There are times when a teacher uses instructions that are scripted and rigorously developed and times when instruction needs to be more open-ended and moderately defined. Quality teaching utilizes both the behavioral and the cognitive paradigms. Knowing when and where to use each is part of the art of teaching. Complete the following:

• Select a classroom, subject, and a population of students. Choose a subject’s subtopic for this unit (but not the same subtopic you used in previous units).
• Design a unit plan. Include descriptions of instructional strategies and how these strategies will help adapt instruction to individual learners.
• Describe how you would use more structured activities, including direct instruction, task analysis, and examination of prerequisite abilities.
• Describe how you would use more open-ended techniques such as brainstorming and exploratory activities.
• Remember to fully describe how each strategy helps customize individual learning and meet the needs of all students. In addition, describe how each strategy might reinforce or complement other strategies.
• Discuss the role of a caring and professional leadership approach to the implementation of the selected instructional strategies.

Include the following components in your APA paper:

• An introductory paragraph that describes the class and its setting
• Overall goals
• Curriculum objectives that use the audience, behavior, condition, and degree (ABCD) format and measurable Bloom’s Taxonomy verbs that align with Bloom’s Taxonomy
• A narrative on each strategy
• A detailed and formatted unit lesson plan
• An ongoing summative assessment and evaluation of student progress and student understanding

Unit I Assignment
HR Mission Statement
By now, from your textbook readings and lesson, you should have a firm grasp on the different types of human resource
values and strategies that are commonplace in the workforce. From this information, complete the following assignment
(this is a two-part assignment):
Compare and contrast the three Sample Mission Statements below. Evaluate them for overall effectiveness addressing
what is strong, weak, effective, or ineffective and state your reasons.

Sample 1: Human Resources Mission Statement
Our mission is to treat each person as a valued customer while contributing positively to the bottom line of [Company
Name] through comprehensive programming that displays a thorough understanding of all aspects of the human
resources profession, including proactive involvement in areas of legal compliance and service that displays an
enthusiastic interest in the lives of others. We will continually develop our own repertoire of skills and maintain a balance
between our personal and professional lives.

Sample 2: Human Resources Mission Statement
The mission of [Company Name] is dedication to the highest quality of customer service delivered with a sense of warmth,
friendliness, individual pride, and company spirit. To our employees: We are committed to provide our employees a stable
work environment with equal opportunity for learning and personal growth. Creativity and innovation are encouraged for
BHR 3352, Human Resource Management 3
improving the effectiveness of [the company]. Above all, employees will be provided the same concern, respect, and
caring attitude within the organization that they are expected to share externally with every [company] customer.

Sample 3: Human Resources Mission Statement
It is the mission of the human resources department to provide the following quality services to the employees of
[Company Name]:
 recruitment of qualified individuals;
 retention of valuable employees;
 training, development, and education to promote individual success and increase overall value to the
organization;
 a safe and healthful working environment;
 inspiration and encouragement for a high level of employee morale through recognition, effective communication,
and constant feedback; and
 resources for administering benefits, policies, and procedures.
These services are achieved through a teamwork philosophy that is inspired through effective organizational skills,
proactive efforts, and maintenance of a balance between professionalism and the ability to have fun!

Part Two:
Create and briefly describe a fictional large company of your choice. This is your company and it should preferably be in
your current or desired future industry. This company and the HR mission statement you create will be used as a
foundation for future assignments in this course.
Use your analysis to write your own HR mission statement for your fictional company. Consider the following questions
when evaluating and formulating your mission statement. Keep in mind that good mission statements are short, clear,
concise, & brief hard-hitting comments on your mission.
 Why does your HR function exist? What do you want for your customers and how can HR provide that?
 Who are your customers and what can you do for them that will enrich their lives and contribute to their success,
both present and future?
 What image of your function do you want to convey internally and externally? Customers, employees and the
public will all have perceptions of your company. How will HR help create the desired picture?
 What level of service do you provide to employees and the company? Don’t be vague; define what will make your
service extraordinary.
 What kind of relationships will your HR function maintain with customers? Every company function is in
partnership with its customers. When you succeed, so do they.
 What underlying philosophies or values guided your responses to the previous questions? Some mission
statements choose to list these separately (as core values or vision). Writing them down clarifies the “why” behind
your mission.
 Does your HR function’s mission statement describe and support what your company will do and why it will do it
(the company’s core values)?
There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for this assignment. The paper must be in APA format (See pages 13 – 15
in the CSU Citation Guide). Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted
material must have accompanying citations in APA format

RE: Week 2 Discussion

Life as we know it will change for the next generation, and those changes must be accounted for in child development. Today, television and media, the changing nuclear family, and new parenting styles play a large part in the life of a child. Research tells us that viewing violent television programs or playing violence-themed games contributes to increased aggressiveness in children. We also know that the break-up of the nuclear family and “super-parenting” can have detrimental effects on a child’s emotional and social development. It may sound difficult, but as a caregiver, you will need to find the positive influences that can enhance development and learning in all situations. Explain what you can do to help prevent the negative influences of media, parenting, and the nuclear family, and ensure their positive influence on child growth and development. Share your own beliefs about these three areas, and how you will avoid any personal bias in your approach.

Select a country from secondary sources found on the Internet; compile the following information for at least a five-year period prior to the present on the country you selected. If you cannot find 5-year information, 3-4 years would do.

Take a VIRTUAL TOUR of a city of your choice (include the video of the city if you can) in the country you selected and provide the reasons why you’ll want to do business in the city and the country or why you want tourists to visit the city you selected.

Here is a website that may be very valuable to you as you conduct this research…Observatory Economic Complexity (OEC) http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
