Purpose The following activity forms part of your assessment of competence. You may also need to provide various workplace documents or third-party reports. Your trainer will give you guidance in this area. This assessment activity is designed to assess your skills and knowledge across the whole unit CHCECE023 Analyse information to inform learning. Requirements To complete this assessment activity, you need: • access to a children’s services environment • access to the service’s standards, policies and procedures • access to the National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework • to be observed demonstrating performance as outlined in Part A • to complete the tasks outlined in Part B and Part C and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training organisation • to ensure you maintain confidentiality as required.
Part A Your trainer needs to see demonstrated evidence of your performance in the following areas. Observations may take place in your workplace or in a simulated environment. Your trainer/assessor/training organisation will provide guidance as to how these observations will take place. Demonstration of your performance as outlined in Part A can be undertaken in conjunction with Part B. Performance evidence Example Demonstrate how you collected and documented observations of at least three different children, including: children’s behaviour and learning Show your trainer/assessor how you: observed the children and kept notes of their behaviour read enrolment records to identify their behaviour at home and their developmental abilities read incident and specialist reports to identify behaviour issues. children’s play preferences Show your trainer/assessor: an assessment record you have completed that demonstrates you are aware of a child’s interests how you discussed what type of play the children enjoyed at home. strengths, interests and relationships. Show your trainer/assessor: samples of children’s work that helped you identify their interests and developmental strengths notes you kept about a child’s relationships following discussion with parents and other educators how you have planned an experience that responds to a child’s strengths. Demonstrate how you applied information to educational practice, including: sharing information with families, educators, children, experts and specialists Show your trainer/assessor how you: arranged meetings and used pick-up and drop-off times to share information about a child with their family discussed a child’s progress with other educators at team meetings collaborated with specialists to provide a comprehensive view of a child. collaborating with families to plan for children’s individual needs Show your trainer/assessor: how you arranged meetings and informal discussions with families to ensure they were involved in contributing ideas to plan an appropriate experience for their child shared the child’s program with parents at a one-on-one meeting. using information gathered to inform planning. Show your trainer/assessor how you: used the information about a family’s circumstances, culture and interests and their child’s skills, relationships, interests and needs to plan a responsive and appropriate plan of activities and experiences for the child planned an experience that responded to the child’s strengths and developmental stage. Part B You are to collect information about one more child of any age and plan responsive learning experiences for these children to demonstrate that you can: • collect information about children from a range of sources and over a period of time to help you plan for children • analyse and assess the information you gather • use the evidence gathered and analysed to plan appropriate activities • collaborate and share information with families. Use a different child of any age from those you may have used for assessments in chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Complete the following tasks.
Use a confidential portfolio assessment method (see section 1B) to collate the records you collect about the child. This confidential child portfolio allows your trainer/assessor to see how you analyse information to inform learning. Prepare a portfolio for the child. Include forms for at least three recording method formats you will use (such as learning stories, anecdotal records, checklists, jottings and event samples). Each format must include space for: • the observation record • parents and other educators to provide additional information • a formative assessment linked to the EYLF learning outcomes. Ask your supervisor or educational leader to approve the child portfolio and the methods you will use to collect information before you present them to parents. Before observing and collecting information about each child, speak with their parents. Explain your plans and show them the child portfolio assessment you have begun to prepare (the method you will use to document their child’s development). Explain how you would like them to participate in their child’s assessment. Check your service policies about how parents give approval for their child to be observed and their learning and development recorded and photographed, then develop a word-processed parent permission form to be used specifically for this assessment task. Have your supervisor check this form to ensure it is professional and contains appropriate information, including: • your name • the role you are playing in the service (educator, student, volunteer) • why you are collecting the information • how you will be using the information • how the parents will be involved in the process • whether the parent allows you to include photographs of their child in your records. • whether the parent agrees that you can share the information with other educators and your trainer/assessor • how you will maintain their confidentiality by following service policies and procedures, responding to the ECA Code of Ethics, and by storing and using the records. Request that the parents sign the permission form. You must have their signature before you start observing