Following the divorce, their mother who shifted to Victoria, British Columbia brought up Monteith and his elder brother. After the divorce, it was difficult to meet his father Joe due to his military involvement and Monteith experienced social difficulties in school since he was thirteen years when he started using marijuana and alcohol and began to skip school (Daily Mail Reporter, 2013).
Monteith dropped out of school after attending sixteen schools, which include an alternative program for troubled teens. By the time he dropped from school, his alcohol, drug dependency had increased, and he turned to pretty crimes like stealing money from his family and friends in order to fund his addictions. However, his turning point in his life was experienced when he was nineteen years when his mother and her friends staged and intervened. After the intervention, he claimed that he was lucky to be alive. in 2011, he eventually received a high school diploma from an alternative school that he attended in Victoria. Before joining the show business, he had been involved in a number of jobs, which include taxicab driver, school bus driver, roofer, and mechanic (Jory, 2011).
Monteith started his acting career in British Columbia in Vancouver. He was involved in minor roles in Whisper, Final Destination 3 as well as Deck the Halls. He also made guest appearances in television series like Supernatural, Smallville, Flash Gordon, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. In 2005, he made an appearance in the Killer Bash about a tormented geek’s soul, which was taking revenge on the murderers of his children by taking over the body of the twin girl. In addition, he shot the film Brothers and Sisters with Milligan Dustin that premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2011 (Daily Mail Reporter, 2013). In 2009, he was cast in the Glee series on Fox. In the film, he portrayed Hudson Finn, who was a star in the quarterback of his football team in high school and risks hostility from his friends since he had joined the school’s glee club. .

Background: Within Australia there are presently some 40,000 cafes and restaurants and about 250,000 workers. More than two thirds of employees are un-skilled or semi-skilled, and comprise the bulk of the wage cost. IR challenges which concern this group have the potential for significant impact on restaurant earnings and operations.
The restaurant industry has been chosen because it is representative of many of the challenges facing small business. The challenges are significant especially when it is considered that the restaurant industry consists of many small operators, sometimes at the mum and dad level, and there are a few resources to tackle the rising IR complexity, especially in rural areas. Restaurant businesses lack human resource management skills and resources and in turn employees lack union representation
Industrial relations issue
A penalty rate is an issue in the industrial relations facing by the restaurant industry (taken to also include café operators and catering providers, but excluding large franchise operators). Penalty rates in particular have apparently caused restaurant owners cost difficulties. The employer pays the penalty for requiring workers to work at unsociable times such as late at night, weekends and public holidays. In the restaurant industry Saturday penalty rates are 1.25 times ordinary earnings, on Sundays the rate is 1.5 times, and on public holidays the rate is 2.5 times. Overtime, that is work beyond ordinary hours, also attracts penalty rates. The union view is that staff should not have to work at minimum wages during unsociable hours. The essential point of conflict for the restaurant industry is the need for some protection of the unskilled and vulnerable workforce contrasted with the need for restaurant owners to achieve an adequate level of business profit and return on equity in a very competitive and low margin business. This type of IR framework increases staff hiring pressure, because owners and managers face increased employment risks. The above trends indicate that penalty rates are likely to increase the risk of a restaurants failure. Small restaurant operators are very likely to use family members or ‘safe’ employees extensively to avoid industrial risks.
Theory to address the issue
The pluralist approach assumes that any employment relationship automatically has the potential for conflict and this is why effective conflict management so important, and this is the aim of Fair Work Australia. The role of the state is to protect the weak and to try and reconcile conflicting opinions and to keep conflict within acceptable bounds. At the present time the restaurant industry operates under the pluralist approach whereby industrial peace needs to be achieved through some type of adaptation to the different stakeholder perspectives. Restaurant employers, if it were possible, want to rewrite the entire industrial award. This type of IR framework increases staff hiring pressure, because owners and managers face increased employment risks. The above trends indicate that penalty rates are likely to increase the risk of a restaurants failure. Small restaurant operators are very likely to use family members or ‘safe’ employees extensively to avoid industrial risks. Employer opposition against penalty rates places it in direct confrontation with the union and the government. These last two parties are unlikely to agree to any changes until unemployment in the industry increases. The employees, and the union, want penalty rates to remain. The government has continued on its task of promoting industrial stability and protecting the workers in the restaurant industry
Recommendation
Ideally, restaurant employers and trade unions and the government should be able to come to an agreement. Each side has something that they want (employers want to reduce staff hiring pressure while trade unions want above minimum wage for any overtime worked), so they should compromise and come to an agreement as soon as possible. It is in the best interest of both parties to come to an agreement because restaurant employers do not want to have a failing business while employees want higher wages. More so than employers and trade unions, it is also in the interest of the government to do something about the situation so that stability returns to the industry and workers’ rights are also protected.
If collective bargaining agreements cannot be reached between employers and trade unions and the government, then labour laws should dictate the number of hours that employees can work each week. In addition to regular working hours, there should be a provision that employees can work overtime but not more than three hours per week. The penalty rate for this overtime can be a standard 1.75 across all weekends and public holidays. If an employee has already worked three hours overtime in a week and is needed to work more, then the penalty rate can increase to 3. Because this will likely be not attractive to employers because of the extra cost involved, the employers can find someone else to fill in with the overtime. If there is no one else available to work overtime, then employers should consider hiring more staff because the amount of work that they have requires it.

