Assignment details
Weight
25%
Objectives
The overall essay assignment is intended to evaluate your ability to apply course theories, frameworks, and perspectives to understand and provide insights into contemporary, real-world employment relations problems and policy issues. Part 3 is where you draw on the building blocks from Parts 1 and 2 and deliver your fully developed analysis and argument.
Requirements
Write a final essay addressing each of the required topics and questions. See below for additional requirements and guidance.
Style and format
· Your essay should be approximately 8 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point-font, and 1-inch margins. Your reference list is not included in the page count. · It should be written in a MS Word, Pages, or Google document and then saved and submitted as a PDF. · It should be clear, organized, and free of spelling and grammar errors. · It should have numbered pages and a header page (see below for details). · The use of appropriate headings is encouraged to enhance readability. · You should include at least five different high-quality references, which you identified in Assignment Part 1 and 2. Use APA citation style for in-text citations, and include full references at the end of the paper. If you would like detailed written comments on your essay and you did not already do so in Assignment Part 1 or 2, please include the following sentence on your header page: “I would value receiving detailed written comments from the instructors.”
Additional Requirements and Guidance
Sources
Remember, your reference list should include at least one academic or “scholarly” source (e.g. books or articles in academic journals, sources of original data, etc.). You need not cite our class sessions as the source of key class concepts, but you may wish to cite academic sources to expand on these concepts. You may use “popular sources” including news articles, podcasts, videos, etc. produced by reputable media outlets. You may use additional sources in your final essay that you did not already identify in Assignment Part 1 or 2. Your essay MUST include in-text citations. Quotations require citations, as do facts which are not common knowledge and ideas which are not your own. Thus, if you paraphrase an article instead of quoting it, you must still cite it. In your reference list, do NOT include sources you have not cited in the body of your essay. If you have any doubts about the appropriate citation style, please contact a librarian, an instructor, or a TA. Overall Assignment Details You have already selected an organization and issue for Assignment Parts 1 and 2. You should NOT change your selection for Part 3 without extenuating circumstances. Please contact an instructor if you have questions or concerns about your prior selection. You should address ALL of the following main points in your essay. However, when a point below says “e.g.,”, you need not address all of the specific items or sub-questions. They are there as examples. For instance, you may wish to discuss a class concept that is not listed below. You should repeat and expand on the information that you submitted in your outline for Part 2. Describe the organization (e.g., for a for-profit organization, you could describe the sector, industry, history, ownership structure, primary business activities, product markets, types of jobs, etc.). You may also choose a union, a government organization, or another type of organization. Describe the issue this organization is currently facing (e.g., What is the problem? What aspects of the organization does this problem affect? What are the steps the organization is considering or has taken to address the issue?) Describe how key class concepts relate to the issue. (e.g., Which of the types of conflict that we have discussed are causing or arising from this issue? Which of the perspectives on employment relations best describes how the organization has responded to the issue so far? What assumptions about ‘why we work’ are being represented in the organization’s response?) Analyze the issue and its potential solution(s). In your opinion, which of the perspectives on employment relations should the organization draw on to effectively handle the issue? Consider what perspective might allow the organization to balance the objectives of efficiency, equity, and voice in the employment relationship and to incorporate the interests of its other stakeholders (e.g., customers, communities, environment). Formatting You are free to add section headings or not to the body of your essay, but all essays should have a formal Introduction and Conclusion. (An Introduction typically does not have a section header.) A good rule to follow is that 70% of an essay should be occupied by the body, 20% for the introduction and 10% for the conclusion. In an 8-page essay this means 1.5 page for the introduction, 5.5 pages for the body, and <1 page for the conclusion. Your essay should be followed by a reference section (not included in the page count). Appendices where images, figures, tables, etc., listed in the text should be located at the very end of your essay (also not included in the page count). The first page of your submission should be a cover page with your essay title, name, course information, and date, formatted similarly to the image to the right.
APA Example (accessed from R. Gomez IRE240 assignment instructions) In the following excerpt, APA style in-text citations are highlighted, and a reference list is included. In his classic study, Pinker (1994) summarized the skepticism of current researchers and observers about whether the signs produced in the Washoe project were really American Sign Language. His conclusion was that chimpanzees’ abilities at “anything one would want to call language” were almost nil (p. 339). A group of statisticians (Tannenbaum, Leung, Sudha, & White, 2005) who re-analysed published data argued further that the compound words once claimed as inventions of a particular chimpanzee were the results of repeated random juxtapositions. Even Premack (2007) has now rejected his own past claims for chimpanzee cognition, outlining the key differences between chimpanzees and humans revealed by brain imaging and calling for closer scrutiny of experimental results.References Pinker, S. (1994). The language instinct: How the mind creates language. New York: Morrow. Premack, D. (2007). Human and animal cognition: Continuity and discontinuity. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 194, 13861-13867. doi:10.1073/pnas.0706147104 Tannenbaum, R. V., Leung, K., Sudha, J. R., & White, M. A. (2005).

