Teacher-Designed Assessment

Along with using checklists, rating scales, and rubrics as informal assessment tools, teacher-designed assessments are a common choice for many early childhood educators. “Teacher-designed assessments support other evaluation measures, enabling the teacher to make more accurate decisions for the instruction of individual students” (Wortham & Hardin, 2015, p. 188). As a leader, you will likely be involved in helping your colleagues develop teacher-designed assessments that will provide them with the information they need to make informed decisions about how to meet the needs of the children they work with.

For your assignment this week, imagine that you have asked each member of your staff to develop a teacher-designed assessment to use with students. Before each member can use it, she needs to submit it to you so that you can ensure it meets the requirements of a quality teacher-designed assessment. After reviewing the assessment, you will provide each member with feedback about the assessment and how she can use it to inform her instruction.

Follow the steps below to complete your assignment:

Step 1: Choose a Teacher-Designed Assessment to Evaluate: Choose one assessment from the list below to evaluate for this assignment. You are encouraged to choose an assessment that is aligned with the age (infants/toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged) of children you are currently working with or plan on working with.

Step 2: Evaluate the Teacher-Designed Assessment: Evaluate the teacher-designed assessment you chose in Step 1 by using either the Teacher-Made Assessment Checklist (Links to an external site.) or the Teacher-Designed Assessment Rubric.

Step 3: Provide Feedback: After evaluating your chosen teacher-designed assessment in Step 3, provide written feedback for the teacher that includes the following:

  • State the objective of the assessment. Use the guidelines on pages 196-201 of your course text, Assessment in Early Childhood Education, as a guide.
  • Explain how the teacher-designed assessment does or does not meet the characteristics of a quality teacher-designed assessment. Make sure to include specific evidence from either the Teacher-Designed Assessment Checklist or the Teacher-Designed Assessment Rubric to support your decision. In addition, support your explanation with at least one scholarly or credible source.
  • Describe how the assessment is appropriate for the intended age group
  • Analyze how the assessment does or does not align with the purposes of teacher-designed assessments.
  • Explain at least two ways the assessment could be used to inform instruction

When submitting your assignment, make sure to include either the completed Teacher-Designed Assessment Checklist or the completed Teacher-Designed Assessment Rubric you used in Step 2 with your written feedback as one document.

Research and Resource Expectations:

  • Source Requirement:
    • At least two scholarly peer-reviewed or credible sources

Writing and Formatting Expectations:

  • Title Page: Must include the following:
    • Title
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted

  • Purpose and Organization: Demonstrates logical progression of ideas.
  • Syntax and Mechanics: Writing displays meticulous comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  • APA Formatting: Papers are formatted properly and all sources are cited and referenced in APA style as outlined

ATTACHED IS RESOURCE TO ASSIST WITH ASSIGNMENT

Address two of the three scenarios (your choice) listed below. (Clearly use headings in your post to designate which options you are addressing.)

Option A: A recent psychology graduate named Kaylynn is currently seeking a career position with the local community college as a marketing director.

  • How can her understanding of learning psychology support this position?
  • How can she express these acquired skills most clearly in her interview?
  • If you were Kaylynn, what knowledge or skills would you be sure to include? Please provide a rationalization.

Option B: The retail department store that Nikky, a psychology graduate, works for, is changing how they address customer service, and over the next several weeks the store will be requiring all sales personnel to attend training sessions. As a sales manager, Nikky has heard her employees make comments reflecting their frustration with this requirement; they believe they do an adequate job, so why change what they are currently doing?

  • How can Nikky, based on what she knows about the psychology of learning, encourage the employees to be more open to learning the new procedures?
  • What rationales does learning psychology offer us to explain why we may believe we do not need to learn new things?
  • Again, based on this area of psychology, how might the attitude of the employees affect their ability to effectively learn, even if they were to attend?

Biometrics and privacy | Information Systems homework help

/in /by

1)  

Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals, if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not?

2) 

Some common biometric techniques include:

  1. Fingerprint recognition
  2. Signature dynamics
  3. Iris scanning
  4. Retina scanning
  5. Voice prints
  6. Face recognition

Select one of these biometric techniques and explain the benefits and the  vulnerabilities associated with that method in 3-4 paragraphs.

Conduct a research and provide a brief comments to this Wiki page. 

