  1. The NAEYC Conceptual Framework for Early Childhood Professional Development explains that a defining characteristic of any profession is a specialized body of knowledge and competencies shared by all its members that are not shared by others. Based on the eight elements identified in the position statement, choose two of the first seven that are of special interest to you and, for each, set and explain a goal for yourself that you believe will further your own growth and learning in this area. Then respond to the last element on professionalism by explaining two ways that you can demonstrate you are making a commitment to professionalism.
  2. From your reading of the article “What Do We Mean by Professional Development in the Early Childhood Field?” summarize key points about professional development from the six guiding assumptions presented on pages 2 and 3. Identify at least one point that offered you a new insight about professional development in the early childhood field and explain why.
  3. According to the article on reflection, “Take a Closer Look,” describe what is meant by reflective practice. Although the article places reflective practice in the context of a school, explain how you could use reflective practice to support your growth as an early childhood professional in whatever setting you may work.

Instuctions:

Working with your assigned group, prepare and submit your analysis of the Merck & Co. (A) case. While your analysis should be submitted in essay format (similar to a research paper), focus on answering the following two questions:

1. Should the performance appraisal system be revised? Why or why not?

2. What changes would you recommend? Provide a clear rationale for your recommendations and carefully consider their consequences.

Guidelines for preparing case studies are contained in the “Learning Resources” file under “Helpful Resources.” For this case analysis, you will also find it helpful to read pp. 183-189 in the text regarding the design of merit pay systems and the Canvas file describing the Hay System of Job Evaluation. While this exercise focuses on performance appraisal, it is important to recognize that the performance appraisal system must ultimately link up with the compensation system for budgeting purposes. – If you need the pages, let me know

Case Study GUIDELINE

A case study analysis requires you to investigate a business problem or situation, identify the causes of the problem, identify alternative solutions, and propose the most effective and actionable solution using supporting evidence.

Preparing and Analyzing the Case

  • Read and examine the case thoroughly. Read the case several times. Take notes, highlight relevant facts, underline key problems.
  • Develop your analysis. Identify the major problem/issue and any secondary problems/issues. Identify likely causes. Why do the problems/issues exist? How do they impact the organization? Who is responsible for the problems?
  • Identify possible solutions. Review course materials, conduct outside research, draw upon your experience.
  • Select the best solution from among alternatives. Restate the proposed solution. Provide strong supporting evidence or arguments. Is the solution realistic and actionable?

Writing up the Case

  • Present the key problem(s) and issues in the case. Develop a sound thesis statement that summarizes the outcome of your analysis in 1-2 sentences.
  • Set the scene. Present a brief background of the important facts and issues in the case.
  • Causes/Analysis. Demonstrate here that you have researched and analyzed the problems in the case. Present your assessment of why the problems exist based on various course materials and research.
  • Outline a limited number of reasonable alternatives. Explain why they were rejected.
  • Proposed Solution. Present the best and most realistic solution here. Explain why this solution was selected over other alternatives. Provide solid evidence or arguments to support your selection. If appropriate, recommend follow-up actions.

Finalizing the Write-Up

Read through your first draft of the case write-up, look for gaps or inconsistencies in content or structure. Proofread and edit your write-up. Run the spelling and grammar check in Word. Ensure proper formatting and compliance with APA style guidelines. Put the draft aside for a few days; then, reread and re-edit. A good write-up usually takes several iterations.

Elements of an Argument

A thesis (your claim or position), is supported by more specific arguments and evidence that will support your position. For instance, you could support your position about the value of distance learning by using the following ideas:

  • Today’s college students need access to education at times and places that are convenient to them, so distance learning may work better than traditional courses.
  • Students need to work on school projects at different paces since their schedules are not steady. Distance learning can allow them to do this.
  • Students who have already been in the work force are well prepared to work independently, and individualized education will work better for them.
  • Distance learning could be more affordable for schools and students than traditional methods.

Each of these ideas would be supported by additional examples and evidence. Some of the evidence could be facts and statistics, but most arguments also need other kinds of supporting information. After all, if an issue could be resolved simply by looking at “the facts,” people wouldn’t be arguing about it. Usually, supporting evidence includes facts, ideas and quotes from experts, examples of cases related to your topic, and quotes from people who are affected by it. For example, the distance learning argument could be supported by information about what today’s college students are like, descriptions of distance learning programs, quotes from reports/articles by educators and researchers, and quotes from students.

Evidence doesn’t work by itself, though. A good argument will explain how each piece of evidence relates to the argument and why the evidence is valuable and credible. For each supporting idea in an argument, the following pieces should appear:

  • Supporting idea (Distance learning allows students to fit college into their busy schedules).
  • Explanation of the idea (Why are students’ lives so busy? Why is it easier to fit distance learning into a busy schedule than it is to fit traditional courses?)
  • Evidence (quotes from students about their schedules, statistics on the number of students working full-time, descriptions of how distance learning programs are set up).
  • Explanation of the value of the evidence (information on the people you’re quoting, comments about what the increasing number of non-traditional students means, explanation of how distance learning is more convenient).

Course Project: Behavior Intervention Plan

Since Week 2, you have been engaging in a series of weekly assignments to help you prepare for the development of a Behavioral Intervention Plan—your Course Project.

  • In Week 2, you viewed a video of the child exhibiting problem behavior and wrote an operational definition of the behavior you observed.
  • In Week 3, you recorded the simple frequency (how many times it occurred) of the behavior you defined in Week 2.
  • In Week 4, you used a more organized observational system (e.g., partial interval, whole interval, monetary time sampling) to get a better understanding of the behavior.
  • In Week 5, you reviewed information gathered from behavioral interviews with the child’s parent and teacher so that, along with the observational data from Weeks 2–4, you were able to identify the function of the behavior.
  • Now, using all of the data you acquired during these weeks, along with information learned via class lectures, discussions, and readings, you will develop a Behavioral Intervention Plan to help ameliorate the incidence of the problem behavior.

Your Behavioral Intervention Plan should also accomplish the following:

  • Draw on content from Weeks 6, 7, and 8.
  • Incorporate concepts of generalization and maintenance from Week 9.
  • Be consistent with the ethical standards explored in Week 10.

Your Behavioral Intervention Plan should be structured as follows:

  • Identify information on the child (provided)
  • Background information on child (provided)
  • Discussion of behavioral assessment, including the results of the functional assessment you conducted in Week 5
  • Detailed description of the recommended intervention, including a review of the literature supporting your intervention
  • The methodology you plan on using (e.g., ABA, multiple baseline design) to evaluate the effectiveness of your intervention

Be sure you develop you Behavioral Intervention Plan using APA formatting. You can find information on scholarly writing in the APA manual and at the Walden Writing Center website. Also see “Policies on Academic Honesty” in Walden University Policies and Information in the Course Home.

To prepare:

  • Review your Assignments and Instructor feedback for all weeks leading up to this point.
  • Search the Internet and available literature for research on behavioral interventions used with children engaging in the target behavior you identified.
  • Consider all of the important components of the project listed above to ensure you incorporate them into your project.
