Title: Navigating Social Media: Promoting Professional Dispositions and Christian Virtues in the Classroom
Due to frequent usage of social media, many students are exposed to an abundance of information. Occasionally, social media has the potential to cause harm to students due to unwanted or unwarranted exchanges of information or images.
Imagine you are beginning your class, and you hear students having side conversations about a student on campus and something that has been shared on social media regarding this student. You can sense the conversation is not appropriate, and you do not want your students to be engaged in or sharing information about another student that could potentially cause harm.
Using the College of Education’s Professional Dispositions, select two Professional Dispositions you would use to mitigate the conversation and to also re-focus students on their learning. To support your answer, consider identifying one or two specific virtues or scriptures within the Christian Worldview that could also help guide you through your response. -
Executive Summary for Health Care Information Review Overview: The proposed health care information review aims to assess the quality of care given to a specific population within our physician group. Through this review, we plan to collect data on various aspects of patient care and “Summary Report – Implementing a Health Care Information Review: Improving Quality of Care and Data Security” Executive Summary: This summary report outlines the plan for implementing a health care information review study within a physician group. The purpose of this study is to
Write an executive summary (1–2 pages) for senior leaders that
highlights key information about the proposed health care information
review of the quality of care given to a specific population. Detail the
proposed implementation steps and associated time frames in a Gantt
chart (one-page chart).
Introduction:
Write
an executive summary (1–2 pages) for senior leaders that highlights key
information about the proposed health care information review of the
quality of care given to a specific population. Detail the proposed
implementation steps and associated time frames in a Gantt chart
(one-page chart).
As the office manager of your physician group, you realize
that obtaining funding for your proposal will require the approval of
the physician group’s senior leaders. You and the others helping you
implement the proposal will need the details your proposal contains.
From experience, however, you have learned the senior leaders will not
take the time to review all the details. For them to approve your
proposal, they simply want the highlights of what you plan to do, a
brief explanation of how it will identify the quality of patient care,
and the amount of time it will take to complete the study. In this final
assessment, you will prepare a summary report for the senior leaders of
your physician group. Your summary report is an abbreviated version of
your proposal.
Please carefully review this assessment’s scoring guide to
better understand the performance levels relating to each criterion on
which you will be evaluated.
