For  this assignment, you will create a plan for your second grade class  describing how you would engage families and the community in the  development and learning of young children with and without  exceptionalities in your class. Review  the “Class Profile” and the students’ needs, strengths, and  demographics. Based on the diversity of the “Class Profile,” create a  1,000-1,250 word family and community engagement plan that you will use  for this class of students. Use the “Family and Community Engagement Plan Template” to complete this assignment. Include the following in your plan: Methods of communication for parents/teachers/volunteers/other service providers to promote respectful, reciprocal relationships. Volunteer  opportunities within your classroom and school, for the community and  families, that accommodate different schedules and needs (including  working families), and are designed to help build safe, positive  learning environments with supportive and respectful interaction. In  addition, include a description of how you will provide  orientation/training for the volunteers. How  you will respond empathetically, ethically, and legally to family  emergencies or families in crisis. Include safe intervention strategies  in your plan for these unexpected circumstances for families with  children both with and without exceptionalities. Strategies  and procedures for sharing educational and community resources with  families of students with and without exceptionalities. Brief  rationales for each section as indicated on the template. Rationales  should address how the “Class Profile” was incorporated into the  section. Include  research to support and explain your choices. Specifically, include  three or more resources that discuss how language, culture, and family  background can influence the learning of students with and without  exceptionalities, as well as the importance of family involvement in  student achievement, especially in the early years of an education.

Hello Again!I want to do the 3-4 pages of a training manual. Develop either a training deck (12-15 slides) or training manual (3-4 pages) to ensure new hires have a solid understanding of income statements, balance sheets, and the elements that go into them.IntroductionThis portfolio work project will help you to not only better understand commonly used accounting tools, but it will also give you the opportunity to use your skills and experience by preparing training materials to train someone else.ScenarioYou work for an organization that is seeking growth and recently has hired new district managers to assist in this growth. In talking to other regional managers, you have heard that some district managers do not have a thorough understanding of commonly used accounting tools including an income statement and balance sheet. You have a new district manager hire, John, and see the need to do some training with him so he has a solid understanding of income statements, balance sheets, and the elements that go into them, including advertising costs, Web development costs, and store opening costs.In preparing to train your new hire, you have determined that the use of examples (a picture is worth a thousand words) can be a great approach to use. So you have decided to gather some examples from the company’s summary of significant accounting policies from its latest financial statements.You may apply this scenario to either Option 1 or Option 2, described in Requirements below.Your RoleYou are a regional manager for Urban Outfitters or your selected organization and oversee a number of districts. You have recently brought a new district manager on board and want to ensure he has the knowledge and tools needed to effectively do his job.RequirementsOption 1:The organization you work for is Urban Outfitters. Use the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website to find the Urban Outfitter’s 2016–2017 financial statement’s summary of significant accounting policies. Look at the data for 2015, 2016, and 2017 for the following examples of essential elements you need to cover with John and ensure his understanding.Advertising. Examine the criteria used to expense and capitalize advertising costs and where these costs appear in the financial statement.Store opening costs. Examine how store opening and organization costs were handled and where these costs appear in the financial statement.Website development costs. Examine the approaches taken during the application and infrastructure development stage and the planning and operating stage.Option 2:Use a firm or scenario of your choosing.Before choosing a company, read the assessment thoroughly to ensure:The company fits the assessment requirements.You have access to the financial statement’s summary of significant accounting policies and the Note disclosures from which you are drawing your materials. Include this information in the appendix for reference.You can distribute the data without disclosing confidential company information.Training MaterialsAs you prepare your training materials for John, use the examples you collected from the company’s Notes to financial documents to illustrate how you address the following items:Explain how one or more of the following costs are captured:Advertising.Store opening. If store opening costs were capitalized, over what time period would you amortize them? Explain why you selected this time period.Website development.Analyze the importance of Notes to financial statements in interpreting financial statements.Explain how the accounting method the company uses affects the financial statements.Explain how the financial statements would differ if another method were used to capture the costs.If you have a preference for capitalizing or expensing these costs, explain why it is your preference.Deliverable FormatLeadership has asked that you develop either a training deck or a training manual that you will use with John and that can be deployed with other new hires as well. Regardless of the format selected, the information should address the points identified above and with detailed explanations within the notes areas of slides or within the training manual text. It will also be helpful to include information in regard to why each item is important to the organization as well as the success of the new district manager.To use your time and John’s time wisely, be conscientious about providing thorough yet concise information. These materials are expected to be used by others for future training needs, so make sure they are well organized and clear.Training materials requirements:12–15 slides for a training deck. Include additional details as slide notes.3–4 pages for a training manual.Related company standards for either format:The training manual is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.To learn more about creating presentations, click "MBA Program Resources" and then "Presentation Skills."In addition to the training deck or manual materials, include:Title (slide or page).References (slide or page).Appendix with supporting materials. If you are using a firm or scenario of your choosing, ensure faculty has sufficient information to understand how you reached your recommendation.At least two APA-formatted references.EvaluationBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:Competency 1: Explain how accounting concepts and practices impact financial reporting.Explain how the accounting method the company used affects the financial statements.Compare how two accounting methods differ in their effects on the financial statements.Competency 4: Communicate financial information with multiple stakeholders.Communicate accounting information clearly.Faculty will use the scoring guide to review your deliverable as if they were your immediate supervisor. Review the scoring guide prior to developing and submitting your assessment.ePortfolioThis portfolio work project demonstrates your competency in applying knowledge and skills required of an MBA learner in the workplace. Include this in your personal ePortfolio.Note: Faculty may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.

