When you turn in any papers, you will always want to ensure you are pulling research from the Northouse text and citing in with your papers.  You can do this in a mixture of ways, but both ways should be happening.  Those two ways are through direct quotes from Northouse and through indirect (paraphrased) quotes.  This helps you get in the practice of writing for your dissertation.  I have put some examples below, as I will be looking for the correct usage and that will be a part of your points moving forward.  Please do reach out if you have any
questions.
Here are key points for using direct quotes for APA style for short quotes (less than 40 words):
Enclose the quote in double quotation marks.
Include the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number
in parentheses after the quote. Use “p.” for a single page and “pp.” for a range of pages.
Example: “Familiarity with nonnative speech in general, although it is clearly not as important a variable as topic familiarity, may indeed have some effect” (Gass & Varonis, 1984, p. 77).
Here are the key points for using indirect quotes in APA style:
An indirect quote is a paraphrase of someone else’s words, where you restate the idea in your own words
When using an indirect quote, do not place the paraphrased text in quotation marks
You must still cite the original source by including the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number (if available) in parentheses at the end of the paraphrased text
For example: According to Smith (2019), the literature on this topic shows no clear consensus (p. 4)
The most important things to remember are to cite the original source and to paraphrase the idea in your own words rather than quoting directly. This demonstrates your understanding of the material.

This assignment is the completion of an expanded Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report based on the Caroline Case Study issued by the instructor. 
This analysis of an assessment oriented case study requires submission of a detailed report providing in-depth insight into the case’s documented status, the noted assessment results as well as the identification of appropriate individualized interventions, goals and objectives.
As per the New York State Education Department, a Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report is required when a child, age 3-5, has undergone an evaluation to determine whether they are in need of preschool special education services. As its name implies, it is a summary of a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation involving psychologists, special educators and related service providers using multiple evaluation procedures and tools.
For this assignment, students are to read the case study and answer the seven questions noted below as well as all sections of the Preschool Student Evaluation Summary Report including Section 7, “Recommendations”.  Section 7 is to be completed with the exception of the Assistive Technology and Transportation recommendation areas.
The summary report is to be written in a concise manner using “parent-friendly” language.
