elementary School and has been placed in a class with 25 other 3rd graders. Harper loves her teacher Mrs. Hernandez and struggles when a substitute takes her place. She excels in math and tends to get bored when the other kids in her class struggle. Harper also loves reading about the weather, somewhat obsessively, and can share weather facts and details for hours. She enjoys going to school, but does struggle with the loud noises a school brings. In school assemblies, for instance, she becomes overly upset about the noise level and tends to rock back and forth to calm herself.

 

Austin, 5th grade

Austin was 9 years old when he was hit by a car while riding his bike on the sidewalk. He broke his arm and leg and also hit his head very hard. When he came home from the hospital he looked just fine, but he needed lots of help. Now back at school, there are changes in Austin that are hard to understand. It takes Austin longer to do things and he has trouble remembering. He can’t always find the words he wants to use. Math is hard for him now, but it was his strongest academic area before the accident.

 

Part 2: Essay

Selecting one of the student scenarios in Part 1, address the following prompts in a 750-1,000-word essay:

A.    Describe how language, culture, and family background influence the learning of individuals with the selected disability.

B.     Summarize the cognitive, linguistic, social and emotional development of individuals with the selected disability and three instructional approaches that respond to the needs of individuals with the selected disability.

C.     Support your response with at least three scholarly resources. Prepare this assignment according to the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

    Marketing Plan Phase 3, management homework help

    /in /by

    Now that you have defined your goals and conducted your situation
    analysis, it’s time to create a strategy to help you to achieve your
    goals. Next, you will complete your Marketing Strategy. In the
    Marketing Strategy, the marketing manager defines the company’s
    strategies for increasing sales and gaining a competitive advantage.

    Complete Marketing Strategy by providing 1-2 paragraphs about each of the following items:

    Marketing Strategy

    1. Positioning Strategy: Discuss your strategy for
      positioning and differentiating your product. What market segments will
      you target? What is your value proposition? Discuss how you will
      differentiate your product from similar competing brands.
    2. Product Strategy: Discuss your product and strategy for building a strong brand.
    3. Pricing Strategy: Determine how you will price
      your product or service. Talk about how you expect to remain
      competitive with your pricing and still earn a return on your
      investment. How will your product price compare to the competition?
      Don’t forget to take all of your variable and fixed costs into account
      when defining your pricing strategy.
    4. Distribution Strategy: How do you intend to get
      your product into the hands of the consumer? Incorporate the use of the
      Internet and other technologies in your Distribution Strategy. Also,
      discuss a traditional method for distribution such as, mail, retail,
      sales representatives, etc. Finally, specify the exact distribution
      channel that you will be using. Distribution channels include: direct
      distribution channel (product goes directly from manufacturer to
      consumer), or indirect distribution channel where intermediaries are
      used. An example of an indirect distribution channel would be the
      product going from the manufacturer to the wholesaler to the retailer
      to the customer or from manufacturer to retailer to consumer.
    5. Marketing Communications Strategy: Your
      communications strategy must incorporate traditional methods, as well
      as methods utilizing the Internet and Social Media. Discuss the
      elements of the promotion mix that you will use to promote your
      product.
    6. Marketing Research: Describe your plans for
      market research. What will be your approach and which tools will be
      utilized? How will you conduct your studies and what will you be
      measuring?

    POST 1:

    With health care reform two objectives were being addressed 1) being separate Medicaid from welfare making easier to qualify for Medicaid and the second is welfare policies being more restrictive to those applying (Kronebusch n.d). The basic model for Medicaid enrollment include the characteristics of the family and is based on certain qualifications such as income, family size, head of household and if the family is US citizens or not. The variables included the family’s size and how much was being brought into the home in order to qualify. The evolution of health care policy have impacted many families throughout the years as the range of income status continues to change. With the goal intended to separate welfare and Medicaid it appears more families are being offered healthcare and receiving the necessary health care coverage needed.

    In the state of Nevada our current health care policy based on Medicaid is that the families have option for three choices, two in which qualify families for HMO Medicaid (Amerigroup & health plan of Nevada) based on families choice. With each HMO the family is provided a case worker to ensure the family needs are being met. The policy I would amended are the qualifications for Health Plan of Nevada as it is rarely accepted throughout the state and the families are paying a certain monthly fee but not being provided the appropriate care. I would advocate that more providers qualify to accept Health plan of Nevada and look into eligibility requirements. The stakeholders involved within that decision is the Department of Health care and financing and the Nevada Medicaid task force (NDHHS n.d).

    POST 2:

    takeholders in healthcare policy

    Health care programs and policies have evolved since 1965 when legislation established Medicare and Medicaid. When Medicare and Medicaid was first established it declared that the federal government wouldn’t interfere with clinical medicine (Dewalt, et al 2005). Since then the evolution of medical care, its finances, and clinical medicine has been linked to Medicare (Dewalt, et al 2005). Congress involvement with Medicare and Medicaid begun when concerns with fraud and abuse of the system became evident. Congress still has control over Medicare and Medicaid and it continues to evolve with the Medicaid health reform act or Obama care.