Marking scheme
An exemplary response (15 points) will do the following: (You will note that these are the same items from Part 2. We will simply be evaluating them more rigorously in your written work than we did in your outline.)
1. Identify and describe the organization and issue in enough detail that the reader can fully understand your subsequent analysis.
2. Accurately relate the issue to one or more employment relations concepts discussed in class. Provide enough detail that demonstrates you fully understand the concept(s) in addition to how the concept(s) applies to your organization and issue.
3. Clearly state and defend your opinion, supported by class concepts and other sources, about how the organization should resolve the issue. Clearly state which of the four IR perspectives best fits your proposed solution.
4. Include at least five reference sources (at least one of which is an academic source) and indicate (though in-text citations) which of your points are supported by which sources.
· CIRHR courses use APA style, unless otherwise specified
· Citation software, such as RefWorks, can help you quickly generate citations; you can also copy APA citation from Google Scholar (look for the cite icon under the article link) and most journal websites.

As a leader within the school, you are often asked to organize a committee to support your school’s goals. Your principal has asked you to set up a committee consisting of teachers, parents, and community business partners. The committee will evaluate your school’s prior year’s budget plan and make the necessary budget cuts to meet the future cutbacks requested by the district school board and superintendent for the future school year.
Directions
Open the Budget Worksheet.( Attached)
Review the funds listed. The school board and superintendent have indicated the funds listed are the only ones that may be cut for the future school year.
Do your research now so that you can explain each fund to the committee and which school services and stakeholders are being affected by the listed fund areas if there is a major cut to this fund area.
The school board and superintendent requested your school’s budget be reduced by $14,000.00 for the future school year. You and your committee will review each fund listed in the worksheet, then make the $14,000.00 cut, then indicate the new adjusted proposed budget in column D in the budget worksheet.
(Fill in column D of worksheet read instructions above )
In addition to the budget worksheet, you will create a 3- to 5-page executive summary for the school board and superintendent.
The executive summary will include the following headers and content:
A. Introduction: Explain the committee’s goal.
B. Committee: As the leader, you will need to select from your school, parents, and community business leaders for those members who will work on your school’s committee. List the members of the team you think a leader would and include the following information: -School association (parent, teacher, or community business partner) -Diversity (information about the diversity of your committee) -Demographics (explain how your committee is representing the actual demographics of your school’s community)
C. Strategic Approach: What strategy did you, the leader, of this committee use to move the committee through the process for fund reduction? Include the following: -The definition of each fund related to your school. -The process used for identifying each fund area suggested for reduction. -Objections and feedback from the committee. -The final selection process used to identify the final proposed funds for reduction.
D. Justify each fund selected by your committee for reduction. In your justification, include the following: -Why did the committee select this fund? -What was the tally of votes for/against this fund reduction? -What were the concerns within the committee for this proposed fund reduction? -Who or what services will be affected by this fund reduction? -What alternative funding sources have been researched to replace this fund reduction? -How will this fund reduction be announced to the stakeholders?
E. Provide a timeline with the following key dates: -Committee meeting schedule. -Fund selection milestones. -Final vote for selected fund reductions. -Executive summary and budget submission. -Stakeholder’s notified and public announcement. -Implementation date for new budget. -Committee future meeting schedule to research and locate alternative funding sources.
Discussion 4 Topic: Aspects of designing a School Budget
Imagine that you have been asked to be on a panel of school administrators at a national conference. Your panel is presenting information on what you see as “hot topics” regarding the design process and the strategies used to maintain a K–12 school budget.
Use these articles as a starting point for your research:
Ezarik, Melissa. (2019, July 25). 5 strategies for balancing the budget while preserving instruction. DA District Administration. https://districtadministration.com/5-strategies-for-balancing-the-budget-while-preserving-instruction/
Griffith, M. (2005). School finance litigation and beyond [Policy brief]. Education Commission of the States. http://ecs.org/clearinghouse/60/26/6026.pdf
Thro, W. E. (1994, May). Judicial analysis during the third wave of school finance litigation: The Massachusetts decision as model. Boston College Law Review, 35(3).
