...Educational Philosophy Shanaka K. Adams EDU 650 August 03, 2015 Kenneth Powers Educational Philosophy Education is a lifelong process and the foundation of learning is developed during the early stages of our lives. Pre-school and Kindergarten are one of the first places that strengthens children’s capacity for learning and helps to build their academic, social, and emotional skills. As a future early childhood educator, I feel that it is my full responsibility to provide young children with positive learning experiences. Teachers follow students through each pivotal stage of development. At six to eight hours a day, five days a week, you as a teacher are poised to become one of the most influential people in your students’ life (Teach Make A Difference, 2015). It will be my job to be a respectable role-model while displaying a strong enthusiasm for learning to the children I will come into contact with on a daily basis. I feel that children deserve the right to have their basic needs met and receive the highest quality education possible while in the care of their educators. In a few years, I plan to open my own home daycare school teaching students from the early ages of six weeks to roughly five years old. I plan to model each classroom after the multiage classroom format. This model focuses on ensuring the continuity of instructional and interpersonal relations across school years for students, teachers, and parents. Because of the age range, there is an expectation...

...Legal Compliance: “Xerox” By Kenneth Edwards Dr. Ed HRM530 October 30, 2011 Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the strategies that Xerox should implement to achieve legal compliance in the hiring process as it relates to the acquisition on feminine human resources. Additionally, discrimination in the workplace will be evaluated and discussed. Discuss how human resource professionals can ensure that top organizational leaders encourage managers and employees to follow laws and guidelines. Often Human Resources (HR) wants only to educate. By providing corporate leadership with a working knowledge of how to abiding by the federal laws will only cause them to understand what they need to do, but not why they need to do it. A better approach is to modify the prior one. Expressing compliance in dollars and sense will stimulate compliance. Showing them how much money can be lost in litigation for failing to comply puts a tangible value on acquiescence. Once HR has the buy in of leadership, the next step is to educate the employees who will be engaged in the process providing them with the same information previously given to the higher-ups. “Identify appropriate managers with sufficient authority to assure that effective equal employment opportunity and affirmative action plans, programs and practices are developed and implemented, and measured at least annually” (“Fair employment practices,” 2000). Having executive...

A more rigorous definition of a database is a collection of data organized to serve many applications efficiently by centralizing the data and controlling redundant data. (Kenneth C. Laudon., & Jane P. Laudon. 2010, p. 212). School Management System is a large database system which can be used for managing your school's...

...Mearsheimer outlines a new theory of international relations which he calls “offensive realism.” Mearsheimer’s theory is a spin-off of Kenneth Waltz’s neorealism, also known as structural or defensive realism. Mearsheimer follows on the premises of Kenneth Waltz’s theory by deriving the behavior of states from the “structure” of the international system. Mearsheimer outlines five assumptions or premises comprising his theoretical foundation: 1) the international system is anarchic (no world government) 2) all states posses some offensive capability and are thus capable of using force against other states 3) no state can be certain another state will not use force against it 4) survival, territorial integrity, and domestic autonomy are the primal goals of all states and 5) great powers are rational actors (Mearsheimer 2001, pp. 30-31). It is difficult to definitively discern what conclusions Mearsheimer thinks follow from these premises (Wagner 2007, pg. 14). He argues for perhaps three conclusions: 1) great powers have powerful incentives to “think and act offensively with regard to each other…In particular, three general patterns of behavior result: fear, self-help, and power maximization (Mearsheimer 2001, pg.32)” 2) even states that want only to survive end up pursuing hegemony as the ultimate insurance for survival 3) even states that care only about their survival may end up in war. These conclusions constitute what Mearsheimer calls the tragedy of international politics...

The infection is lower in the United States even though, recent survey shows that, in foreign countries, the infection has been steadily increasing. American citizens born in foreign countries are infected with Tuberculosis more than 9 times of the American citizens born in the United States. The Latino/Hispanic born Americans are more exposed to the disease and the cases oh the Hispanics reported was more than 10 percent of the US population. This was reported in the year 1996.

