A conundrum: rubrics for creativity/metacognitive development

Refer to the article ‘A conundrum: rubrics for creativity/metacognitive development’.  This article is included in this Unit’s reading list. 

  1. Analyze and respond to the following statement from the above-mentioned article:

On the use of rubrics to generate artifacts for grading… ‘our concern is that the teacher is restricting students’ problem solving, decision-making, and creativity—traits needed in a democratic society for governance as well as for economic productivity. Are today’s educators systematically discouraging creative thought and actions by our P–12 learners? Matching their work to a teacher-designed template (i.e., a scoring rubric) is different from analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating elements as students pull a product together for an assignment.

2. Examine whether in your use of rubrics (current or future use) you allow for ‘creativity’, ‘flexibility’ and ‘individual initiative’. Support your ideas with examples.

Submit a paper which is 2-3 pages in length, exclusive of the reference page, double-spaced using 12 point, Times New Roman font. The paper must be well written and cite at least 3 outside sources and two from the ones that are provided below in APA format.  Check all content for grammar, spelling and to be sure that you have properly cited all resources (in APA format) used.

    Education of English Language Learners and Students With Disabilities

    Overview

    Your current position is an educational consultant of English language learners (ELL) and students with disabilities in the New Brookhaven School. (You may determine the level of the school: early childhood, elementary, middle, or high school.) The teachers you are assigned to work with have taught in the school for 5–10 years. Each teacher is set in his or her ways. The test scores on achievement tests for neighborhood typical learning students are average to above average. Students with disabilities are known to be excluded from standardized testing and some classroom activities. Five ELL students have also just arrived at the school from the new community immigrant host program. Parents of the ELL students do not speak English and will need an interpreter to work with the school and communicate with teachers. Two of the ELL students are known for exhibiting behavioral outbursts in class. Several of the students with disabilities also have Behavioral Intervention Plans and are behind academically. Parents of the students with disabilities often complain that their children are not receiving a fair education and are treated differently than their peers. The school has limited technology funding. Your position in the school is to create a learning environment that is educationally sound for the ELL students and students with disabilities.

    Instructions

    Write an 8–10 page paper in which you:

    1. Summarize a background scenario of the school, teachers, teaching environment, and students.
    2. Explain how you would establish and integrate programs for students with disabilities and ELL students. Research and cite two case law findings that impact programs for students with disabilities and ELL students.
    3. Analyze how school resources and public school funding could be utilized or reappropriated for technology and specialized programs for student learning and engagement. Research and cite one case law finding or legislative act that impacts school resources and public school funding allocations.
    4. Discuss how incidents of behavioral infractions will be addressed.
    5. Recommend how the needs of students and teachers will be met as it relates to student and teacher freedom and safety.

    7. Explain a strategy for securing technology funding to meet student and teacher technology needs.
    8. Analyze three potential challenges to your proposed plan and explain how you would address these.
    9. Use at least six peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment including a conversation from a K-12 Administrator. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources. If you are uncertain that a resource qualifies as a peer-reviewed academic resource, please consult your course instructor. The K-12 Administrator qualifies as one academic resource.

    Purpose

    The purpose of this discussion forum is to create a collaborative environment in which you can strengthen your use of medical terminology and critical thinking skills while constructively sharing ideas and opinions regarding a medical scenario.

    Directions

    SCENARIO

    Identifying Data:

    This 72-year-old female presents with a biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma

    of the sigmoid colon at 20 cm.

    History of Present Illness:

    The patient has been noted to have some bright red bleeding intermittently for approximately 8 months, initially presumable of a hemorrhoidal basis. She recently has had an intensification of rectal bleeding but no weight loss, anorexia, or obstructive pain. No significant diarrhea or constipation. Some low back pain, probably unrelated. A recent colonoscopy by Dr. Scoma revealed a large sessile (attached by a broad base) polyp, which was partially excised at 20-cm level, showing infiltrating adenocarcinoma at the base. The patient is to enter the hospital at this time after home antibiotic and mechanical bowel prep, to undergo sigmoid colectomy and possible further resection. 

    1. Using the scenario above, answer the following questions:

    A. What chronic symptoms did this patient have? Describe the symptoms using medical terms.

    B. What was the cause of her chronic symptoms?

    C. What procedure did she have recently that diagnosed her condition? Name the procedure and briefly describe.

    D. The patient is scheduled for what procedure? Briefly explain the procedure.

    Follow these guidelines when answering the questions: 

    • Use a maximum of 100 words.
    • Be clear, concise, and well organized using as many pertinent medical terms as possible.

    Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments

    Waterways (Chapter 27)
    For this assignment, you will apply what you have learned from the unit lesson and required unit resources. The Waterways (WP27) case is located on page 27-35 of the textbook.
    Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return that it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
    This year, Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
    The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
    Information Old Backhoes New Backhoes
    Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
    Salvage value now $42,000
    Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
    Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
    Remaining life 8 years 8 years
    Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900

    Instructions:
    In the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or to overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
    Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old.
    Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
    Compare the profitability index for each choice.
    Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.
    Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision?
    What decision would you make, and why?
    Write your responses to these questions in a Word document. Your paper should be a minimum of two pages in length. You are not required to support your assignment with outside sources; however, if you do, adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references.
