Job Design

For this assignment, you will create the job description using the information from your Job Analysis assignment in Week 2. The job analysis is a critical step in the process for a job description to be reliable and useful. Remember, as an HR leader, you would typically have input from more than one position questionnaire to complete a job analysis.

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

  • Read Chapters 2 and 3 in the textbook, Job and Work Analysis.
  • You may consider reviewing Chapter 4 in the textbook, Job and Work Analysis.

Using the job analysis that you conducted for the Week 2 assignment,

  • Determine the appropriate design for the position.
  • Analyze the various elements required for creating a job description for the specific position. Consider addressing the following to get started:
    • What would this person do and to what extent?
    • What is the job title and purpose?
    • What education or skills are required?
    • What duties and responsibilities are required?
    • What are the working conditions?
  • Create a job description that includes the information defined in the job analysis.
  • Provide a rationale for the chosen design.
  • Explain the purpose and importance of each section within the job description.

Support your reasoning with at least two credible or professional resources.

Clinical Field Experience C: Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies

English language arts can be challenging for many students, often due to difficulties with reading comprehension and written expression as well as speaking and listening skills. It is important to identify the specific areas in need of improvement so the appropriate intervention can be implemented to thoughtfully differentiate instruction for students to develop necessary skills.

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Part 1: Identifying Student Challenges

With the help of your mentor, identify three students with similar literacy challenges who would benefit from differentiation, intervention, and remediation strategies in ELA. Observe the students during at least one ELA lesson and complete “Part 1: Identifying Student Challenges” on the “SPD-581 Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies” template.

Part 2: Selecting Research-Based Intervention, Remediation, and Differentiation Strategies

Discuss with your mentor what you observed and noted about the identified students during your classroom observation. Collaborate with your mentor to develop research-based intervention and remediation strategies to strengthen the literacy skills of the students in the small group. Identify one specific intervention strategy and one specific remediation strategy you can implement in the “Clinical Field Experience D: Applying Intervention Strategies.” Work with your mentor to complete “Part 2: Selecting Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies” on the “SPD-581 Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies” template.

Use any remaining field experience hours to provide support or assistance to the class as directed by your mentor.

Reflective Journal

Reflective writing is one way of citing evidence of practice and learning in practice. Reflective writing involves thinking about and reviewing events to try to make sense of them, using acquired nursing knowledge and understanding.

Reflective journaling also provides insight into context and emotions and addresses the matching of intellect, decision-making and problem solving appropriate for a complex and dynamic situation.

A key component of this assignment will be a reflection on specific incidents occurring during a practicum experience. The reflective journal is more than a description of what was seen, and the tasks have performed. This journal is a chance to comment on actions and experiences in a practicum placement and to explore feelings about the same. Include how these could/should affect personal and professional development.

As a novice nurse, it will be required to plan, implement and evaluate performance; the reflective journal gives the scope to begin to develop these skills while completing a practicum.

A reflective journal is a learning tool that can be used to look at experiences and help to do the following:

  • a)Review and reflect upon development, and how have grown on both an individual and professional level.
  • b)Organize thoughts.
  • c)Demonstrate practical application of the underpinnings of knowledge, link theory with clinical practice and vice versa.
  • d)Demonstrate practical competence.
  • e)Decide what new learning is needed; provide evidence to show where, when and how practice outcomes/standards of proficiencies have been achieved.

Was there a difference with media coverage about your topic in other parts of the world? Were the reactions from media consumers varied in other parts of the world? Did different movements happen in other parts of the world based on the topic/event?

IDS3 Capstone

For this part of the project, you’re going to continue using the same topic/event that was used in Capstone Part #1 and do a compare-and-contrast case study. It will require you to view your topic from three different angles: locally, nationally, and globally. Your case study should be written in APA style, have 800 words, and compare and contrast your topic with how it was portrayed from a local, national, and global standpoint.

JUST TO CLARIFY: For this assignment, the local news is where the event took place. For example, the local news coverage for the Columbine school shooting that occurred in 1999 will be Columbine, CO. National news for the event can be any other news coverage that covered the event in the USA including Miami, and the global news will be any country outside of the USA regardless of the native language of the country that covered the event, including Canada, UK, Spain, etc.

  • Was there a difference with media coverage about your topic in other parts of the world?
  • Were the reactions from media consumers varied in other parts of the world?
  • Did different movements happen in other parts of the world based on the topic/event?
  • What were the similarities?
  • What were the differences?

DO NOT include the questions within your case study and do not summarize the event.

Political and Economic Environments

As governments and political leaders respond to economic and political changes, they create incentives for companies to do business within their market and restrictions for certain businesses that could be harmful to the domestic market. In this discussion, you will explore how these incentives and restrictions have influenced and can continue to influence trade and the impact of government interventions on business.

Using the resources from your required reading, address the following as part of your response:

Provide an example of government economic intervention designed to influence, regulate, or control trade for a specific industry from one of the articles and summarize the government’s reasons for the interventions.
Identify which parties and organizations were or will be impacted by the government intervention, including any impacts on the price of commodities.
Briefly summarize key pieces of information a business in the industry from your example needs to know to fully understand how the intervention will affect its business.
In your responses to two or more of your peers, address whether the government accomplished its goals for the economic interventions and describe any unintended consequences of the government intervention.
