Startup Business Reviews: writing a 2-page (double spaced, times new roman, 12 pt) summary regarding the following: What is the target market for the startup and whether or not you think they will be successful in reaching that target market and why. Whether or not you think the business will be financially successful and why. Finally, address at least one strength and one weakness of the business in your opinion  (marketing/social/legal/financial/other).  The startups selected should be less than five years old.  Websites that you can find startups could be www.entrepreneur.com, www.venturebeat.com, and inc.com .

What have been the main challenges and successes to creating a comprehensive system of Early Care and Education in the United States? Use the videos and readings, as well as class discussions to support your argument.  You can also use resources not presented in class. (Example of a good opening paragraph) Early Childhood Education in the United States experienced a profound change in the 1960s starting with the landmark Head Start program (Rose, 2010).  In subsequent decades policy makers have struggled to create a system of early childhood care and education that meets the needs of both struggling parents (e.g., single mothers, poor families) and two-career families.  Those struggles have included changing our society’s attitudes about the role of government in early childhood education, the role of women in a modern economy, and the rights of all children to quality care and education.  It also has involved studying the effects of high-quality early childhood programs (e.g., Perry Preschool, Abecedarian Program, Head Start Longitudinal Study), looking at models outside the United States, and changing the attitudes of the general public about our most vulnerable citizens.    https://archive.org/details/cubanc_000267

In Weeks 1–4, you observed and created field notes for each of the Walden Scholars of Change videos. Now that you have completed your observations, next you will select one of the Scholars of Change videos to begin the coding process of not only your field notes but also the transcript of the video you downloaded. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the chapters in the Saldaña text found in this      week’s Learning Resources. Review the Introduction to Coding and From      Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources. Refer back to your observational field notes from the      Scholars of Change Videos from Weeks 1–4. Choose one of the four Scholars of Change videos and      refer to your field notes from your observation. Access the transcript you downloaded for the media      program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this Discussion. Begin to code the transcript and the observational      field notes of the Scholar of Change Video you chose. (Note: You      will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are      acceptable.) A brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding. Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.  Learning Resources Required Readings Saldaña, J.
