Assignment 1: Data Analysis to Initiate Improvement Cycles in Your School or District Read the mission statement of your school and think about what barriers, if any, school staff at your school face in accomplishing the school’s mission. Identify a challenge facing your school, based on your own observations or conversations you have had with fellow teachers. Are specific student subgroups falling behind their peers in terms of academic achievement, leading to an achievement gap in your school? Do particular grade levels have higher rates of chronic absenteeism? Do teachers have the necessary supports to be effective in the classroom? In this assignment, you will retrieve and analyze data that inform an educational challenge in your local context. You will then reflect on the use of data in your school and describe how the data you gathered can be used to initiate conversations and improvement cycles in your school. Sources of data may include the Texas Academic Performance Report for your campus (available here: https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/tapr/2017/index.html), the Texas School Accountability Dashboard (available here: https://www.texasschoolaccountabilitydashboard.org), the School Report Card (available here: https://tea.texas.gov/perfreport/src/index.html), or any other publicly available or verifiable data source. More information about Texas Education Agency data is available here: https://tea.texas.gov/perfreport/. You will create three tables in APA format that display data that inform educational practices in your local context. In deciding what to include in your tables, consider the following questions: How do student outcomes in your school differ from those at other schools in your district or across the state? On what student outcome measures is your school performing best? What student outcomes is your school struggling with? How do outcomes vary across student groups in your school? If there are gaps in student outcomes between student groups, how large are they and how do those gaps compare to gaps in other schools in your district or across the state? How do average class sizes and average teacher experience in your school differ from other schools in your district or across the state? Based on educational research with which you are familiar, what underlying factors may contribute to differences staff characteristics or student outcomes? Begin your assignment with a brief paragraph describing the educational challenge you have identified. In the same paragraph, describe how school staff have drawn on data in the past to better understand this challenge. Then, for each table, write one paragraph that describes the specific contents of the table (e.g., “Column 1 shows 4-year graduation rates at El Paso High School. Row 1 shows the overall rate and rows 2-6 show rates by student race/ethnicity, for school year 2016-17”). Include in your paragraph an interpretation of the data shown in the Table. What are you trying to show your reader with these data? You should include sentences that provide specific data points from the table as well as summary statements, such as, “Table 2 makes clear that our school has among the highest math test scores, but lags behind the district in terms of disparities across student sub-groups.” In total, your assignment will include four paragraphs with three tables.

Choose a contemporary U.S. foreign policy issue and write a short research paper analyzing the issue and the policy the administration has selected to deal with it. Define the issue in terms of the “problem.”
The contemporary U.S. foreign policy issue that I chose is the Obama administration’s “Pivot to Asia”.
A good paper will have a clear thesis; a coherent structure (including an introduction, a section providing a historical context for the issue/problem, a description and analysis of the policy that has been adopted to address the issue, and a conclusion); good use of reputable sources (utilizing a minimum of six scholarly sources); and a demonstrated knowledge about the topic. Appropriate sources include (but are not limited to) Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, International Security, Political Science Quarterly and World Politics, as well as quality periodicals (e.g., The New York Times). It is important that you carefully proofread your work for spelling, grammatical, and other errors.

Create a workout program design for the client described below. Choose different workouts for different days (for example running for cardio but practicing yoga for stress relief and flexibility on a different day). Make sure to include the details- for example instead of saying “strength training” provide details like the specific exercises, or the style of training (an example might be rucking).
What benefits does the person get from each component of the plan? These can be physical, psychological, or even something like “time spent walking after dinner with husband gives client the benefits of time spent bonding and fostering a healthy marriage.”
The project should be 4-5 pages, and as always please cite your soucres, and include academic sources to back up your claims on how specific exercises benefit your client.
The Client: A recent college graduate has just earned his/ her first job, and is now juggling commuting 4-5 miles in a city by public transportation, to an office with 10 stories. He/ she has about 45 minutes for lunch most days. The of the work day varies, but is generally 8:30-5:30. The office has many young employees and the “culture” is to go to happyhour twice a week, making it hard to fit in exercise those days.
Client has no health issues outside of recent back pain, likely due to his now sedentary lifestyle.
Lastly, please make sure to cite your sources and include a bibliography- format is up to you for citations.
Yes, you will need outside sources including scholarly journals, but can also use additional readings to support your program..
Make sure to support your choices with facts and citations.
