It’s an assignment I had done however it didn’t receive a passing grade. The piece has to be redone based on lecturers feedback and the attached document. Pass mark is 50% and I received 31%. 

I need help with revising my resume and make it sound more professional. Also, a better  layout. I am trying to get a leadership position in logistics for a beverage manufacturing company that I currently work for.

REGINA – Saskatchewan teachers say they will be withdrawing volunteer services indefinitely after getting nowhere with
the province on a draft memorandum of understanding in their ongoing labour dispute.
Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation president Samantha Becotte told reporters Friday that teachers won’t be available
for students outside regular school hours and won’t volunteer for lunchtime supervision.
They will also stop volunteering for all extracurricular activities and graduation planning.
The job action is set to start Monday.
Becotte said the union asked for an amendment in the collective agreement stating the government would honour its
commitments outlined in the draft memorandum, and the province refused.
“Sounds pretty simple, that was it. Just do what you say you’re committing to do,” Becotte said.
The memorandum promises teachers a voice in how school divisions allocate funding. It includes a reporting mechanism
to track how dollars are being spent.
The union’s amendment also asks the government to follow through with commitments it made in a funding agreement
with school boards. In that agreement, the province promised millions of dollars more for classroom supports.
The government and teachers have been at an impasse for months over a new contract.
The teachers want classroom sizes and other supports in the collective agreement, but the province says those items
can be addressed outside the contract.
Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill said in a statement Friday he’s disappointed in the latest job action.
“Government and school divisions have found solutions to assure increased investment into classrooms, multi-year
predictability for those investments, as well as a framework that would allow teachers to provide feedback on how those
dollars are spent in their local school division,” Cockrill said.
“The teachers’ union leadership’s move to block the opportunity for their own members to have a voice is another
example of how this round of bargaining has been more about union control than actual solutions for classrooms.”
Becotte said teachers need a real solution to deal with their need for additional supports in the classroom.
“We’re not looking for some magic fix, and we need real commitments that just aren’t election-year promises,” she said.
“We need to know, year after year, that experiences in our classrooms are going to improve.”

Hello Professor and Classmates,
Over the past 10 weeks, this course has greatly improved the “Business of Me” by teaching effective business practices and ethical decision-making. Professionally, I will use these insights to enhance my strategic thinking and leadership skills. Personally, the course emphasized the importance of integrity and transparency. I struggled with understanding complex ethical theories, but I became better at analyzing and applying them through study and discussions. Ethical decision-making is essential for personal and professional growth.

Respond to classmate Twila
Good morning, everyone,
The aspect of this course that was challenging for me was the terminology. I had to reread the definitions multiple times as I applied their meanings to the context of the sentence they were in. I learned that with perseverance you can accomplish the necessary even while feeling discouraged. Other challenges were on a personal level. This semester, I was losing focus but all in all, I made it through. My determination to complete what I started was my motivation. I am completely shocked with the grades I received due to my personal issues this semester. Even though I am averaging an A right now, it will drop because I may not get the last assignment done but regardless, I made it through.
I am excited to use the knowledge gained from this course in the workplace in a Human Resource position. I want to add to the efficiency of a multi-cultured workplace. I actually enjoyed the knowledge gained. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you already know you just were not put into a space to think it out for full understanding.

Read Nelsen, B. J., & Valadez, M. S. (2012). Resistance to technological change: The case of the unused calculators. Journal of Case Studies, 30(2), 14-20. Available in the Trident Online Library. Its attached
Then, in a well-written 5- to 6-page paper, to include 3 scholarly sources from the required and optional readings list, please respond to the following:
Part One:
Briefly summarize the circumstances confronting Ms. Figueroa in her quest to have the calculators widely used at the American School for the Deaf (ASD).
Part Two:
Identify the key individuals (stakeholder groups) in the unused calculator case, and discuss the extent to which each stakeholder is resistant to change (i.e., is amenable to use of the technology).
How might the different perspectives of each of the major stakeholders, in this case, come together to further increase the overall resistance to change at the ASD?
Part Three: Using the background readings:
What factors—other than the technology itself—do you believe contributed to the resistance to change on the part of each of the major stakeholders you have identified in Item #2 above (mistrust, fear, loss of job security)?
Part Four: Conclude your paper by commenting on the following:
Is it possible that Ms. Figueroa can resolve this situation such that the calculators can be used at the ASD?
Or, is the resistance to change at the ASD now impossible to overcome? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
