Background Information

Liam Rodriguez is a 40-month-old boy attending Little Explorers Daycare. He lives with his father and older sister. Liam’s father mentioned that while Liam is very energetic, he sometimes struggles with following instructions and expressing himself verbally.

Assessment Details

Two assessments were conducted (scoresheets have been posted to iCollege):

1. TALK Checklist
2. Alphabet Knowledge Assessment

Results

TALK Checklist

Liam’s language skills were observed during an interactive storybook reading activity:

●      He primarily used 1-3 word phrases using Tier 1 (basic) vocabulary.

●      Occasionally, he attempted complete sentences but often left them unfinished.

●      Liam used one Tier 2 (more sophisticated) word independently: “gigantic.”

●      He frequently relied on non-verbal communication, such as pointing and gesturing, to supplement his limited verbal expressions.

Alphabet Knowledge Assessment

Liam demonstrated the following skills:

●      Uppercase letter recognition: 10/26 (38%)

●      Lowercase letter recognition: 7/26 (27%)

●      Letter sound identification: 5/26 (19%)

He showed particular strength in recognizing letters A, B, O, L, and S as well as identifying the sound these letters made when modeled by the teacher. Liam struggled with most other letters, often confusing similar-looking letters or not attempting to identify them at all.

Total Points = 20 (2 points for each question)

Local Change

[WLOs: 1, 2, 3, 5] [CLOs: 2, 4, 5]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapter 5 of the text and the article Don’t Neglect This One Crucial Step of Leading Through Constant ChangeLinks to an external site..

Change does not always have to be big, extravagant, or newsworthy. Change is more often small, local, and vital to the sustainability of the business. The entire world experienced unbelievable change starting in 2020. From big to small, organizations were challenged with being agile and adaptable. Consider for a moment the number of distilleries that transformed their product from alcohol to hand cleaner. Those that did something, likely sustained and were able to transition back after the crisis. Having a plan and a process are the key elements of successful change.

For this final assignment, think small and think local. Be creative and think outside of the box. For example: what if you were in the business of making shoelaces for men’s dress shoes and your environmental scan shows that dress shoes are no longer a hot commodity. How do you transition to something sustainable?

Critical thinking is a key component of a change agent. The change problem can be real, or it can be created. It must be believable, and it must be thoroughly explained. You will diagnose the reason for change and present a plan to transform the organization, utilizing Kotter’s 8-Step Approach.

Introduction

This activity is an opportunity for you to closely examine a contemporary policy issue facing the state of Texas. Over its history, the Texas government has had many conflicts with the national government as part of the dynamics under a federal system of governance. These disputes have heated up in recent years, and include immigration policy, education policy, environmental policy, social welfare policy and many others issues. Select one of personal interest and objectively outline the nature of the dispute. This will allow you to work towards finding a solution.

Take into consideration constitutional disputes as well as political, economic and cultural differences. Look at the history underlying the dispute, how it is playing out within the governing institutions, and how you think the issue may be resolved, assuming that is possible.

Step 1: Identify the issue and how both the US government and Texas government have been currently addressing it (historical perspective). 

Step 2: Gather a minimum of three scholarly research articles and additional news/current events relevant to the topic.

Step 3: Prepare a formal policy report that is a minimum of 1000 words (excluding cited text), which includes a discussion of the following:

• A statement of the current policy

·        Reasons for initiating changes

·        Policy options to be considered

·        Pros and cons of each option

·        Recommended course of action

·        Reasoning for selecting that course of action

The grading standards used to assess the quality of your work for this policy paper will be detailed in a grading rubric, which will be provided during the semester.