the child. Add the signed permission form to the child’s confidential portfolio. Gather, document and analyse information about the child who you are working with, adding each piece of information to the child’s confidential portfolio. Ensure each item added is clearly dated and named. Use a range of recording types (for example, enrolment forms, learning stories, anecdotal records, event samples) including the templates you prepared in question 1. Ensure the information: • spans a reasonable period of time and is collected in different spaces • provides relevant and significant background information about the child • identifies and describes the child’s learning, strengths, interests, relationships, play preferences and behaviour • monitors at least one developmental aspect (for example, physical milestones) • includes the voice of a specialist or other professional (if applicable) • includes the voice of the child, the parents and other educators • addresses assessment principles (valid, representative, significant, relevant, inclusive) • includes each of the five EYLF Outcomes. Analyse each record you gather in an unbiased and methodical manner so it represents a true and accurate picture of the child. You may wish to use a checklist similar to the following to check off the information you have gathered about each child. Information required for portfolio Child 1 Background information: name age how often the child attends the service cultural and lifestyle influences dietary or other restrictions or preferences health issues specialist or other intervention Learning Strengths Interests Relationships Play preferences Behaviour Developmental monitoring Additional information from specialists and/or other professionals (if applicable) Additional information from the child Additional information from other educators Additional information from the family Enough information over time and in a variety of spaces to ensure each assessment will be valid, significant, representative, relevant and inclusive Each of the EYLF Outcomes must be represented in the information you have gathered, recorded and analysed. ? Outcome 1 ? Outcome 2 ? Outcome 3 ? Outcome 4 ? Outcome 5 Develop a summative assessment based on the child’s progress toward the relevant Outcomes of the EYLF. Address your summative assessment to specific Outcomes as appropriate. Present your child portfolio, including the summative assessment, to your supervisor or the educator responsible for the three children. Ask them to add their comments to the summative assessment you prepared for the child’s portfolio. Use the three summative assessments to plan appropriate learning environments, activities and experiences for the child. The experiences you plan must meet the following six criteria. Experience criteria (for each child) Minimum number of experiences required Experiences that include specific EYLF Outcomes from each of the five main EYLF Outcomes Five An intentional teaching opportunity Three An experience that responds to child’s strengths Three An experience that responds to the child’s interests Three An experience that responds to the child’s relations Three An experience that supports learning through play Three For each experience, include: • the name of the experience • who the experience is provided for • how many children will be involved • the specific EYLF Outcome the experience relates to • a goal and/or objective • a description of the experience • the materials and resources you will use • how you will set up the learning environment • how you will use modelling during the experience to support learning • how you might provide additional support to a child. Present your completed confidential child portfolio to your supervisor or the educator responsible for the child.

Analyzing Social Problems and Social Policy: Mental illnesses
Description and causes
Within modern society, mental health illness is one of the most effective problems experienced by most people. Mental health refers to behavioral, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Mental illness thus refers to a condition that affects an individual’s feelings, mood, thinking, and behaviors. Some of the most common mental illnesses include anxiety, major bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, and trauma.
Several factors usually bring about mental health challenges. One of the main factors leading to mental health challenges is substance abuse. According to a study by Smith et al. (2017), there is a high correlation between substance use and mental health challenges. Thus, substance use could be used as a predictor of mental illnesses. Additionally, early adverse life experiences, for example, exposure to violence and sexual assault, could lead to mental illnesses. Duin et al. (2018) support this view, who conducted empirical research on the role of adverse childhood experiences on mental health and found a positive relationship between the two variables.
Mental illnesses in society
According to the CDC (2021), 1 in 25 American citizens live with serious mental challenges including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or a major depression. Additionally,1in every 5 American adults are diagnosed with at least one mental illness in any given year. The statistics indicate the high prevalence of mental health issues within modern society, hence why it is one of the main focus areas of social workers.
Risk Population
The issue of mental illness is typically experienced across the demographic scope affecting people of all ages and races. However, mental health issues are highly diverse along racial lines whereby adults exhibiting two or more races experience 31.7% prevalence compared to white adults with 22.2% (National Institute of Mental Health (NIH), 2019). This statistic indicates the prevalence of risk factors within the minority communities compared to the white ethnic groups. Some of the risk factors include disparities that come with racism, including poor access to quality mental health care and other social-economic constraints (McKnight, 2021).