Zdroik, M. (n.d.). Prepare for budgeting. Skyward. https://www.skyward.com/discover/educator-newsletter-blog/november-2016/prepare-for-budgeting
Feel free to find additional articles in the Library or from the internet that you can use as well. Your task is to use the articles to form an outline of your presentation. The outline should contain your main talking points concerning the design, implementation, and maintenance of a K–12 budget, as well as, a brief summary of each point. Post your response to the Discussion Board.
Discussion 5 Topic: Current Financial Trends in Education
When certain areas are not covered in the budget or when a school budget falls short of funds, a current trend in schools today is having parents purchase school supplies, uniforms, and to pay fees for textbooks, clubs, and athletics. In today’s current educational environment, this is not an ideal situation and this requirement can be difficult for some families. Look into what your local policies are regarding families providing school supplies, textbooks, uniforms, club or athletic fees, or any other parent funded requirement and then answer the following questions:
How does your local school district handle this matter as it relates to fees, supplies, and textbooks for all families? Is there a distinction between socioeconomic classes? Does your local school district make accommodations for families that cannot afford fees and supplies? If so, what are they? Are these accommodations confidential? The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) calls for a free and appropriate education for children with disabilities. Should that apply to school supplies and other school fees? Does your school district offer funding assistance for supplies and activities for students with disabilities? As a lead teacher, what policies and procedures would you implement in your school if you were to look at the current financial trends and wanted to ensure all students had the supplies and material necessary to be successful?
Discussion 6 Topic: Future Trends of a Virtual Learning Environment.
Your current board of education members wish to explore and understand more about virtual education, and the future of education concerning quality, delivery, and financial aspects. Due to the recent virus epidemic, there is the possibility that a virtual learning environment will be the new normal.
Contemplate this scenario: Your district’s school board is struggling with the board of education which has some questions and concerns about implementing and funding virtual education. As with many boards, several members are from the private sector and their knowledge of how learning, especially virtual learning, takes place is limited. The teacher’s union also has issues and questions about the virtual learning environment and how it will be administered. Your PTO (parent/teacher organization) has asked you to present a short discussion on this topic. Your audience will be teachers, community members, the school board, and the superintendent. Consider how you will discuss the issue. Research current and possible future trends regarding virtual education and post to the questions below:
What implications does this learning environment have for the future of education as well as the staff and teachers? What are the implications for student achievement? What would be the possibility of a blended learning environment where both virtual and in-person classes could be held? How does a virtual learning environment impact school finances?
As a grade level leader, there will be many times when you wish to share research and trends with your staff and community. Unfortunately, these are all busy people and do not often have the time or motivation to read lengthy articles or books. A “white paper” is one way to share that information in a short, concise, researched paper. By providing this kind of thoughtful work to your staff and community, not only will you increase the likelihood that your audience will read the material, but your staff and community will see you in a more scholarly and trustworthy manner.
Directions:
Teachers, and the school systems that employ them, face many challenges during the school year. COVID-19 has taken educational challenges to a new level regarding continued safety and meeting the requirements set forth by federal, state, and local leaders. Imagine that you are the grade level leader of a school where COVID-19 has impacted your community. You are charged by the school board with providing a safe, healthy, and secure school. You need to make sure teachers are using current technology and teaching methods, and that your school is preparing students to be productive 21st-century citizens. The recent COVID-19 virus has shown that your school lacks the bandwidth, equipment, and technology to transition to a virtual learning environment and this has caused concern in the local community; however, the community also believes that the school is adequate if only teachers would work harder.
You are faced with the task of opening your school during this trying time. You need to make sure the protocols are in place such as the proper social distancing and safety equipment (masks, plexiglass, etc.) for all who enter the school building. The financial implications are a concern for you and the community. Will you need more tables or student desks to adhere to the social distancing requirements? Will you have to lay off any employees (lunchroom workers, bus drivers, janitors) due to a modified school schedule?
Write a white paper that addresses these current and future trends as they relate to financial implications you may face. Explain in the paper whether you will require more or less funds to maintain the educational level your community is accustomed to. Also, include why you may or may not need additional funds to support an overall upgrade for the school that may include more technology and equipment which would create a positive virtual learning environment during this and any future crisis. Be as creative as you can to determine the best source of where the possible funds will come from.
Your white paper should be 4–5 pages and should follow this format:
The Problem Proof the Problem Exists Additional Problems The Basic Solution Your Solution (how much funding you need, and where should it come from) Minimum of three resources
