Edu 6813 – Week 4 Discussion “Common Core Standards for Math in California“ for Grade 6-8

Assignment Guidelines: Select one artist covered in the lecture and one of their artworks to critique. Title the essay in a way that provides anticipation for the content of the essay. In the introductory paragraph of your essay, introduce the artist and artwork providing background information for each. For example: What is the artist’s name? What is their nationality? Where do they live? What type of work do they make? What artwork are you going to cover? What is its title? What materials is it made out of? When was it made? How is the piece experienced? At the end of the introductory paragraph, provide your thesis. This is your critique of the artwork. There are many judgements you may have for the work of art you are writing about and it is up to you to develop those into your critique. If you are struggling to develop your critique, start with considering the effectiveness or impact of the artwork. Does the artwork change the way you think about something? Does it not? Does it make you think differently about some ideas, but not others? Does the work operate only on sensationalism or shock value? Is the work well-researched and nuanced providing many interpretations by many different people? In the following paragraphs, describe the artwork at length and provide your arguments that support and flesh out your critique of the artwork. In these paragraphs, you are answering WHY you critique the artwork in this way. In your concluding paragraph, relay your thesis (that is not just re-stating it) that summarizes your perceived impact of the work of art. Think about the artwork’s personal impact upon you, the cultural impact of the artwork, the historical impact, and/or the political impact of the artwork. 7. Embed an image of the work you discussed within your essay. Add an appropriate citation to your Works Cited page. Examples of art critics writing art reviews: Roberta Smith’s review of Orlan from 1993. David J. Getsy’s review of Cassils from 2017. Kara Q. Smith’s review of Stelarc from 2012.

Assessment Description This assignment comprises two components, a behavioral health prevention program design and a behavioral health prevention summary report, addressing the behavioral and psychological factors promoting healthy living and disease prevention. Part 1: Behavioral Health Prevention Program Design a behavioral health prevention program that outlines the program and addresses the following: Program mission and vision, including theoretical knowledge of working with individuals and families in the community. Stakeholders involved in the program: patients; paraprofessionals; therapists; educational institutions; public health, government, and community agencies; the local community; etc. Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders. Behavioral and psychological barriers that impede behavior modification and disease prevention: role of behavior and prevention in maintaining health. Recommendations for behavior modification and disease prevention: factors promoting healthy living and factors promoting disease prevention. Use the GCU Library databases; include two to four outside scholarly resources for evidentiary support. Part 2: Behavioral Health Prevention Summary Report Write a summary report (1,250-1,500 words) about the information gleaned from the behavioral health prevention program design process. Include information on the program’s mission and vision, the stakeholders, behavior and psychological barriers, and recommendations for behavior modifications. Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations. For example, if you chose a specific program design or intervention does the literature support this as being an effective program? Was it successful and how do you know it was successful? Have other prevention programs found measureable outcomes that you plan to replicate?

Project Management Individual Project Management Plan Team Project – Individual Project Management Plan Please read the Team project “Project Charter Uber Tour” doc in the attachment first, Then write the individual project management plan—- focus on the Project Risk Management only 1. Introduction 2. Goals 3. Objectives 4. Roles and Responsibilities 5. Deliverables 6. For each planning process associated with the knowledge area covered by your plan (as described in class and PMBOK), describe how the process will be handled for the project. You should also list and describe the inputs, tools and techniques and outputs of the process. In PMBOK:[planning process] -Plan Risk Management -Identify Risks -Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis -Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis – Plan Risk Responses -Implement Risk Responses -Monitoring and Controlling Process Group -Monitor Risks Your plan should be written in a narrative format, providing ample description within each section. It is not sufficient to simply provide a series of bulleted lists of materials! There is no length constraint, but plans do not have to be long! You have to keep in mind also that your plan is not intended to summarize the results of analysis and responses. It is supposed to describe how the communications management processes would be executed and who would do that work. Think of your plan as providing instructions to the project team as to how to do the necessary work in this area. Do your own work and make sure you answer all the questions. It will submit on the Turnitin. Submission will be sent to Turnitin to be electronically reviewed for plagiarism.

Write a brief report (maximum 500 words), and be sure to use your textbook and notes for background to support your strategy, using at least 3 of the listed techniques.

Week 2: Measurement One of the keystone concepts in modern quality improvement science is that of measurement. An often heard management adage is “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Measurement can come in many different forms, including statistics, charts, and patient satisfaction surveys. This week we begin to explore measurement in health care quality improvement, and we will be introduced to various tools used for measurement. Learning Objectives Students will: Analyze an example of quality that was measured, assessed, and improved Apply simple data collection techniques to a measurement problem Design a data collection mechanism for an aspect of quality Interpret a control chart Synthesize the purpose, methods, and findings from the evidence-based literature that relate to a practice problem Photo Credit: [Anthia Cumming]/[E+]/Getty Images Learning Resources Required Readings Spath, P.

Review the eight components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care; then consider the following scenario. You are a staff nurse working in a private primary care practice. It is a small practice with 2 MDs (internists), 2 nurses, 1 medical assistant, and an office staff for billing. There are approximately 1,000 patients in the practice. You have had no EHR until the last year, but all charts are manual, historically. Your physicians are starting to inquire about quality incentives, particularly regarding patients with diabetes. By Day 3 Take on the role of the staff nurse in the scenario, and post an explanation of how you would go about finding out how many diabetics are in your practice and how many meet all 8 components of HEDIS comprehensive diabetes care. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Your posts need to be written at the capstone level (see checklist). Notes Initial Post: This should be a 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old). (Refer to AWE Checklist, Capstone) By Day 7 Read two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question. Respond to two or more of your colleagues’ postings with a critique of their data mechanisms. Explain whether the data mechanism is practical, how long it might take, any alternatives you might suggest, and/or any electronic data collection possibilities that might apply. Post a Discussion entry on three different days of the week. See the Discussion Rubric found in the Course Information area.
