Government Intervention Analysis

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions.

Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.

Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.

Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing,decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.

Analyze credible economists’ opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.

Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.

Reflective writing
Using the LEARN format, reflect on your simulation experience.

L- Look back: What was one experience that meaningful to you?

E – Elaborate: Who was involved? What did you see? What did you hear? How did you feel?

A – Analyze: What does the research say about what you experienced? Is there
evidence to support your experience? Is the evidence opposite to what you
experienced?

R – Revise: How would you have responded differently based on the information you discovered in your analysis? Are there any strategies identified in the literature that you could have implemented?

N – New learning: How will you apply your learning to future clinical settings/situations?

why did you choose this this? What are the strengths and limitations of this approach (closed/open questions etc)?

Use the R&R Strategy to summarize the some of the key issues around retention, especially relating to leaving within the first 5 years

Use some of your existing literature review to outline some of the challenges for ECTs, but also look at what the Statutory entitlements are for NQTs – use your criticality (for example we mentioned that Academies and Free schools are exempt).

You can then say that in response to this, and as part of the R&R Strategy, the Govt has launched the ECF with effect from this September.

Look at what the ECF involves and how it is meant to link to the ITE year – comment on any strengths/flaws you notice.  Then look at the Statutory Guidance – how has it attempted to improve provision for ECTs?  Does it seem good to you or can you see potential problems

Methodology – Write about how for your research and enquiry you want to see how NQTs are supported in your P1 school (and does it match what “should” be happening?) and discover their view of the proposed changes.

Write about your chosen methodology: why did you choose this this? What are the strengths and limitations of this approach (closed/open questions etc)?  You must refer to one or two books/sources on methodology here.

Also write about your ethical considerations and the limitations of your study overall (i.e small sample/one school etc).  You might also mention the limitations placed on you by the pandemic if appropriate.
