Introduction: This project has you prepare informed, open, unbiased questions as an interviewer.
Instructions: For your informative and persuasive speeches, your research must include an interview you conduct of a subject matter expert. You must ask 5 questions and include the interview in your list of References.
Find an interviewee who is an expert in the topic you have selected for your speech. The subject matter expert does not need to be world famous. It needs to be a person you can contact and who will agree to an interview with you. For example, if your speech topic is increased funding in education, you could interview a teacher. If your speech topic is homeschooling and you were homeschooled, you could interview your parent. If your speech topic is exercise, you could interview your coach or trainer or friend who is an athlete.
Next, write five, informed, open-ended, precise, and unbiased questions. Then, conduct your interview. Note that you will need to use relevant content from the interview for your speech outlines.

Instructions: Being able to convey events in a clear, descriptive, chronological order is
important in many fields. A narration (or narrative) essay is structured around    the goal of
recounting a story. For our purposes, that story should look back at your                academic, work, and
internship experiences and share the story, and any important events, that         ultimately helped you
determine your career path/major. If an event is not relevant to these choices,    then it need not be
part of this particular narrative.
This narrative personal narrative can also be thought of as an opportunity to share your story and
overall personal brand. How did you select this career path and/or major? Why is it important to
you?
Your essay should be written in first person and may be conversational. Assume your audience
knows nothing about you or Old Dominion University (ODU). This means you may need to
explain important places, events, or terms, but explanations need to be brief, so they don’t
distract from the narrative. Where possible, link to outside websites that may provide more
information about an event, place, etc. so your reader may find further information there. This
essay will be included in the “Welcome Page” of your public Electronic Portfolio, so do not
share anything that you would prefer to keep private.
Requirements: Your narrative essay should be ~1200 words, applying APA page formatting:
double spaced, in a 12 point serif font with one inch margins, including page numbers, and using
headings where appropriate to break up major sections. Any references to outside
sources, including in paraphrase, must be cited according to ODU policy.
Please submit your final essay as a Word Document (.doc/.docx) to Canvas to allow me to make
comments, track changes, etc. directly within your word document as a means of feedback for
you when grading.
Caution Against Plagiarism and Use of Artificial Intelligence
Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in submission
of writing assignments. I will only accept papers submitted via Canvas and all papers are
internally evaluated by an independent review system within Canvas for plagiarism, including
heavy use of AI. When evaluating whether or not AI has been used, heavy emphasis will be
placed on the personalization of your essay. If your paper is ultimately considered to be largely
AI generated, it will be elevated and submitted for review to the Honor Council at ODU. Relatively free of mechanical errors
✓ Sources, if applicable, are clearly and accurately cited in APA

Use the following link and watch ANY FREE WEBINAR OF YOUR CHOOSING: https://www.ccl.org/webinars/
Webinars are an effective way to obtain on-demand information regarding issues and challenges that leaders face. This assignment is designed to help students learn about various resources available for professional development, as well as engage in the thoughtful examination of pertinent leadership topics.
Many of these seminars are accompanied by power point presentations so you can “view” them as you listen to the speaker. Some seminars are not accompanied by graphics. After you have listened to your chosen seminar, prepare a 3-5 page narrative paper which addresses the following areas:
Rationale for your selection
Summary of the speaker’s key points
How this content is or is not reflected in your present work
How applying the speaker’s message can change your work place
Be sure your paper is in correct APA style (7th ed.), and there are no grammar or spelling errors. Please refer to your APA manual or see http://rasmussen.libanswers.com/faq/32858Links to an external site. for how to properly cite webinars within your paper (in-text) and reference list.

