It is all too easy to simply think that providing a child with the necessary tools and information will suffice; however a lack of coherent instruction on how to use these will leave them no more developed than without them. So is this simple analogy a good starting point for differentiating between roles and responsibilities? Roles being something tangible; a curriculum, a learning guide, a set of facts and figures; whilst a responsibility is the explanation of how these tangible resources can be effectively used. Or is this what and how too simple? Without the consideration of a when, a where, a why or any other probing question, is it really possible for a child to grasp the whole purpose of their learning process? If we take a step back from the microscope and the deep analysis of the fabric of teaching we then must consider the different aspects of imparting all...

...Roles & Responsibilites Projects of different sizes have different ways and requirements on how the people are organized. In a small project, little organization structure is needed. There might be a primary sponsor, project manager and a project team. However, for large projects, there are more and more people involved, and it is important that people understand what they are expected to do, and what role people are expected to fill. This section identifies some of the common (and not so common) project roles that may need to be required for your project. Analyst. The analyst is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of the business clients are captured and documented correctly before a solution is developed and implemented. In some companies, this person might be called a Business Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, Systems Analyst or a Requirements Analyst. Change Control Board. The Change Control Board is usually made up as a group of decision makers authorized to accept changes to the projects requirements, budget, and timelines. This organization would be helpful if the project directly impacted a number of functional areas and the sponsor wanted to share the scope change authority with this broader group. The details of the Change Control Board and the processes they follow are defined in the project management processes. Client. This is the people (or groups) that are the direct beneficiaries of a project or service. They are the people for whom the...

...Responsibility and its Role in Education NAME CLASS DATE INSTRUCTOR Responsibility and its Role in Education “Personal responsibility.” people have heard it a thousand times before. A dreaded image instantly comes to mind. Follow the rules and meet obligations. Freedom, lost! These are some of the negative thoughts conjured up in the mass mind when discussing personal responsibility. Even though society should be generally responsible for the common good, personal responsibility is essential in maintaining the integrity of a person’s character. What personal responsibility begins with is accountability for an individual’s wellbeing. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally, as well. When a person stops blaming people, places, and things for what happens and takes an active role in the direction life assumes, this would be the foundation of personal responsibility. Success in higher education relies heavily on a person’s practice of personal responsibility. “Academic-integrity responsibility is defined as ownership of integrity through attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that support the role of the entire academic community” Miller, A., Shoptaugh, C., & Wooldridge, J. (2011). As society has evolved over time, government has increased exponentially in size. Each generation has become more accustomed to assistance programs. This has led to an increased level of self-entitlement and lack of personal accountability. The degree that standards have weakened...

...The Roles and Responsibilities of the Teacher There are many roles and responsibilities of the teacher, these have somewhat changed from my experiences at school. Teachers would stand at the front of the classroom and deliver a lesson using only the blackboard and chalk. The teacher was considered the knowledge fountain. As I explore the various roles and responsibilities of the teacher I will show the importance of ensuring the student is given varied tools and opportunities in order to learn and progress through education and life. A teacher is not just someone who delivers curriculum content to learner's. The responsibilities stretch as far as safeguarding children. For example if I thought a student was suffering abuse at home or was homeless it is my duty to report this to the safeguarding representative in college. I as a trainee teacher have a duty of care over my students and understand the duty of care expected of me as a teacher. Teaching needs to be a varied environment upon which learner's can experience different 1 learning strategies. This could be through group work or discussion based, whichever way the teacher deliver's the lesson the end outcome is generally more positive from the learner's point of view. The teacher has a very important moral responsibility, one that in the end is all that matters and that is to give students the knowledge and opportunities...

...HR Roles and Responsibilities MGT/431 December 19, 2011 Chris Forscutt Human Resource Management is one of the most important areas in any organization. The Human Resources department of any organization provides a very important service to the organization. Human resources are a multi-layered layered area that must be dealt with carefully. In this paper I will discuss exactly what Human resources and Human Resource Management are. I will also discuss the changing role of Human Resource Management in response to changing trends in globalization, technology, e-business, diversity, and ethics. As I stated earlier Human Resources and Human Resource Management are very important to an organizations success. The first thing that I need to do is to define exactly what Human Resources Management is. Human Resource Management can be defined as “the policies, practices, and systems that influence employee’s behavior, attitudes, and performance” (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & P.M. Wright, 2007, "Introduction"). Human Resources can be defined as the support systems responsible for personnel sourcing and hiring. Human Resources are a very complex process that covers several different areas. Human resources cover not only hiring, but it also covers application tracking, skills development and tracking, benefits administration, and compliance with government regulations. The Human Resources department is a critical component of employee well-being in any organization. ...

