Field Experience Interview Discipline Process

Field Experience Interview Discipline Process

Important policies, guidelines, and procedures are mandated concerning the discipline of students who receive special education services. The staff, parents, district and campus administration, and related service providers may all be involved in the decision making process regarding consequences for actions that may be related to the disability. There are procedural processes involved in determining the following: manifestation hearings, the need to conduct a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), and the development and implementation of behavior intervention plans (BIP). IEP team members must also document decisions regarding suspension, expulsion, or a need for a change of placement. Administrators, lead teachers, and other key special education staff are responsible for implementing the policies and disciplinary regulations. Failure to comply with these important regulations can place these individuals and the district in a liable situation.

Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Interview two of the following: a principal; assistant principal; administrator; lead special education teacher; school psychologist, or behavior interventionist/coach.

Discuss the role in which the interviewee plays regarding the following:

  • In your role, what types of discipline issues have you found to be the most common with students with disabilities?
  • In regards to IDEA, what is your responsibility regarding the discipline components for students identified as receiving special education services?
  • How do you play a role with in-school suspension versus out-of-school suspension for students who receive special education services?
  • How are you involved in the decision making process regarding the discipline of students with disabilities?
  • What types of data do you collect regarding behavior/discipline issues of students with disabilities? If you do not collect the data, do you review the data to assist with any discipline issues?
  • How are special education services provided to students with disabilities who are suspended, if needed? Does your role have responsibilities in determining or providing these services or ensuring these services are met?
  • What other additional insight can you offer in the areas of due process, discipline, and student/family rights related to your role and responsibilities?

In 250-500 words, summarize your interviews and reflect upon professional practices related to legal and ethical discipline for students with disabilities. Discuss the similarities and differences of roles and responsibilities based on your feedback from the interviews. In addition, provide any additional insight the interviewees provided you might not have realized until now. Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Ethics in Organizational Communication

Ethics in Organizational Communication

The true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

Ann Landers

Objectives: 1) summarize why ethics are key leadership and organizational issues, 2) develop a personal philosophy concerning ethics, and 3) apply text and lecture material in development of the philosophy.

Write a 2-3 page paper analyzing ethics in organizations. First, summarize why ethics is a key issue today. Second, develop a personal ethical philosophy. In this philosophy, you should have two elements: an aspirational section, that sets out the ideals you hope to live up to; and some rules or principles, which you expect yourself to adhere to. Third, explain why you think your philosophy will be an effective guide for you in the future.

Note: you can organize this however you wish. Just be sure you have

  • summarized the research from the text and readings on ethics and on diversity AND
  • you have a philosophy on both ethics and on diversity AND
  • you have a justification of why your philosophy will work.

You will want to review the ethical standards listed in the text and lectures. I should be able to see you applying material we have learned.

Discussion: Group Contingencies: Strengths and Limitations

Discussion: Group Contingencies: Strengths and Limitations

In situations where using individual contingencies is impractical or when a group’s behavior needs to be addressed quickly, group contingencies are often used. These contingencies are often employed in classrooms to reduce problem behavior, increase academic achievement, and capitalize on peer influence. Research has supported the use of group contingencies as effective methods of altering behavior.

One common independent group contingency, corporal punishment, continues to be scrutinized in the public school sector. According to The New York Times (Caron, 2018), the use of corporal punishment has been banned in a number of facilities and organizations but continues to be legal in 19 states. The use of corporal punishment has declined over the years. However, in areas where corporal punishment is still used, the punishment is not distributed equally, and this disparity is a cause for concern about its use.

For this Discussion, you will identify examples of group contingencies. Then, you will analyze the strengths and limitations of group contingencies.

Human Resource Discussion post

Human Resource Discussion post

Examine Figure 4.6 in the Activity titled “Completing and Conducting the Appraisal.” Choose two of the suggestions from Figure 4.6 and explain why they are vital to developing a performance evaluation system. If you were responsible for improving your appraisal process, which suggestion from the table would you focus on implementing immediately and why? Please include specific examples from the reading to support your response.

Completing and Conducting the Appraisal

Introduction

In a management role, you have to prepare yourself to conduct an effective performance review with your employees. This requires preparation and thoughtfulness. Read this section to learn about best practices for developing and completing appraisals.

It is necessary to provide formal feedback to employees through a systematic performance evaluation system. The HR professional should know how often performance evaluations should be given and if they are tied to pay increases.

The next step is to make sure you know the goals of the performance evaluation; for example, is the goal to improve performance and also identify people for succession planning? You will then determine the source for the performance evaluation data, and then create criteria and rating scales that relate directly to the employee’s job description. Once this is done, the successful functioning of the performance evaluation system largely depends on the HR professional to implement and communicate the system to managers and employees. This will be the primary focus of our next section.