    Michigan has a policy called processing request 10.2 A states that a verbal prior authorization may be requested over the phone. This is only for situations that require amidated correction or diagnosis to prevent further damage. If it is after hour the provider may submit the request for authorization the following day (Michigan Medicaid manual, 2016). The change I would make to this policy is not requiring prior authorization for diagnosing or treating and issue that would create damage to a person. I feel that this could cause a delay in a lifesaving process.

    PROMINENT SCHOLAR CALLS GROWTH MINDSET A CANCEROUS.

    THE PERILS OF GROWTH MINDSET EDUCATION.

    More Specifically:

    • Your essay must include your argument about growth mindset. You can argue that growth mindset is the most important factor in improving student success (taking Dweck’s side) or you can argue that there are other factors that are more important than growth mindset (taking from either Hilton or Kohn). That means you need a thesis that states your answer to the above question and topic sentences that give reasons for your answer. You also need support for your argument in the form of cited material and personal experience.
      • Your thesis may look something like this:
        • “The idea of growth mindset is the most important aspect of improving our education system because….(3 reasons you think so). OR
        • “The idea of growth mindset is not the most important aspect of improving our education system because we need to consider….. (think of what you find more important, probably from the Hilton and Kohn articles).
      • You are required to cite both personal experience and the texts we discussed. When citing the texts, make sure to follow the Incorporating Quotes in Research handout.
      • Your body paragraphs should be formatted as PIEIE paragraphs. Your P should be a topic sentence (reason) in your own words, your I should be personal examples or quotes from the articles and your E should be explanations/analysis that connect back to the thesis.
      • NOTE: Since you are citing the article, and possibly your own sources, don’t forget your Works Cited page.

    9 step assessment process future financial health

    /in /by

    Details:

    Throughout this course you have been preparing separate
    components of a comprehensive 2,500-word financial analysis (excluding
    tables, figures, and addenda) of a chosen company following the
    nine-step assessment process detailed in Assessing a Company’s Future Financial Health.

    There are three parts to the final component assignment of the case study.

    Part One (Case Study Component 4)

    Apply the final three steps of the nine-step assessment process to develop a 750-word analysis of your chosen company: Southwest Airlines

    1. Viability of the 3-5 Year Plan
    2. Stress Test Under Scenarios of Adversity
    3. Current Financing Plan

    Part Two

    Access the three prior component assignments, that you submitted in Topics 2, 4, and 6.
    Integrate these three assignments into the final case study submission
    along with the Component 4 assignment in this topic to provide a
    comprehensive analysis inclusive of all nine steps that flows from start
    to finish.

    Part Three

    Assume that you will be presenting your analysis to a group of senior
    management at your place of employment that urgently needs to know this
    information to make a major financial decision for your company. In 250
    words, develop an introduction to your analysis that can serve as an
    overview. Consider factors that might impede their ability to focus on
    the information you are presenting. For example, some of your audience
    may be pressed for time, another may have a crisis in their work team
    that needs to be attended to quickly, and others may simply not be
    paying attention. You have one chance to impress them; keep your
    overview focused, succinct, and informative. Present only key and other
    potentially relevant points this group needs to know.

    The first thing to note about how the British North Americans and Spaniards of the New World saw race is that their societies had racial hierarchies (Burnett et al., 2018). The Spanish “Sistema de Castas” divided people into racial groups based on their “blood purity” (Burnett et al., 2018). Peninsulares, Spaniards born in Ibera, were at the top, while slaves and “Indios” were at the bottom (Burnett et al., 2018). Mixed raced “mestizos” lacked the privileges of full-blooded Spaniards, but weren’t as disadvantaged as full-blooded Indios (Burnett et al., 2018).

    Meanwhile, in British North America, colonists used Africans and Native Americans as slaves (Burnett et al., 2018). They took more and more of their rights away. In 1643, a law was passed in Virginia that made African women “tithable”, meaning they had to do agricultural labor (Burnett et al., 2018). This was done to separate them from white women, who didn’t have to do manual labor (Burnett et al., 2018). Later, in 1662, a Virginian law stated that all children born of an enslaved woman would be a slave for life, even if the father was white or free (Burnett et al., 2018).

    The second thing to note about how these Europeans viewed race is that they initially did not see race the same way they later would. Most Europeans would not racially identify with Europeans from other countries (Burnett et al., 2018). The idea that race involves an inherited physical difference which categorized Europeans together and separated them from Africans, Asians, and other races, was new (Burnett et al., 2018). It was born from the Atlantic slave trade, and was used to support and justify oppression (Burnett et al., 2018).

    Nowadays, people aren’t so strictly divided into racial hierarchies. There are people of all races who have become rich and enjoy a life of comfort. Even people who are born into disadvantageous situations can potentially rise to the top. At the same time, racism does unfortunately still exist. There are many black people who, while not technically kept down by the law, are trapped in lives of poverty. We also still keep that same idea of race as “inherited physical differences that group Europeans, Africans, and so on separately” (Burnett et al., 2018). While people will of course recognize the difference between a Frenchman and an Englishman, many still see these different kinds of people as “white”, and thus belonging to the same group. Many people even have trouble telling the difference between non-Europeans of different cultures and nationalities, instead opting to lump them all together as one big racial group.
