Look ahead at the Final Presentation in Week Five. The assignment this week is Part I of that presentation. For this assignment you will provide an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. Follow the instructions below to complete this part of your Final Presentation:

Introduction: Identify yourself and describe the nature of this presentation.

Part I (of the Final Presentation): The U.S. healthcare system. Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the following:

Describe the history (e.g., the teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; The American Medical Association; first Marine Hospital).

Identify the major developments that transformed the system into what it is today (include financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [e.g., consumer demand]). You may want to revisit the healthcare timeline.

Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (e.g., healthcare professionals, clients, political figures, schools, and what they do within the system).

The presentation must:

Be at least five slides (excluding a cover slide and reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Be presented using voice and/or video along with your Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation. You have a choice of one of the following methods for adding voice and/or video

A large, fast-food chain unveiled a new touch screen register for its franchises. Each cashier was assigned a user id and password combination to log in to the register. The system allowed the incorrect password to be entered four (4) times before the register would lock and require a manager to unlock it with a key card. To prevent unauthorized access, the registers would lock after three (3) minutes if the screen was not touched. When the register locked, only the cashier who was logged in prior to it locking could unlock it without a system restart.

After a few days in operation, restaurant managers started complaining about the amount of time they were spending unlocking the registers. Some cashiers were forgetting their user Id and password, so other cashiers would log in for them. It also seemed that the button layout made it easy for the cashiers to key in the incorrect password. The managers also complained that cashiers would leave for a break or end their shift and forget to log out of the locked register. The managers would have to reboot the system, a three to five (3-5) minute process in order for the next cashier to log in. Additionally, managers noticed that grease was building up on the touch screens, making them less responsive.

Suggest changes that could be made to the security of this system to still meet security objectives but make the system more usable.
Use Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative, Dia, to create a graphical representation of your proposed interface. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Begin to prepare for this informational interview by identifying the professional you plan to interview. Ideally, the professional should be engaged in a career that you hope to pursue. (You may want to identify a second candidate in case your initial choice is unable to complete the interview with you.) This professional may work in your local area, but that is not necessary. If you cannot identify a professional easily, ask your friends and family if they know anyone who works in the field of psychology.
Provide the following identifying information about the individual you have selected:

The name
The job title (licensed psychologist, social worker, or case manager)
The level of education (a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree)
A description of job responsibilities or day-to-day tasks
The type of license, if applicable
The state of residence and practice

Develop a list of at least fifteen questions to ask in your informational interview. Be sure to put them into your own words for the purpose of this assignment and to give credit to your source by using in-text citations and a reference list in APA format.
Ask the interviewee about his or her work, academic preparation, and advice. In addition, include the interviewee’s answers to questions on the following topics:

The experience, skills, and knowledge necessary for success in a career in psychology or in graduate school
Relevant professional organizations
His or her views on professional ethics and academic integrity
The role of psychological research in his or her work
His or her greatest challenges and rewards
His or her reasons for choosing the field

Develop a script (word-for-word written statement) that you will use during the warm-up (meet-and-greet) portion of the interview. What will you say to the interviewee when you meet him or her? What will you do? For example, will you shake the person’s hand and introduce yourself? Include small talk of a professional nature that will serve as an introduction and explanation of the purpose of the interview. Demonstrate in your script your ability to interact professionally and effectively in a professional environment.
This assignment is preparatory work for the interview to be conducted later in this course

Since 1963, a series of United States Supreme Court case decisions have clarified that in criminal cases, prosecutors must disclose to the defense evidence favorable to the defendant. This includes information that may be used to impeach the credibility of government witnesses, including law enforcement officers. These decisions mean that police officers who have documented histories of lying in official matters are liabilities to their agencies, and these histories may render them unable to testify credibly

Read the Marzano et al. book (assigned in Module 1) in preparation for the practicum observation, and do a Web search for additional literacy strategies that can encourage literacy growth.

(2)                Identify and evaluating the effectiveness of literacy strategies used by the instructors to support reading in the classroom. Reference strategies from the Marzano et al. book and/or from Web sites utilized for this assignment.

(3)                Create a class/student profile of 1250-1500 words that describes both the class (first) and a student (second) in terms of literacy traits. Address the considerations listed above and interpret what you saw as it relates to the overall literacy and learning process.

(4)                Venn Diagram

(5)                Construct a Venn diagram that illustrates the literacy skills the student demonstrated at the onset of the lessons (intro), those that intersected (through), and those that are left to master (beyond). The time you spend with the student should facilitate this process through an investigation of the student’s prior knowledge and literacy experiences (into), a best practice activity to stimulate literacy growth (through), and an assessment of what future literacy goals should be set. As you work with your student, consider, on an individual level, how fluency, vocabulary skills, and comprehension skills impact learning, how the differences in interacting with expository and narrative text impacts this student’s understanding, whether literature motivates this student, and whether you see evidence of critical literacy in your student’s approach to text
