...New Students in the School Counseling Program New Students in the School Counseling Program Counseling and Special Populations CNDV 5380 Section A: Career Position Becoming a Professional School Counselor is the career position I have always wanted to pursue. Having been an Elementary School P.E. teacher and a Middle School Social Studies teacher for over seventeen years, I have encountered all types of students. Today’s students come to school with a lot of pressure and baggage including but not limited to financial stresses, illness, family issues, and others. In my experience, what I have found to be most true is that it does not matter what pressures and issues students may have, we all have a responsibility to educate them. Sometimes that “one” person can change another person’s whole direction in life. As a school counselor, I plan on being an advocate for students. I plan on improving the educational processes for struggling students and for those on the bubble. I plan on making a difference in many lives while giving purpose and meaning to my own life. I believe that now is the time to pursue my goal of being a professional school counselor. I have insight, knowledge, and forethought that will enable me to be successful and in return enable my students to be successful. Section B: Statement of Purpose The purpose of obtaining a Master’s Degree in School Counseling not only furthers my education, but also will open doors and allow for professional...

...entrepreneur and invest the necessary time, money, and energy into starting a business. I always dream of owning and running my very own childcare center. The childcare business offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to pursue a passion for child care and child development while enjoying the independence and responsibility of being his or hers own boss. However, starting a childcare business is not as easy as one may think. There is a great deal of information one must be fully aware of. The decision of which type of forms, such as Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, and Limited Liability Company (LLC), can challenging. The legal, tax, accounting implications, the advantages, and disadvantages, the financial statements associated with a childcare center, and plan to present to market, are the reasons to consider for a well designed center that can be develop into a successful plan. Sole proprietorship advantages and disadvantages Unless I choose a specific form of business, my new business will become by default a sole proprietorship or partnership (Daily, 2011). The advantage of a sole proprietorship is ease in establishment and ongoing maintenance as the owner manages operations without the need to consult others. In addition, the solitary owner retains all profits. However, the key disadvantage is that the owner has unlimited liability for all business debts and even personal property is at risk if needed to satisfy creditors or legal rulings...

...edu/ssss/QR/QR8-3/mccaslin.pdf The Five-Question Method For Framing A Qualitative Research Study Mark L. McCaslin University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA Karen Wilson Scott University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA The Five-Question Method is an approach to framing Qualitative Research, focusing on the methodologies of five of the major traditions in qualitative research: biography, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Asking Five Questions, novice researchers select a methodology appropriate to the desired perspective on the selected topic. The Method facilitates identifying and writing a Problem Statement. Through taking a future perspective, the researcher discovers the importance and direction of the study and composes a Purpose Statement. The process develops an overarching research question integrating the purpose and the research problem. The role of the researcher and management of assumptions and biases is discussed. The Five-Question Method simplifies the framing process promoting quality in qualitative research design. A course outline is appended. Key words: Qualitative Research, Five-Question Method, Biography Research, Phenomenology Research, Grounded Theory Research, Case Study Research, and Ethnography Research Introduction Planning a qualitative study for the first time tends to be an intimidating venture for graduate students just entering the field. Even armed with a topic of interest, for a novice in qualitative research,...

...and mission statements play an important role in strategy development by providing vehicles to generate and screen strategic options. They also provide organizational identity and understanding of business directions. A vision is an attempt to articulate what a desired future for a company would look like. It gives the company direction and it's the basic premise for the success of the mission statement. It stretches the imagination and motivates people to rethink what is possible. A mission statement is a brief explanation of the organization's purpose. It tells who we are and what we are. Mission statements should articulate the principles that will guide the business and its employees to grow, advance, and prosper. Definition of Mission and Vision statement: A mission statement, or simply a mission, is a public declaration that schools or other educational organizations use to describe their founding purpose and major organizational commitments—i.e., what they do and why they do it. A mission statement may describe a school’s day-to-day operational objectives, its instructional values, or its public commitments to its students and community. Figure 1.1: Image of Mission and Vision A vision statement, or simply a vision, is a public declaration that schools or other educational organizations use to describe their high-level goals for the future—what they hope to achieve if they successfully fulfill their organizational purpose or mission.

