Review of a Journal Article Livstrom, I. C., Szostkowski, A. H., & Roehrig, G. H. (2019). Integrated STEM in practice: Learning from Montessori philosophies and practices. School Science and Mathematics, 119(4), 190-202. In their 2019 article Integrated STEM in practice: Learning from Montessori philosophies and practices, Livstrom et al. sought to examine the theoretical and empirical characteristics of Montessori middle school science in the United States, and its alignment with the conceptual framework of integrated STEM. Firstly, this study explored the theoretical alignment between Montessori adolescent science curricula and pedagogy and the conceptual framework of integrated STEM and the conceptions of reform-based science (RBS). Then they conducted a national survey of 96 U.S. Montessori middle school science programs for adolescent to examine whether this theoretical connection exists in practice and the result revealed the current status of Montessori middle schools and found that integrated STEM happens organically in many Montessori middle schools through authentic and meaningful contexts and communities of practice, and suggest later scholars to consider alternative formal education settings outside traditional school spaces, such as Montessori classrooms.

Program Proposal and Evaluation Plan Program Goal and Program Objectives Overall Program Goal: Addressing the issue of self-harm and infliction among students in the society through the conduction of a thorough investigation on the mental health, substance abuse, educational, as well as occupational outcomes for the students that inflict harm upon themselves Outcome Objective 1: Reduction of psychosomatic pains, pushing the individuals to embrace, express, and alleviate psychosomatic distress, and redirection of the affected individuals’ focus away from negative stimulus and adverse environments. In doing so, the psychological functions implemented will help to reduce the rate of self-harm among the students by close to seventy percent since most of the self-injuries are attributed to mentally related problems and disorders. The changes are progressive and will be noted as the program goes on with significantly positive outcomes expected at the end of the whole program. Process Objective 1: For the group of individuals isolated to have symptoms that point out to psychological disorders, the manual-assisted cognitive therapy is applicable. It will be implemented for the students above the eighth grade. The…

Demand and Pricing Strategies:Ford and GM The demand for the goods of Ford in 2019 fell 1.6% for unpopular cars and increased for trucks, vans, and SUV’s. Lincoln, Ford’s premium brand, grew 11.2% in sales last year. All of Ford’s pickup trucks, vans, and SUV’s made up 83% of the company’s total vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2019. Ford truck sales rose 4%, SUV sales rose 3.5%, and Lincoln SUV’s rose 23.2% during the first quarter, as well. Based on this information, Ford’s demand is growing. The demand for services of Ford has introduced a reward program where you can earn points. They offer complimentary vehicle maintenance when members purchase or lease a new Ford vehicle. Customers can also earn points on service spending at Ford dealerships. I would consider this to be a luxury since Ford is only one of a few to roll out something like this. It does make the competition that much greater for other car makers, though. The demand for the goods of General Motors in 2019 fell 2.3% compared to 2018. Crossover…

Case Analysis Methodology – Ivey   Background Information or Synopsis Divide the case into logically sequenced sections using subtitles. List/highlight the factors, points, issues which appear to be most important to you.  Do not rewrite the case in essay format.  Select the facts from the case which you think are most relevant to the decision making process. Not all information in the case is relevant. Briefly summarize the case, identifying only those case factors which have a direct bearing on your analysis.   Definition of the Issue This should be a brief paragraph outlining what the root cause/basic underlying  issue(s) is/are in the case. Primary problems are root causes or the basic underlying issues; secondary problems are symptoms of the problems or immediate issues going on in the case. Secondary problems/immediate issues are generally the ones that you are specifically told about in the case. Thus, it’s helpful to start with identifying the secondary problems. What are you actually told about in the case? Primary problems require a deeper level of analysis. Keep asking WHY a certain problem is occurring…

Biomass and biofuel incentives  Global Biomass and Biofuels Incentives There had been several policy instruments, laws and regulations formed and implemented by the UK government and US Administration to promote the uptake of biomass and biofuels. As the world moves towards more stringent carbon reduction and global warming targets it is highly likely that biofuels and biomass will play a significant part in achieving these goals, but that within Europe national initiatives will be required to incentivise their uptake. The aim of this part of the assignment is to assess two existing national initiative models and: Demonstrate a depth of understanding of them; and Compare and contrast their pros and cons to develop a justifiable position regarding their effectiveness from the EU’s perspective for potential adoption. There are two specific initiatives in question: [unique_solution]In the UK – The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI); and In the US – The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Within this assignment, you will need to explain and discuss: The EU climate targets to be achieved under the Paris climate conference (COP21). Why an initiative such as…

Research paper on battle of shiloh  As a result of the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson, Confederate Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, the commander in the area, was forced to fall back, giving up Kentucky and much of West and Middle Tennessee. He chose Corinth, Mississippi, a major transportation center, as the staging area for an offensive against Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his Army of the Tennessee before the Army of the Ohio, under Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, could join it. The Confederate retrenchment was a surprise, although a pleasant one, to the Union forces, and it took Grant, with about 40,000 men, some time to mount a southern offensive, along the Tennessee River, toward Pittsburg Landing. Grant received orders to await Buell s Army of the Ohio at Pittsburg Landing. Grant did not choose to fortify his position; rather, he set about drilling his men, many of which were raw recruits. Johnston originally planned to attack Grant on April 4, but delays postponed it until the 6th. Attacking the Union troops on the morning of the…
