I am a speaker for a graduation and have to give a great speech. The goal is for the speech to be relatable, include some funny moments, but also be inspirational
For context i am only 4 years older than these graduating high school seniors so not much older.
Here’s some things I wanted to include besides what I did already we share an experince of both experiencing the harshness of covid during major milestones in our lives they started high school and k started college so creating a connection like that would be really nice.
In editing and adding to this I want the beginning to be a proper fun introduction something to grab the audience
But i want the audience to feel connected inspired and just that the speech was amazing overall. Be sure to add connections of covid
Looking for a person who is from nyc / a pic prefab Lu to edit this

Plan for a diverse population. Define what activities are excellent for these diverse areas.
Evaluate how competencies of early childhood professionals influence the curriculum quality.
Discuss how the curriculum meets your state’s guidelines and regulations as they relate to early childhood education programs.
Length: 10-12 pages, excluding images and the title and reference pages. .
References: Include a minimum of seven (7) scholarly references that are seminal references or published within the last five (5) years.

Collaborating with Paraeducators: Strategies for Effective Teamwork and Conflict Resolution
Ch 10
44 unread replies.44 replies.
After reading Chapter 10 in Knackendoffel, Dettmer, and Thurston (2017), as well as the two chapters on Paraeducators (Causton & Kluth, 2016), respond to the following prompts:
Read Activity 10.1 (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, & Thurston, 2017, p.366). Put yourself in Jackie’s shoes. How might Jackie have approached this situation with her paras that would lead to a better outcome?
Read Activity 10.2 (Knackendoffel, Dettmer, & Thurston, 2017, p.378). Is it appropriate for Martin to have these somewhat limited expectations for Jane even when she isn’t pleased about it? Does the classroom teacher have a voice in this? How could this conflict be addressed?
Reflect on collaboration with paraeducators in your placement/job. Explain strategies you have seen work well for teaming, determining responsibilities, communicating, and supervising with paraeducators. Are there any strategies that did not work well? Explain. -
