Teachers of social studies and the arts are challenged to develop a standards‐based curriculum that integrates current local and global issues into instruction. Doing so engages students in applying content knowledge to real‐world problems. To develop a standards‐based curriculum, educators must first research grade‐level specific state academic standards for social studies in order to align learning objectives with required learning standards.

The Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels are an extension of the Know, Understand, and Do guidelines and activate complexity in thinking, rather than just focusing on content.

There are four levels that allow students to engage with content in various ways:

· Recall and Reproduction

· Skills and Concepts/Basic Reasoning

· Strategic Thinking/Complex Reasoning

· Extended Thinking/Reasoning

Use the “Unwrapping the Standards” template to complete this assignment.

Part 1: Video Evaluation

View a social studies activity video segment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG9dF5cXk6Y&feature=youtu.be. In 250‐500 words, reflect on the following:

· Has the teacher modeled academic language and critical thinking skills while addressing social studies standards and current events?  Provide examples of why or why not.

· What questioning strategies does the teacher incorporate into social studies instruction to increase students’ critical thinking skills and depth of knowledge?

Part 2: Writing Learning Objectives

Using the standards from your state, select one social studies standard and one art standard. Write one measurable learning objective to the standard for each DOK level using “Students will be able to” language.

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

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Leadership symbolizes a set of abilities and skills that are used to create and share specific visions and objectives. They include coaching and educating, advocating, and improving the quality of care (Lamb, Martin-Misener, Bryant-Lukosius, & Latimer, 2018). As advanced practice nurses, we obtain a level of experience and knowledge to understand and promote advocacy in multiple areas and various ways. Nurse leaders can help advocate for change by addressing the situation utilizing four different spheres. The four spheres include the government, the workplace, interest groups, and the community (Mason, Gardner, Outlaw, Freida, & O’Grady, 2016). Each sphere represents a diverse population with a mixture of education, power, and backgrounds. When the four separate spheres can come together and advocate for change, the mission is more obtainable.

In a previous class, I had discovered the need to advocate and change mental health care for the Las Vegas community. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), suicide is the second leading cause of death, and depression was a prominent cause of disability worldwide (Lake & Turner, 2017). Working as an emergency room (ER) nurse, I have seen the revolving door effect and lack of resources for this particular group of individuals first hand. Advocating for change and increasing insurance coverage can help assist in improving care for people suffering from mental health complications. Over the past several year’s government officials in Nevada have cut mental health funding, which has drastically reduced community resources and insurance coverage. As a nurse leader, I could help advocate for change by utilizing the four spheres as a platform to increase awareness and education regarding the need to improve mental health resources and expand insurance coverage to help reduce the rate of suicide in the state of Nevada.

As a nurse executive advocating for change, I am provided with the ability to break professional barriers in the workplace, fix fragmented clinical systems, and increase administrative awareness (Ingwell-Spolan, 2018). I can help by educating and acknowledging the problem through previous clinical experience, in addition to the new knowledge that I have acquired through my advanced nursing degree. Being able to see both sides of a situation helps bring people from different backgrounds and educational levels together to understand the problem, why it is occurring, and together help create a solution.

Healthcare marketers implement marketing strategies and target their audiences by advertising in a defined geographical radius (geo-fencing) to focus, specifically on the targeted audience.  By targeting based on location, healthcare marketers improve the likelihood that their efforts reach an optimal audience (Druckenmiller, 2018).

Marketers use geographic location(s) to understand consumers and personalize their marketing outreach to successfully find, guide, and keep patients for life.  They should take advantage of technology and the digital experience to support hyper-targeting efforts that drive high-value service like growth, and improve network utilization (Druckenmiller, 2018).

Before the development of geo-fencing, marketers depend on mass media to reach their customer base, with the hopes that enough people were watching resulting in potential customers.

Location-Based Marketing is another marketing used by healthcare marketers.  Marketers use the elected GPS features on smartphones to locate and target potential customers based on the proximity to a hospital or facility in “real-time”.  CVS uses location-based marketing by sending coupons to customers.  When customers who use the store’s mobile app pass by a store, electronic coupons are pushed to their phones based on their previous purchase(s).  This technique is implemented to promote store sales.

What are advantages and disadvantages of utilizing electronic media instead of print media in healthcare marketing?

The internet is easily accessible by any person at any given point in time. A post on social media sites can possible go viral, attracting more attention that one may even have anticipated for the dollar output. Digital ads are easy to change and design to accommodate change. Digital advertising is much less expensive than print media. Digital media is less time consuming and more flexible (Lewis, 2019). With print, an individual can choose the styled of publications that will target the audience.

Digital messaging can often disappear after generating an impression on the reader. Print media allows for opportunities of repeated exposure in being shared throughout the population and potential buyers. Electronic messages can get delivered without notification or consideration of the reader preparedness (Lewis, 2019). Print media enables reader flexibility. Another disadvantage of digital media is the lack of a sensory experience (Lewis, 2019). Print media allows for consumers to touch the ad while analyzing the message.

Written Assignment 3: Data Collection Techniques

Background: As noted by Kirk (2016), working with data is one of the four stages of the visualization workflow.  According to Kirk (2016), “A dataset is a collection of data values upon which a visualization is based.” In this course, we will be using datasets that have already been collected for us. Data can be collected by various collection techniques.

Reference: Kirk, Andy. Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design (p. 50). SAGE Publications.

Assignment: Summarize 3 data collection techniques (Interviews, Surveys, Observations, Focus Groups, etc.). Compare and contrast the 3 data collection techniques you selected. Lastly, what collection techniques do you prefer and why?

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format).
