...not often reflected in the pedagogies, curriculum and strategies used in represented grade levels and content areas by the education professionals that drive our education system. Recent research has considered the idea that culturally responsive or culturally pedagogical teaching may be the answer to closing the achievement gap created by the absence of cultural awareness. The concept of cultural awareness may be simply defined as an understanding and awareness of the diversity in the classroom (Villegas & Lucas, 2002); however, such a simplistic definition does not recognize the many dimensions involved in the pedagogy of culturally responsive teaching, which for students includes seeing germane links between subject matter and lessons and their experiences outside the context of the classroom and how those links influence what and how they learn. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the many facets that make up the term Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and the impact and implications implementing such a broad concept may have on the education system. While the literature discusses several topics connected to CRT, I will confine this review to the following: (1) CRT Background/Definition (2) The methods of study, the participants involved and the significance of the outcomes (3) and finally No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and mandated curriculum vs. the use of CRT based curriculum. I located the material for my review using databases made available...

...plan. This chapter discusses methods for establishing such systems. In doing so, we echo Worth’s (2012) concern that “nonprofit managers must be committed to performance measurement but should not become overly focused on it to the detriment of delivering their mission’s programs” (p. 157). Performance measurement Process Before engaging in performance measurement, it is vital to understand the level and scope of the process. Measurement can be conducted for effectiveness or performance at the program/project or organizational level. Effectiveness relates to achieving the mission, while performance is a broader concept that considers financial results and other variables related to the overall organization. Once the scope and level of analysis are determined, several questions should be answered about the evaluation process: 1. WHAT is to be evaluated—or assessed for effectiveness? 2. HOW should it be assessed? 129 130 • INTRODUCTION TO NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT 3. WHO is responsible for conducting the assessment? 4. TO WHOM should the results be reported? Budgets and other resource constraints may influence the answers...

...Running head: UBS Financial Services Inc. AN ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PRACTICES UBS FINANCIAL SERVICES INC.: SWOT ANALYSIS Fall 2012 November 20, 2012 Berkeley College Larry L. Luing School of Business Personal Introduction With a month before graduation, a strange feeling of both accomplishment but yet uncertainty overcomes me. I have nested comfortably in a routine that is college and has been my life for the past four years. Change is imminent, the cliff is pronounced, what was once obligatory will be new and strange. As per a requirement for graduating, students of Berkeley College must engage in an internship to gain work experience in the students’ academic background. Being such that accounting was my choice of study; interning for UBS Financial Services Inc., in White Plains, NY, opportune itself with the experience I need. For many students, including myself, the required internship class was the first exposure to an office setting among many things. Prior my experience at UBS, I was not accustomed to: answering clients’ calls, taking messages, or meeting deadlines issued by anyone other than my professors. There was a definite period of adjusting to the work environment, I needed more time in the morning just to fix a tie. I quickly learned that smarts or native intelligence is but half the battle of becoming a professional in the financial services field; to be professional – to present oneself as someone...

...between the quality of graduates produced and what the market demands (Mpairwe, 2010). For this and other reasons, training institutions and employers have accepted the need to seek mitigatory steps to bridge the gap. Among other steps, institutions of learning have introduced internship programmes also referred to as field attachment in some of their degree and non-degree programmes. There has also been the realisation that imparting the relevant practical skills is a partnership between the training institution and the prospective employers through student internships. However, despite these positive intentions, interns on field attachment have faced serious challenges among which are insufficient time and lack of funding for the programmes. It is behind this background that the present study sought to establish the benefits and challenges faced by student interns at the Zimbabwe Open University. The study focussed on two of the university`s faculties: the Faculty of Science and technology and that of Applied Social Sciences. Most of the students on internship were from these faculties. Being quantitative in nature, the study employed the use of the questionnaire to solicit data from the 50 respondents chosen through convenience sampling. Results showed that the majority of the students preferred the attachment programme because it exposed them to the real expectations of the world of work. However, a number of...

...which work experience has come to the fore as an approach to enhancing employability by interrogating recent research and policy related to this agenda. Employability is presented as an on-going debate that cannot be viewed as a finite entity but must move and develop with the market, society and the global situation. In addition the paper closely examines a graduate internship programme in a university in North East England. Comparing and contrasting findings from this scheme, with other examples of experiential learning through work experience, provides some evidence to suggest the value of internships and furthermore supports some formative ideas about how internships might be developed to best serve those taking part in them: interns; employers and universities. Introduction Higher education is said to develop the whole person and an expected consequence of this is that graduates will be highly sought after as employees. However, the current situation globally is that many new graduates are underemployed and higher education institutions are...

[pic] PART – 2 Introduction to the Study 2.1 Rationale Supply Chain Management Department of British American Tobacco Bangladesh Ltd vision is to be the best Supply Chain Management department in Bangladesh. . It’s vital to ensure our supply chain is fit for purpose for the long term. Importantly our approach covers both our own operations and our wider supply chain... To me it’s clearly good business, as well as good stewardship. Supply chains have always needed to be flexible and agile. But there are increasing pressures to adapt faster than before: climate change, more competition and demand for greater business growth, to name a few. The anticipated growth in demand for agricultural products is particularly relevant for us. As the global population expands and economic development generates more disposable incomes, there will be increased competition between crops for energy, land and water. We also expect business to play a greater role in addressing social and environmental issues, through influence and public-private partnerships. 2.2 Background (Description of the Organization/Company): The British American Tobacco Group is one of the world’s leading international manufacturers of cigarettes, marketing its products in almost every country worldwide. It is clear...

...Chapter 33. Professional Communication and Team Collaboration Michelle O’Daniel, Alan H. Rosenstein Background In today’s health care system, delivery processes involve numerous interfaces and patient handoffs among multiple health care practitioners with varying levels of educational and occupational training. During the course of a 4-day hospital stay, a patient may interact with 50 different employees, including physicians, nurses, technicians, and others. Effective clinical practice thus involves many instances where critical information must be accurately communicated. Team collaboration is essential. When health care professionals are not communicating effectively, patient safety is at risk for several reasons: lack of critical information, misinterpretation of information, unclear orders over the telephone, and overlooked changes in status.1 Lack of communication creates situations where medical errors can occur. These errors have the potential to cause severe injury or unexpected patient death. Medical errors, especially those caused by a failure to communicate, are a pervasive problem in today’s health care organizations. According to the Joint Commission (formerly the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, JCHAO), if medical errors appeared on the National Center for Health Statistic’s list of the top 10 causes of death in the United States, they would rank number 5—ahead of accidents, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as AIDS, breast...
