Being selected to a national team is a great honor. National team members are invited and expected to represent their country in international competition. Because major international events do not always provide prize money or appearance fees, some athletes would rather attend a competition that pays for them for their work. Should athletes represent their country in competition for no money when compensation is available at a competition conducted elsewhere at the same time? Why or why not? (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs is sufficient).
If a city is bidding to host the Olympic Games, what factors does the organizing committee need to consider when considering to bid for the Olympics? (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs is sufficient).
In your own words (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs) discuss some instances of corruption for major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, or many sports organizations, like the USOPC. Discuss why the corruption occurred and what could be done from a sport governance standpoint to prevent future corruption.
In your own words (approximately 2 – 3 paragraphs) explain what “Sport For All” means. “Sport For All” is. How does this relate to sport governance?

As early childhood professionals, our methods of communication with young children supply a model for effective positive communication. Understanding the communication capabilities of young children helps us to plan for developmentally proper positive communication. Before beginning this discussion, go to Stopbullying.gov. (n.d.). Understanding the roles of early education and child care providers in community-wide bullying prevention efforts  (This resource is also located in the Readings and Resources section of this unit.)
Read the information on bullying, where you will learn that toddlers can be aggressive when relating to their peers. Here is a quote from the website that will help your focus on the importance of this topic. “Peer aggression has been studied extensively among young children (ages 3-5) and has been found to be quite common in preschool and kindergarten. In fact, peer aggression is more likely among young children than any other age group.” (Hanish, Kochenderfer-Ladd, Fabes, Martin, & Denning, 2004).
In your first response to this discussion, share and comment on what you learned from the federal government’s Stop Bullying website.

 Four Questions and each one requires 150 words and one reference EACH
1. The executive branch of the government is responsible for the U.S. Department of Education. What purpose does the U.S. Department of Education serve? How does this department work with States’ Departments of Education and local school districts? In your opinion, does having a U.S. Department of Education benefit K-12 education in the United States? Why or why not?
2. An argument for nationalizing educational standards is that failing to educate students across the nation presents a national security threat; we will not be as competitive as our international competitors without a strong standardized education system. Is this a valid argument? Are there reasonable alternatives other than national education standards to protect national security? What other reasons are there for national educational standards other than promoting national security?
3. Discuss the impact of the Progressive movement on the creation of the Arizona Constitution, including the declaration of rights, ballot initiatives, and recall of judges. Defend your position with examples from this week’s resources or other readings.
4. Compare and contrast the U.S. Constitution and the Arizona Constitution. Discuss three findings that account for the significant differences in length. Include at least one source to support your answer.

1. Select a learner for this project and obtain requisite permissions (participant, parent/guardian, employer) to conduct a skills assessment. If you do not work with learners, you are welcome to use a friend or family member – children under 5 are best suited for the VB-MAPP assessment; PEAK and AFLS can be used with any age learner/person. The assessment may be conducted virtually. Please obtain or create the permission form on your own, which should include: your name, the purpose of the assessment (in partial completion of this course) and what will occur with the results (they will be submitted for a grade to your CI, using a pseudonym, and may be provided to the family upon request – they may not be used for any official records for the learner). You will not turn in this permission form.
2. Conduct and score at least 2 sections (domains) of the assessment you select (see below for details on obtaining the assessments). Note that PEAK is only one area, and domains are scattered throughout the assessment. 
3. Analyze results of the assessment and identify strengths and areas of need.
4. Develop instructional goals for 5 prioritized skills for the learner based on assessment results. Substantiate the social significance of these goals for your participant.