Best Practices in Performance Appraisals

The most important things to remember when developing a performance evaluation system include the following (see Figure 4.6):

  1. Make sure the evaluation has a direct relationship to the job. Consider developing specific criteria for each job, based on the individual job specifications and description.
  2. Involve managers when developing the process. Garner their feedback to obtain “buy-in” for the process.
  3. Consider involving the employee in the process by asking the employee to fill out a self-evaluation.
  4. Use a variety of methods to rate and evaluate the employee.
  5. Avoid bias by standardizing performance evaluations systems for each job.
  6. Give feedback on performance throughout the year, not just during performance review times.
  7. Make sure the goals of the performance evaluation tie into the organizational and department goals.
  8. Ensure the performance appraisal criteria also tie into the goals of the organization, for a strategic HRM approach.
  9. Review the evaluation for each job title often, since jobs and expectations change.

Figure 4.6

Performance appraisal

As you can see from Figure 4.6, the performance appraisal aspect is just one part of the total process. We can call this a performance review system. The first step of the process is goal setting with the employee. This could mean showing the employee his or her performance appraisal criteria or sitting down with the employee to develop MBOs. The basic idea here is that the employee should know the expectations and how his or her job performance will be rated.

Constant monitoring, feedback, and coaching are the next step. Ensuring the employee knows what he or she is doing well and is not doing well in a more informal manner will allow for a more productive employee.

Next, of course, is the formal performance evaluation process. Choosing the criteria, rating scale, and source of the evaluation are steps we have already discussed. The next step is to work with the employee to develop improvement plans (if necessary) and offer any rewards as a result of excellent performance. The process then begins again, setting new goals with the employee.

-Post adds value by raising novel points or providing new perspectives.

-Post is concise and clearly written in an academic tone; Sentences are complete; spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct.

Survey the Generations in the Workplace

Survey the Generations in the Workplace

Survey the Generations in the Workplace

“Why is demographics so important in an engagement survey?” Robert asked.

“Our employees, by age, fall into one of four groups. Each one of these groups of employees has a different set of attitudes and opinions.”

“Okay, okay, I got it – so I have to put in questions to determine who is who when they respond to the survey.”

“Robert, our data shows that, as a group, millennials have more than three times the turnover rate of boomers and generation X employees.We need to know why they’re leaving.The engagement survey will show us if there is a problem in that area.”

“Analyses of recruiting costs show us that we are spending more recruiting dollars now than we did two years ago when we had fewer millennial employees. So, we have to get a handle on this and work to understand how to connect with what will soon be the largest group of employees in the organization.”

“Now I understand,” Robert acknowledged. “They should be making the company money instead of costing it money!”

The workplace has four generations of workers—baby boomers, generation X, millennials, and gen z—all at the same time. Each group has different attitudes and expectations around the work they do and the culture of the workplace. This week, you will learn more about each generation and their characteristics as well as how to build a culture in an organization that works for all generations.

Alley explained how to best tailor the employee experience to employees of different generations. Interestingly, all three major employee populations have different sets of expectations and place their priorities in different areas. While boomers respond superbly well to engaged supervisors, millennials have more complicated relationships with authority and hierarchy.Some of them have a more expensive set of professional expectations. Learners will work to understand the generational differences among baby-boomers, generation X’ers, and millennials. As you learn about the employee experience, post a response to one of the specific areas below:

What can HR pros do to retain millennials in the organization?

What support can HR pros seek from other staff to create an employee experience that will positively influence millennial retention?

How can information technology support a framework for an enhanced employee experience?

What can we do to ensure other generations in the company also have a positive employee experience leading to retention?

This article is about all of the generations, “Traditionalists or The Silent Generation (born before 1945), Baby Boomers (born around 1946-1964), Generation X (born around 1965–1976) and Generation Y (born around 1977–1992) all working in the same office. Generation Z (born 1993–2000).” It talks about how managers can work with the interplay between the generations to support mentoring and other programs.

Implications of Generations on Organizational Culture

Jones, V. R. (2018). Changing of the guard: Influence on organizational culture of millennials surpassing baby boomers as the largest generational cohort: A systematic review of the evidence. ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global.

Despite the fact that this is a dissertation, this final chapter is very readable and it outlines some of the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators for the different generations that are currently in the workplace. It is important to learn about these motivations because the “work environment may encounter productivity challenges if changes are not made to accommodate employees with very different attitudes and expectations.”

Meng, J., Reber, B. H., & Rogers, H. (2017). Managing millennial communication professionals: Connecting generation attributes, leadership development, and employer engagement. Acta Prosperitatis, (8), 68–83, 119.

This is a qualitative case study that illustrates the key attributes that millennials (born 1982–2004) look for in employers and organizations. This resource gives specific examples of how to engage this generation.

Choose whether you will be assessing a new maternity unit, a new outpatient clinic, or a new supply and storage wing.
