Essential Skills that a Teach Should Acquire Decision making and action-driven skills are extremely important because the teaching is a process that implies critical thinking(Kyriacou, 1998). Ability to establish teaching objectives must match the learner’s perception and understanding of those objectives (Horton, 2011). Finally, the teacher should be able to implement those objectives through designing topic activities and collecting lesson material (Horton, 2011). Needs Assessment What do you know? Teaching profession is a challenge for communication, experience, and abilities of a person. An individual involved in teaching should possess a good command of various disciplines, including. What do you want to know? Teaching can be considered as a field that undergoes constant changes due to the development of technology and education theories. In this respect, specific attention should be given to skills that a teacher should possess to become a free user of virtual space for conducting e-lessons (Odden, 2011). What are trying to measure to determine, measure, and define? In order to determine whether the objectives have been met, specific attention should be given to the analysis of such aspects as individual’s flexibility and readiness to accept changes. The vision of instruction should produce measures assessing teaching effectiveness and practice. How will you collect and record information? The information should relate to education theories about teaching, as well as philosophical foundation of teaching as a profession. Consequently, the data can be drawn from recent surveys and research studies conducted to define what attributes teachers should possess to succeed in a learning environment. How will you report the information you collected? The collected data will be used as a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented during the lesson. The presentation will propose a set of engaging questions and activities based on the findings in literature. In addition, the survey can allow teachers to make up a list of questions to assess teacher’s readiness to accept changes. Are all interested groups included in planning and conducting needs assessment? The interest group are future teachers who are ready to adjust to a constantly changing setting and implement new strategies in conducting e-lessons. Topic Activity: Objectives What: Students should be able to define their skills and abilities that are necessary to become a good teacher; How: They also need to outline the skills they already have, as well as outline strategies that can allow them to acquire the missed skills; Why: Students should learn the basis of teaching as a profession. Topic Activity: Learning definitions Classroom management: a process implying organization of sequence of activities that engage students into learning(Strong, 2007); Managing resources: teacher should be able to select materials for classes; Assessment che
Selection outcomes There are two negative selection outcomes (false positive and false negative errors). A false positive error refers to an incorrect acceptance of a job applicant for employment, basing on predictive success. It is unsuccessful in the selection of results (Gatewood, Feild & Barrick, 2011). On the contrary, a false negative error refers to the incorrect rejection of a good employee who would have succeeded based on a predictive failure. Positive selection outcomes include true positive and true negative outcomes. True positives involve hiring qualified applicants. It occurs when the personnel selection decisions predict that an applicant will succeed, and indeed, the applicant succeeds (Gatewood, Feild & Barrick, 2011). On the other hand, true negative occurs when the selection decision makers predict that an applicant is going to fail, and indeed, the applicant fails. Employment decision-making questions There are three paramount questions that a recruiter should answer during the selection decision-making process. He or she should be concerned about how the information of the applicants is to be collected. Secondly, it is crucial to acknowledge that more than one predictor can be used to collect information about the applicant. Therefore, an important question is how the scores collected using these predictors are combined to determine the overall score of an applicant during the decision-making process. The last question that the recruiter should answer is how the overall scores obtained from the predictors can be utilized in making selection decisions (Gatewood, Feild & Barrick, 2011). Selecting best-qualified applicants Psychometric tests, structured, and non-structured interviews are used to collect information from applicants. From these, the total score of each candidate can be obtained. Mr. Bates should ensure that only job-related criteria are used to make the best selection. He should also consider integrating predictor scores along with the applicants’ skills, abilities, and knowledge. Also, experience and education, as well as the applicants’ unique qualifications that are specific to the job, should be factored (Catano, 2009). Finally, Mr. Bates can make a comparison of applicants by applying the selection criteria to select the best and most qualified job applicants. Employment selection decision-making approaches Combination method can be used to calculate the predicted scores that will be utilized in the decision-making process. Candidates that sco
Sky gardening or vertical farming is a new agricultural scenario enabling farmers to farm deeper instead of spreading out over more land. It is sometimes referred to as urban gardening, since it favors urban environment with little space on the ground but a lot of it vertically. It helps farmers to appreciate the benefits of valuing more the depth of land fertility than the size of land holdings. It therefore concentrates on more intensive than extensive farming. A great benefit of vertical farming is the maximum utilization of the little land available in urban areas. Many high raises are developed where many levels of different crops are grown. The plan highlighted here focuses on farming of strawberry and tomato. An additional important aspect of this type of farming in that it is also essential for teaching purposes, whether for healthy cooking, amongst other aspects. Various aspects of the plan have been discussed as follows: Problem and Opportunity There has been a major challenge around the globe with continually shrinking amount of arable land as compared to the rising global population and with it the demand for food. This may sound a warning of a serious problem in the coming days if some concrete measures are not undertaken. In addition, the modern agriculture, with green revolution has resulted to increasing demand for water. There is also a lot of pollution going hand in hand