Analyze the education systems budget and make suggestions
Use the city of Houston Texas. Analyze the education systems budget and make suggestions about what they should change and what is working. The paper is expected to be a journal-style paper.
The topic should be one that is potentially publishable with work beyond the class requirements.
The main restriction on the topic is that you must analyze budgeting issues on a
local, state or federal level.
A term paper topic that is related to the student’s dissertation topic is an excellent choice.
More so, the paper should follow Journal of public budgeting, accounting & financial management style guidelines and be about 12- 20 pages in length (exceptions to this will be granted upon request).
The length limit is only a guide. The paper should be whatever length is appropriate for the topic.
The alternative projects can be negotiat ed on an individual basis.
Also, any late paper will be assess ed a 10-point late penalty. The instructor reserves the right to require any student to rewrite their term paper.
In this event, the student‘s final grade on the paper will be the average of the original
grade and the grade on the revised version.

In addition, in many ways, the message of this report is a simple one: all students deserve to understand and enjoy science, and helping teachers offer rich instruction will require building similarly rich learning environments for all science teachers.
Creating such environments entails creating meaningful formal professional development programs and other opportunities for teachers to learn, as well as implementing policies and practices in schools that nurture cultures of learning for teachers and students alike.

What is the role of campaigns on electoral behavior?
Please answer the below questions using any source if need be:
1) What is the role of campaigns on electoral behavior?
2) Do the same factors that explain turnout explain protest behavior?
Using a half page per question.
More Details:
Candidates, parties, individuals, and nonparty organizations spent more than $8 billion on federal election campaigns during the 2011–2012 cycle; with state and local campaigns costing an additional $2.8 billion, total recorded spending on the 2012 campaigns approached $11 billion (Federal Election Commission 2013, National Institute on Money in State Politics 2014).
The countless hours donated by campaign volunteers and other extensive campaign activities not covered by reporting requirements also confirm that, in addition to presumably astute political elites and their wealthy allies, millions of ordinary Americans do not doubt that campaigns matter.
They are right: Several generations of empirical research confirm that campaigns do in fact matter—at least some of the time.
The “minimal effects” thesis that initially inspired much of this research has not survived it. The question is not whether campaigns matter, but where, when, for what, and for whom they matter.
Also, in this essay, I review how these questions have been addressed and, to some extent, answered by political and other social scientists in recent years.
In addition, my discussion is confined to election campaigns in the United States, necessarily leaving aside the extensive and vibrant body of research on elections elsewhere for lack of both space and adequate familiarity with this literature.
As essential components of democratic politics, election campaigns attract attention from scholars across the social sciences as well as from journalists, memoirists, and historians.
Lastly, the data and methods employed to study political campaigns and their consequences are remarkably eclectic.

Select an appropriate research design for your research plan
For this week’s assignment, you will select an appropriate research design for your research plan.
Once you have selected an appropriate design, you must locate and review references developed by the primary methodologists associated with that design.
Review the “Selecting an Appropriate Research Design” video and the College of Doctoral Studies Dissertation Guide.
Selecting an Appropriate Research Design Transcript
Select a research design that you might potentially use to achieve your study purpose.
This assignment has two parts.
Part 1: Paper
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper that discusses whether the research design you selected is a quantitative or qualitative design and why this design appropriately aligns with your Problem, Purpose, and Research Question(s).
Part 2: Research Outline
Using the Research Outline Template provided in Wk 3, add the research design, along
with Part 1 of this assignment, the revised problem and purpose statements, the revised RQs, and the revised research method and justification from Wk 6.
Include APA 7th edition-formatted in-text citations, a title page, and a reference page.
In addition, the goal of a research proposal is twofold: to present and justify the need to study a
research problem and to present the practical ways in which the proposed study should be conducted.
The design elements and procedures for conducting research are governed by
standards of the predominant discipline in which the problem resides, therefore, the
guidelines for research proposals are more exacting and less formal than a general project proposal.
More so, research proposals contain extensive literature reviews.
They must provide persuasive evidence that a need exists for the proposed study.
In addition to providing a rationale, a proposal describes detaile d methodology for conducting the research consistent with requirements of the professional or academic field and a statement on anticipated outcomes and/or benefits derived from the study’s completion.

