Discussion: Writing Learning Outcomes and Learning Objectives for Education Consider that learning outcomes inform us of where learners are going, while learning objectives tell us how they will get there as we return to our weekend hiking trip analogy. You have arrived at the trailhead and are ready to begin your hike to the summit of the mountain where you know there will be a stunning view of the lake below. What is involved with getting to your destination? First you have to know how to read a trail map. You have been using maps since you were a child, so that part is easy. However, there is a steep, rocky section near the top, so you will need to use some technical climbing skills to get past that part of the trail. Photo Credit: Getty Images You value these sorts of challenges, so you are confident that a positive attitude will enable you to forge ahead. The domains of learning are similar to the considerations a hiker must take when figuring out how they will get to their destination. While learning involves some degree of memorization, there is much more to the process that just building a database of facts within our heads. We apply various modes of thinking, practice skills that require motor coordination, and develop emotions and attitudes about learning. These aspects of learning are explained by the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning, respectively. Thus, when developing learning outcomes and objectives as a nurse educator, you must consider all of the domains of learning to provide a complete picture of how you will address a learning outcome or objective. For this discussion, you will analyze the anatomy of a learning objective with respect to the domains of learning and practice writing a learning outcome and learning objectives based on the learning needs you identified in last week’s gap analysis. To prepare: Review the Resources and media related to the Domains of Learning within Bloom’s Taxonomy, the anatomy of an objective, and the differences between outcomes and objectives. Based on the gap/learning needs you identified in Part 1 of the Module 3 Assignment, consider how you will write one learning outcome and three (3) learning objectives that address the three domains of learning for the gap or learning need you identified. Review and use the Educational Plan Template you previously used for your Part 1 of the Module 3 Assignment to guide your discussion. By Day 3 of Week 6 Post a brief description of the gap you identified in Week 5 that will serve as the basis for your learning outcome. Then, for your chosen gap, create one (1) learning outcome and one (1) learning objective at the lowest level of each of the three domains of learning. In other words, you will write one learning outcome and a total of three (3) learning objectives that address the outcome. Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings. Begin by clicking on the “Post to Discussion Question” link and then select “Create Thread” to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit! By Day 6 of Week 6 Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by determining the following: Whether the outcome addresses the stated learning gap; if it does not appropriately address the learning gap, rewrite the outcome to address the gap or learning need. Whether the objectives address the stated domain; if the objective does not address the stated domain, identify the domain that it addresses as written and rewrite the objective for the stated domain.

Compare and/or contrast two vacation destinations to recommend to family for a family vacation. Description: Write an essay in which you compare and/or contrast (i.e., pointing out similarities and/or differences). Then make a collaborative recommendation, taking into consideration personal experiences and audience needs. Also, incorporate at least one quotation in your essay from an outside source, making sure to cite the source properly within your writing as well as in a work cited page at the end of your essay.

there need to be 3 blogs, each of the blogs needs to be 500-600 words, three blogs title is here 1. Inequality in school: how the income level affects education2. charter school is good choice-education efficiency depends on teaching strategies3. 5 reasons tell you why online classes are good for studenttitle name can change a little due to the content it’s a blog and there is some link as an example, focus on education reform only in the US, also there is some education organization list here, they might be a reference. (Center Education ReformAmerican Federation for ChildrenDemocrats for Education Reform – DFERDiverse Charter Schools CoalitionEdReform NowEdForwardEmpowerEdExcelined.orgNational Association of Charter SchoolsNational Association of Charter School Authorizers Parents Amplifying Voices in Education (PAVE) Students for Education Reform – SFER)Length doesn’t matter (necessarily) – you may find advice online that suggests anywhere about 500-600 words as ideal. You can certainly use that as a guidepost, but don’t feel constrained…the data shows that both long and short posts have been successful.Grammar matters (really) – have you ever had that cringing feeling when you read a misspelling or missing word online? Worst case, it creates confusion and you might distrust the site altogether. Make sure the article is spell checked and give it to a friend to proofread.Make the article actionable – imagine someone reading the headline. What do you want them to believe afterward? Do you want them to change their mind? Do you want them to consider something that they never would before? Journalists write articles based on who, what, when, why, and how. The best online content also answers “why now?” Content that is urgent and timely wins the race for attention.Try to be (a little) entertaining – education reform may not rank in the top trending phrases online. However, informative does not have to mean boring.Be clear – not only with your word choice, but with the overall message and supporting data in the article. The best content takes a clear point of view – not weak or subtle. For example, “The Top 5 Beaches in the World” is more compelling than “A Few Beaches In The World That You Might Be Interested In”. Strive to be direct and definitive. Take a stand, make strong word choices, and don’t waverHere are links to some fantastic article examples from education blog:

Write a short reflective paper that takes up this week’s topic of the social construction of race and disability. In your essay response, please engage the following questions: From the readings and media you’ve done so far, what do you think we mean by using the term “social construction of race and/or disability”? How does this understanding compare/contrast to how you’ve previously thought about race and disability, together and separately? Think about the messages you’ve received from friends, family, school, media and other contexts. These reflective papers should be between 400-500 words and balance your understanding of the course material with your own personal experiences, ideas, and histories with race and disability. To receive full credit, you must reference at least 5 of the resources assigned in Module 1A in your response.

