Some commonly mentioned charges against testing directed toward the use of aptitude and achievement tests are:

•Criticism 1: Tests Create Anxiety
•Criticism 2: Tests Categorize and Label Students
•Criticism 3: Tests Damage Students’ Self-Concepts
•Criticism 4: Tests Create Self-fulfilling Prophecies

No matter what your personal stance is, when you put on the teacher’s hat, you are expected by your school and TEA to persuade your students, parents, and the general community the benefits of mandated tests. Read through Chapter 1 and explain and defend 2 criticisms from above in your own words as if you were talking to parents in a teacher/parent conference.

You will write a 1-2 page analysis of the criticisms you have chosen. Include an introduction describing why you chose the criticisms you did. You will need to determine strengths and concerns, but overall your responses needs to be positive because you are addressing parents. Include references to course readings or other research articles you found in the UHD Library databases in order to support your work.

You will have the opportunity to complete 6 Critical Thinking assignments during the course of the semester. Each assignment should be approximately 1-2 pages in length, be written in APA format, and include references to the course readings to support your work.

For the Final Project, you will develop a strategic plan for a new non-profit or existing government organization. As you progress through the Readings, Discussions, and Assignments in the course, think about: how each might help you complete the Final Project.

To complete the Final Project you will write a paper that addresses the following:

Creating an Organization (Week 3)
Create a new non-profit organization with a global presence or identify a government organization at the local, state, or national level that works with multiple stakeholders.
Develop and explain the organization’s mission, values, and strategic initiatives.
Identify organizational stakeholders and conduct a stakeholder analysis.
Analyzing Organizations (Week 5)
Conduct a SWOT or Appreciative Inquiry (AI) analysis.
Evaluate the organization from multiple sustainable perspectives, including financial considerations, positive community outcomes, and innovation.
Strategic Goals (Week 7)
Develop 2–3 short-term goals (1–4 years) for the organization. Identify challenges that might impact these goals and explain how the organization might overcome them.
Develop 2–3 long-term goals (15–20 years) for the organization. Identify long-term trends (i.e., social, political, demographic, economic, ecological, technological, etc.) that might impact these goals.
Explain why it is important to define short-term and long-term goals. Identify resources that you might use to help you define your organizational goals.
Final Paper (Week 10)

The Final Paper will include:
A 12- to 15-page paper (not including title page and reference list) that addresses steps 1–4 of the Final Project
Proper APA formatting, including the following in your paper:
A title page and running head
An introduction that states the purpose of the paper
Level 1 headings to define each part of the paper
A conclusion to synthesize the entire paper
A minimum of 10 scholarly sources to support your paper

Mathis and Jackson (2000) suggested that Frederick Herzberg concurred that Maslow Hierarchy of needs is an effective approach to motivate employees; however, individuals are confronted with other needs in the workplace, such as intrinsic needs.

 

Herzberg introduced the concept of the Hygiene /Motivation theory. He suggested that to produce high employee performance in the workplace, two factors were needed intrinsic and extrinsic, (motivation/hygiene) the intrinsic factors are basic needs for individuals to perform productively in a workplace and individuals can very often determine the outcome.

 

Achievement, the work itself, growth and advancement are called the motivation factors. In past years leaders/managers gravitated more towards the theory x concept, regarding managing employees. However, in the twenty-first century leaders/managers understand the concept of theory Y, which advocates the discourse of fulfilling the needs of both individual and organizational needs. Therefore, leaders/managers must continually guide employees in a positive direction to establish work ethics that produce optimal job performance.