...HR Roles and Responsibilities Jennifer Hoff MGT/431 June 27, 2012 RALPH APUAN HR Roles and Responsibilities “Human resource management is critical to the success of organizations because human capital has certain qualities that make it valuable.” Employers put a great deal into recruiting, interviewing, training, and retaining their staff. Employee training, compensation, and retention are important to have a stable and safe workplace. However, as times have changed employers have changed the way employees are managed and retained. In the age of all the new technology and how employers interact with employees and how employees interact with one another. Take Google and Facebook for example integration of working teams has become a large if not the main workplace culture. Both global companies offer a service worldwide, social networking and a search engine tied together with social networking has become genius for the founders and teams of both companies. It used to be 10 or 15 years ago the boss or the human resources manager placed and advertisement in the paper or online to recruit for a job opening, candidates would come in to the office, make a phone call, or fax in their resumes and applications. How times have changed; those days seem to be long gone. Present day recruiters and HR managers place adds on job boards and the internet through various networking and internet sites to reach the most qualified candidates. Google and Facebook are alike in many ways;...

...The labor force in the United States has not changed by much in the past ten years as far as the age distribution goes (Bureau of Labor Statistics). While there haven’t been many changes in age for the labor force, the ethnic diversity has seen a good jump in numbers. With new policies in place and organizations trying to be fair with their equal opportunity/equal employment factor, human resource personnel have been busy making this happen as long as the proper qualified personnel take the job. One change that has affected human resource personnel is quality of employees to staff correctly. To apply for a good position in an organization, a person usually has to have a degree or at least a good history of work experience in the related field. Sometimes the work experience doesn’t mean much in these current changing trends and organizations prefer someone who knows their job by learning it in a classroom. Employers are looking for candidates that show a good sense of teamwork also referred to by many as “a team player”. HRM analyzes this and knows that everyone wants a team player because it makes everyone’s job easier and an organization flows smooth. It’s all about the consumer and HRM personnel know this. Keeping a team player on board also makes for a good person who can speak with clients if needed. Back when there were no computers, all paperwork would have to be done by hand and stored in a file, locked, and secured so that personal information wouldn’t be mishandled...

...Roles and Responsibilities in Special Education Melinda Harper Grand Canyon University Special Education Program Development and Funding 523 Dr. Justina Kwapy July 16, 2014 Roles and Responsibilities in Special Education The world of education is anything but static. It is in a constant state of change with everyone hoping to do the greater good for our children. Roles and responsibilities of those who help the children continue to grow and evolve, and educators learn how to manage the diverse classrooms of today. The roles and responsibilities of those educators who are contributing to the education of our students with special needs have evolved over time. Considering how the Romans treated those with disabilities by leaving infants outside to die, or Greek philosophers made grave statements that they should not exist, to even earlier years in the U.S. creating institutions named, State Asylum for Unteachable Idiots, I feel that the world of special education has come a long way and still continues to grow in a positive manner. With the growth and progress that is being made students are no longer sent to institutional homes or facilities. Many families are caring for their special needs children. There are schools that are for special needs students that offer supports and services to the students, but many students are returning back to their home (local) schools. Teachers are receiving more education and extra training to better meet the needs of the...

...Correctional Subspecialties Roles and Responsibilities Psychologists generally work in the private sector with patients who are in need of psychological evaluations, treatments or interventions when necessary (Bartol & Bartol, 2012). A psychologist who works primarily in the correctional system may hold the title of forensic psychologist or correctional psychologist. The correctional psychologist responsibilities are more in line with the needs of the institution and the individuals incarcerated while being the primary mental health provider (Magaletta & Verdeyen, 2005). The educational training standards vary somewhat between a psychologist who does not have a specialty and a correctional psychologist. The correctional psychologist’s education involves a more in depth curriculum relating to the roles required of a correctional psychologist such as inmate screenings and assessments, or the intervention during a crisis within the correctional facility. Competency of correctional personnel through assessments and treatment when necessary is another role the correctional psychologist provides (Bartol & Bartol, 2012). There are strict guidelines that must be followed relating to confidentiality and the correctional psychologist cannot violate them regardless of who they are working. The American Psychological Association’s code of ethics and code of conduct hold true for all psychologists regardless of their work environment. Most correctional facilities also have a code of conduct...