Theories of Mental health
Some of the most effective theories used in explaining mental health issues include behaviorism, biological, cognitive, humanistic, and psychodynamic theories. Behaviorism theorists believe that life experiences manifest behaviors; for example, Freud’s theory suggests that the body undergoes several psychosexual stages. On the other hand, psychodynamic theories focus on the driving forces within individuals that motivate their behavior. An example is Erik Erikson’s theory which analyzes an individual’s growth through eight stages in exploring deficiencies in their behavior. On the other hand, cognitive theories emphasize that behaviors are shaped by attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs of individuals. An example of a cognitive theory includes Piaget’s developmental theory and social-cultural cognitive theory.
The most common method applied by scholars in assessing and treating mental health issues involves therapy, whereby a counselor tries to evaluate the origin of the problem and its prevalence within society. One of the approaches undertaken by the government consists of the development of policies under the Affordable Care Policy (ACA) to promote accessibility and health-seeking behavior of people experiencing mental health issues. An example of such a policy is the accessibility of healthcare to as long as somebody has insurance coverage. According to Thomas et al. (2017), there have been positive results in the mental well-being of U.S citizens ever since the introduction of the policy. The improvement in mental well-being reflects the significance of accessibility as an approach towards solving mental health issues.

Take-home Midterm Case Instructions
Papers are due BY 11:59 p.m. ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2021 AT um learn website of the course. You should plan to upload the paper by 11:30 p.m. to avoid any chances of being late. Any papers that arrive late will receive a late penalty as described in these instructions and the course outline. The late policy will be strictly enforced to keep the level playing field for all students.
The Assignment
Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua and his team, aware of your skills in strategic analysis, have asked you to help them assess the situation and to recommend a strategy for the company for the next five years. Please prepare a report for them giving your appraisal of the situation and your recommendations, considering strategy formulation as well as implementation issues, and using the format given in the “General Guidelines for Analyzing and Writing Cases” provided at the UM Learn website of the course. Please do not limit yourself to the alternatives, if any, given in the case so you may build other strategic alternatives and consider them before making a recommendation. The case is available for purchase at the Ivey Publishing’s website. Its title is “Mobileye 2021: Robotaxi and/or Consumer AV” and its number is 721481. Its date is June 2, 2021. The case is from the Harvard Business School. Be sure to buy the case mentioned above because there are other cases on Mobileye. In fact, I have added this case to the Administrative Policy coursepack as well (see at the bottom of the coursepack). Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Midterm Examination Case Specifications
The paper must be between 2,000–2,800 words and printed on a maximum of nine (9) pages in double-space with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch (2.54 centimeters) margins on all sides (maximum 23 lines per page). You must use paragraphs and headings in keeping with appropriate business writing form. Use a tab at the beginning of the paragraph to clearly distinguish it from previous paragraphs. Do not use any footnotes. You may use either left justification or both left and right justification.
The word-count limit and the nine-page limit do not include the Title Page or any exhibits. However, they do include the executive summary. Therefore, ignore the Title Page and begin page number one with the Executive Summary. Please do not use fancy fonts. Avoid extended use of bold or italics also. Papers that grossly violate these guidelines will receive a failing grade (e.g., using a font smaller than the one specified here or using single space text in the body of the paper will receive a failing grade). Points may be deducted for other violations (e.g., at least ten per cent points will be deducted for each additional page or part thereof {Hint: “part thereof” here means at least ten per cent points will be deducted for any part of the tenth or any subsequent page}). Ten per cent deduction means that if you receive 80 per cent marks in the exam, violation of one page (or part thereof) will reduce it to 70 per cent. Please be sure that the text of the paper as well as the exhibits are readable. It may be better to copy and paste exhibits from Excel to Word rather than use their pictures or screenshots. As you know, pictures or screenshots make the numbers difficult to read.
