Unit 8

Your final discussion board will involve evaluating the progress we’ve made toward the goals set by the President’s Commission on Excellence in Special Education after NCLB was passed in 2002.

As you’ve learned, NCLB has been revised and replaced by ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act, which was passed by Congress in December of 2015.

In this final discussion board, like you to participate in a conversation regarding how we’ve addressed the 3 major recommendations on pages 8 and 9 of the report over the past 15 years.

1. Review the recommendations on pages 8 and 9 of the report.

2. View each of the Voice Thread presentations by your peers (the link is located in the Unit 8 Module) summarizing the original findings of the Commission on federal regulations and monitoring; assessment and identification; special education finance; accountability, flexibility and parental empowerment; post-secondary results for students with disabilities and effective transition services; teacher and administrator preparation, training and retention; and special education research and dissemination of information from Block 2 which are posted on Canvas.

3. Using information you’ve learned throughout this semester, evaluate the progress we’ve made toward those goals. How have we changed our focus from process in favor of results? Provide examples of how we have fared in embracing a model of prevention rather than a model of failure? What progress, if any, have we made in considering children with disabilities as general education children first?

4. To receive full credit (15 points) for this discussion board, you must address each of these questions with specific information obtained from the video presentations of your peers along with concrete examples from this course as you respond to the thoughts and ideas of your peers within the forum.

Identify and explain why you chose the specific community you will be reaching. How will you integrate the impact of your experience abroad into your project? With which campus departments, student organizations, or community organizations will you collaborate?

Building Mutual Understanding Essay and Follow-on Service Project Proposal Essay

COMMUNITY IMPACT ESSAYS
The two community impact essays are equally important in the selection of Gilman Scholarship recipients. We strongly encourage you to read the Selection Criterion Community Impact Abroad & Student’s Return Home, carefully review your essay, and ask an advisor, faculty member, or others to proofread your essay for spelling, grammar, and content prior to submission.

1. Building Mutual Understanding Essay

Gilman Scholars represent the United States as citizen diplomats in their host communities; they reflect a diversity of values, beliefs, and opinions that is fundamental to providing a balanced representation of the United States abroad.

Gilman Scholars are expected to contribute to the goal of building mutual understanding by sharing what it means to be an American, learning about the host culture, and building meaningful relationships. (max of 3000 characters)

As a U.S. citizen, how will you represent and share what it means to be an American during your program?

How will you seek opportunities to become more culturally engaged and have meaningful interactions with people and cultures different from your own during your abroad program?

2. Follow-on Service Project Proposal

COMMUNITY IMPACT ABROAD AND UPON STUDENT’S RETURN HOME

The mission of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries by means of educational and cultural exchange.

The Gilman Program plays an essential role in achieving this mission, because study abroad is a form of diplomacy. Gilman Scholars represent the United States as citizen diplomats in their host communities; they reflect a diversity of values, beliefs, and opinions that is fundamental to providing a balanced representation of the United States abroad.

A successful Gilman applicant will articulate how they anticipate contributing to the goal of building mutual understanding by sharing what it means to be an American, learning about the host culture, and building meaningful relationships.

Upon return to the United States, Gilman Scholars have the opportunity to inspire the next wave of students to study or intern abroad through the required Follow-on Service Project.

The goal of the Follow-on Service Project is for Gilman Scholars to increase awareness of study abroad and the Gilman Program among their peers in their home communities and campuses.

A successful Gilman applicant will design a Follow-on Service Project proposal that is feasible, utilizes one’s experience abroad, and connects to diverse groups of Americans.

This week you reflected upon the difference between a “manager” and a “leader” and discussed this concept with your classmates and professor in the discussion board.

In a written essay answer the following questions:

What are the differences between leaders and managers? What characteristics are similar and what are different?
Provide a total of three examples. First, of someone who has great managerial skills. Second, another individual with great leadership skills.

Third, another person with poor managerial skills. These can be made up individuals or examples you have seen without any identifying information. Discuss how the staff of each individual would be affected by the skills of the leader/manager.

Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper.

Support your ideas with at least two (2) sources in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay.

The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the criteria for this assignment.

A 68-year-old client lives alone and is independent with all ADLs, has no restrictions for mobility, and is competent, and oriented x4. The client is on a fixed income, but has enough to manage a modest lifestyle.

The client has family and social supports but is very independent and is proud of her self-reliance. The client’s height is 5’ 6”, weight is 210 lb. / 95.25 kg.

Identify one outcome/goal that is reasonable, measurable and realistic. Identify 1 nursing intervention for the outcome and give rationale for the intervention.

Identify what weakness in the client’s life may be impacting the client’s activity and diet?

What referrals would you make and why?

(Use references for your responses, not just opinion.)

What, if anything, should our American federal or state governments do about economic disparities or representational disparities between and among racial groups in society? Why?

1. The statement should be one sentence, clearly stated.

2. Your essay should show an understanding of the main points and
supporting evidence cited by the required sources: Sowell, Williams, textbook, etc.

3. Research does not consist of finding a sentence that agrees with your (what
you’re trying to prove) and citing it—but neglecting or omitting everything else the
source says.

It consists in reading and considering everything the source has to say—
its arguments and supporting evidence—and incorporating these and changing your
in light of this if necessary.

4. Suggested citation format is MLA. You must include the exact page numbers in
the body of your essay. These page numbers should be included for each bit of
information that you have gotten from other sources than your own thinking.

This clarity will give credit to whom credit is due, and it will be required in papers
throughout college.

If you follow this advice, you will have a better outline and essay.
Clear and Conclusion: 15
Sources Cited: 10
Sources Understood: 20
Coherence: 20
Evidence Supporting Argument: 20
Spelling/Grammar (Subject/Verb Agreement)/Punctuation: 15

Bad grammar hurts the coherence of your essay.