...product after my mother, Jill. One is because I feel my mother’s love is so caring and nurturing and that is what I want my brand to reflect. Secondly, the name Jill is simple and love is simple. Bath essential products are for you to care for your skin deeply and when you are using the product you feel more love for yourself. My product is to get the consumer more in tune with their bodies and skin care naturally. The niche market is target to women ages 14-60 who do not want to spend a fortune for loving their skin. The cost will range from $ 6-$35, which is rather reasonable as opposed of today’s competitors. This may seem as wide demographic age, but I choose this niche market because young ladies from the age of 14 start to care about different fragrances to make themselves feel like ladylike. Ladies from the age of 20-40 focus on their sensuality and pampering themselves after a hard day at work. The ladies from the age of 40-60 want to keep their skin rejuvenated and firm. Imagine this, you wake up in the morning rushing to get the day started with getting two kids off to school with breakfast. Then scurrying to a stressful job (which you should have resigned a while ago). After countless emails and meetings, you get to go home and prepare dinner for your family. After dinner, homework, cleaning and conversing with your spouse, you prepare for our nightly bedtime regimen. This is the best part of the day because the natural...

...Assignment: Background Read the following Case Scenario and then attempt this task Enron: How the Failure of Leadership, Culture, and Unethical Behavior Brought a Giant to its Knees Background A company with humble beginnings, Enron began as a merger of two Houston pipeline companies in 1985. Although Enron faced a number of financially difficult years, the deregulation of the electrical power markets took effect in 1988, and the company redefined its business from "energy delivery" to "energy broker." Enron quickly changed from a surviving company to a thriving one. Deregulation allowed Enron to become a matchmaker in the power industry, bringing buyers and sellers together. Enron profited from the exchanges, generating revenue from the difference between the buying and selling prices. Deregulation allowed Enron to be creative—for the first time, a company that had been required to operate within the lines could innovate and test limits. Over time, Enron's contracts became increasingly diverse and significantly more complex. Customers could insure themselves against all sorts of eventualities—such as a rise or fall in interest rates, a change in the weather, or a customer's inability to pay. By the end, the volume of such financial contracts far outstripped the volume of contracts to deliver actual commodities, and Enron was employing a small army of Ph.D.s in mathematics, physics, and economics to help manage its risk. As Enron's products and services evolved, so did...

...Unlucky Cupid ➶ Prologue ★★★ She is smart, HE's intelligent. She's gorgeous, HE's sizzling hot. She's popular, HE has huge resemblance to a world-wide known teen-age superstar. She's snob but somehow nice, while HE is the gentleman every girl will die for. Will rivalry cross their fate? Or Love will play their lives? He was always mistaken for the popular singer, whom She really hates. Will Her high school life end up just like those typical one's? Or will He make the best or even worst out of it? ➶ Chapter 1: Interference /KATHERINE'S PERSPECTIVE First day of school, sigh. Simula na naman ito ng hectic schedule, little time, less fun, and whatsoever bothersome school works. Pero first day of school sometimes is not that bad, kasi usually pupunta ka lang sa unahan at magpapakilala. Orientations, introductions, chit-chats - yeah, that's pretty much it. Kaya on second thought, I'm going to enjoy this first day lalo na dahil makikita ko na ang aking mga hmm, how should I describe my friends? Loud speaker-like? Loquacious? Nah, pero siguro ganyan nga sila - love ko naman. Ew, korni ko.I guess back na kami sa routine namin. Si Lindsay, medyo brat, madaldal (as I've said), okay naman pag dating sa academics, mabait, at sabihin na nating medyo war-freak. Di sya close sa parents nya gawa ng wala lagi sa bahay nila. So ayun, siguro yun ang dahilan kung bakit parang naging "Play Girl" itong si Lindsay, in other way. Hindi naman talaga. Pero all in all she's one of a kind...

