...Rubric for a Performance Task in Your Lesson Alexandra Hirsch Walden University Instructor: Dr. Gerald Gary Educ-6640J-5/Educ-664OH-5 Part One: Assessment Plan Since I began a career in teaching I have always focused on creating innovative lesson plans and assessment methods geared toward the various student learning styles. This facilitates a plethora of learning opportunities that afford students the ability to develop areas in which they may have difficulty. In order to help my students learn from their mistakes I vigorously record data to ensure I have relevant and objective information to share while giving feedback. When my students successfully complete my assessment tasks it substantiates my belief that finding balance in the utilization of different assessments is crucial. According to the Educational Leadership article, “the goal of a balanced system is to ensure all assessment users have access to the data they want when they need it, which is an effective use of multiple measures.” (Kim, Lambert, and Burts, 2013) As a primary teacher, it is imperative that I consistently incorporate assessments that are not only developmentally appropriate for my kindergarten students but also personally relevant. “Appropriate assessment is an integral and important component of high-quality early care and education programs. Scientifically informed assessment measures are needed to ensure that all children, regardless of disabilities, culture...

Introduction: Maintaining a proactive approach on security requires that an organization perform its own hacking footprinting to see how much information is available to potential hackers. Some organizations do this using internal staff; however, it is much more common to see organizations hire external security consultants to perform these types of security reviews. This allows a truly unbiased outsider to attempt to gather as much information as possible to formulate an attack. Assume that you have been selected as the security consultant to perform a comprehensive security review for an organization of your choosing. Ensure that the organization that you select has a public website that you can access and at least one web application that you can use for this task. You will review the security...
