We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met. Rather than hoping conflict will go away, this paper will explore and identify the reasons for conflict and how to successfully address them in a team environment.
Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding title and reference pages) assessing the components of conflict. The following need to be addressed within your paper:
Describe a conflict within an organization or team with which you are familiar.
Identify and describe the source(s) and level of the conflict and support with evidence.
Describe the steps taken to resolve the conflict or, if it is an ongoing conflict, propose steps to resolve the conflict.
Describe a minimum of three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur as a result of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.
Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Submit your course documents (PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheet).
1. Discuss the technological tools you would like to introduce to the infants and toddler you work with (or will work with in the future).
2. Explain how the selected technological tools will impact the social and emotional development of your selected group. Could this have been achieved without technology?
3. Assess the anticipated steps you must take to ensure that you safely integrate technology while supporting children’s social and emotional development.
4. Analyze whether the integration of technology is feasible based on the ages/stages of the children you will work and the time and resources.
Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In addition to the course text, utilize at least two scholarly sources to support your points.

Please view the following:
After reviewing the DIY Professional Development page:
(1) A brief description of the targeted student with a disability: (a) Age and grade level of student, (b) Areas of academic strengths/weaknesses, (c) Student’s preferred modalities of learning.
(2) A learning objective that would be more appropriate for the targeted student with disabilities.
(3) An activity/assignment that would match this objective and would be appropriate for the student based on his or her cognitive level.
(4) An assessment for this activity that would be appropriate for the targeted student; consider and describe technologies and other instructional supports that would enhance the learning for this student.
vii) Write a 1000-1250-word Reflective Analysis.
(1) Consider the following. Ensure your responses are inherent in the essay, not simply short answers to these questions:
(a) Which accommodations and modifications were successful?
(b) If you taught this lesson again, would you do it the same/different? Explain.
(c) What other accommodations/modifications might the student’s regular education classroom teacher make?
(d) What other accommodations/modifications might the student’s special education classroom teacher make?
(e) What other accommodations/modifications might related service specialists make (where applicable)?
Submit a Reflective Paper in which you explain how these aspects work together to perform that primary function. Are any aspects more important than the others? Why or why not? How do you believe the HRM role can be optimized for shaping organizational and employee behavior?
The Reflective Paper must: (a) identify the main issues in the chosen area, (b) demonstrate new learning that has occurred, (c) include class activities or incidents that facilitated learning and understanding, (d) identify specific current and/or future applications and relevance to your workplace, and (e) reflect the potential impact to your future career plans or even in your personal life at home. The emphasis of the Reflective Paper should be on parts ‘d’ and ‘e,’ and on the application of new learning. Explore, in depth, the benefits of the new learning and understanding that has taken place.

Introduction to the Center
Provide your personal introduction that includes your preferred teaching style and a detailed overview of your experience as an educator (if you have not worked with children, you have most likely been an educator with your own children, family members, co-workers, church members, etc.).
Describe the Program’s Philosophy- Consider how the course content informed your program’s philosophy on how children learn and grow (this is not the same as your personal philosophy but will overlap). Please describe your program’s philosophy, which should be supported by the theoretical perspective that aligns most with your personal view as well as your experience and knowledge you have acquired in this course.
