Answer the following “Questions for Self-Reflection.” Your response for each question should be no less than 250 words. Using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs model, which level describes your life today? Have you ever experienced the level of self-actualization that is at the top of the pyramid? What did that feel like? How would you describe this feeling to a friend whom you’ve not seen in a few years? Have you ever struggled with the first level of the pyramid? What did that feel like? Were your frightened, anxious, or tense? How do you think parents with small children feel and act when they are struggling to fulfill their needs and their children’s needs when they feel trapped at the first step? How will Maslow’s theory affect your work with parents and children? Develop a few of your own “Educator Tips.” Explain why these “tips” are important and how they will benefit children and families.  ( I HAVE ATTACED MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS )

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the articles Teaching Writing Skills That Enhance Student Success in Future Employment ; An Inner Barrier to Career Development: Preconditions of the Impostor Phenomenon and Consequences for Career Development  (Links to an external site.) ; and 9 Questions That’ll Help You Find Your Dream Career  (Links to an external site.) ; watch the video Business, Management & Administration  (Links to an external site.) ; and review the General Education Curriculum found in General Academic Information and Policies  (Links to an external site.)  in the Ashford University Catalog. This catalog addresses the core competencies that the general education courses must cover: Ethical Reasoning, Written Communication, Oral and Interpersonal Communication, Information Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Reasoning.  Reflect: Think about the core competencies as previously mentioned, and ponder your time taking general education courses. Reflect on the specific courses not associated with your college major, Human Resource Management and determine the level of new information you have acquired that relates to the core competencies. You must also think about a potential job (HR manager) you might apply to once you graduate and determine what skills you developed through general education courses that make you qualified for a specific job. Write: For this discussion, you will address the following prompts: Review the job description for HR managers through a job website (e.g., Career Builder  (Links to an external site.) , Monster  (Links to an external site.) , etc.) in Human Resource career fields. Please provide the job title and the link to the job description. Identify at least five skills you have obtained through your general education courses that will make you successful at this job.

For this task, you will create a pamphlet suitable for distribution to parents, especially those with children with special needs such as English language learners and/or with mental or physical disabilities. In your pamphlet, present to the parent or caregiver recommendations for effective practices for teaching special populations to read and write in school and at home.  Since the parent or caregiver will most likely not be fluent readers and speakers of English, or may have limited formal schooling, be sure to include meaningful graphics and graphic organizers, and simple, but informative text.  To ensure that your parents will try to read and follow your recommendations, avoid using too much jargon, too much clutter with smaller font size; and be sure to use  a design that your colleagues will ask to use for their parents!  Length: 3-4 pages Your pamphlet should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.  Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.  Review The Basic APA Style tutorial as needed.
