Its an opinion based paper. Uploaded the instructions and the example paper.

Please prepare a needs assessment plan for your proposed program, including approaches to measurement and methods of data collection and analysis. Your needs assessment should be able to answer the following questions:

1. Who is the priority population?
2. What are the needs of the priority population?
3. Which subgroups within the priority population have the greatest need?
4. Where are these subgroups located geographically?
5. What is currently being done to resolve identified needs?
6. How well have the identified needs been addressed in the past?

The questions outlined aboe can be answered by incorporating the following steps: determining the purpose and scope of the needs assessment, gathering data, analyzing the data, identifying the factors linked to the problem, identifying the program focus, and validating the prioritized needs. Please be sure to outline your needs assessment in this manner in order to fully answer the questions listed above.

Students are expected to produce a minimum of 5 pages, cite references, and use APA style throughout. I will attach the previous parts that have been completed hopefully this will help

Who are you? What do you believe? What cognitive biases do you have? These are big questions to answer, but necessary to consider before moving forward in your professional life.

In a one- to two-page paper, consider the people and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, how you see life, and, most importantly, how they have shaped your biases.

• List and then describe a minimum of three things you believe to be true, such as the existence of God, right vs. wrong, morality, and what it means to be a good person.
• Explain, in detail, how you acquired these beliefs (including the other people or experiences that have influenced you most), why these beliefs are important and how these beliefs will influence how you engage with people and policies in your future career. Do not simply say something like, I believe in doing the right thing because it is the right thing. You must really dig deep into your psyche and analyze your own perspective of the world; make your brain hurt!
• Most importantly, discuss at least two cognitive biases discussed in Chapter 1 that you might be most subject to and why. Integrate these into your three beliefs and analyze the ways in which they shape you.

There is no right or wrong answer to these questions, but your in-depth insight is important.

Your paper must be in APA Style, typed, and proofread. You do not need an abstract or outside references for this paper.

Please do peer assessments following the “Debate Brief Peer Assessment Rubric.docx” document on the two separate pdfs “Debate_1-002A” and “Debate_1-002B”

There’s no minimum paragraph/word “requirement” for this assignment, so just make the assessment sufficient

Unlike antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis or protein production, membrane-targeting drugs act by disrupting the structural integrity and permeability of the bacterial membrane itself. This disruption causes leakage of essential ions and cellular contents, ultimately resulting in bacterial cell death rather than merely slowing growth (Madigan et al., 2021). Two well-known antibiotics that use this mechanism are polymyxins and daptomycin, which are often reserved for serious or drug-resistant infections. Polymyxins primarily target Gram-negative bacteria by binding to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids in the outer membrane. This binding displaces stabilizing calcium and magnesium ions, weakening the membrane and increasing permeability. As a result, vital cellular components leak out, leading to cell lysis. An easy way to explain this to a friend is that polymyxins act like detergents, breaking down the bacterial membrane so the cell can no longer hold itself together (Trimble et al., 2016). Daptomycin works differently and is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It inserts into the bacterial cell membrane in a calcium-dependent manner and forms channels that disrupt the membranes electrical potential. This loss of membrane potential stops essential processes such as DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which quickly leads to cell death (Mller et al., 2016). Because bacterial membranes differ from human cell membranes, these drugs can selectively target bacteria, though their potential toxicity limits routine use. References: Madigan, M. T., Bender, K.

