Then, select one of the following options below: Choose one mundane behaviour from your log that is based on a social norm. Violate this norm. Be sure you are not breaking any rules or laws or putting yourself at risk in any way. Here is a link to Examples of Norm Violations (Links to an external site.), but feel free to come up with your own (or Google search for additional ideas.

Suppose that you have been hired by a local school district to conduct educational research at the district’s largest middle school. The district is concerned because there has been a dramatic increase in student discipline issues over the past six months. The district has asked you to conduct an experiment to determine the best intervention for reducing behaviour problems among middle school students. You must apply the experimental design skills you learned in this class to address this practical research problem. Your assignment will take the form of a PowerPoint presentation in which you present your findings to the school district, the administration and teachers, and other stakeholders. To complete this assignment, download the provided PowerPoint template (Experimental Design Project – Template.pptx). First, you will develop the introduction and literature review. Using the PsycINFO database, locate literature on the topic of student classroom behaviour and use these articles to establish the importance of the problem. Next, conduct a brief literature review to determine a viable research-based intervention that you could try in this research setting. Summarize (and cite) three published articles advocating for this intervention approach. Next, state a clear hypothesis (how you think the intervention will affect students’ classroom behaviour). In the next part of your presentation, you will describe in detail the participants, classroom behaviour measure, and experimental procedure that you will use in this study. Make sure to include the number of participants, what grade they are in, and any other information that is unique to your sample. For the measure section, determine how you will measure student classroom behaviour. If you choose a published instrument, describe it and provide validity information with a citation. For the procedure section, describe your experiment in detail. Drawing from the articles you cited in the literature review, explain the intervention that you will use in the experimental condition and how it will differ from the control group. Finally, discuss two limitations of your study and two potential threats to validity and how these might affect the results of your study. Also, explain the ethical concerns that need to be addressed in this study and how you will protect the rights of your research participants. On your last slide, provide the APA-style references for all the articles you cited in the presentation. Note that, for this PowerPoint presentation, you can list the references using bullet points instead of hanging indents

Competency Analyze leadership and management roles in change management. Instructions An effective leader must possess the skills, emotional intelligence, and knowledge base to influence and convince the members of the organization to not only adapt but to become advocates for the change that the leader seeks to implement. In order for one to develop the leadership skills that are required to affect change within the organization, one must become familiar with a variety of approaches previously utilized by successful leaders and managers in organizational transformation. For this assignment, utilize the Rasmussen Business Library resource to research a business case study of an organization going through strategic change. Then research two leadership strategies that have been used to successfully drive organizational change during the past 10 years. Once you have located these strategies, write a paper analyzing the effectiveness of each strategy, and relate how effective management strategy alone may well be challenged to achieve desired change without effective leadership. In your analysis, address the following: Identify and research two leadership strategies. Develop a description of the leadership strategies. Formulate an overview of how the strategy is used and rate its effectiveness. Argue whether the strategy is still relevant and effective in present-day organizations. Why or Why not? Describe how management alone will fall short of achieving desired organizational change without all levels of leadership effectively operating in their roles.
