Identify and describe at least two resources that teachers can utilize in their planning and implementation. These can be text or web-based resources.

When one or more persons contract with a woman to gestate a child than relinquish that child after birth to the person or couple is known as surrogacy. It is a course of action that goes outside of natural reproduction. For some, it is the only method of having children, extending family. Surrogacy has been stirring up many controversies over the years. Ethics, morals, laws, religious views, etc. have played a major role in the issues that follow the topic of surrogacy. Laws and regulations pertaining to surrogacy vary from state to state. Some states have no enforceable laws

In my current position, as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I work for a large pulmonary office where my main focus is to take care of patient’s needs by teaching them about their pulmonary disease and helping them improve their breathing. One way that we achieve this goal is by enrolling them in Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Our hypothesis is that through education and exercise; patients improve daily routines, feel better about themselves and function more independently. The null hypothesis would be that Pulmonary Rehabilitation does not help patients improve daily routines, feel better or function more independently. The alternative hypothesis is that Pulmonary Rehabilitation will improve daily routines, help the patients to feel better, and function more independently.

For many care recipients the gender of the care workers is important, particularly for sensitive situations. Determine and document if the care recipient has any preferences, concerns or expectations regarding care provided by someone of a different gender.

Before diving directly into the article from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) titled Governments to Report Liabilities Connected with Their Obligations to Clean Up Pollution (2006), one must first take a step back and take time to read, comprehend, and take to heart exactly what this organization stands for. Taken directly from their main web page under the tab labeled Education, the first thing seen in big, bold, blue letters is, “Due Process: The GASB Is Listening” followed by a definition of what listening means, “to hear with thoughtful attention”. When researching a little more into the GASB, it is easy to see how crucial listening truly is for them in order to fully accomplish their

One easy way to provide feedback and information to parents is to make an online newsletter. My teacher updates her newsletter about once every two weeks and then sends an email to the parents to let them know. The newsletter is on the schools main page, but the bi-weekly reminder is how she communicates the information with parents. In my teachers newsletter she includes a calendar for the month, important school events, like the Thanksgiving Feast. My teacher also includes what the students are learning in class and ways that the parents could help them at home, such as read aloud time, and finding vocabulary words together. The newsletter also has information

Generally, workers’ compensation cases for medical providers settle around 50-70% of the billed amount. This obviously depends on the items billed, modifiers used, and other specifics in the case.

PowerPoint, posters, and other methods can help create a positive buzz throughout the work place. Even PTA meetings can also be effective if you are prepared to discuss the effect this change might have on all the stakeholders. There should be a major focus on Training. The selection of key peer leaders for early training is important, so they can help sell the new technology internally. Unsuccessful implementations commonly happen when adequate training is not done. It is also important to be aware of all those who were left behind so they can be brought on stream.

The reason we want to capitalise the lease commitments is that reporting under operating assets leads to substantial amounts of off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities. Hence, it is difficult to compare financial statements between two similar companies but use different accounting methods for essentially the same transaction.

As my transcripts reveal, I have taken substantial courses in both statistics and mathematics. Three years' painstaking study equipped me with a solid mathematical foundation and a deeper understanding of Statistics. I vividly recall the excitement of exchanging ideas with my peers and the achievement of solving questions independently. Moreover, sharing my passion, I helped some of my classmates for the preparation of final exams. I taught them the methods of regression analysis, the connection between stochastic processes and time series, and wide application of mathematical statistics, etc. Through teaching them, my devotion to Statistics became even deeper. In the final evaluation, I received scores above 90 in those statistical lessons. More importantly, my understanding was largely consolidated and

if (x > 1) AND (cSpinValue <> 0) AND (cSpinValue MOD 2 = 0) AND (previousSpinValue MOD 2 = 0) then

In previous research, a substantial emphasis has been placed on the necessity of statistical understanding in today’s intellectual, as well as common community (Wallman, 1993). Due to this, there has been a recent increase in the number of statistics courses, made mandatory at a university level (Gould, 2010). Unfortunately, as Statistics is often received badly, an extensive collection of research has been created on statistical anxiety/attitude (Cruise, Cash & Bolton, 1985). With the goal of building on this knowledge, the aim of this study is to determine if gender plays a role on Statistics anxiety and/or attitude towards statistics.

When a business use statistics it allows them to make decisions based on the data that is collected whether it is good or bad for the company. Statistics is basely the numerical description of a sample population. We use statistics is part of our everyday lives especially in the work setting. For example, a survey was taken on my job, the findings were 90% of the employees have master’s degrees. But looking at the parameter it focused on the entire population. In order to work at Shelby County, every employee is required to hold a Bachelor’s degree. A researcher can use statistics with quantitative analysis by describing, summarizing and comparing the data. For example, a home health agency uses data for their program and policy and procedures. By grouping their clients by their age, demographics, and their race; each one can be formatted in separate columns, a defined variable. The data will be able to show the output (tables, graphs, and statistics) can be shown in a separate window. Statistics can be categorized as descriptive and inferential statistics.

There are many factors that contribute to students’ academic success, such as low levels of procrastination, a high level of work drive, being emotionally stable, and a low level of negative life stress. However, scholars have pointed out that many statistics instructors are concerned about the anxiety associated with taking a course in the subject (Bui & Alfaro, 2011). The results from studies investigating anxiety about statistics have shown that student attitudes to statistics courses have an impact on their success and competence (Bui & Alfaro, 2011). In deed most of undergraduate student tend to have negative attitude toward research method course. Therefore, it is an important to understand students attitude and helps

In this section, we discuss the current literature available pertaining to attitudes towards statistics along with the theoretical perspective on certain aspects of attitudes, statistical reasoning, and the statistics education reform movement in order to determine what role attitudes toward statistics may have on secondary level mathematics teachers who teach statistics. Firstly, we provide a literature review on teacher’s attitudes toward statistics followed by a discussion on the two aspects of attitudes towards statistics. Afterward, the reform movement in statistics education is discussed alongside with the recommendations given by GAISE for the reform movement. With developing statistical reasoning being a major goal of statistics learning we discuss it before we finally discuss the construction of the framework of attitude for our instrument.
