week 4-Discussion

 

I need initial Post and two replies on other students post. I attached the reply document too. Need by morning tomorrow 

A brief roleplay can teach us a lot about ourselves—as individuals and as members of a team.  This discussion question has you assume the role of a team member facing a slightly dysfunctional team.  After reading the following story, assume the role of the team member and offer your advice using the concepts learned while taking this course.

Here’s the story:

You have just landed your dream job as an insurer at Kaiser Permanente’s claims department. As part of your position, you work in a team of four other insurers and have weekly meetings to discuss updates, strategies, and workload. One of the team members, Helen, has been with the company for over a decade and has extensive experience and knowledge. She has also been quite helpful in assisting you during your orientation, so you are grateful for her continuous support and friendship. However, after six months in your job, you have realized that Helen dominates most of the meetings and becomes a bit aggressive when her suggestions are not accepted by other team members. This has started to affect your team’s performance as you haven’t been able to present an effective strategy to your supervisor lately. While you value Helen as a colleague and team member, you are also aware that you need to prevent further damage to the team. Using some of the strategies mentioned in your Week 4’s resources, explain how you would resolve this situation and still maintain a positive relationship with Helen.

So, what’s your advice? 

Provide a posting of your advice using at least 150 words and the concepts learned while taking this course.  You should post by Wednesday at 11:59 PM, PST and post substantive responses (50 words) to at least two class members by Sunday at 11:59 PM, PST.

Mental Model

Assume you work in Human Resources as a part of the management team for AAA Transportation in Waukegan, WI, which has recently been acquired. AAA Transportation is an interstate trucking company that specializes in transporting wholesale produce in refrigerated trailers throughout the Midwest. The new owners want to make some sweeping changes in the services offered. One of the things that they would like to do is add delivery of nonperishable products, such as canned foods, to their delivery routes, allowing AAA to expand the area they cover and to provide expanded service to their existing customers. They think that, because many of the routes do not require a full load on the trucks, there is room to add the nonperishable goods and provide delivery at a lower rate than the customers are now paying.

 

Two of your coworkers, Vernon and Bud, are resistant to the changes proposed by the new owners. Vernon supervises the company’s drivers and Bud works in the corporate offices. Vernon does not think that it is a good idea to expand out of their core business, while Bud thinks that AAA is not strong enough to compete with existing companies that service the nonperishable foods market (several of whom AAA has had a long history of mutually respecting each others’ customers and routes); they risk alienating long-term customers; and transporting nonperishable goods in refrigerated trailers is inefficient. Both employees have been with the company for more than 20 years and have much influence among the rest of the employees. Management does not want to terminate such long-term and influential employees but need for Vernon and Bud to join the effort to make the company successful.

 

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you define and discuss mental model/mindsets and their impact on you and your two coworkers.

 

Identify the four steps to changing mental models/mind sets and how you could use them to bring Vernon and Bud onto the team.

 

Identify the five forces that influence those mental model/mindsets of your coworkers and discuss how those forces might affect your coworkers’ mindsets.

 

Include examples of what mental models/mindsets are possibly affecting Vernon and Bud’s decision-making processes and affecting their relationship with the company.

 

Analyze your most commonly used mental models/mindsets that guide your decision making in the workplace. How do these models influence your decision making?

First response to Timothy

Cultural distance is a fascinating concept, which outlines how differences in culture, both in standards and applicability, can influence how groups act, interact, and succeed or fail. The idea of cultural distance is simple: cultures have values, beliefs, standards, and approaches to the world which are standardized by the culture’s adherence to, and valuation of, these components. When different cultures become intertwined, typically by sharing a society or community, there may be clashes or differences which undercut the ability to act, and interact, in a cohesive and mutually beneficial manner. To this end, cultural distance is a term used to describe not only the gaps between the various components which define communities in relation to one another, but equally, how these gaps influence how these groups act, interact, and mesh together (or not). To address this, I found an article entitled, ‘The Relevance of Cultural Distance between Patients and Physicians to Racial Disparities in Health Care’ (Somnath, 2006). Specifically, this article addresses how healthcare disparities exist between white and minority communities, even when accounting for equal access across racial lines; the research found that because many minority groups, as well as the white group, typically lives and interacts within themselves, and only interact with members of other groups sparsely, that there is limited trust between said parties (Somnath, 2006). At the same time, this limited exposure means that abilities to communicate effectively and build relationships are minimal, meaning that these communities get lesser health care, because they do not trust medical professionals and the professionals have trouble wading through this distrust and conveying messages or instructions (Somnath, 2006). The real-world implications of this outcome are devastating, with minority groups then suffering worse conditions, more often, and also having manageable conditions become unmanageable due to lack of care or help. The researchers concluded their work by noting that more research was needed, but also stating that their work served as a platform for acknowledging the role of cultural distance in creating health disparities, thereby outlining the need to close these gaps and engender better outcomes.

