This assessment has two-parts. Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.

Part I: The Care In Caregiving Blog

You are an independent professional development consultant in the field of early childhood education and care. You run a popular website for early childhood educators and caregivers, “The Care in Caregiving,” that focuses on issues of culture and diversity. A popular section of your site is the Q&A section, to which teachers and caregivers across the country can write for advice on certain issues.

The questions in Part I of this Assessment simulate the type of questions asked on the blog. Read the questions and respond to each in one to two pages.

Q1

Dear Caregiver Guru,

I have a very diverse set of students in my preschool classroom, and I am committed to learning as much as possible about each of the children and their families. My co-teacher thinks I am wasting my time and that there is simply no way to learn about all of their backgrounds in a thorough and thoughtful manner. Can you provide an explanation I can share with my co-teacher about the importance of learning about children’s cultures on a deep level?

Q2

Dear Caregiver Guru,

I recently moved from a very homogenous suburban school into a very diverse and multilingual urban school environment. I am excited about the dynamic classroom environment and would like to do my best to ensure that all students thrive, no matter what their background. I have heard a lot of discussion about the important role of partnerships between schools or caretakers and families. Can you give me more information about why partnerships between early childhood professionals, schools, and families are so crucial for all children? What are the best practices I can use to engage in this type of interaction?

Q3

Dear Caregiver Guru,

I have a single Muslim child in a classroom that is primarily Christian. The holidays are approaching, and I would like to figure out a way to include the Muslim child in the celebratory environment without imposing religious beliefs on her. While I think it is important for the Christian children to celebrate their own culture, I understand that the Muslim child faces these cultural biases on a daily basis, both at school and within the world at large. What advice do you have for me on how cultural discontinuity might influence the Muslim child, and how I can celebrate both cultures at the same time, without making the Muslim child feel “different” or like a burden?

Part II: Analysis and Recommendations

You are to analyze the following case study documents and make a recommendation to the teacher for how to better integrate Abidah and her family into the center. The analysis and recommendation should be 8 to 10 pages in length.

Case Study Documents

• Document #1: Request for Training
• Document #2: Report from Parent-Teacher Meeting
• Document #3: Teacher’s Weekly Log

Case Study Analysis

• Identify three assumptions the teacher is making about the family’s cultural identity, and explain how these assumptions may influence her interactions with the child and family.
• Based on the teacher’s weekly reports, identify three situations in which the teacher’s unintentional bias and/or lack of understanding may inhibit Abidah’s ability to integrate in the classroom. Explain how the scenario illustrates cultural discontinuity and its impact on children and families.

Recommendations

Write specific recommendations for the teacher in the scenario related to Abidah and her family in each of the following areas:

• Cultural and social identity. Use the Head Start Principle One document provided in this Assessment to guide your recommendation.
• Dual language development
• Partnering with families

Explain the reasoning behind each recommendation you make. Your recommendations should be based on information from the professional knowledge base and credible research related to culturally-responsive practices.

Important! Read First

Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.

Option #1: Gantt and AON Diagram (Figure 6.4 in Project Management Toolbox)

Network diagramming is a logical, sequential process that requires you to consider the order in which activities should occur to schedule projects as efficiently as possible. Remember that all projects have predecessors, or activities, that must/should occur before the next step within a project plan can take place.

Using a project scheduling application, complete the following:

• Construct a linked bar-chart and an AON diagram for the schedule shown in Figure 6.4 of the textbook. Your schedule must include activity relationships, too. Please note that a Gantt chart that shows activity relationships is called a linked bar-chart.
• Then, insert your network diagrams as appendices in a one- to two-page paper, in the main body of which you identify the steps you took in creating the linked bar-chart and AON diagram.
• Document your lessons learned.
• In your narrative, also explain why the project calendar may impact the project end date.

Instruction for Use of Project Scheduling Applications

To complete this assignment, feel free to use any project scheduling software to which you have access. The Program does not mandate the use of a particular software application; therefore, you can use any application that has proper functionalities, including Microsoft Office products such as Excel. Here are some project scheduling software options:

1- Microsoft Project (Links to an external site.): If you choose this option, you need to purchase the application. Trial versions may be available for a limited time (less than 30 days) or might be not available at all. Lynda.com (Links to an external site.) includes many educational videos on Microsoft Project.

2- Primavera P6 (Links to an external site.): A trial or educational versions might be available. Please note, however, that the process of installing P6 is time consuming.

3- You also have the option to use ProjectLibre (Links to an external site.)as an open-source project scheduling application (preferred) or any of the open-source applications recommended at the following link: Top Five Desk Top Open Source Project Management Tools. (Links to an external site.)

4- To draw a precedence diagram only, you can use https://www.draw.io/ (Links to an external site.) (look for PERT under the Business category of charts)

Irrespective of the computer program you choose, instead of submitting the native files, you need to insert a snapshot of your work into your submission or convert what you’ve developed using the computer program to a PDF file, and incorporate that as an appendix to your submission.

Additional Instructions

Be sure to organize your writing properly and include the following:

• Cover page
• Introduction

I’m stuck on a Law question and need an explanation.

