...Four Circles Model Bryan Dunlap EDA 561 Grand Canyon University March 30, 2016 It seems that in the world of education today “accountability” is the latest buzz word to embed itself deep into America’ lexicon. Accountability is used by parents, community members and other stakeholders as an instrument to raise expectations for schools and educators to an extremely high; sometimes unrealistic, levels of achievement. It has also become a weapon wielded by lawmakers and politicians at the state and national levels to levy punitive actions and sanctions to schools that are not meeting their levels of expectations; branding them with a “Scarlet F” if students are not scoring well on standardized tests. While high test scores, continuous improvement, student achievement and teacher/student accountability are things that all schools and district should strive for, there are certainly beneficial ways, as well as destructive means, to attaining such favorable results without harming the school’s most precious resource – students. Effective school administrators are constantly seeking opportunities to improve within their school and in each classroom. There are numerous tools and strategies that administrators and school leaders can implement that will aid in identifying obstacles and providing solutions to improve student success. One such tool is the Four Circles Model outlined by Charlotte Danielson. The Four Circles Model allows administrators...

...07/08/15 Poetry essay ENG4U-42 A Dream within a Dream By Edgar Allen Poe Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? Analysis My initial glance through this poem I realise that the poet is not really talking about a dream. He compares life metaphorically to a dream within a dream. The structure of this poem is not a standard rhyming pattern which halts the reader in order to absorb what is being said. The poem consists of nine couplets and two triplets. The opening stanza, for example, begins with a triplet, then shifts to couplets and the second stanza shifts from couplets to triplet in the middle then shifts back to the original pattern. The poem expresses the poet’s frustration of the uncertainty and temporariness of life and people. He compares life and dreams because when we dream, it seems so real but when we are awakened by the roar of life...

...The three pillars of GCUs College of Business are Entrepreneurial Spirit, Innovation and Servant Leadership. These are three key characteristics that are critical in building a strong foundation for students to succeed in their professional growth and in business. This paper reviews each of these pillars and how they apply personally to my work environment and career development. Entrepreneurial Spirit The entrepreneurial spirit is composed of multiple characteristics including but not limited to passion, vision, creativity, autonomy, and risk-taking. Possessing an entrepreneurial spirit is an important quality not just for individual success but for that of a business as well. For a business to maintain growth and sustainability it must maintain core competencies and have an entrepreneurial value system that it sticks to (Chaifetz, 2010). Chaifetz (2010), discusses how his company encourages the entrepreneurial spirit amongst his employees to be innovative and challenges them to think of new ideas. As his company has grown it has not fallen subject to common problems such as inflexibility, bureaucracy, and standardization that are often seen when companies expand. In fact, the approach is taken to provide employees with the tools and resources necessary to implement innovative ideas and tailor services for their customers. Not only does this method add to the entrepreneurial culture in the company it also lends to enhanced customer service directly impacting its success. I...

...Learning Strategies Learning Strategies This paper will discuss the “VARK, a guide to learning styles” (VARK, 2015). One subject who took the “VARK Questionnaire, How Do I Learn Best?” learned the results were Aural and Kinesthetic “AK”, a multimodal learning style preference. The subject’s preferred learning strategies were compared and found to be compatible with the VARK learning style strategies. Using VARK as a tool can give an instructor awareness of the individual’s learning style. This aids the instructor in developing strategies that will accommodate and influence the individual’s learning style. The subject that took the sixteen part VARK questionnaire chose to answer some categories with one selection and others with two or more selections. The questionnaire concluded the subject’s scores were Visual “V”-3, Aural/Auditory “A”-11, Read/Write “R”-5 and Kinesthetic “K”-9 resulting in a multimodal “AK” learning preference. This individual’s learning style mixes “A” and “K” modalities where they have the ability to switch between them, allowing the individual to adapt to the learning strategy. VARK defines four sensory modalities that are used for learning (VARK, 2015). The “V” modality uses graphics such as maps, charts, diagrams and symbols instead of words to represent the information they are trying to learn. “A” modality prefers information that can be heard or spoken. This represents a traditional classroom type providing lectures, open group discussions, webinars...

...Mojave Desert to 38 hospitals and 622 medical offices stretching from Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, Georgia and Washington, D.C. and its suburbs. (Press Release, 2015) World War II is the historic event that really impacted the growth of Kaiser Permanente. As the Grand Coulee Dam Project was coming to an end in 1941, America was entering World War II. This meant that ships and other steel products had to be built and would require tens of thousand of workers. Henry J. Kaiser would employ these workers but also had the obligation to provide healthcare for them and their families. Knowing Dr. Sidney Garfield from previous projects, including the Grand Coulee Dam Project, Mr. Kaiser called Dr. Garfield to implement the prepayment healthcare model that was very successful in the past. Upon calling, Mr. Kaiser discovered that Dr. Garfield was entering active duty with an Army Reserve unit and would be leaving in a few weeks. In a plea made to President Franklin Roosevelt from Henry J. Kaiser, Dr. Garfield was released from the military and begin to plan and lead a prepaid group practice for the workers at the shipyards. This is how the innovative healthcare system got to the San Francisco Bay area and formed an association with Kaiser that continues today. (Kaiser Permanente Share, 2015) At the end of the war, the 90,000 employees became 13,000 employees in just a few months and the practice got smaller. Dr. Sidney Garfield and Henry J. Kaiser did...