with current agricultural practices especially on its reliability on irrigation. It calls for review on the manner we would continue growing food in the future. A great opportunity of handling the rising dangers presents itself with growing food vertically in enclosed domes that are self-contained. These have a great potential to absorb carbon dioxide and generate valuable carbon credits. It would go a long way into producing highly nutritional and mineral-rich vegetables and fruits aeroponically. It is estimated about twenty times potential increase in produce can be realized from an acre of land using this method as compared with traditional methods (Blackman, 2012). The greenhouse facilities can be located anywhere since there is no need of soil. Therefore, the organization focuses on producing healthier, tastier, and more disease resistant vegetables and fruits, as well as teaching people how to cook in a healthier manner. Vision and Mission Statement Mission: Attain a society that appreciates advanced sky farming to promote self-grown organic vegetable and fruits, as a major achievement in living healthier at cost-effective terms while creating opportunities for the urbane mostly youth population. Vision: We sensitize the populace on making more use of healthier, fresher and more nutritious food, and learn a lot on healthier cooking. Products Description
Introduction Industrialization changed the course of the American nation forever converting it from a formerly traditional agrarian society, into a highly industrialized economy. During this time, America not only went through very rapid technological growth that gave rise to the growth of factories, industries, and better means of communication; but it was also a period during which she became aware of her tremendous growth and sought to establish herself as a superpower. A lot of innovations taking place during this period such as the steam engine gave rise to the use of machinery to carry out various tasks that were previously performed manually. The discovery of iron and steel enabled the construction of factories, railways, industrial machinery as well as modern housing. The post-war era became a period of the tremendous growth of industries and modern businesses; giving the nation a new economic and political power both locally and abroad (Kevin & Laurie 45-46; Brezina 9-10). Industrialization and Imperialism in America During the industrial revolution, a lot of innovations took place such as the invention of the steam engine which enabled the use of machinery to carry out various tasks that were previously performed manually. Production of goods changed and industry the manufacturing of goods became the driving force towards a modern economy. Animal and manual labor was replaced by machines while various innovations enabled the easier conversion of raw materials into manufactured products. America’s transformation was very striking during the industrial revolution and between 1790 when the first factory was built on American soil and Henry Ford’s invention of the first average American’s car in 1908, the U.S.A had been transformed from a thinly populated agrarian society into one of the world’s most industrialized and urbanized societies. It is the technological developments of this time that set the stage for America’s gradual rise to super-power status in the world (Brezina 5-6; Kevin & Laurie 145, 259). With improved technology, manufacturing of goods became much easier and faster and most of the population could now access goods that were previously considered luxuries. Costs of production had decreased through the use of machinery and most goods, therefore, became affordable for the majority of the population. Expansion of factories and industries created employment for the masses and the standard of living subsequently improved for many Americans; while increased consumer spending combined with increased exports gave rise to tremendous economic growth (Kevin & Laurie 81-82). Technological development however gave rise to new social perils; sweeping jobless artisans and farmers into the industrial cities where labor was in high demand in the factories and industries. The high demand for labor soon drove women and children into the labor force while the gap between the rich and the poor continued to widen because industrial p
Strategic management is a vital element of any company’s functioning and existence, which is why it needs to be supported by all means possible. For this reason, the connection between the efficacy of strategic management implementation and organization’s characteristics such as its structure and design need to be explored further. In their study, Ruth M. Abuga and Jared Deya examine the connection between these variables, thus contributing to the improvement of strategic ,management by exploring the opportunities for organizational structure and design updates. Due to the meticulous and detailed analysis technique used in the article, its conclusions can be considered a legitimate and vital contribution to strategic management and the development of organizational structure and design. The process of formulating and implementing a management strategy explored by the authors is linked directly to the experiences of multiple companies in the current economic setting. Due to the issues observed in the modern economic setting, the development of a competitive management strategy is quite challenging for most firms. Therefore, the reconsideration of the organizational structure and the effects that its design has on the creation and implementation of strategic management is critical to a company’s performance. The study by Abuga and Deya should be credited for its detailed approach to structuring an article, with a clear introduction and a literature review, an accurate problem statement, a definition of the quantitative methodological approach, a thorough discussion, and a coherent conclusion. Specifically, the authors delineated that “human resource capability had an inverse effect on competitive advantage” (Abuga and Deya 253). The attempt at embracing the connection between the financial and organizational aspects of the management process appears to be the key strength of the article, whereas the use of purposive sampling prevents from getting a diverse result, thus weakening the research. Overall, due to the coherent methodology and the comprehensive review, the authors have managed to connect the organizational design to the opportunities of improving strategic management approaches. Therefore, the study has become an important addition to the exploration of the organization structure and design area of business management. Nonetheless, further research addressing the subject matter on a more comprehensive scale will be needed for improved approaches for strategic management.

