ABC Early Learning Center is a Day Care Center in Waycross, GA. It has a maximum capacity of 103 children. Harry Smith is the owner of the day care center. He recently had an incident with a 21-year-old teacher, Adam Jones. Adam was an education major at Georgia Southern. He had a 3.5 GPA and experience as a camp counselor.   Adam wanted to teach middle school math after graduation. Harry hired Adam to work over the summer. Adam had requested working with children aged 9 – 12, but Harry needed a teacher for the 4 & 5 age group. Adam was disappointed but really needed the job. Adam had studied early childhood development in school and knew how difficult some children could be. For example, he remembered reading that “potentially long-term aggressive behavior can be identified in children as young as age three or four.” His fears were realized within the first week of his employment. Most of his 20 students were great, but four were constantly hitting, throwing things, using profanity, and even biting. Adam was miserable and felt over his head. On June 16, 2019, Adam told Harry that he felt overwhelmed and was worried about the safety of some of the smaller children. Harry responded, “Welcome to the fun world of day care. Be glad that you have a job. If you don’t like it, I hear McDonalds is hiring.” A week later, a parent came to Harry demanding that Adam be fired. The parent said that her five-year-old called Adam a “big scary man.” The mother said she overheard Adam yelling “STOP” at her child for “merely throwing blocks” at another child. To please the mother, Harry fired Adam immediately.

1. Looking back, could Harry have handled things differently to avoid having to fire Adam? Would any motivation theories help explain Harry’s failure as a manager?

2. Could either discipline perspective have made a difference? Explain. 250 – 350 words

assignment

With her decision to expand Salty Pawz, Wanda needs a workforce. However, she has never interviewed or hired anyone in her life. While putting labels on bags of dog treats one afternoon, you ask Wanda how she intends to recruit and select her workforce. She smiles and says, “Well for once, I have a plan!” You can’t wait to hear her plan and feel like maybe after all this time she is getting the hang of running Salty Pawz like a business should be run.

Wanda’s plan is to place an ad in a local newspaper and have people who are interested in learning more stop by the local coffee shop to speak with her. She thinks that filling out application forms at this point is premature, so she will have them leave their name and phone number in her planner for now. Wanda doesn’t have any particular questions in mind to ask the applicants. Instead, she thinks it is more natural to just let the conversations evolve, so she can figure out who she “clicks with.” She doesn’t want them to feel like they are being interrogated! However, she is particularly interested in hiring mothers with younger school age children who can start work after they drop their kids at school. She also is going to keep her eyes open for at least one young man because sacks of flour are heavy. The only thing she is certain about is asking each person for his or her salary requirements, so she can set her pay schedule and budget accordingly.

Your Task

• Explain to Wanda why virtually everything in this hiring plan is a bad idea based on the key role that Human Resource Management plays in the success of her business.
• Be sure to inform Wanda about the laws that govern the employer-employee relationship and what could happen if she became the subject of an employee lawsuit. (For reference, Wanda’s business is located in the state of North Carolina.)

Alex has a single mom who became pregnant when she was 18. The pregnancy was unplanned and Tara never married the father. Tara had to work during the entire pregnancy and was ostracized from her friend group for becoming pregnant during high school. The father also was abusive emotionally and physically until Tara cut off contact with him during her third trimester. She has minimal support from her parents but did graduate high school. She does take some community college courses while working at Lowe’s as a cashier and at a diner on the weekends as a waitress. She wants to improve her life and give her child the best life she can. She visits the library often to check out books for her daughter and herself. While she was pregnant, Tara did not have insurance but did visit the free clinic during her pregnancy. She lives on her own and occasionally her parents will babysit Alex if there is a problem with daycare. Alex usually spends 8-9 hours 5-6 days a week in daycare.

Obstacle/Challenge: Alex's family home has sustained terrible damage from a hurricane. Alex's mother and family are experiencing major trauma from the hurricane that has leveled their house. How does a stressor in utero impact the development of the 3 domains?

You will do some research using the article provided below along with your other course materials. Then write at least 3 paragraphs that explain how the obstacle impacts each developmental domain of the child/person. You need to include both the life scenario you have been assigned to and the obstacle presented.

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the physical development of Alex in utero

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the cognitive development of Alex in utero

· at least one paragraph explaining how the obstacle impacts the socio-emotional development of Alex in utero

Emilio (DSM-IV Casebook, p. 189-190)

Emilio is a 40-year-old man who looks 10 years younger. He is brought to the hospital, his twelfth hospitalisation, by his mother because she is afraid of him. He is dressed in a ragged overcoat, bedroom slippers, and a baseball cap, and wears several medals around his neck. His affect ranges from anger at his mother ("She feeds me sh*t . . . what comes out of other people's rectums") to a giggling, obsequious seductiveness toward the interviewer. His speech and manner have a childlike quality, and he walks with a mincing step and exaggerated hip movements. His mother reports that he stopped taking his medication about a month ago, and has since begun to hear voices and to look and act more bizarrely. When asked what he has been doing, he says "Eating wires and lighting fires." His spontaneous speech is often incoherent and marked by frequent rhyming and clang associations (speech in which sounds, rather than meaningful relationships, govern word choice).

Emilio's first hospitalisation occurred after he dropped out of school at age 16, and since that time he has never been able to attend school or hold a job. He has been treated with medication during his hospitalizations, but doesn't continue to take medication when he leaves, so he quickly becomes disorganised again. He lives with his elderly mother, but sometimes disappears for several months at a time, and is eventually picked up by the police as he wanders in the streets. There is no known history of drug or alcohol abuse.

9-10. Working individually or in groups, choose two occupations (such as management consultant, HR manager, or salesperson), and use sources such as O*Net to size up the future demand for this occupation in the next 10 years or so. Does this seem like a good occupation to pursue? Why or why not?

Managing Your Career & Finding a Job:

1. What was your major area of concentration (if any) in high school? Why did you choose that area? How did you feel about it?  

2. What is (or was) your major area of concentration in college? Why did you choose that area? How did you feel about it?  

3. What was your first job after school? (Including the military if relevant.) What were you looking for in your first job?  

4. What were your ambitions or long-range goals when you started your career? Have they changed? When? Why?  

5. What was your first major change of job or company? What were you looking for in your next job?  

6. What was your next major change of job, company, or career? Why did you initiate or accept it? What were you looking for? (Do this for each of your major changes of job, company, or career.)  

7. As you look back over your career, identify some times you have especially enjoyed. What was it about those times that you enjoyed?  

8. As you look back, identify some times you have not especially enjoyed. What was it about those times you did not enjoy?  

9. Have you ever refused a job move or promotion? Why?  

10. Now review all your answers carefully, as well as the descriptions for the five career anchors (technical/functional competence, managerial competence, creativity and independence, autonomy, security). Based on your answers to the questions, rate, for yourself, each of the anchors from 1 to 5, where 1 equals low importance and 5 equals high importance. Technical/functional competence _____ Managerial competence _____ Creativity and independence _____ Autonomy _____
