Document Summary

There are mindsets of important aspects of habits of evidence-based leadership. The first mindsets for this is related to direction: how well you articulate your strategy. Other mindsets are related to evidence: your meaningful performance of the measurement of the strategy. There is also a mindset for execution: how well you implement you strategic-goals. These mindsets lead to other types of mindset combinations related to decision-making, actions, and learning. Mindsets for decision: how you help people take ownership. Mindsets for action: how you help people focus on vital results. Mindsets for learning: how you help people learn from failures. One of the more important things to focus on is the mindset for direction when it talks about results, not action. Action is carrying out a task or project. The result is the states or qualities that are enduring after you carry out your project.

Behavior Topic : Increasing physical activity

1) the behavior you wish to change â: Increasing physical activity

âHow does it affect your life?

2) Establish some Baseline data about your behavior increasing physical activity

You wonât know where you are if you donât know where you started

i.e. how do you know if you lost weight, if you donât know how much you weighed?

âKeep a diary of your habits for a few days

âWrite down your feelings on those days, especially in relation to the activity you want to change

âWhat triggers do you notice in relation to your behavior?

âWhat do we know about your behavior? What contributes to it?

âWhat is the history of this behavior? When it is worse? Better?

2b) Summarize your baseline data. ââ

Identify any patterns you see.

Look at the positives and the negatives

Accept what you have found as accurate

Focus on strengths as well as weaknesses

Identify any patterns you see. If they are strengths, use them as such, if the patterns are behavior weaknesses, work on changing them.

3) Establish some specific goals. â

Short term goals

Long term goals

Every journey starts with the first step, remember that.

If long term goal is to lose 30 pounds, short term should be one pound per week. You canât do it all in a day! And you will get sad if you donât see immediate results. Even if you are choosing to quit smoking cold turkey, you need to see the accomplishments of making it one day, then a weekâ¦..

What is a short term goal? This is a smaller project related to your overall goal of being a healthier, happier you!

âe.g. lose 8 pounds over the quarter

What is a long term goal? This looks at overall, lasting improved health for your lifetime, e.g.

âEat more fruits and veggies EVERY day

âMeet your calcium intake requirement EVERY day

4) Make a personal contract to accomplish your goals. â10 points

Write down both the starting and ending dates. This will help you focus on specific activities for reaching your goals....

Specify the time

Specify the personal resources

Specify the energy that you will need to commit to this project

QUESTION I

Project Background You have just completed a postgraduatediploma in project management and are currently registered for amasterâs degree where you have to carry out a mini research oncustomer care in your organization. Develop a project proposal onthe planning, execution, analysis and reporting of the research.All processes planned for should be finalized within 6 months fromthe 4th august 2018.

GENERAL PROJECT TASK
The following needs to be done:

You know:
ï· How to conduct research according to the study-guide
ï· Sample of respondents should be at least 100
ï· Pilot study to be carried out

You have:
You have constituted a good team, and have decided to pay asfollows:

Field Worker / Data Collector	$100 per day
Statistician	$3800
Language Editor	$200 per hour
Printer and Binder	$400

Note: Assign resources as much as you can to accomplish all youridentified tasks

State the objective i.e. why your help is needed. State theproject goal, plus any constraints or conditions. Break down thegoal into several objectives that will be researched, and the valuethat each objective offers to the research study.

List all resources that will be needed, including your researchprofessionals like a statistician. Discuss assumed resources,including research requirements. Especially note external resourcesand requirements, e.g. does the study need an externalreviewer?

Present the specific tasks you will do as a WBS, and give costestimates, with sub-totals at each level and total estimated cost.Briefly discuss the estimates, where the costs mainly go, andefforts made to save costs.

Discuss the project dependencies and list the tasks on thecritical path. Discuss the critical path tasks, and methods used toshorten the critical path.

List and discuss the milestones and the deliverables for each.Be very specific about each milestone, including the project finishmilestone.

Explain the general strategy that will be used to manage theproject to completion. Project must have at least two phases.Discuss how they connect to each other, and the milestones. Explainwhy you took this strategy. Summarise 10 most important projectrisks, and how they will be dealt with if they occur.

Briefly summarise, giving the overall project cost, the projectbenefits as bullet points, and the general strategy. Provide a listof meetings with research specialists and others involved in theresearch process, with details like who, when and where andestimated times, and desired deliverable.

For the first part, you will write three different effective learning objectives focusing on insects that will support the standard from your discussion. For the second part, you will search for an existing insect-based lesson plan on the internet. Identify the standards addressed in that lesson and re-write your own learning objectives for the lesson plan.

Things to remember about learning objectives:

Learning objectives are brief descriptions of specific things a learner completing the lesson will know or be able to do. They should be succinctly expressed using clear action verbs.

The text of effective instructional objectives includes three parts. These parts are best described in the work of training and human performance expert Robert Mager:

description of a performance - Question to ask when writing this part: What do I want students to be able to do? The performance must be observable so be specific (E.g., Don't simply state students will understand something. You can't observe that. Students will define in writing, sort insects into groups by order, etc.).

conditions - important conditions under which the performance is expected to occur Examples: Given a list of... (sort into stacks); when provided with standard tools... (construct a table); without using references... (know the state capitols) Questions to ask when writing this part: What are the important conditions or constraints under which I want them to perform? What the learner will be provided? What will the learner be denied? Are there special conditions which occur on the job or when performing?

criterion or standard - the quality or level of performance that will be considered acceptable. Examples: include measures of speed (in less than 30 minutes...), direction (according to manufacturers specifications...), accuracy (without error...) , quality (all cuts must be smooth to the touch). Question to ask when writing this part: How well must learners perform for me to be satisfied they've accomplished the objective?

Part 1 must include:

1.The grade level, the Big Idea/Supportive Idea, and Next Generation Sunshine State Standard (5 points).
2. Three effective learning objectives (see advice above) that focus on insects and support that standard (5 points a piece).

Part 2 includes:

1.A working link for the lesson plan (2 points).
2. The grade level, the Big Idea/Supportive Idea, and Next Generation Sunshine State Standard (3 points).
3. Three effective learning objectives that focus on insects and support that standard (5 points a piece).