Executive Summary This paper will report on the experiences based on the services at the McDonald’s Restaurant. The main focus is on the quality of the services as well as the customer’s satisfaction on the same. The paper will include a brief introduction to the subject matter and give a narration of the experiences at the McDonald’s in terms of a documented diary. The diary will give details as to what really happened at McDonald’s and, more importantly, give the observations pertaining to food services and how customers reacted to the same. Further on, relevant analysis and recommendations will be given to restaurant businesses in terms of how to always ensure satisfaction of their customers. Finally, a conclusion will be made, as well as references in order to sum up the research. Introduction Just as Richard Gerson (1993, p. 48) affirms, “…everyone loves to enjoy the various delicacies offered in classy restaurants.” This is true. However, does this guarantee us satisfaction every time one visits such places? Three words answer: most certainly not. Some classy restaurants are renowned for their quality services in terms of good food, staff etiquette and even reasonable pricing. On the other hand, some deliveries in restaurants result in an unsatisfied bunch of customers. Customer’s satisfaction is crucial in any organizational success. Dru Scott (1991) actually says the following concerning the same, “Company Managers should consider it (customer satisfaction) as the other half of their job – it is that important” (p. 18). In close regards to Mattila and Enz’s work (2001), there is a great need to look into this very same concept of service delivery, more so, how it can contribute to the customer’s satisfaction, or otherwise. Brief Background Being an international student who lives in the Western suburbs, there was a great potential for research project to be conducted into the very topic of discussion. Why is this? One may ask. Well, it is very simple. The setting provides a perfect scenario for the project to be carried out, as most of the residents in the Western suburbs are fond of visiting their favorite restaurants for meals and/or takeouts. More importantly, McDonald’s is one of the busiest restaurants with customers flooding in every now and then to enjoy the delicious food served in the restaurant. It is a little wonder, therefore, that this study was based on the very same restaurant. Now, this study includes a diary documentation of the experiences from visiting McDonald’s over a consid
Introduction Dengue fever (DF) is a widespread vector-borne disease that affects millions of people in various parts of the world. In fact, the disease is considered one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the world, which is a health risk to more than 2.5 billion people living in areas prone to infection (Racloz, Ramsey, Tong, Hu 2012). According to World Health Organisation (2012), there are 50 million infection occurrences every year. Dengue fever virus, a flavivirus that causes DF, has four serotypes denoted as DEN 1-4; all are transmitted by mosquitoes of the species Aedes aegypti (Hoti 2011) and Aedes albopictus (Ran & Raffy 2006). The disease affects thousands of people lying in tropical and subtropical climates where the viruses as well as the vetors thrive (Wu, Guo, Lung, Lin & Su 2007). Sri Lanka has this type of environment, which means that its population is at risk of developing DF (Lipp, Huq & Colwell 2002). In this report, an improved surveillance system for dengue fever in Sri Lanka has been suggested as a probable method for controlling the public health problem. Epidemiology of Dengue Fever in Sri Lanka The first national outbreak was observed in 1965, having caused 15 deaths out of 51 cases. Since 1965, the country has experienced several outbreaks (Asia-Pacific Dengue Prevention Board 2007). Major outbreaks have increased in number over the last 15 years (Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka 2013). In 2000, the country reported more than 8900 cases and 64 deaths (World Health Organization 2013a). The cases increased significantly to 15,463 in 2004, but the death rates reduced to 26. Between 2009 and 2010, the country experienced the largest cases of DF of more than 70,000 instances and over 340 deaths. Objectives of the improved surveillance system for DF in Sri Lanka The purpose of any surveillance system is to ensure that the capacity of the community to monitor trends of disease and reduce its transmission is enhanced. In fact, the World Health Organization seeks to ensure that the number of member states with adequate surveillance system is increased in order to control the disease development. The WHO encourages countries to develop effective surveillance system and policies in line with i
