Differentiated Assessment

Over the past four weeks you’ve had the opportunity to create a classroom environment that supports the foundations of differentiated instruction (DI), brainstorm differentiated strategies that align with the Common Core State Standards, and create the foundation for a unit plan based that incorporates instructional technology while adhering to UDL and DI principles.

This week, you will use what you’ve learned to create a summative assessment for the unit plan you created using one of the strategies from your PLC blog, and with the classroom environment you’ve outlined in Week Two.

This summative assessment must:

1. 1. Identify the Common Core State Standard being assessed for mastery (it can be the same one you used in Week Four’s assignment).
   2. Identify a unit goal that aligns with the Common Core State Standard.

For example: The students will (Measurable Verb) by (A specific outcome with a specific tool) with ___% accuracy. 

1. You will also address:

• Measurable mastery – Describe how mastery can be measured. (e.g., classify, discriminate, create, construct, defend, predict, evaluate, etc.). Be sure to avoid subjective words such as know, understand, learn, or appreciate.
• A specific outcome – Explain what students will do to demonstrate mastery. (e.g., skill or knowledge that has been gained as a result of this unit).
• Measurable progress – Identify the tool that will be used to measure mastery. (e.g., project, journal, test, etc.).
• Proficiency Level – Determine the acceptable level of achievement to demonstrate mastery.

Create three formative assessments using the three day lesson plan outline from the unit plan. Be sure that each formative assessment addresses:

• a unique, differentiated teaching strategy for each day’s lesson,
• multiple intelligences,
• student’s different learning styles, and
• how the assessment results will be used to drive instruction.

Create a summative assessment that appraises mastery of the Common Core State Standard and the Unit Objective. Be sure to use the summative assessment outline plan from the unit plan. The summative assessment must include:

• Directions to complete the assessment written using vocabulary and terms geared towards your identified student population.
• A rubric that clearly details how each part of the assignment will be graded.
• Provisions for addressing multiple intelligences and various learning styles.

The assignment should be a minimum of five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages, and must include reference to the course text and one additional resource (scholarly article or online resource). The assignment must be cited in proper APA format. A title and reference page must be included.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Remember that you are the Human Resources Manager for Epic Health Solutions. It is now important to pay the new Claims Supervisor position competitively, provide fair benefits, and state (according to labor relations laws) whether or not the position would be in a labor union.

In a 2-3 page report, prepared in APA format with at least two references, do the following:

• Explain what job evaluation method you are going to use to determine the worth of this position.
• Describe what your recommend salary and benefits package is going to be and if you recommend any incentives or bonus plans.
• Finish your report by stating if this job is eligible to be in the union. Explain why or why not.

One of the products that Company W makes is snack foods. The research and development department of Company W has developed a new formula for one type of snack food that is cheaper to make than the current formula. They want to test the new formula with consumers. They want to see if consumers can tell the difference between the old and new formulas. You propose to conduct this test and analyze the results in line with WidgeCorp’s approach to gathering statistical data and use it to form business intelligence decisions. You first need to explain the process to senior management at Company W. You advocate using an unbiased sample of consumers in their test, so that Company W is randomly selecting people based on the following: age; whether or not they have kids; where they live; how often they buy snack foods; and whether or not they already buy the current product.

Prepare a presentation that addresses the following:

• List at least 3 qualitative attributes of the snack food about which they might want to ask consumers. Make sure at least 1 of them is nominal.
• For each attribute that is ordinal, assign names for the endpoints of a 5 point rating scale.
• Explain the difference between nominal and ordinal data.
• Explain how nominal and ordinal data relate to a rating scale.
• List at least 2 quantitative attributes of snack food that the scientists might want to measure.
• Explain the difference between interval and ratio data.
• Include in your presentation the concept of business intelligence.
• Include in your presentation the difference between a population and a sample.
• Note why it is important to avoid bias when conducting research (see note below).

Due Week 6 and worth 300 points

Choose an industry you have not yet written about in this course, and one publicly traded corporation within that industry. Research the company on its own Website, the public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), in the University’s online databases, and any other sources you can find. The annual report will often provide insights that can help address some of these questions.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Analyze the business-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the business-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether or not you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.
2. Analyze the corporate-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the corporate-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether or not you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.
3. Analyze the competitive environment to determine the corporation’s most significant competitor.  Compare their strategies at each level and evaluate which company you think is most likely to be successful in the long term. Justify your choice.
4. Determine whether your choice from Question 3 would differ in slow-cycle and fast-cycle markets.
5. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Identify various levels and types of strategy in a firm.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in business administration.
• Write clearly and concisely about business administration using proper writing mechanics.
