Benchmark- Case Study Background Becky, an adolescent aged 15, has been struggling with emotional distress following repeated rape incidents in the hands of his 20-year-old cousin. Becky’s parents sought professional assistance upon the realization of what transpired to their daughter. Prior to the report, Becky’s parents filed a legal report, and the investigations are underway to validate the claims of the abuse. Becky has, therefore, entered our care for psychological support in maintaining her social sobriety after the traumatizing sexual encounters. Social Network Becky hails from a socially supportive family, and her parents actively advocate for her recuperation as well as justice to the offender. Her younger sister is equally supportive and accepts to share the bed with her despite being oblivious of the reason for so doing. In the face of the harsh reality she has encountered, her family’s love remains her pillar and source of strength- a love which is particularly important for a teenage girl who is in the process of developing a new, trauma-free social system. Becky has maintained a strong circle of friends, although she…
language development in special education leaners Question 1 I believe that activities such as volunteering and engaging parents in decision making would increase family engagement and promote language development in special education leaners. When parents volunteer in school events, they are awarded points for their service. Such points act as a form of reward that motivates parents to get involved in matters of the school. Volunteering offers an opportunity for parents to connect with teachers and interact with other parents as well as other students in the school. As a result, the parents can inform the teacher on the child’s development history and other factors that may affect tier language development (Danisman, 2017). Involving parents in decision making promotes a clear understanding and communication that encourages parents to take active roles as members of the Individual Education Program (IEP). The IEP can evaluate the strengths and challenges for special needs children and use the findings to makes educational decisions to enhance language development in the children. Question 2 Offering opportunities to develop language, as well as language therapy, are the…
Philosophy of Teaching It is my deep conviction that learning is a process that is intended to transform people’s lives, way of thinking, and their experiences through the acquisition of knowledge skills and competencies. It is meant to affect the cognitive as well as the motor faculties of the learner to make him become a better person able to handle life challenges and solve the problems he is likely to encounter along the way. I believe learning is a continuous lifelong process that is not limited by age or locality. Different people learn at different rates depending on their mental abilities to grasp and process new sets of information and their experiences. It may be done through different ways and processes whose effectiveness again varies from one person to the other. The process is guided by different philosophies that can be applied together during a given teaching/learning process or differently for different outcomes. The classroom in which I teach is spacious enough with working surfaces at the sides that are ideal for carrying out some tasks. The spaces are ideal…
Systems Simulations Course Homework for CH-6 Design is mainly an innovative process. Lack of adequate user requirements is the primary reason for a project to fail. Insufficient knowledge of the envisioned operators and the background of use, together with undefined usability requirements, are some of the motives for unfortunate user necessities. Usability requirements are essential to the system requirements. Usability requirements can either be features designed into the invention and the degree to which the invention satisfies the desires of the user. Usability requirements can either be a product value feature mainly apprehensive of the ease of usage. They can be defined in terms of their understandability, learnability, operability, and attractiveness. Even though scheming to adapt to guidelines may mostly advance an interface, usability guidelines are not wholly exact to comprise the requirements that can be verified simply. Style guides are mostly detailed and are valued in realizing steadiness through screen designs shaped by dissimilar designers. A style guide designed to highlight requirements must be a part of the comprehensive usability needs (Fernández and Wagner, 2015). You et al., (2016),…
Article Review:Should Writers Use They Own English This analysis focuses on the article “Should Writers Use They Own English?” authored by Vershawn Young, which expresses his concerns on the role played by standardization of English in promoting racial and cultural equal opportunity in the twenty-first century. According to Young, scholars and native English speakers should consider Black English and other mother tongue languages used by communities in the United States as a valid form of communication without the implied flaws and distortions (111). The author draws evidence from other articles that show most people in the United States do not use Standard English, which makes it essential for the Native English speakers and scholars to support the use of diverse languages in learning. Young intends to communicate to non-English speakers and curriculum developers and sensitize them to accept other dialects as valid forms of communication, which may encourage learning of multiple languages (111). The most exciting concept is the extensive use of Black English in writing this scholarly article, which seems to support the author’s main argument on the validity…
The Effect a School Counselor can have on a Student’s Success is Immeasurable Today, school counselors offer academic assistance, as well as ensure emotional and mental wellbeing of their subjects. This role has evolved over time from concentrating on academic issues without paying attention to personal problems to guiding students in matters concerning their social and emotional wellbeing. In addition to emotional and social wellbeing, a counselor is tasked with guiding the students in career choices (“Guidance to School Counselor”, 2017). Counselors engage other stakeholders to facilitate interaction between the latter and students. Therefore, they focus on strengthening interpersonal relationships and shaping the school policy to deal with issues that affect learners (“School Counselors”, n.d.). However, each individual has varied experiences with the counselors, given their diverse approaches to address student’s issues, as well as personality attributes. While professional counselor in high school assisted me in realizing my strengths and choosing the right career, respondents, whom I interviewed, have mixed experiences concerning high school guidance. My experiences with counselors in high school are positive due to their impact on my…

Since men tend to have difficulty when it comes to admitting that they need help, the community health nurses could come up with gender programs appropriate for men. Provision of counseling to men dealing with special needs, disability, mental health issues, and how to handle chronic diseases. The program will focus on helping men deal with family, health, and frustrations in life, and the whole community will also benefit from these services. Senior health Older adults desire to function independently to their full life expectancy. The normal aging process comes with dramatic changes; some have a direct impact on the physical and mental health of older adults. Registered nurses should be conversant with these changes. I will champion illness prevention interventions to deal with psychological concerns among the elderly and provide end of life resource to assist the elderly. Family health Family is the core of society yet very diverse. Community nurses should be able to provide…
GENDER SEGREGATED EDUCATION IN UAE Introduction Education in the United Arab Emirates has come along way since its merge in 1972. IT has been an iteration of different education systems even before the unification of the UAE. The UAE education system is divided into public schools, private schools, and institutes of higher learning. Most of these systems follow the Arabic curriculum used in there. Still, others have adopted curricula from 15 different countries, including India, America, British, French, Germany, International Baccalaureate (IB), Pakistani, among others. These curricula account for 90% of the private schools in the UAE The Islamic culture, however, is a root factor that has anchored the education system of the Emiratis.

Despite this factor, gender segregation in education remains a significant issue in the education systems. Gender segregated education in the UAE.

Unit III Case Study on Facebook user data mining Unit III Cas Study Facebook is currently one of the largest social media platforms, with approximately 2.5 billion daily users worldwide. Due to this massive number of subscribers, Facebook has become the final destination for business entities seeking to promote their products and services (Devineni et al., 2017). Facebook has developed an algorithm that keeps tracks of content published by its users for marketing purposes. Mostly, the corporation users this algorithm to generate possible marketing insights on its subscribers based on their interests and location. After gathered is then sold to corporations. According to Devineni et al. (2017), since its incorporation in 2005, the company has been enjoying steady growth in both users and revenues. It is a bit ironic that despite the public having full knowledge of the company’s questionable ethical misconducts, the numbers of overall subscribers are still growing. This is a clear suggestion that either people no longer care about their online privacy, or they merely unaware of the pending ramifications of such acts. In early 2017, an…