Special Topics: Star Wars HUM 2390 Summer 2020 First Exam Due during class Directions: Answer one or two (See below) of the essay questions fully and completely using the works specifically cited by the questions. Any other works, both used in the course and those outside, are fair game for the student to use. Quotes should be used as direct support with a citation as to their origin if unclear. Unless other stated, the student should conform to MLA format. A good answer (if you answer only one question) is 4-5 pages. If you answer two questions, then 3-4 pages. Remember this test tests your knowledge of the movies Star Wars Episodes 1 & 2. DO NOT WRITE A PLOT SUMMARY! Assume I know the movie by heart and only use what you absolutely must to set the scene and NO MORE! A) Analyze the universal plot for one of the Star Wars movies, then pick the another movie and analyze its Plot development relative to the first movie. Compare and contrast how the movie’s plots are both different and similar and show the plot’s relationship to the series, even though we are not done with it yet (i.e. how does this movie enhance/detract for the overall plot of the series). B) Chose one of the three movies and analyze one of the following concepts (you may use more than one): (note this is not a free-for-all to trash the movies if you are so inclined) Plot Development: (how well the plot of the movies enhance each other), Characterization: (Compare one character [not the main character] from the movie. Show how is he or she important to the overall plot. Setting and Scene: (Analyze a scene(s) from the movie. Show how that scene’s setting is important to the overall success of the movie and how the scene is indicative of the movie. C) Analyze a character as he or she grows and develops throughout the movies. This development can also be about our understanding of him or her (i.e. this is not limited to just good heroes, but also villains). You should also use important relationships and how they effect the chosen characters development. Specific quotations should be used here to demonstrate the growth. D) Analyze our understanding of the movies placement: Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant, Earth, or the Universe. Answer the following questions. How is Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant, or the Universe itself a character? What does that placement “mean” to movie or main characters (i.e. Naboo to Queen Amidala, Coruscant to almost anyone)? What does that placement “mean” to the larger world in general? E) Choose a non-reoccurring or minor character and analyze his or her relationship to the plot of the movie and to the development of the main characters. This analysis should encompass specific relationships between characters and the importance of this non-reoccurring character. F) Analyze the concepts of good and evil in a movie or movie series. How does our understanding of the “good” or “evil” in the movie’s world change or evolve (or does it)? This analysis must involve complex plot development as well as characterization and analysis. G) Analyze the use of stereotypes in the movies. Relate specific instances where the movie world mirrors the “real world” or doesn’t. i.e. Queen Amidala plays a mothering role (still, or a wifely/mothering roll) to Anakin and to Naboo and fights to defend her “child” or she plays a kingly role and defends her country/territory, or something else. Also discuss the reason why the director’s chose to use stereotypes and what effect that use has on the movies, both through characterization, plot, and setting. H) Analyze the use of names. Are names significant or meaningful to the movie character development or the development of the movie in general? Why or Why not? Use specific examples that support your analysis. I) The movies are saturated with religious imagery. Analyze the use of religious imagery in a movie or movie series and explain what meanings this understanding brings to the work(s). J) One argument posed by “experts” is that the Star Wars movies are a replacement for our (the real worlds) disillusionment with the failures of Christianity (or any religion in general) to solve the world’s problems or make the world a “better place.” Argue either for or against this opinion using the movies as support. K) Analyze either Anakin, Obi-wan, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn or some other character in the first two movies in their Heroes Journey. You should use the Hero with a Thousand Faces videos and handouts as references. Show how the character you analyze fit/does not fit the paradigm. L) Pick a character and analyze that character psychologically. What motivates that character to make the choices he or she makes? You must define that character using psychological constructs and demonstrate how your psychological analysis enhances the understanding movies. (This will require outside sources, documented in MLA format) M) Compare two or more characters psychologically, either heroes or villains and from similar or different movies, explaining the interactions between these characters and how their individual psychology defines their interaction. (This will require outside sources, documented in MLA format) N) Pick a theme we have discussed in class and show its development throughout the movies. Explain how the theme is fundamental or important to the overall plot of the movie. Use specific references from the movies. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following: Love Death Friendship Time Religion Truth Secrets Mystery Hatred Fame (and loosing it) Family (and the lack thereof) Power (and it various forms) Growth Stagnation Numerology Classical Literary references Relationship to normal life Characterization Imprisonment The hero’s journey Wealth Morals Ethics Justice Right and wrong What is means to be a hero What makes one character a hero What makes heroes different goals O) Analyze a hero’s relationship with their mentor figure (i.e. Obi-wan, Qui-Gon Jinn to Obi-wan, Obi-wan to Anakin, Darth Sidious to Anakin, etc.) and those authority figures he respects. How is Obi-wan (Anakin) (or the character) guided (well or poorly) by them and what is their effect on his development? P) Analyze the Master/Padawan relationship and trace the lineage between Yoda to Anakin. What revelations do you discover? Q) Analyze the meaning of the Jedi order’s destruction. Was it necessary for the balance of the force or was it a tragic occurrence that cost the galaxy untold wisdom and knowledge? What revelations do you discover? R) If you do not like any of these questions, write one down you would like to answer and submit it to me. If I approve it, I will analyze and rewrite it and you may use that question.

Organizations are structured in many different ways. To address substantive improvement, an effective leader needs to develop a solid understanding regarding the structure of the organization. Using the assigned readings for the course as well as additional applicable scholarly sources, describe, in sufficient detail, supportive references that cite the perceptual role of structure within organizational functioning that involve the following: Utilizing 1. Structural assumptions. 2. Structural tensions of differentiation and integration. 3. Benefits and limitations of vertical and lateral coordination. 4. Characteristics of effective structural change. 5. Determinants of successful teams. 6. Accurately researching the existing structure and processes, development of new organizational goals and strategies more aligned with current needs and challenges, determining effective initiatives to continue and ineffective ones to remove, and implementing more lateral coordination of organizational tasks. 7. Presenting the form of organizational structure operating within an educational school setting and how it could be possibly restructured for improvement by developing a Mindmap of the original and restructured organization.