Second Response to Katrina

Topic 3: Review the Meriden Public Schools: Courageous Leadership and Innovation in Action. Please examine this case from a change leadership perspective. How did the superintendent approach this change? How did he gain buy-in and support? Can this approach be replicated nationwide? Why or why not?

The superintendent suggests in the case video that running public schools traditionally does not lead to any innovation or change. Moreover, he states that any innovation which does not lead to a successful change should be ceased so that another option can be attempted (Edutopia, 2017).

He gained buy-in and support by including the students in the decision making process by process of collaboration (Edutopia, 2017). This approach can definitely be replicated nationwide, if not should be implemented world-wide. Bringing students into the process of innovation and change will make them more willing to comply with any new rules, regulations or procedures. Being listened to and knowing that teachers are taking your view into account makes for a more respectful classroom atmosphere. This is a situation which should be encouraged across the globe.

One other change which the superintendent talks about is the extension of the students’ days while shortening, or making more flexible, the teachers’ days (Edutopia, 2017). It is important that children have a fully-rounded education and that school days do not finish earlier than they should because teachers are mentally exhausted. Allowing teachers to have shorter days so that another can take over is something which should be considered nationwide. Although the children’s days end at the school bell, the teachers have hours more of work to complete. This type of change is sure to gain the support of teachers and parents alike.

1. What was the speech topic and who was the speaker?

2. What was the objective of the speech? (For example, informative, persuasive, special occasion, etc.)

3. Did the speaker use the introduction to tie the entire theme of the speech together? If so, how? If not, what suggestions do you have to accomplish this?

4. Did the speaker use the introduction to get people’s attention in some way? If so, how? If not, what are some ideas for getting the audience’s attention in this speech?

5. Did the speaker use the conclusion to educate the audience on the significance of her/his topic? If so, how? If not, what suggestions do you have for accomplishing this?

6. Was the speaker effective in using her/his introduction and conclusion? If so, why? If not, why and how could she/he improve her/his speech in terms of the introduction and the conclusion?

NOTE: In order to effectively answer these questions, you should be connecting them back to course concepts and the textbook (Ch. 8).

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two. What common themes did you find in terms of the impact of group membership as it relates to mental health and addictions.

Group membership creates a collective unit from which individuals can engage each other in subjective experiences and support each other in the recovery process. The treatment of addiction is not an easy task, and so, it requires an individual to identify himself or herself to a particular group, creating a social identity that one relies on during and even after recovery from the addiction. According to Buckingham, Frings & Albery (2013), the reason for group membership is substantial, in that it creates a support center from which individuals understand each other’s feelings and are ready to work with each other to recover from the addiction problem. besides, group membership promotes the concept of self-efficacy within an individual, enabling one to build confidence and remain optimistic throughout the recovery process. It takes an individual to confide in a group and reveal the inner battles affecting the recovery process. 

Mawson, Best & Lubman (2016) note that social identity is a significant aspect generated through group membership. In psychology, social identity is used to describe the circumstances under which certain people view themselves as belonging to a certain group through the common practices and norms they uphold. Subscribing to a group membership means that one is ready to work with the group members, follow the code of conduct and identify oneself with the practices of the group (Buckingham, Frings & Albery, 2013). In addiction recovery, the creation of a social identity is a sufficient aspect that ensures the addict is able to find comfort in relating to individuals battling with similar issues.  It creates the cycle of self-categorization, thus ensuring that the identity of the group will promote efficacy and enhance the process of behavior change. Even during a relapse, the support from the group will help one get back on track and recover together.

            SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY FOR XYZ COMPANY

XYZ COMPANY places a high value on the safety of its employees. XYZ COMPANY is committed to providing a safe workplace for all employees and has developed this program for injury prevention to involve management, supervisors, and employees in identifying and eliminating hazards that may develop during our work process.

It is the basic safety policy of this company that no task is so important that an employee must violate a safety rule or take a risk of injury or illness in order to get the job done. The time during which employees are participating in training and education activities shall be considered as hours worked for purposes of wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.  The training and education shall be provided at no cost to the employees.  Members of the Safety/Health Committee will be allowed reasonable time to exercise the rights of the committee without any loss of pay or benefits.