Part I:

Assume that you are a young associate working in a small law office in Birmingham, Alabama that specializes in criminal and immigration law. A client, who is from Ireland and unlawfully in the United States, was recently arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm in violation of federal law. According to our client, he lived in a dangerous neighborhood and needed the gun to protect himself as there has been a rash of armed robberies and car-jackings in his neighborhood. You do some preliminary research, and you discover that the Eleventh Circuit has not decided whether unlawful aliens possess Second Amendment rights. You discover that the Fifth and Seventh Circuits, who have both addressed, this issue have reached different conclusions regarding whether the unlawful aliens have Second Amendment rights. Your client would like you to file a motion to dismiss the indictment, arguing that he possessed the right the bear arms under the Second Amendment. Given the state of the law in Eleventh Circuit and the split between the Circuits, how should you proceed? What type of argument should you raise in court on behalf of your client?

Part II:

You work as a law clerk for a federal judge in Birmingham, Alabama. You are researching a legal issue for your federal judge, and you realize that the Eleventh Circuit has not rendered a decision on the legal issue that you are researching. However, you have found a district court opinion from the Southern District of New York that has squarely addressed the legal issue that you are researching. You also find a Circuit opinion from the Fifth Circuit that has reached the opposite conclusion on the legal issue. Without binding authority from the Eleventh Circuit, what recommendations should you make to your judge on how to proceed?

Remember to do both Parts I and II.

Your initial post should be at least (250) words.

I’m working on a Management question and need guidance to help me study.

define and describe the data required for addressing the question that is being asked. As part of your submission, please define the problem being addressed in the setting and why you collected the data that you collected

1. For the past year, you have consistently been short of cash at the end of the month. Prior to one year ago, you always had enough cash. However this is no longer the case. Now you are usually short at the end of the month. As a result you are only making partial payments on your credit card obligations or are making payments late, hence incurring late fees. You want to prepare a budget for the next six months that with the objective of being able to meet your monthly financial obligations each month.

Film Writing: Best Practices

As this course is mainly engaged with film, you will be required to use time markers for each in-text citation: (Title of the Film Hour:Min:Sec) eg. (Batman 01:23:15). Because you will need to reference a fair amount of evidence in your analysis and writing (direct quotes, scenes from the films, articles, etc.), I highly suggest that you watch the film with subtitles on so you are able to write down the exact quote. You are expected to read and watch the entirety of whatever is assigned. If you take notes as you read, you will be much more prepared for the written assignments. Also, remember to save all of your work often and in multiple locations.

I don’t understand this Economics question and need help to study.

Assignment Content

1. Resource

   Corporate Finance

   Purpose of Assignment

   The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student to calculate the project cash flow using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and the payback methods.

   Assignment Steps

   Create a 350-word memo to management including the following:

   • Describe the use of internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV), and the payback method in evaluating project cash flows.
   • Describe the break-even point and its importance.
   • Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

   Calculate the following time value of money problems:

   1. If you want to accumulate $500,000 in 20 years, how much do you need to deposit today that pays an interest rate of 15%?
   2. What is the future value if you plan to invest $200,000 for 5 years and the interest rate is 5%?
   3. What is the interest rate for an initial investment of $100,000 to grow to $300,000 in 10 years?
   4. If your company purchases an annuity that will pay $50,000/year for 10 years at a 11% discount rate, what is the value of the annuity on the purchase date if the first annuity payment is made on the date of purchase?
   5. What is the rate of return required to accumulate $400,000 if you invest $10,000 per year for 20 years. Assume all payments are made at the end of the period.

   Calculate the project cash flow generated for Project A and Project B using the NPV method.

   • Which project would you select, and why?
   • Which project would you select under the payback method? The discount rate is 10% for both projects.
   • Use Microsoft® Excel® to prepare your answer.
   • Note that a similar problem is in the textbook in Section 5.1.

   Sample Template for Project A and Project B:
   
   

   “Table showing investments and returns for Project A and Project B. Project A has $10,000 initial investment with $5,000 returns in each of the first 3 years. Project B has $55,000 initial investment with $20,000 in each of the first 3 years.”
   
   Show all work.
   
   Submit the memo and all calculations.

I don’t know how to handle this Nursing question and need guidance.

Professor and Classmates,

I am currently not enrolled in any nursing organizations. As of recent, a few sorority groups have reached out via email, however at this time I haven’t considered any forms of organizations. I may consider joining the National Association of Nurse Practitioners Faculties and Nurse Without Borders. I have long been interested in returning to school for my graduate degree, as well as volunteering my time. An option I’ve considered by in the past is an organization like Nurse/Doctors Without Borders.

I am currently working in a dialysis center and there is a certification available for RNs. However I cannot sign up for the certification exam until I have reached two years of experience. It is known as the CAP program (Clinical Advancement Program). With this, comes with more responsibility, with an increase in salary. Through this program, nurses are allowed the opportunity to increase their knowledge in the management aspect of dialysis nursing.

In the near future, I hope to return to school for my FNP-MSN degree. I have given this much consideration. Initially, I had interest in receiving my masters degree in nursing education. I always wanted to become a nurse educator later on in the future of my career. However, as of recent, I’ve contemplated going back for my FNP. This is my last semester for my BSN, so planning for my FNP future is in the process. In our reading, it discusses some competencies of leadership as mentoring colleagues and contributing my local community. With an FNP program in my future, I believe I can add to these competencies as an advanced practice nurse (ANA, 2015).

Thank you,

Kelly
