A disaster can be an earthquake, flood, fire, explosion, hurricane, or any event that is catastrophic to infrastructure and claims lives. Disasters affect the lives of thousands of people every year. Being prepared for a disaster can reduce fear and anxiety. Being prepared can also help to decrease the amount of losses that can occur. Individuals and families need to know what to do in the event of a disaster like a hurricane ("FEMA," “n.d”). Communities that consist of military bases face different risks related to disasters. They are at increased risk for nuclear accidents and acts of terrorism. For these reasons, disaster preparedness for the families of Hampton Roads Virginia would be necessary for the community health care nurse to provide. Epidemiological Rational for Topic The area of Hampton Road is located on the eastern coast of Virginia. Being a coastal area, Hampton Roads is vulnerable to strong storms and hurricanes. Hampton Roads is one of the top areas in the country at risk for storm surges resulting from a category 5 hurricane. A Category 5 hurricane could cause $39 billion worth of damage to homes and surrounding areas in Hampton Roads ("Hurricanes and Storms...

...Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper Rebecca Byrd Grand Canyon University NRS-427V March 20, 2015 Jen Costello Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Paper Community health nurses have the distinctive ability and knowledge to provide teaching on various health topics within the community. For this teaching experience, this writer chose a home health center which allowed this writer to gather a group of patients 65 years and older, who have been diagnosed with CHF and teach them about heart failure management and how to prevent hospital readmissions. Congestive heart failure is an illness that effects millions each year and with proper management, individuals can still lead a productive life. Prior to the teaching presentation, a community teaching work plan proposal was developed which helped create an outline for the teaching lesson. This paper will review the teaching plan, the epidemiological rational related to CHF, evaluate the teaching experience, how the community responded, and what the strengths of the teaching plan were and areas that need improvement. Summary of teaching plan Teaching about congestive heart failure management and how to prevent returning to the hospital for complications related to CHF, is an important topic to discuss and educate the community about, especially the elderly. The teaching plan developed by this writer estimated the teaching time to last 30 minutes and would take place at Victory Home Care. Between...

The world is changing fast, more people are becoming vulnerable to disasters or are forced to cope with acts of violence, financial crises and growing uncertainty, often without adequate support from their governments. With new challenges to humanitarian coordination, concerns over standards and accountability, more capable states and National Societies exercising leadership over humanitarian response and presenting new opportunities to mobilize the collective resources of the IFRC in non-traditional ways, the IFRC must learn, adapt, innovate, and lead to ensure that we remain relevant and achieve greater impact with our humanitarian work.

...instruction, professional development, and learning communities. Curriculum content and the learning environment are the premise of effective coaching. Collegial coaching has proven to be an asset to many educational institutions. It is the foundation of a teacher’s professionalism and the success of state standards. Implementing a collegial coaching program in a school setting is beneficial when attempting to improve the school’s AYP, student mastery, and teacher effectiveness. The school and staff must have a shared vision and purpose so that the coach can develop a plan of action, workshop of strategies, and effective resources. Many factors mandate coaching; changes in curriculum, dynamics of the school culture, and approaches to teaching. Regardless of the geographic location of the school, the challenges are the same, however the approach may be different. Coaching is effective across the globe. The scope, sequence, pacing guides, and policies are often orchestrated by the teacher to establish or maintain their professional beliefs and objectives. Globally, the expectations of teachers are the same. Transforming the world begins with great teaching. Coaching is a significant global professional development strategy. The search for proficient, competent, and experience instructional coaching professional became prevalent when the federal government mandated that all school districts develop and implement a school improvement plan such as instructional coaching that provided...

...Community teaching proposal is detailed and comprehensive with supportive evidence and a detailed description of barriers and strategies to overcome barriers. Evidence from current literature and statistical / demographic data published on the community thoroughly supports the proposal in all required areas of the work plan. PROPOSED COMMUNITY TEACHING When required, “the Amish are permitted to use modern health care facilities and services including surgery, hospitalization, anesthesia, blood transfusions, and dental work. However, distance, lack of transportation, and cost can serve as barriers to accessing the health care delivery system” (Julia, 1996, p.27). In contrast with modern American culture, health promotion and disease prevention are not priorities among the Amish. Accordingly, immunizations for communicable diseases are accepted, but only about 58% of Amish children have received such immunizations (Julia, 1996, p.32). Furthermore, Amish are generally reactive, rather than proactive, regarding healthcare. Overall, health is highly valued in the Amish culture and they consider their bodies to be God’s temple. Nurses and other healthcare providers must develop open and trusting relationships with their Amish patients. This can start with a focus on family-centered care. Furthermore, the nurse needs knowledge of the Amish belief system and way of life to provide culturally sensitive care. Using empowering strategies will help to make the Amish feel more...

...Abstract The objective of this action plan is to introduce researched based strategies into a fifth grade collaborative classroom to increase students with learning-disabilities academic performance by incorporating brain-based strategies into daily lessons and implementing parental involvement. These students display poor test scores, low motivation and behaviors that negatively impact their learning. The purpose of the plan is to determine if incorporating brain-based strategies would help raise test scores and improve student behaviors. Researched based strategies will be included through the following methods: teaching to the brains natural learning systems, and BrainSMART strategies to increase the students’ ability to retain information. The success of this plan will be measured through examination of students’ Georgia Criterion Reference Competency Test (GCRCT), Quarterly Benchmark Assessments (QBA), a teacher-developed observation checklist, and a parent survey. As a result of this plan students will show an increase in academic performance in reading and math and appropriate learning behaviors. Introduction Although research suggests that the specific teaching of thinking skills is proven to dramatically increase student achievement, these skills are seldom taught systematically in American schools. At the same time, studies suggest that IQ without such specific teaching may account for only 4% to 10% of life success (as cited...

