Your goal is to select three positions of interest to you that meet the following criteria:

• A position you would qualify for with your Bachelor of Science degree in Child Development
• A position that requires a graduate-level degree to qualify
• A position that requires an advanced degree and/or significant years of experience and represents a career goal you would aspire to reach

After reviewing the Web sites, you may choose positions from one or both sites to complete the sheet. Make your selections based on the positions that interest you most.

• Save your completed Positions in the Early Childhood Field Career Exploration Sheet assignment as WK4Assgn2+last name+your first initial.
• Then post a copy of the assignment in the Doc Sharing area of your classroom by the end of Day 3.

• Part 2: Reflect on Your Research and Career Options

When you have completed the exploration sheet, respond to the following items:

• Based on all of the positions you reviewed for this Application, describe how this experience has influenced your previous ideas or assumptions, and/or helped you gain new insights into career opportunities in the early childhood field.

• For the three positions you selected, explain your ideas about how you can focus your education and professional growth—in this program and/or after you graduate—to prepare yourself to qualify for at least one of the positions in the future.

FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emergency managers with information and graphics drawn from myriad agencies, governmental, media, and other. The materials provided can be used to promote situational awareness or potentially have other applications.

For this unit’s discussion, visit http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/index.shtm. The situation updates start with today’s date and work backward. The site also lists archives for reports extending back to 2005 (and including Hurricane Katrina). Visit the report from June 7, 2011. Note how subordinate elements overlap or are incomplete and should be read with others. For example, “fire activity” lists a roll up of fires across the country, but “Fire Management Assistance Grant” details a few truly significant fires. Also, “flooding” is captured and reported by five separate regions, but the “Significant National Weather” details reveal that there are many rainstorms headed to those same regions.

Assignment Guidelines

• In 4–5 paragraphs, address the following:
  • Read through the reports of the last week. What trends or patterns are worth noting for the nation?
    • What information is particularly important for the region your county is located in?
    • Do you anticipate that your county will be specifically impacted by any of the conditions that are listed for the week?
      • Why or why not?
      • In answering this, consider how conditions elsewhere might ultimately impact your region or county. (Be creative and think about environmental, political, economic, or other factors that are normally beyond an emergency manager’s concerns but certainly in the realm of community leaders.)
  • Visit reports from May 10, 2011.
    • Which is the most important event of the day, in your opinion?
      • Do any of the incidents have meaning for your county—how so or why not?
    • Name and detail at least two significant events of that day with which you heard little or nothing.
      • What might each of these incidents mean for that region, in terms of consequences beyond the precise incident?
    • Examine the section on disaster declaration activity for this day. Research independently on

Using what you’ve learned from Chapters Six and Eight from Lefrançois as well as other resources along the way, develop a curriculum based assessment (CBA) centered on one of your two instructional plans from Weeks Three and Four.

1. State measurable and observable objectives (what you wanted students to learn).
2. Describe how you knew learning occurred prior to summative assessment.
3. Describe the instructional strategies used to prepare students for the summative assessment (from your previous instructional plan in either Weeks Three or Four).
4. Explain adjustments you made or should have made to your instruction to ensure mastery of learning objectives.
5. Describe how the use of technology contributed to student preparation for the summative assessment or how it will be added to and contribute to the summative assessment here.

Part 2: Design an easily accessible summative assessment (Approximately two to three pages)

1. Identify the grade level and subject matter and a measurable unit objective(s) and align with the stated standard as prescribed in the original instructional plan from either Week Three or Four and referenced from the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

3. Label each question with its corresponding:
   • Objective(s) (if more than one is being assessed)
   • Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels (Note at least two different cognitive levels must be measured on this assessment.)
4. Define and discuss criteria for scoring extended response and performance items.

Part 3: Provide Assessment Reflection (One to two pages).

1. Define how you determined mastery.
2. Explain how you will accommodate or modify for the special population previously described in Week Four (two students with specific learning disabilities in reading and math, one ADHD student, and one English language learner).
3. Describe how you will use the evidence collected.

Grading: You will submit a SINGLE document clearly labeled as Parts 1, 2, and 3. APA formatting will be followed, including the required cover and reference pages. You must use a minimum of five scholarly resources, in addition to the course text. Your resources should include a combination of peer-reviewed articles and web-based articles, and they must be cited in-text. You will be held accountable for each required subcomponent per part, viewable on the assignment rubric.

The Summative Assessment:

2. Must include a title page with the following:
   1. Title of paper
   2. Student’s name
   3. Course name and number
   4. Instructor’s name
   5. Date submitted
3. Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.

The manager of Sensible Essentials conducted an excellent seminar explaining debt and equity financing and how firms should analyze their cost of capital. Nevertheless, the guidelines failed to fully demonstrate the essence of the cost of debt and equity, which is the required rate of return expected by suppliers of funds.

You are the Genesis Energy accountant and have taken a class recently in financing. You agree to prepare a PowerPoint presentation of approximately 6–8 minutes using the examples and information below:

1. Debt: Jones Industries borrows $600,000 for 10 years with an annual payment of $100,000. What is the expected interest rate (cost of debt)?
2. Internal common stock: Jones Industries has a beta of 1.39. The risk-free rate as measured by the rate on short-term US Treasury bill is 3 percent, and the expected return on the overall market is 12 percent. Determine the expected rate of return on Jones’s stock (cost of equity). Here are the details:
