QUESTION

CS1

PART 1  DUE 7/16/17 100 - 1500 WORDS  OCCUPATION: MASTER TEACHER OR INTRUCTIONAL COACH OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL  GRADES 6-8

Using Indeed.com, identify three current positions in your field that interest you. Then, use Careeronestop.org and/or BLS.gov to conduct research on the three positions you are interested in and answer the following questions.

  1. What are the job titles you found in your research of job descriptions?
  2. Briefly summarize what employers are asking for in terms of experience, education and other qualifications.
  3. How do you match up with what employers say they need? What qualifications do you have that align?
  4. What are the gaps between what you currently have to offer and what the employer expects?
  5. What will you do to overcome those gaps? (Please note: Few people will have everything an employer advertises, so aim to have about 60-70% of the stated qualifications. If you find that you have less than that and you are not qualified for the jobs you identified, then go back again and search for new jobs for which you are qualified. You might need to look for more entry-level jobs. If you don’t have experience in your field, where do you need to start to get experience?)
  6. Look for themes among the job ads. List at least three core competencies that someone needs to do that job effectively. In other words, what are the skills, characteristics and abilities a successful candidate must have (e.g., analysis, forecasting, budgeting, complex decision making, ethics/compliance, persistence, number orientation, communication, specific software knowledge, etc.)?
  7. For each of the three core competencies do the following:
    1. Think about how you can demonstrate that you have proven that you possess that competency. In other words, think about times when you have demonstrated those skills and characteristics. What did you do? How well did you do it? What was the result? What specific, detailed, concrete examples can you provide to your future employer that demonstrates your value? As you think about how you demonstrate these skills, consider this a personal success “story” you can tell to prove your ability. Your stories can come from your work experience, education, volunteer work, even personal life (if those stories are professional and relevant). See examples of stories in Resources.
    2. For each competency, condense the story into one powerful accomplishment action bullet that you can use on your resume. See examples of action bullets in Resources.
  8. If you had to describe the value you gained from this course to your future employer in an interview, how would you do that? What story would you tell about this educational experience? What have you learned from running your own simulated business that will help you add value to your future employer? Write an answer for how you might tell that story on your next interview?

PROJECT: COMMUNITY LEARNING (PBS) PROJECT BASED STUDY THAT TEACHES KIDS HOW TO MANAGE COMMUNITY BASED LEARNING PROJECTS.

You will decide on a project based on your current or previous work experience. You may also search for project case studies to determine a project, but you should have knowledge of the project's objective.

Using the provided Project Charter/Project Management Plan template, prepare this document's Introduction section. For this assignment, you are responsible for the following information:

  • Discuss the justification for the project and how it relates to the strategic plan of the organization.
  • Identify the stakeholders for the project, including the project sponsor, who will sign the project charter.

Use the sixth edition of the APA Manual as your standard for all referencing. Because this is to be a usable project management plan, it is suggested that you use parenthetical citations throughout the document.

PART 2  DUE 7/19/17 1500 - 2500 WORDS

Continue using the Project Charter/Project Management Plan template that you previously submitted, and add the new pertinent information for the following sections: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Project Schedule, Budget, Communications Matrix, and Risk Matrix.

Based on the project charter that you developed, now proceed with your project planning. You have determined that you need to define the scope and complete your work breakdown structure (WBS) to the lowest level work package, which will help you develop the activities for the project schedule. You will also determine the overall project budget and plan the communications within the project. You will identify risks that may affect the project. The requirements for this section are as follows:

  • Define the scope: Determine what the project objective will be, and define the scope of the project. 
  • Create the WBS: Start with the high-level deliverable, and add the lower level elements to include the lowest level work package. 
  • Develop the project schedule: Based on the work packages, determine the activities for the project schedule, and add planned beginning and end dates for the activities. You should have a minimum of 10 activities. 
  • Determine the budget: Using the WBS and project schedule, determine the overall project budget. Include major categories such as materials, labor, and other expenses. 
  • Plan communications: Using the stakeholders you identified in the project charter, create a matrix to show the plan for communicating with these stakeholders. Include each stakeholder's name, the content to be communicated, the frequency of communication, and the method. 
  • Identify risks: Additionally, identify the risks that are associated with the project. Include both threats and improvement opportunities.
