I’m trying to study for my Management course and I need some help to understand this question.

How to Make Schools More Effective Today

In order to understand the present and predict the future, one must have an understanding of the past. In this week’s introduction, comments were made regarding the work of two well-known and somewhat controversial researchers, James Coleman and Ronald Edmonds. Coleman’s (1966) work focused on the premise that schools do not make a difference in student learning. Edmond’s (1982) work contradicted Coleman’s findings, stating that schools truly do make a difference, if specific qualities are present within the school’s structure. So, thanks to Edmonds, we now believe that, given a school system with certain characteristics, schools can, indeed make a difference! So, what do we do with this in order to make our schools more effective?

Go to the Effective Schools website (Lake Forest College, 1995), and explore it to learn more about Edmond’s work and the current work of the Effective Schools Project. Also, after reading the article, Effective Schools Checklist (Audain, 2007), find information in your reading assignments that will help you answer the following questions: What is the Effective Schools Movement? How did it start and what is its history?

After reading and viewing the history of the Effective Schools Movement, use the information to summarize the elements of the Effective Schools Movement that are present in your school (or if you are not teaching, think back to when you were a student). Note: feel free to use the checklist found in the second article listed above. Also address what you think you can do with this information to make your own classroom or local school more effective.

Post your three to four paragraph responses to the Assignment Dropbox.

Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.Do not forget to include your references and citations.

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

Please make sure you read all the requirements before the work! Here are the original requirements of this work. WILL INVOLVES THE POWERPOINT WORK!

Each of you is assigned a section of Chapter 7 or Chapter 8 in our book. This is NOT a group project. For your assigned section, create a summary in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Make sure to hit all the high points of the reading WITHOUT quoting from the book. Make your PowerPoint slideshow colorful, original, and fun. These should be relatively short presentations, too…no need to have more than a handful of slides. (5-7)

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT use white lettering. I know that this limits your choices in background sometimes. Also, include pictures in the powerpoint. This is educational just for us.

Make sure to include your TITLE of your chapter section.

When you have completed your slideshow, submit it as an attachment to this assignment. If you have difficulties save it as a PDF and attach that instead. If you for some reason could not do a powerpoint and selected to do Prezi submit the link. I believe at this time all students should have powerpoint as we have Microsoft office home through Troy when you sign into email.

Your presentation might be shared with the class to use as a study guide for the Theatre History Quiz.

All the requirements have been uploaded above. And the chapter mentioned above is from the book “Theatre in Your Life 3rd Edition”. If you need the book, I will give you that from the email. This work is very important for me. Please make sure you you did the quality-ensured and original work. Looking forward to your good job. Thank you!

Need help with my Sociology question – I’m studying for my class.

Assessment is a structured approach to gathering and analyzing information about the client system and their story. How is the assessment process different when the client system is an individual or family versus a community made up of individuals and families?

Assessment involves gathering the needed information in order to determine appropriate intervention. Thorough assessment allows social workers to identify the problems that need to be addressed. Complex social problems often mean that both the micro and macro level factors contribute to social work cases.

In this Discussion, you compare differences in the assessment stage at different practice levels.

Post:

• Describe the assessment process as related to individuals and families.
• Briefly identify the types of information it is important to gather.
• Compare how assessment at the macro level is similar and dissimilar than at the micro level.
• Explain how you would gather the needed information at the macro level.
• Identify a situation where a client system (micro or macro) may be reluctant to engage in the assessment process.

Support your post with APA citations to the course text and any other resources used to respond to this discussion. Demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts. Include a full reference of resources at bottom of post.

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

Please respond to both POST1: and POST2: in at least 200 words each. I have also included the professors original post only for reference in answering the students post.

Professors original post:

For this discussion, complete the following tasks:

1. Write your own polynomial division problem.
2. Solve it using long division and synthetic division.
3. Discuss which method you think is better for your example and why.
4. In your responses to peers, compare and contrast your thoughts in analyzing their examples.

Try this notation to make it easier to read:

e.g. Find (x^2+4x-8)/(x-2) using both long and synthetic division

___x + 6____________
x – 2 ) x^2 + 4x -8
-(x^2 – 2x)
——————–
6x – 8
-(6x – 12)
——————-
4 <—————-remainder

(x^2+4x-8)/(x-2)= (x+6) + 4/(x-2)

With synthetic division, you can try this notation:

2 ) 1 4 -8
2 12
——————-
1 6 4

(x^2+4x-8)/(x-2)= (x+6) + 4/(x-2)

POST1:

It’s tough to solve an equation in this format. That being said, I initially like using the synthetic version if the equation is in the right format. If it is being divided by a variable with a degree of one, the process of dividing is simplified in the way the equation looks. Below it is apparent just from looking that I was able to more cleanly layout the problem using synthetic by using a table because it is a more organized and efficient way to go about it.