Topic:  Chapter 2 Deception

Wikis for Learning and Collaboration

A wiki is a collaborative web site that collects and organizes content, created and revised by its users. The most well-known example is Wikipedia. Wikis are a way to grow a knowledge base around a particular content area, be it best practices in a particular field or how to use a specific piece of hardware/software. A hallmark of Web 2.0 is that it improves as more people use it and this approach underlies wiki-based learning. It is based on the idea that within any enterprise, a great deal of knowledge exists among the members. Sharing this knowledge and information can raise the organization’s intelligence level, be it a university, an association, a corporation or club.

Move forward and contribute to this Wiki page.

(The tittle above Wiki Page  Chapter 2 Deception is hyperlink, please click it ).

Wiki Topic &  Detail Instructions Inside.

Each student will create a new wiki entry from a peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assigned reading, or provide a summary or substantive commentary on an existing wiki entry.

 Collapse Instructions Instructions

Our society, economy, and critical infrastructures have become largely dependent on computer networks and information technology solutions. Cyber attacks become more attractive and potentially more disastrous as our dependence on information technology increases. According to the Symantec cybercrime report published in April 2012, cyber attacks cost US$114 billion each year. If the time lost by companies trying to recover from cyber attacks is counted, the total cost of cyber attacks would reach staggering US $385 billion.

Why cyber attacks flourish? It is because cyber attacks are cheaper, convenientand less risky than physical attacks  Cyber criminals only require a few expenses beyond a computer and an Internet connection. They are unconstrained by geography and distance. They are difficult to identity and prosecute due to anonymous nature of the Internet. Given that attacks against information technology systems are very attractive, it is expected that the number and sophistication of cyber attacks will keep growing. Many cybersecurity experts believe that Deception is the key choice of weapon to carry out malicious intends to breach cybersecurity efforts in the cyberspace 

Assignment : 

Select and research one of the many types of Deceptions and briefly provide a description, deployment (methods) and countermeasures.

  • Denial-of-service attacks
  • Trojan horses
  • Phishing
  • Etc.

Conduct your own research and post a relevant “short” summary of your findings. ( Stick to current data, not older than five years ). Use not more than three (3) references.

Strategic it planning: your 3-step process

Strategic IT Planning: Your 3-Step Process

Introduction

What is a Strategic Plan?

It is a roadmap to achieving a goal. It may cover your entire department or responsibility or it may focus on a specific issue or element of your role. It can be long and involved or a simply one-page document that provides guidance and steps you need to implement to achieve a goal.

Making it Happen

There are a few things that are important to your success. While it may seem that developing the Strategic Plan is the hardest part, most plans fail because of the implementation. The key is to keep it small and be successful, then build on that success for the next initiative. Don’t bite off too much or try to be too ambitious.

• Take your time and keep it manageable

• Link your plan to your company’s strategy

• Justify your initiative and get buy-in and support

• Don’t re-invent, rebuild

• Go slow, manage change

• Set aside time from your operational responsibilities to make it happen

Without a Strategic Plan, you and your team won’t be effective and you won’t be able to get results, get attention and get ahead.

Why you need an IT Strategy:

Redirect from tasks to opportunities and result

• Switch from fighting fires to preventing fires

• Reduce risk with planning and a longer view

Most Strategic Plans never get written or they fail because they are too involved and complex. Keep them simple and use these three basic steps as your core approach. Ask yourself these questions:

1. Why do you need to do it? What is your goal?

2. What are the things you need to get done to achieve your goal?

3.  How can you make those things happen?

By following the 3 steps above and writing them down, you will have the outline of your Strategic IT Plan. Then, you establish the tactical things that will help you implement your plan.

Implementation Plan

Once you have established your strategic plan using the 3-step process, you need to develop your implementation plan. This includes getting approval and resources as well as the steps you need to take to achieve your strategic objective.

1. Set the objective for each step

2. Analyze internal/external factors

3. Develop solutions

4. Identify and eliminate barriers

5. Allocate resources (people, time, money)

6. Develop detailed tasks

7. Implement your plan!

Step Implementation

What Are The Roadblocks?

How Can You Overcome The Roadblocks?

What Resources Do You Need?

What Are The Timelines?

What Are The Main Steps To Implement Your Plan?