Written Testimony
Written testimony is an opportunity to articulate your perspective on a current legislative issue/bill before a legislative committee when you cannot be physically present at the committee meeting.
It is the opportunity for you, a current nursing student & future nurse, to educate committee of non-health professionals about your perspective on a bill and provide evidence to support your perspective.
The current public health crisis has led to primarily written testimony options for the current Massachusetts legislative session making this a very current opportunity and valuable skill –191stGeneral Court –Hearings and Events

A report for your employer to explain the strengths and weaknesses
You are required to prepare a report for your employer to explain the strengths and weaknesses of opening a new branch of the business. You will present the report
A report for your employer to explain the strengths and weaknesses of opening a new branch of the business.
Report assignment:
REPORT 1: FIRST HIGH-STAKES ASSIGNMENT
You are required to prepare a report for your employer to explain the strengths and weaknesses of opening a new branch of the business.
You will present the report to members of the board of directors.
Your main task will be to convince board members to fund the new branch, and, if you succeed, you will become the manager of the new branch.
The purpose of this high-stakes assignment will be for students to show that they understand how to apply in decision making five concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity costs, rational behavior, and marginal analysis.
REQUIREMENTS:
The report should have a maximum of 4-5 pages, adopt double-spaced page margin and use Ariel Font 12.
Outline for Report 1
(1) In the top of Page 1, you will be required to show the title of the report.
(2) Introduction section (half to one page):
Below the title, two spaces below the title, write “Introduction” or just start writing to tell
us about the business you selected, including name, ownership structure, if you work/worked there, and location.
After that, discuss the current situation in the sector/industry in which the business you will write about is located.
Here, we want you to tell us, for example, if you select a restaurant, what is the current situation in the restaurant industry in the country, state or city.
(3) Body of the report (three or four pages):
Discuss reasons that you want to create a new branch. Specifically, tell us three examples each of opportunities, weaknesses, and potentials for creating the new branch.
Thereafter, adopt five concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity costs, rational behavior,
and marginal analysis to explain to the board why you think that failure to open the new branch may be a bad business decision.
When discussing the 5 concepts, for scarcity, you provide some amounts of dollars that you think may be neede d to open the new branch.
That is, tell the owners the estimated amounts that it may take to open the new branch, specifying how much rent, equipment, wages may cost.
Once you set the amount of dollars (think four categories of scarce resources) it helps you to discuss choice; so, you define choice, and then tell owners the alternative uses of the scarce resources tha Read More

Task: View this topic
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.
There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them apart from other
people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people.
The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged.
More so, some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.

More Details:
In Chapter 2 we present evidence that scientific research in education accumulates just as it does in the physical, life, and social sciences.
Consequently, we believe that such research would be worthwhile to pursue to build further knowledge about education, and about education policy and practice.
Up to this point, however, we have not addressed the questions “What constitutes scientific research?” and “Is scientific research on education different from scientific research in the social, life, and physical sciences?” We do so in this chapter.

Reflect on how a sense of community among the residents
Using The Linen Room, I would like you to reflect on the creation of community in Direct Provision Centres and in the outside communities where refugees and asylum seekers have been situated.
More so, think about the following points/questions below and use them to help you formulate a response to this week’s work that includes the play and ideas of community, isolation, cultural difference, intercultural ignorance, learning, and understanding, and living daily life in a hotel which serve as a direct provision centre.
Consequently, you might reflect on how a sense of community among the residents at the Grand Hotel or in Wicklow Town were describe d in any of the supporting materials for this week by town members, news agencies, or the (direct provision) residents themselves?
Where do we find a sense of community, with all of its idiosyncrasies of place and people, represented in The Linen Room?
Additionally, in the performance at the Abbey Theatre as a 5×5 project?
In the Irish Independent newspaper article, “Camaraderie and Challenges,” there are
observations of how “alone” new refugee and asylum seekers to Ireland can be, and
one resident, Idah, talks of what Wicklow has become for her and other residents when
she says, “Now we are one. Unity is everything” (4).
Also, where is unity, oneness expressed in the play? How?
How did the residents-asylum seekers as performers contribute to or affect the storytelling for you?
Lastly, address what speaks to you. The same two-three paragraphs in length. Please keep to the same requests as always about the technical aspects of the writing.