...Planning Before Teaching The community health nurse would first need to assess the area. Learn what areas are at the highest risk for hurricanes and what areas are closest to the many military bases. The nurse would need to become familiar with the area’s current evacuation plan and safe-zone areas. The nurse would need to learn about the warning alerts that may be used in the area and the emergency numbers or radio stations that provide updated information. The nurse would need to prepare information by using power points and pamphlets in different languages and, if applicable, age specific. Information regarding when to evacuate, where to go and what items to have ready in an emergency kit would be included in the power points and pamphlets ("Virginia Gov," 2013). The nurse would need to look into funding and possible donations that might help members of the community put together their emergency kit. Involving area businesses in the planning and possible donation of supplies could be beneficial. The nurse should involve local police, fire and hospitals in the planning. Assessing for a location for the teaching to be given would need to be done. The area for the teaching would need to be large and easily accessible to members of the community. The nurse would need to have language interpreters available during the teaching to ensure that the information is understood by all. The date and time for the teaching would need to be set as well. Setting the date and time for maximum...

...JESUS GONZALEZ CASE STUDY Teaching cases provide teachers an opportunity to discuss solutions for authentic, detailed accounts of events that encourage them to reflect and explore critical issues and then develop meaningful responses. (Taylor, S. & Whittaker, C. 2009) Teachers can learn in a more thoughtful and reflecting manner when given the opportunity to analyze a case and evaluate what actions others have taken when faced with the issues these cases present. (p. 69) It allows teachers to put themselves in the classroom in a virtual sense and look beyond their own preconceptions and face issues that are occurring all over the country. In the teaching case of Jesus Gonzalez, there are several problems that present themselves between the teacher, student, parents and school. Analyzing this case allows me to grapple with issues that are occurring more and more in our communities of multi-cultural diversity. Jesus is the son of a migrant worker and comes from a proud Mexican family steeped in their culture’s traditions. He attends a predominantly white school that has few resources to help with bi-lingual children. The teacher has no experience in working with bilingual children from different cultures. Jesus’s parents don’t speak English well and only let Jesus socialize with other Mexicans or Jamaicans near where he lives. The town is small and there are few Mexicans in the community. Jesus feels stuck between two worlds, one with his family that only speak Spanish...

...Teaching Experience Paper Module 5 Assignment Chantarakhan Patnakha Neal Grand Canyon University: NRS-427V | Concepts in Community and Public Health February 23, 2014 Summary of Teaching Plan The primary prevention and health promotion for cardiovascular disease or heart disease are necessary for the Isabella County, Michigan because of the high rate of this disease. Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart, and the blood vessels including arteries, capillaries, and veins. Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system, principally cardiac disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial disease. The two most common causes of cardiovascular disease are atherosclerosis and hypertension. Physiological and morphological changes with aging alter cardiovascular function and lead to an increased risk of this disease for healthy individuals with asymptomatic problems (Wikipedia, 2014). In teaching summary, it is necessary for the Isabella County to be informed of the high rate of cardiovascular disease for adults age 65 and older. The presentation was held at the community center of Mt. Pleasant, Isabella County during the annual “Together We Can”. It was surprising that the audience participation was 100 percent. Most of them paid attention to the Okinawa big poster, which highlighted how to reach the age of 100 and older without cardiovascular disease. Between...

...your lecturer to the development of your understanding of teaching in a Christian community. What are the key ideas of the writer that have proved particularly insightful for you? Reflect on the contribution of this writer to your thinking in the light of the course material you have studied and your reading of other authors. Due Date: Email Sent: I certify that this assignment is my own work. STUDENT’S SIGNATURE: Parker Palmer has made a significant contribution to my understanding of teaching in a Christian community. Through access to his published works “To Know As We Are Known, The Courage To Teach” and “Let Your Life Speak”, I have been enriched by Palmer’s viewpoints and themes on teacher’s, teaching and community. In many instances I found his viewpoints and philosophies insightful, exciting, challenging, daunting and confronting. In some instances I found his position unrealistic to my experience of teaching while also finding myself disagreeing with what I would see as being his liberal approach to theology. Other author’s including Frisken, Hekman and Van Brummelen, compliment many of the themes explored by Palmer while importantly providing another viewpoint. The key ideas that I have found to be personally insightful are explored in this essay and in brief include; the identity and integrity of the teacher, the concept of selfhood and the undivided self, the nature of the teacher and teaching and the...

...University of Phoenix Axia College 11 Professional Development Plan Shelia Brock There are many things to consider when becoming a teacher. There are also many things to remember once the position of teaching has been reached. Having a professional development plan is something to keep in mind when beginning and going through the teaching experience. By creating this professional development plan I will be able to apply what I have learned in this class to my professional career. Here I will discuss my professional development plans to ensure that all students have a clear understanding that having an education is important and can lead to much success in their future. When many hear professional development plan, they automatically think anything that goes along with work. They will never think that their opinion or thought has anything to do with their professional development plan. Only the individual can assess their own professional development plan and know what areas they need improvement on. Professional development plans can also be tweaked a little bit when assessing it and seeing what areas needs improvement on. In the next five years I plan on completing my Associates degree in elementary education and possibly pursuing my Bachelors. I also plan to continue to work in the position that I currently hold if not assistant, then lead teacher. I also plan to explore to find out what needs to be done for me to possibly begin my own school or some...