Background: Within Australia there are presently some 40,000 cafes and restaurants and about 250,000 workers.
The study was carried with five qualitative reach approaches evaluating the effects of instructional enhancements on the learning outcomes of students (Ann et al., 2011). It also seeks to investigate the effect of instructional enhancement for teachers on the learning outcomes for students. A multi -level investigation was carried on the data which enabled the researcher to work with the non-aggregated figures, and to give explanation of personal differences between students.
The finding main established passive outcomes on effect of instructional improvement on the learning outcome soft students. It was also revealed that the learning environments in institutions of higher learning established on the student centered teaching approach have the prospective to improve and enhance the learning outcomes of students.
This study would benefit both the teachers and the students (Ann et al., 2011). Teachers would be equipped with necessary slicks and instructional knowledge that they would in turn use to train the students.
The sample size is too big though participants are given the opportunity to practice competence-based and student-centered training (Ann et al., 2011). The participants were also encouraged to use their knowledge and skills in every module through the use of motivating teaching modes during contact periods, together with group, and individual assignments complemented by peer, and tutor feedback.
At the opening of the platform the novice teachers were requested to choose a single course out of the possible different courses they train students on to which entire assignments was then related. Attending the contact periods and doing the assignments took 140 hours of the study which was spread over within a period of one full academic year (Ann et al., 2011). There were two groups in this study including the control and experimental groups.

Discussion Module 1 -The Role of Program Evaluation in Your Professional Aspirations
You now have a year of generalist social work courses and a generalist field practicum under your belt. In your OMSW 507 or BSW policy class, you learned about social problems that disproportionately affect urban African Americans and other marginalized groups, as well as social welfare policies and programs that have attempted to address them.
In your view, what are some of the most pressing social problems affecting urban African Americans?
What outcome(s) related to these problems are you planning to address as a professional MSW level social worker?
At what level(s) of practice do you envision focusing your professional practice (e.g., micro, mezzo, macro) and what role can program evaluation play in achieving the outcomes you identified given your intended level of practice? I plan to focus on the micro level of practice.
Please make sure you properly reference and cite adhering to APA standards as you support your stance by utilizing the ppt., text, outside resources, etc.
Module 3 Discussion
Suppose you were doing a needs assessment for a program in your field practicum or the social service agency in which you work. You have some data on the social problem that the program is designed to address, but you are unable to find data on the specific community that your program serves. Therefore, you have decided that you will obtain information about the characteristics of the target population for the program using key informants.
Briefly describe the agency and the program you are using for this example (e.g. state mission and purpose of the agency, a brief description of the target population for the program, and the goals/desired outcome of the program identified for the example.) agency: Maryland Department of Human Services; Mission: The mission of the Maryland Department of Human Services is to work on opportunities with the aim to improve people’s economy, provide mitigation strategies, and safeguard exposed people. The mission works with principles that help the department in achieving its goals. These include; achieving self-determination needs a person to work hard, working together between businesses and the community is important increasing customer ability to be autonomous, Assistance is given to citizens by acknowledging differences between individuals and groups, Enablement is essential for human services to be provided, Families should be the top resource for their children and other family members to provide emotional and financial support.; Vision: We imagine a Maryland in which persons support themselves and their families exclusively and where people are protected from violence and negligence. The Maryland department vision encourages individuals to put more effort into activities that bring in income and support for their families.; Goals: Maryland Department of Human Services (DHS) provides services to neglected and abused children. The services provided protect children and their families from continued exposure to harm and mistreatment. The goals of the department are;
1. Protecting children and supporting parents or caregivers to provide children with proper care and attention
2. Remedy and reduce the risk of chronic violence and neglect
3. Provide children with an alternative treatment plan when parents or guardians are unable to show adequate and health care for them
Objectives: the department aim in providing services that help families to be financially independent. The main objective is protecting children from violence and neglect and supporting families in the process of helping to provide their children with healthy parents. Child safety is a collective duty, and at the first indication of a concern, communities must strategically respond to children that are at risk of violence or neglect and collaborate with families, and resources can be mobilized through combined efforts. The community has a responsibility to ensure that prevention, action, and the appropriate resources are available.
Describe specific ways you could identify and engage key informants to provide the information you seek regarding your agency’s program. Provide a rationale for this approach.
List specific questions you would ask of the informants to obtain the desired information.
Course Reflection Discussion
In the first module, you discussed how you envisioned that program evaluation might play a role in your professional practice. Now that you have presumably gained a deeper understanding of the functions of program evaluation and specific purposes it can serve, respond to the following questions. This is your opportunity to reflect on the knowledge, values, and skills you can take from this course.
How has your view of the relevance or usefulness of evaluation for your future social work practice evolved since your response to Discussion 1? (5 points)
Which of the common purposes of evaluations (i.e., Program Improvement, Accountability, Knowledge Generation– from Module 2 “tailoring evaluations”) would be useful in your current or future practice setting? Give 2 specific examples to illustrate. (10 points)
Do you feel that you personally could implement any of the program evaluation strategies you learned about in any meaningful way in your practice setting? If not, what additional knowledge or skills would you need to refine or develop? (5 points)
What connections can you draw between this course and other courses you have taken in the MSW Program? Explain the interconnection(s). (5 points)

What outcome(s) related to these problems are you planning to address as a professional MSW level social worker?
The assignment must be in paragraph form using complete sentences and avoiding bullet points and numbered list.
Use a Level 1 heading to separate your sections (Page 47 of the APA Publication Manual).
Title and reference pages do not count toward the total word or page count.
At least two outside sources must be referenced and cited in the paper.