...Teaching Note Synopsis and Objectives Suggested complementary cases in financial statement analysis: “The Financial Detective, 2005,” (UVA-F-1486); “Deutsche Brauerei,” (UVA-F-1355); “The Battle for Value, 2004: FedEx Corp. vs. United Parcel Service, Inc.,” (UVA-F-1484) This case considers the sudden and very large drop in the market value of equity for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., associated with a series of announcements made in 2004. Those announcements caused investors to revise their expectations about the future growth of Krispy Kreme, which had been one of the most rapidly growing American corporations in the new millennium. The task for the student is to evaluate the implications of those announcements and to assess the financial health of the company. This case is intended to be introductory as it can provide a first exercise in financial statement analysis and lay the foundation for two important financial themes: the concept of financial health, and the financial-economic definition of value and its determinants. Suggested Questions for Advance Assignment to Students 1. What can the historical income statements (case Exhibit 1) and balance sheets (case Exhibit 2) tell you about the financial health and current condition of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc.? 2. How can financial ratios extend your understanding of financial statements? What questions do the time series of ratios in case Exhibit 7 raise? What questions do the ratios...

...Learning organizations are characterized by total employee involvement in a process of collaboratively conducted, collectively accountable change directed towards shared values or principles. (Watkins and Marsick 1992: 118) We can see much that is shared in these definitions – and some contrasts. To start with the last first: some writers (such as Pedler et. al.) appear to approach learning organizations as something that are initiated and developed by senior management – they involve a top-down, managerial imposed, vision (Hughes and Tight 1998: 183). This can be contrasted with more ‘bottom-up’ or democratic approaches such as that hinted at by Watkins and Marsick (1992; 1993). According to Sandra Kerka (1995) most conceptualizations of the learning organizations seem to work on the assumption that ‘learning is valuable, continuous, and most effective when shared and that every experience is an opportunity to learn’ (Kerka 1995). The following characteristics appear in some form in the more popular conceptions. Learning organizations: Provide continuous learning opportunities. Use learning to reach their goals. Link individual performance with organizational performance. Foster inquiry and dialogue, making it safe for people to share openly and take risks. Embrace creative tension as a source of energy and renewal. Are continuously aware of and interact with their environment. (Kerka 1995) As Kerka (1995) goes onto comment, the five disciplines that Peter Senge goes...

...FS 6903 ADVANCED SEMINAR IN ECE DISSERTATION EVALUATION Statement of the Problem The statement of the problem was to note that a large body of research documents the importance of parental engagement and social involvement. There is a large body of research that has been ignored in third world countries. There is a need for further research to examine parental engagement from a broader perspective. The Purpose of the Research The purpose of this study was to examine teacher’s perceptions and beliefs about parent engagement in children’s school activities in the primary schools in Nairobi, Kenya. The study also investigated teacher’s self-efficacy in terms of efficacy to influence decision making, efficacy to influence school resources, instruction self-efficacy, and disciplinary self-efficacy, and efficacy to enlist parental engagement, efficacy to enlist community involvement, and efficacy to create a positive school climate. Research Questions There were three research questions, 1) What are the perceptions and beliefs of Kenyan teachers about school and family partnership? 2) What are Kenyan teachers attitudes regarding their self-efficacy in the school environment? 3) Are the correlations between teacher’s perceptions and beliefs about school and family partnerships and their attitudes regarding self-efficacy? The research questions were measurable and achievable. Definitions of Terms There were five definitions of terms use in this study that were operationally...

...TB0069 August 9, 2007 Graeme Rankine Financial Statement Analysis— Identify the Industry Since opportunities and constraints tend to be different across industries, companies in different industries tend to make different investment, dividend, and financing decisions. Thus, firms in different industries exhibit different financial characteristics, and, hence, report different financial ratios. For example, “old economy” businesses with large amounts of tangible assets may have higher leverage ratios. Service or trading firms may have large amounts of intangible assets such as knowledge assets or a large and loyal customer base, and, hence, have low leverage ratios because “growth options” can evaporate. On the other hand, companies within the same industry tend to exhibit similar financial characteristics, as measured by financial ratios. With some knowledge of the different operating, investing, and financing decisions across industries, financial ratios can be used to identify an industry (see Exhibit 1 for the definition of ratios used). Balance sheets and income statements for the most recent three years are provided for 10 companies from 10 different industries. Common-sized balance sheets (all items scaled by total assets), common-sized income statements (all items scaled by net sales), and selected financial ratios for the most recent three years are also provided. Since unusual deviation from target values may occur in any given year, the values for...