Clarification: Stop when you reach 2,800 words or nine pages in the given format. In other words, the paper must meet both conditions: Not more than 2,800 words and not more than nine pages in the given format. Include the Word Count and the Page Count on the statement of integrity and the title page (as shown above). Keep in mind that the word count and the page count include the headings and subheadings that are part of the text of the paper. You may underline or use bold letters for the headings of various sections to show them clearly.
Submitting the Case – Uploading at UM Learn
Papers must be submitted in a pdf format by the deadline at UM Learn in the Midterm Exam folder of the course. The pdf copy must have all pages of the text as well as the exhibits. The papers should have a Title Page as given in these instructions. Papers with any student’s name or without the word count will not be accepted (No student names anywhere on the exam!). Each page of the report should contain a header or footer with the student number, section number, and page number. Make sure you put the signed Statement of Integrity (SOI) in a different file and name it so it is easily identifiable.
Students are also required to submit exact electronic copies of the paper in the Word format at UM Learn. Please do not email the electronic copies to your instructor. When you submit a file at UM Learn, you will get a receipt. Also, AACSB Assurance of Learning Committee will need to access them at UM Learn for their use. Please submit one document in the Microsoft Word format, which should have all the text as well as the exhibits. Please name the files as follows: GMGT4010-Midterm-Section Number-Student Number. Please do not submit more than these three documents (a pdf file, a Word file, and the Statement of Integrity (SOI) file). As you know, the pdf document ensures that the formatting stays the same, irrespective of the computer settings.
As mentioned in the course outline, please note the following for late penalty (on weekdays as well as weekends): Late submissions, including those delayed by computer-related difficulties, will be penalized ten percentage points for every 24 hour period, or portion thereof late. For example, a student who earns a score of 80% on his/her paper will receive a score of 70% if the paper was submitted one day late. Exam papers will not be accepted after 48 hours. Exceptional circumstances which might jeopardize your ability to meet this deadline must be brought to your instructor’s attention prior to the due date, or else they cannot be considered as grounds for exemption from this late penalty. If you are involved in any co-curricular activities (e.g., case competitions at another university), you are expected to complete and submit the paper prior to the deadline.
Saving Copies of the Paper
Neither the department nor the university accepts any responsibility for potential loss of papers during handling. Such a loss may be extremely rare; nevertheless, to protect against this theoretical possibility, all students are required to keep a hard and an electronic copy of the paper that they submit. Don’t forget to save multiple soft copies to avoid any chance of losing your disk, computer crash, or other such problems!
External Research
You are required to access the company’s annual financial information (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flows, and Stock Prices) from the Internet for at least three years (2018-2020). As you may know, this information is easily available at several websites, e.g., Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Marketwatch, Macrotrends, Wall Street Journal, etc. Some of these websites may also have key financial ratios of various companies available for several years. Usually, trends of these ratios for the most recent five years is sufficient. You may use the ratios from these websites in your report but be sure to provide the reference. As you know, it is more important to know how to interpret these ratios than how to calculate them.
This assignment is primarily based on the case and the financial information. Thus, you are not required to conduct any other external research on the company and its industries. You may search for other information up to June 2, 2021, if you would like to (the company’s fiscal year is from January to December). Even if you are searching for information from external sources, it should not be the focus of the paper. Moreover, search for or use of any information or data regarding this company and its industries after the above-mentioned date will be subject to hind-sight bias and will be considered a violation of university policy on Academic Integrity.
Be sure to provide references on a separate page for any search before the date given above and attach this page at the end of the paper. This page may contain only references and can be in addition to the text-pages and exhibits. The words on the reference page are not included in the word count of the paper. You may use APA or any other format. Please use your own words throughout the paper and do not use any direct quotations from the case or from the external sources. You may provide the citations (e.g., when you are providing Assumptions and their Justification exhibit) by the name of the author and year (e.g., Smith, 2020). If the source material does not have an author, you may use the name of publication (e.g., Wall Street Journal, 2020).
Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to consult any case solutions or teaching notes for the midterm case or any other case that may be related to the midterm case in any way