...Access Control, Rights Management, Discoverability, Accessibility and Search. For many, a potential rich-media management crisis is looming on campus, and this impending crisis is only exacerbated by today’s ed-tech trends, which all rely heavily on video to thrive – flipped classrooms, personalised learning, blended learning, social learning, and of course MOOCs. Add the complexity of allowing (and supporting) students and faculty to Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), and you have a recipe for an IT nightmare. According to Kenneth C. Green of The Campus Computing Project: “Fewer than 30 percent of CIOs and senior campus IT officers representing some 540-plus U.S. colleges and universities surveyed by Campus Computing in fall 2012 report that their institution had a strategic plan for content management. For most campuses, a video management strategy is an ‘after the fact’ initiative as opposed to an ‘ahead of the curve’ strategy.” But why should CIOs care about video so much? Because of a few compounding factors: 1. Video is the foundation of the two most important trends in EDU right now a. flipped classroom b. distance education By setting the foundation for video on campus, CIOs can make sure they have solid grounds to expand on these two. 2 .Video is the new PPT. The availability of...

...Running Head: Effectiveness of Juvenile Correctional Facilities Effectiveness of Juvenile Correctional Facilities: Juvenile Crime Kalah Jiggetts Criminal Justice Abstract This paper uses data on juvenile offenders released from correctional facilities in Florida to explore the effects of facility management type (private for-profit, private nonprofit, public state-operated, and public county-operated) on recidivism outcomes and costs. The data provide detailed information on individual characteristics, criminal and correctional histories, judge-assigned restrictiveness levels, and home zip codes—allowing us to control for the non-random assignment of individuals to facilities far better than any previous study. Relative to all other management types, for-profit management leads to a statistically significant increase in recidivism, but, relative to nonprofit and state-operated facilities, for-profit facilities operate at a lower cost to the government per comparable individual released. Cost- benefit analysis implies that the short-run savings offered by for-profit over nonprofit management are negated in the long run due to increased recidivism rates, even if one measures the benefits of reducing criminal activity as only the avoided costs of additional confinement. Since its beginnings in the mid-1980s, prison privatization in the United States has provoked several rounds of congressional hearings and hundreds of articles...

...Assignment 3 – Lisa Benton Case Analysis Jack Welch Management Institute Instructor Ardith Bowman JWI510 June 16, 2013 Introduction Lisa Benton is a Harvard educated MBA who chose to work at the Home care Division of Houseworld based upon the classical marketing training in a structured environment from an industry leader over Right-Away which she had interned at. Benton was informed she would become a product manager within 2 to 3 years, yet was not informed of the importance of her performance in the first year. She was informed that the product manager’s responsibility was to groom his or her associates to be “promotable”. Benton was assigned Deborah Linton as her Product Manager who informed her of her dislike for MBA’s with “MBA’s act like they know a lot more than they do” and “the only way to learn is on the job and your formal education won’t help you.” Ron Scoville, the Associate Product Manager and team member, shared the same sentiments with Lisa. Linton made it clear to Lisa that she was ‘going to have to prove herself like everyone else.” There would be no special treatment because she was a Harvard MBA. Linton informed her she should feel free to stop by her office if she had any questions and she was to report to her and not to Ron Scoville, the Associate Product Manager and team member. She also was informed she would get objectives for her job which she never received and later learned Linton was recently promoted and it was thought that Linton exhibited...

...Introduction In this era of globalization, multinational companies play an important role of the economy development. As a result, consumer behavior, which includes how consumers think and feel and the physical actions that result from those decisions and feelings, becomes more and more important for the marketers. (Michael R, 2010) Consumer behavior has changed rapidly over the past decade. To meet the needs of consumers more effectively, accurate market segmentation is necessary. One of the most well known theories of human motivation is Maslow’s hierarchy, which gives five basics of human needs. From the low-level to high-level are physiological needs, safety and security needs, social needs, ego needs, and need of self-actualization. (David, D, 2007 )Everybody have their personal picture or image of themselves, some products or brands are match their self-image but some are not. Before join in a market marketers should research the consumer’s self-image and have a great understanding of how and why the product and brand match the consumer’s self-image. As the worlds’ largest developing country, China becomes the most attractive country for the foreign competitors. At present, more and more multinational companies have established their corporation and relationship in China. (Warren S, 2007) Our topic is focus on the difference of consumer behaviors between Australia and China. We will analyze the topic on the basis of segmentation, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and self-images...