During normal growth, bacteria continuously synthesize and remodel this wall using enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, and cefoxitin inhibit these PBPs, preventing proper cross-linking of the peptidoglycan layer. As a result, the weakened cell wall can no longer withstand the internal pressure of the cell, causing the bacterium to burst (cell lysis) and die. Vancomycin also disrupts cell wall synthesis by binding to peptidoglycan precursors, blocking their incorporation and leading to the same outcome, cell lysis. The perfect analogy would be to think of a bacterium like a house that is constantly under high pressure from the inside, and the cell wall is the brick structure that keeps the house from collapsing. To stay standing, the house needs both bricks and construction workers to continually repair and strengthen the walls. Penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, and cefoxitin act like firing the construction workers. These antibiotics block the enzymes called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are responsible for putting the bricks together and reinforcing the wall. Without the workers, the wall becomes weak and full of gaps. Eventually, the pressure inside the house becomes too much, and the walls collapse outward, much like a bursting balloon, killing the bacteria. Vancomycin works a little differently. Instead of stopping the workers, it locks up the bricks before they ever reach the construction site. Even if workers are present, they have nothing to build with, so the wall cannot be completed, leading to the same bursting collapse. In simple terms, these antibiotics cause bacteria to burst by preventing them from building a strong protective wall, which is essential for survival. References Perkins, H. R., & Walsh, T. R.

To successfully assess social studies learning, educators need to use a variety of assessment tools and strategies to measure student learning. These assessments will help determine the effectiveness of learning experiences and meet diverse student needs.

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Arrange to observe or assist your mentor teacher in administering a summative assessment. Following the assessment, work with your mentor teacher to grade the assessments. Discuss the results of the assessment with your mentor, addressing the following topics:

• How the teacher addresses diverse student needs in the assessment process. Provide examples
• Forms of assessments used in verifying student learning of social studies concepts
• How the results of the summative assessment inform future instruction
• How data collected from the assessments will help you meet the needs of diverse students in your classroom

In 250-500 words, reflect on the assessment process and summarize the discussion with your mentor teacher. How will you apply what you have learned in assessing learning to future professional practice?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Audience: Your audience is someone or some people who you wish to educate on how you became literate in two areas of your choice.

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to engage with a wordliteracyand share with your audience how that word has impacted your life through both growth and failure and in at least two areas–for example, sports literacy and social literacy.

As we discussed in class, think of literacy as beyond reading and writingyes, reading and writing are certainly fundamentals of literacy and definitionsbut think of literacy being more than a means of reading and writing. Think of it as a means of understanding the world around you and failing and growing within a learning community.

Think about the following questions with literacy in those two particular areas:

• • how it’s affected you?
  • why you think it matters?
  • how are they–at least two literacy modes–connected?

Some food for thought as you prewrite and compose that first draft:

• The literacy narrative is about not only reading and writing–you don’t have to limit your conversation there–but also other modes of learning. That’s part of the reason why we’re starting with this type of essay.
• Examples of literacy narrative focuses: traditional schooling, hobbies, careers, life experiences
• Examples of forms of literacy besides traditional schooling:
  • • workplace literacy: perhaps including ways of talking to customers, colleagues, and managers.
    • sports literacy: as a player, coach, or fan
    • artistic literacy: as an artist or appreciator of art
    • social literacy: learning to communicate with people of different ages or backgrounds
    • music literacy: you could focus on learning an instrument or even a song that made you literate in some capacity.
    • __________ literacy: consider hobbies and things you do daily that you might take for granted but had to learn how to do. In this context, think about the writing sample “Gym Literacy” that we discussed in class today.

• Avoid the urge to do research and worry about quoting / paraphrasing from outsides sources in this first essay–we will get into that can o’ worms later in the semester, so for now, keep your own mind, and think your way through your own ideas.
• Now is as good a time as any to blow the doors off some of the old methods, approaches, habits, etc. that many of us picked up along the way–5 paragraph essays, writing to the “correct answer,” suppressing our own voice and ideas, etc. Instead, why not say something and truly mean it? Let your writing begin breaking down the misconception that school and our daily lives aren’t necessarily connected.
• This first essay is a good means of calibration for both of us–for me to see how you write, and for you to see how I grade. That’s a good time for a lower point value.

Format: 12 point, Times New Roman font. Double-Spaced.

• cover page with thesis, name, title, and date. MLA doesn’t call for a cover page, but I do; use it to show me your thesis.

Required Length: 3 full pages minimum (roughly at least 900 – 1000 words)

There is no paragraph minimum (You dont have to base your structure on the classic five paragraph essay-intro paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, and conclusion paragraph).