The process of synthetic is taking the coefficients of the numerator and using the constant in the denominator. Any coefficients in the numerator that are skipped (2x^5+3X^2) must be represented by zeros. Other than that, its as simple as multiplying and adding. Another important step is to negate the constant of the denominator before going through the process.

Long division is very reliable and I also don’t mind doing it this way. As a matter of fact, when I did the same problem using long division I found an error I made in the synthetic solution. It is proven and is much more capable when denominators do not have variables with a degree of 1.

Synthetic Division:

$\frac{(8x^3+6x^2?4x+12)}{x+2}$

	8	6	-4	12
-2	$?$ +	-16 +	20 +	-32
	8	-10	16	-20Remainder

Answer=
$8x^2?10x+16?\frac{20}{x+2}$

Long Division:

______ 8x^2_-10x_+16_________
x +2 ) 8 x^3 + 6x^2 – 4x + 12
-(8x^3 + 16x^2)
————————————–
0 -10x^2

-10X^2 -20x

————————————————

0 +16x +12

– -16x + 32

——————————————————–

-20 = Remainder

Answer=
$8x^2?10x+16?\frac{20}{x+2}$

POST2:

Good evening class,

For this post, I decided to write the equation of (x^2 + 6x – 2) / (x + 3).

For long division:

1 + 3
x + 3 ) x^2 + 6x – 2

– x^2 + 3x

3x – 2

– 3x + 9

– 11

So the answer is x + 3 -(11 / (x + 3))

For synthetic division:

-3 | 1 6 – 2

| – 3 – 9

1 3 -11

And the answer is still x + 3 -(11 / (x + 3)) or I have completed both of these calculations completely wrong, but either way, this is the answer I’m providing.

Overall, I found the long division method to be easier. While I can see the usefulness of the synthetic division, I find it easier for me to mess up. I would need to practice doing it more, but I think I’ll stick with the long division in the mean time.

I’m studying and need help with a Computer Science question to help me learn.

This question consists of two (2) sections: a written paper and a PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this question. Label each file name according to the section of the question it is written for.

Health Information Technology (HIT) is a growing field within health services organizations today; additionally, health information security is a major concern among health organizations, as they are required to maintain the security and privacy of health information. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provides extensive information about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Visit the HHS Website, at www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy, for more information about HIPAA requirements. In March 2012, the HHS settled a HIPAA case with the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (BCBST) for $1.5 million. Read more about this case at www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/enforcement/examples/bcbstagrmnt.html. As an IT security manager at a regional health services organization, your CIO has asked for the following: an analysis of this incident, an overview of the HIPAA security requirements necessary to prevent this type of an incident, and a briefing for management on the minimum security requirements to be HIPAA complaint.

Section1: Written Paper

• Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
  • Describe the security issues of BCBST in regard to confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy based on the information provided in the BCBST case.
  • Describe the HIPPA security requirement that could have prevented each security issue identified if it had been enforced.
  • Analyze the corrective actions taken by BCBST that were efficient and those that were not adequate.
  • Analyze the security issues and the HIPAA security requirements and describe the safeguards that the organization needs to implement in order to mitigate the security risks. Ensure that you describe the safeguards in terms of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.
  • Use at least three (3) quality resources in this question. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
• Create a six to eight (6-8) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
  • Provide the following on the main body slides:
    • An overview of the security issues at BCBST
    • HIPAA security requirements that could have prevented the incident
    • Positive and negative corrective actions taken by BCBST
    • Safeguards needed to mitigate the security risks

The written paper must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include page numbers.
• Use 1-inch margins.
• Use Times New Roman, or Calibri font style.
• Use 12-point font size for the body of your text.
• Spell out numbers (one, two, three, and so on).
• Use double spacing throughout the bod.
• Use the point of view (first or third person) required by the question guidelines.
• Section headings should be used to divide different each content areas (items a-d above). Align section headings (centered) on the page, be consistent, and include at least two section headings in the question.

Section 2: PowerPoint Presentation

Your PowerPoint presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include a title slide, four to six (4-6) main body slides, and a conclusion slide.
• Title slides should include the project name (title your work to capture attention if possible), a subtitle (if needed), the course title, and your name.
• Use spacing that improves professional style (mixing single and double spacing as needed).
• Use a background color or image on slides.
• Use Calibri, Lucida Console, Helvetica, Futura, Myriad Pro, or Gill Sans font styles.
• Use 28-32 point font size for the body of your slides (based on your chosen font style). Avoid font sizes below 24-point.
• Use 36-44 point font size for the titles of your slides (based on chosen font style).
• Limit content per slide (no more than 7 lines on any slide and no more than 7 words per line).
• Include slide numbers when your slide show has 3+ slides. You may place the numbers wherever you like (but be consistent).
• Include appropriate images that connect directly to slide content or presentation content.

I need an explanation for this Writing question to help me study.
