Evaluation Strategy Student Learning The Next Generation Science Standards which are endorsed by the National Science Teachers Association proposes that students should be taught to analyze and interpret data, be able to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents, and that variations of these traits exist in other organisms. This unit’s purpose is to make students aware of the concepts of genetics and inheritance and other related concepts. Students will learn…

Thomas Watson, former chairman of IBM said, “Nothing so conclusively proves a man’s ability to lead others, as what he does from day to day to lead himself.” In my current position, the best things I can do to strengthen and improve the teaching profession are to teach to the best of my abilities, be a professional, maintain a positive attitude, keep my focus student-centered, and influence other teachers to do the same. One of my fellow teachers, Mrs. Pam Parris, and her exceptional…

response that decreases the frequency of that response (Gines et al, 1989 p. 102). HOW PUNISHMENT WORKS After studying psychological mechanisms underlying punishment done by researchers, Kazdin has identified several elements that influence its effectiveness. These elements are the following (Gines et al, p. 102-104): 1. Schedule of punishment Generally, punishment is more effective when it is delivered every time, rather than intermittently. However, when you discontinue punishment, recovery…

2000s (U.S. Department of Education, 2010). As a result of the development and implementation of these tests at all grade levels over the past 20 years, teachers and students have been held accountable for high scores, as a means of showing the effectiveness of the teacher and school. Stories such as the Atlanta Public School System cheating scandal where teachers and administrators were encouraged to change student answers to raise the passing rates for schools are evidence of the emphasis…

done in each guideline. For example, the GOLD guidelines intervention focused on reducing the risk and symptoms of the patients. The fact that the study was randomized, controlled, and longitudinal was a strength regarding the results and the effectiveness of each management. The way the participants were selected was by strengths and weaknesses. Each participant was selected from “17 primary care clinic sites, which…

This is due largely to the lack of strict adherence to the principles of theory and treatment as laid out by Jean Ayres when she introduced SIT, as well as the use of outcome measures that are not “occupation” based. In an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of SIT intervention, this case study allows the researcher to intently analyze the outcomes and changes in behavior in response to the intervention applied. While it does not allow generalization, a case study informs clinical practice by…

of the Grove Press. The Coca-Cola company initially asserts that the simultaneous usage of their slogan will produce public confusion regarding the identification between their particular products. The corporation also states that the slogan’s effectiveness will substantially decrease and result in the loss of purchases. Coca-Cola approaches the situation logically, solely on the basis of historical precedent; their main weapon is a simple appeal to reason. Their argument appears objective,…

effectively. Using the most common antipsychotics, haloperidol for typical antipsychotic and olanzapine for an atypical antipsychotic, results will be tabulated across a range of scientific studies to conclude which drug has a better outcome of effectiveness for schizophrenic patients. Using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the results will be measured between the two types of drugs and their controls or baseline measurements. Subsections of this paper will evaluate the efficacy…

Healthcare professionals and parents should understand the importance of early identification and intervention (JCIH, 1994). Hearing loss affects children’s speech, language, academic, and social/emotional development if not identified early. The first three years in children’s lives are crucial for speech and language development. Thus, the ultimate goal of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) is to detect hearing loss early in order to treat hearing loss sooner, preventing a delay in…

Stem cells show the potential to be able to heal many types of injuries and degenerative diseases. Though stem cell therapies are questionable in their effectiveness, New York Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon opted to have a treatment done in the Dominican Republic after having persistent arm troubles that prevented him from completing a single full season from 2005 to 2012, and even forced him to sit out for the full season in 2010. Steve Sternberg, a regular correspondent of USA Today, reported…
