  Report: Inclusion of the arts in K-12 curriculum in an era of sharply limited resources

  $50.00

  Including the fine arts in a K-12 curriculum is a controversial issue in educational institutions and local school settings. Some educators and administrators view the arts as a “frivolous” appendage to the overall school program. Others believe they are an integral part of developing well-rounded individuals and contend that the arts support academic achievement. Since the arts are not included in high stakes testing, communities in support of fine arts programs are finding it difficult to justify the resources and time allocated for music, art, and drama when offered. In higher education, over the years, fine arts departments have built extensive community outreach programs for the local schools. Times are such that there is intensifying talk involving reducing the budget for such outreach programs. While these programs have relied less on actual dollars, the institutions acknowledged the work of faculty and staff in advancement programs and considered such support and outreach as a kind of monetary investment. As an instructional leader, you are being asked to develop a program that addresses inclusion of the arts in an era of sharply limited resources. You are to present to your immediate supervisor and ultimately the educational community a clear and thoroughly researched report with recommendations regarding this program

  1. What process in the creation of this plan would you use to identify and select the appropriate stakeholders?
  2. What are the curricular, instructional, professional development, and program evaluation issues that must be considered and addressed?
  3. What are the economic, legal, and ethical issues, implications, and ramifications of a plan as related to staff and a diverse student body?

  Importance of rigor in education: Should educational rigor be a national or local responsibility?

  $50.00

  “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) created a good deal of focus on curriculum, instruction, and accountability through high stakes testing. The Common Core Standards have extended the focus of curriculum. However, unlike NCLB the Common Core are not accepted by every state for inclusion in the curriculum. Discuss and articulate your position regarding educational rigor related to student assessment and accountability. Should educational rigor be a national or local responsibility?  Support your ideas by providing examples that have been presented in your reading, from research, and/or through your course work.

  PROJECT PROPOSAL ACTIVITY

  $21.50

  Guidelines: This assignment requires you to post an original thought and respond to one of your classmates thoughts. In total, you will need to make two posts. Your original thought must be at least two paragraphs in length with five sentences in each paragraph (should include a FULL citation (not just a web link – see info on “sources” below). Your response post must be at least one paragraph in length with five sentences (does not need a citation). While the original post should include a citation, please remember that this is not a formal academic paper and your postings should retain a “discussion” flavor.

  Topic: You are a hired to assist the human resources director of a local hospital. He has hired you to help him revamp the performance management system specifically for the nursing staff working in the obstetrical department. The current process is to conduct an annual performance review using a traditional 12-item graphic rating scale (some with behavioral descriptions) that measures aspects of work such as attitude, quality of performance, productivity, attention to detail, job knowledge, reliability, and availability. The form also provides room for comments by supervisors and employees. There have been numerous complaints about the process from both employees and supervisors that it seems like a waste of time, does not provide good feedback, and does not sufficiently assess their performance under the team approach they use when delivering babies.

  Original Post: The HR director is looking for your assistance on three items: 1. How would you proceed with the task of modifying the performance management process? 2. What two specific performance management strategies should be implemented that would yield the greatest improvements? 3. What might be some obstacles in implementing the approach and how will you overcome these problems? Your original discussion post should respond to each of these 3 questions.

  Sources: To receive full credit, you must cite at least one academic or government source to support your position in your original thought post. Please do not cite your book – this assignment requires you to do additional work. The following websites are not appropriate academic citations: Wikipedia.com; Ehow.com; Ask.com; About.com or anything in the same genre.