Introduction People have been taking the concept of sleeping as a formality. They believe that after failing to sleep for a couple of days, it is possible to compensate for those days by spending equal number of days sleeping. For me, these assumptions were changed after the experience I went through following a sleepless night. This was after being attacked by thugs. It was around nine o’clock in the evening as I was preparing my evening meals. Suddenly I heard a bang on the door. At first, it did not seem to come from my house so I continued with my cooking. As I was about to serve the food, I heard someone order me to lie down. On turning to see who it was, I felt something heavy land on my head. I fell down unconscious. After duration of approximately half an hour, I regained my consciousness only to find my house almost empty. They had carried roughly everything from my house. As I had been perplexed, I did not take a step of reporting the matter to the police neither did I inform my neighbors. I tried to sleep but I could not. It was hard for me to come in terms with what had happened. Whenever I tried sleeping, I could see this person attacking me and this kept me waking up (Sleepdex, 2009, Par. 3-5). Main Body The following day I could barely work or participate in discussions at workplace. I was overwhelmed by sleeping and could find myself occasionally lying on the table for a nap. The whole day my mood was not one of the best. I could get incensed for very trivial reasons. It reached a time when I almost quarrel my boss for asking me to forward the previous day’s work. It is usual for us to hand in previous day’s work as the first thing once we get to the office. On this particular day, I got to the office and forgot to forward my work. The whole day I did not feel motivated to participate in anything in the office. My spiri
Applying the principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and autonomy in healthcare is crucial for many reasons. Firstly, care providers who practice by the principle of nonmaleficence choose treatments that will not harm the patient, thus reducing the possibility of complications or side effects from the treatment (Morrison & Furlong, 2019). Secondly, the principle of beneficence encourages medical professionals to prescribe evidence-based treatments that increase the chances of recovery. Thirdly, practicing justice in healthcare means providing equal access and quality of care to various populations (Morrison & Furlong, 2019). This assists in reducing health disparities evident in many communities and improves health on a national level. Lastly, the protection of patient autonomy means that patients can choose their preferred course of treatment or reject treatment if it conflicts with their beliefs. This helps to avoid harm to patients’ mental health and their self-image, which are both critical for wellbeing. The uncertainty with regards to the moral status of embryos is an important issue that influences the care of pregnant women. As shown by Morrison and Furlong (2019), people often disagree on whether or not embryos should have the moral status of a person. Indeed, there is no national policy that determines the moral status of an embryo, and thus, there are irregularities in ethics and legislation. This creates ethical challenges for health professionals. For instance, if embryos had the moral status equal to their mothers’, it would be ethically wrong to perform abortions even in cases of rape, incest, or threat to the mother’s life. In cases where a mother would not survive the pregnancy, healthcare providers are required to make decisions that would end one life and save the other. These concerns influence healthcare ethics and obstruct decision-making in prenatal care. Deontology will benefit my practice by highlighting the importance of my duty to patients and motivating me to work on helping patients. It could also assist in resolving ethical dilemmas involving patients’ spouses or family members because applying this theory means prioritizing the patient’s interests. Additionally, deontology will help me in applying ethical principles consistently, because I believe that, as a care provider, it is my duty to do so. Utilitarianism will be useful for me because it would support me in choosing the most beneficial treatment. It will also help me to avoid harming patients by considering the consequences of each decision. Moreover, applying utilitarianism will allow me to maintain a work-life balance because I would be able to help more patients if I am alert, well-rested, and satisfied with my job. The growth in life expectancy prompted an increase in the share of older adults. However, most of them suffer from chronic health conditions, including mental health decline. Thus, the two most important issues for older patie
Introduction What a good way of concealing meanings in another kind of writing that is descriptively true than the work of Alice Walker entitled “Am I Blue?” At the start, one thinks that the story revolves around a horse named Blue, yet subtly, the author has other intentions. This becomes the outlet of the author as she looks at the women and the animals who both endure discrimination. The name is appropriately chosen as Blue, connoting depression and being alone. She maintains that living things must not be treated differently only because it is in a different form. Main body The owners of Blue are motivated to buy another horse so that they could reproduce. The story begins in a narrative style but as the story progresses; one gleans the author’s t
