Give an example of a parent conference to explain to the parents the need for a referral for additional diagnostic testing.

 

SAMPLE Parent-Teacher conference scenario:

 

Ms. Mattiuz (teacher): Hello Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Thank you for attending tonight’s conference. It is such a pleasure working with Jodi (student) each day.

            First I would let parents know Jodi’s strengths. Next, I would “encourage parents to share their observations of their child’s learning at home” (Otto, 2014, p. 354).

Ms. Mattiuz: As I have gotten to know Jodi these past few months, I have some concerns I would like to share with you.

Mr. & Mrs. Jones (parents of Jodi): What are they?

Ms. Mattiuz: I am concerned with Jodi’s lack of attention in the classroom and ability to complete her work, which is causing her to fall behind.

            At this point I would show work samples and list the modifications I have made to help Jodi complete her work (Otto, 2014). In addition, the parents would be advised what the norm is for their child’s age/developmental level. I would continue by letting the parents know I have consulted with the school counselor, school psychologist, and the teacher assistance team.

Ms. Mattiuz: Have you noticed any similar behaviors at home?

Mr. & Mrs. Jones: Yes, we have. What can we do to help her?

 

Ms. Mattiuz: We would like to “find out more information” in an effort to offer Jodi the “best possible learning environment” by referring her for further assessment (Otto, 2014, p. 354)

                                             How to become an aircraft mechanic?

 

Specific Purpose: is going to be on educating those who have an interest on becoming an aircraft mechanic, whether it is in the military or the civilian side. I think this is excellent job and great professions; I would like visualize who maybe don’t quite know how to start.        

 

Introduction:

In a letter addressed to his father, Wilbur Wright asserts; “In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks”, (September 1900). This dictates why the handy job needs agility.

 

Body

It is extremely prudent for one to understand what it takes to achieve a mechanic career in the aviation industry;-demonstrate the capacity to acquire and technical and diagnostic skills with ability to achieve accuracy in a hands-on job.

 Precisely, aviation is an ambition that requires consistent willpower to get to the brim with a few requirements before being in the edge.

• Be 18 and over
• Be able to read, write and speak fluent English (should pass tests in each category)
• Join an aviation school
• Get certification from bodies like International Civil and Aviation Organization (IC) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
• Specialize in a mechanic option of your choice (optional)

What to sacrifice;

·         Money

·         Time

Without experience, your skills will only remain in paper. “The awkward truth is that hard work precedes satisfactory earnings” says Kristoff, a news writer. . So, doesn’t focus on money instantly but rather build the skills and money will come naturally.

                             

Conclusion

Having acquired skills and earned adequate experience. It’s time to roll on! Establish a network to help you get a job or start your own training firm if you have the resources. Don’t work alone; be a team player. Working as a mechanic is quite a demanding task, so bargain your way to working part-time rather than full-time. Actually, you will have achieved your goal.

 

Explanation on the visuals used.

 

Visual aids can powerfully help the effectiveness of a speech. Many speeches benefit from having objects, images, key quotes, or data presented in a clear and dramatic fashion. Visual aids vary in kind, but there are similar benefits and tips for dealing with any kind of supplementary evidence that is shown to an audience.  So I have chosen these pictures as a visual Aid, because it will be easier to speak about how to become an aircraft Mechanic.   Also, by the audience being able to have a visual or anybody if have dream to become an aircraft mechanic easy visualizes 

According to this case study, Marvin’s company used parametric and analogy estimation on all contracts which allowed them to use either level 1 or level 2 of WBS. As per client, they would like to see five level structured WBS. The more details of WBS, the more exposure of the project’s pros and cons will be that will allow both the company and the clients to figure out details risks and potential opportunities either for short term or in the long run.

There are number of objective and subjective factors that need to be considered before drawing any conclusion regarding they should bid or not. The following are the very important factors that should be considered in every bid/no bid decision:

OBJECTIVE CONSIDERATIONS

1. Bid Cost Tenability – What will it cost (time/money) to participate in this bid? What is the probability of winning the bid?
2. Profit Potential– Can the company makes a profit on this project?
   1. Does the company have the right expertise and manpower in-house to do this project profitably?
   2. Is this a competitive bid? In order to win, will the company need to bid so low that it loses all profitability?
   3. Historically, what was the company’s profit on projects in this industry or from this client?
3. Payment – Will the customer pay the company in a reasonable amount of time, or will the company fund this project? How long can the company fund it and how will this impact the business?

SUBJECTIVE CONSIDERATIONS

1. Competition Win Impact– Who are the competitors?
   1. Does the company want its competitor to get their foot in the door with this client? Does the company need to win this project simply to keep my “insider” edge with this client?
2. Scope – Is the scope well defined? If poorly defined, will this put a strain on the company relationship with the client?
3. Terms and Conditions – are they too onerous? Will the company expose themselves to a high level of risk?
4. Future Opportunity – If a new client, industry or technology – would the company benefit from this opportunity either in terms of gaining new expertise, experience in a new industry, or developing a new client relationship?

In this case study, although Marvin’s company considered profit potential and future engagement with client but there are no specific information provided on ROI, ‘bid cost tenability’ and/or ‘payment’ layout. Also, some of the subjective matters, for example, ‘competition win impact’ have not given emphasis over the competitive pricing. Also, their analysis and concern was largely focus on ‘release of the company’s cost-structure’ that means non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has largely been ignored for consideration. How come competitors will see the cost structures if NDA is attached w/ the RFP?

ZweigWhite’s (2014) Financial Survey described the competitive advantage over the following criteria that could be another factors to be considered for Marvin’s company’s bidding decision:

1. Smaller firms are more profitable (1-24 employees = 20.9% vs. 500+ employees = 11.8%)
2. Private sector projects are far more profitable (20.5% private vs. 15.3% government) (Often less competitive, with a higher repeat business percentage).
3. Specialized firms are more profitable vs. multi-discipline firms (single – 23.3%, multi – 15.8%)

From the above discussion we can conclude that if Marvin and his team would consider the above factors, a favorable efficient project planning potential would be clearer for both the current and future bidding. If this would not be the case, we would not recommend moving forward.