Employees are required to comply with all company safety rules and are encouraged to actively participate in identifying ways to make our company a safer place to work.  Supervisors are responsible for the safety of their employees and as a part of their daily duties must check the workplace for unsafe conditions, watch employees for unsafe actions and take prompt action to eliminate any hazards.

Management will do its part by devoting the resources necessary to form a safety committee composed of management and elected employees.  We will develop a system for identifying and correcting hazards.  We will plan for foreseeable emergencies. We will provide initial and ongoing training for employees and supervisors.  And, we will establish a disciplinary policy to insure that company safety policies are followed.

 

 

Letter From The President

 

The purpose of this policy is to create a high criterion of safety all the way through operations of XYZ Company,and to make certain that no employee is expected to work under any conditions, which are risky or unhygienic.

 

We know that each employee has the right to obtain personal satisfaction from their job and the prevention of occupational injury and illness is of such significance to this belief that it will be given top priority at all times.

 

It is our goal here at ZYX Company to begin and maintain complete accident prevention and safety training programs.  Each distinct individual from upper management to the working person is accountable for the safety and health of those persons that are in charge and their coworkers around them, our employee’s.

 

Signed,

                        The Company President

Classroom Assessment

Tomlinson (2009) described differentiated assessment as an ongoing process through which teachers gather data before, during, and after instruction from multiple sources to identify learners’ needs and strengths. In a quality class that is built on the foundation of differentiation, the teacher will infuse a constant stream of assessments (before, during, and after) to help identify student’s needs and to help improve learning. 

Use the information in your text and from the following websites and video to explore definitions, explanations and examples of pre-assessments, formative assessments, and summative assessments.

Instructions

After viewing the resources:

  • Explain the role of assessment as it applies to theoretical foundations of differentiated instruction. 
  • Describe how assessment can be created that evaluates a student’s true knowledge without bias towards language barriers, learning differences, or cultural differences. 
  • Choose one differentiated assessment strategy (either pre, formative, or summative) from the course text (or from the recommended websites or video) and present a rationale for using the assessment to meet the needs of diverse learners and how it will be used to drive future instruction. 

Biotechnology

Assignment details Part 1- (1-2 Paragraphs)

Biotechnology is the use of a living thing or any part of a living thing to make a product or process that improves human life. For this part of the assignment, discuss the following:

• What are some of the examples of biotechnology that have made improvements to your life?

• Describe how 1 of these has made your life better.

• Do you have any concerns with biotechnology? Explain. Part 2-(1-2 Paragraphs) In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved food derived from cloned animals. In addition, these products will not need to be labeled as “cloned” or “from clones” (Black, 2008). The FDA explains that you will not be eating the clone itself. It takes thousands of dollars to clone a food animal such as a cow or pig. Animals that are cloned for improved food production will be used for a breeding program to produce many offspring with the desirable traits for increased meat or milk yield. These offspring of the clones will be fair game for food. Discuss the following:

• Do you think there are differences between a clone and a “normal” animal?

• How do you feel about eating a cloned animal?

• Is your opinion of eating a cloned plant different? Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the largest Phylum in the plant kingdom Plantae. (Note that the Phylum Angiospermophyta may also be called Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta in different classification systems.) These plants have true roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. The roots grow into the soil to anchor the plant in place and take up water and nutrients. The leaves are above ground and act as the main organs for photosynthesis. Stems provide above ground support for the plant and operate as conduits to move nutrients and water throughout the plant. Flowers contain the male and female reproductive organs of the plant. Part 3 (1-2 Paragraph) Plants develop specialized roots, stems, leaves, and flowers to make them better adapted to their environment. People exploit many of these modifications as vegetables. An example of this is the taproot of carrots. The carrot plant stores sugars in the taproot to supply energy for the formation of flowers in later development. People dig up and eat the taproots while the sugar content is still high. Complete the following:

• Describe the anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of one of your favorite plants. Is the structure of your plant a modification from the standard root, stem, leaf, or flower?

• Explain how this structure differs from the standard root, stem, leaf, or flower.

• Compare the plant that you have chosen, its structure, and its function with 1 or more of your classmates’ choices. Part 4 (1-2 Paragraphs) Plants are important for humans in ways other than providing food. Medicines, clothing, beauty, fuel, air quality, building materials, and industrial products are a few of the ways in which humans exploit plants. Complete the following:

• Choose 1 product or benefit that people get from plants (besides food), describe it, and explain how people benefit.

• Which do you think is the most important benefit of plants? Select one and explain. Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used throughout the assignment. Total of 6-8 Paragraphs
