Part D: Checklist for Style – Local Newspaper

Using the “Checklist for Style” on the following page (also found in Chapter 11 of your textbook), rewrite the following letter to a local newspaper.

In the absence of definitive studies regarding the optimum length of the school day, I can only state my personal opinion based upon observations based by me and upon teacher observations that have been conveyed to me. Considering the length of the present school day, it is my opinion that the day is excessive length-wise for most elementary pupils, certainly for almost all of the primary children.

To find my answer to the problem requires consideration of two ways in which the problem may be viewed. One way focuses upon the needs of the children, while the other focuses upon logistics, transportation, scheduling, and other limits imposed by the educational system. If it is necessary to prioritize these two ideas, it would seem reasonable to give the first consideration to the primary reason for the very existence of the system, i.e., to meet the educational needs of the children the system is trying to serve.

explain what steps you will take to develop, motivate, and support this team.

You recently accepted a management position for a home health agency. You directly manage three team leads (Registered Nurses with management experience), each with eight Certified Nursing Aides (CNAs) under them. A total of 27 employees. Your first week on the job, you realized there were significant issues with how each team functioned. All three team leads complain about how “the system” is structured, and you’ve heard rumor that several of the CNAs are unhappy with how they are managed.

For this assignment:

  • You plan to conduct interviews with both the team leads, and CNAs. Create an outline with a list of questions for the team leads, and separate questions for the CNAs. A minimum of five questions for each group (10 questions total, minimum). Please use numbered lists for these questions.
  • As you researched your predecessor’s files, you noticed no performance reviews were conducted for any employees. Briefly summarize how you will change this moving forward. Include the structure and frequency of performance reviews, and why they are relevant to employee development.
  • In approximately one paragraph, explain what steps you will take to develop, motivate, and support this team. Be mindful of solutions that require budgetary support…remember, you’re new on the job, don’t spend the budget all in one place! Focus on solutions that involve tried and true HR practices.