The purpose of this assignment is to have students research the measurement tools of NP performance. Through the use of quality patient outcomes, students will list and discuss three different patient interventions and how they would specifically measure the outcomes, and how these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice. In addition, students will discuss how these interventions result in improved patient ratings.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:  
Employ strategies to impact the development, implementation, and consequences of holistic healthcare policies using evidence-based practice principles (CO1) 
Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APRN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic, and political factors (CO2) 
Demonstrate professional and personal growth concerning the advocacy role of advanced practice nursing in fostering policy within diverse healthcare settings (CO3) 
Analyze social, historical, ethical, and political contexts of healthcare policies and advanced practice leadership (CO4) 
Advocate for institutional, local, national, and international policies that fosters person-centered healthcare and nursing practice (CO5) 
Due Date: Sunday of week 3 by 11:59 PM MST
Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with a penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. Quizzes and discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy
Preparing the Assignment
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure the quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:
Effectiveness of Care
Access/Availability of Care
Experience of Care
Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization
Health Plan Descriptive Information
Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems
You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:
(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/Links to an external site.)
As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients, and has a method of measuring the quality of care.
Write a formal paper in APA format with a title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion, and reference page.
You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal, and Postpartum care, etc.
Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.
How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings?
How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?

Introduction: This project has you prepare appropriate and efficient ways to answer questions in a selection (job or scholarship) interview in the role of an interviewee.
Directions: Research commonly asked interview questions and construct answers to any five selection interview questions. In such interviews, you can be more memorable and describe your strengths without bragging when you tell stories from your real life. This formula for answering selection interview questions allows you to be effective and efficient in connecting with your interviewers.
Start by naming some of your best, most marketable or employable qualities. Write down at least 5. Are you detail-oriented?: yes. Do you handle stress well?: yes and no. Are you an effective leader?: kinda. A team player?: yes but I like to work alone. Organized? A people person?: yes. Then think of examples from your experience that demonstrate your positive attributes. If you do not have a lot of work experience, think about volunteer experience, sports or extracurricular activities.: I worked as a caregiver for 3 years now full time .
I do volunteer, high school and for my church. As you frame your story, be sure to start by stating your attribute or qualification and put it in C-A-R format: context, action, result. Close by restating your personal attribute or qualification.
Here is an example of how to answer a popular selection interview question using the C-A-R format: How do you handle conflict between yourself and another person?: As a calm and collected person, I handle conflict by staying composed, listening actively, expressing my viewpoint clearly, and seeking a fair resolution through open communication and understanding.
* Statement of personal qualification
* Context (the situation)
* Action (specific actions you performed in the situation)
* Result (tangible results that occurred from your actions)
* Repeat your personal qualifications

please read instructions . I am thinking it’s to create a game or so. here’s the link to the tutorial.

If you have access to Netflix, watch The Social Dilemma.  This video will open your mind to critical issues affecting students and teachers.  Comment about how the various ditital platforms are influencing your life, as well as society as a whole.  Comment on how digital platforms affect student and teacher behavior, attitudes, and beliefs.
If you do not have access to Netflix, describe the charactertics and behaviors exhibited  by your worst leader.  Discuss how those behavior and characrtertics affected the effective of the organziation.  Indicate what you learned NOT to do when you become a school administrator.

In this discussion, you will discuss the impact of the values of leaders.
You must use the template provided at the end of these instructions to format for your post.

A goal of an infographic is to communicate a large amount of information in an easy-to-understand way. Your infographic should include the following components:
A title
Your definition of diversity
A summary of your research related to the three groups
A concluding section with examples of how individuals who work in schools may embrace a diversity-focused mindset that reflects cultural competence.

The Assignment
Using PowerPoint:
Create a dashboard from the company you selected in Week 3 to display five (5) KPIs related to the digital transformation effort. Be sure to include the 4 components of a KPI, as specified in the video, How to Develop Key Performance Indicators, for each KPI you indicate on your dashboard (Week 4 Reading and Supplemental Materials).
Note: Your KPIs will not be the same as shown in the
example dashboard below. Every company is different and has various
ways to measure success and risks. You may use a line, bar, or pie
graph, or a combination thereof to illustrate the status of each
indicator. Data incorporated into your dashboard may be fictitious so be
creative!
Propose three (3) potential leadership risks mid-level
managers may face as they work through the digital transformation
effort. Analyze the impact of each risk and provide a mitigation
strategy to address each risk.
Your presentation should be no more than two (2) slides (i.e., one
for the dashboard and one for risks and mitigation strategies),
excluding the title and references slide. APA citations should be
included, as appropriate, to support the mitigation strategy for each
ris