discussion 1: Arcelia RaelMalik (2019) writes that data distributions are important in data analysis because they allow us to accurately answer probability questions about the behavior of our data by allowing us to understand the behavior of variables in our data set. Using normal distribution functions in R that calculate mean and standard deviation, alongside visual tools like histograms and plots, allows us to understand our data better. One way to find whether data is normally distributed is to test our data using Shapiro-Wilk’s method, which tells us if the normal distribution occurs based on a given p-value. For example, STHDA (n.d.) notes that when using the function shapiro.test(), if the p-value output is > .05, then we can assume a normal distribution. Additionally, we may attest to a normal distribution by plotting data using density plots, Q-Q plots, and bar graphs (overlayed with a curve) to assess distribution. For example, when assessing distribution using a bar graph, we expect the curve to be shaped like a bell as this implies that the continuous probability distribution is symmetrically distributed, peaking at the mean. Other functions in R that are used on normally distributed data include dnorm, prnorm, and qnorm. Malik (2019) writes that with the dnorm() function we are able to find the probability distribution for each point in our dataset given the mean and standard deviation. We can further test the probability of whether variables in our data set are greater or less than the variable x by using functions like pnorm(), or to find specific values based on a given probability.

Analysis requires distributions to be performed to understand the relationship between data points and to test probability. An analyst can identify appropriate sample distributions by repeating the survey multiple times until it is determined that the sample distribution is adequate and matches the data generating process. “R has four in built functions to generate normal distribution” (“Normal Distribution”, n.d.). In order to test whether data is normally distributed in R, an analyst can use the following functions: dnorm(), pnorm(), qnorm(), and rnorm(). These four functions within R generate normal distribution which will ultimately reflect a bell shape curve in the graph.Reference:Normal Distribution. (n.d.).

A primary difference between hypothesis testing and exploratory data analysis (EDA) is that hypothesis testing requires that the analyst have some appropriate insight into or assumptions about the relationships between predictors and target whereas EDA requires no preconceived notions about the data.An analyst would prefer to use EDA over hypothesis testing when (1) the data set has a relatively large number of predictors, and / or (2) the analyst is generally unfamiliar with the data. The purpose of EDA is to explore the data distributions and compare proportions of the various elements in order to uncover interesting relationships among predictors and between the predictors and the target.I look forward to viewing your responses for the discussion this week!God bless,KyleREPLY
