Tutorial 2 Professional Development

2. Taking the two examples (one example of right versus right moral dilemma, and one example of right versus wrong from your work experience) that you identified in week one, what criteria and factors were considered during the examination of the issue or dilemma?

To apply utilitarianism to this ethical controversy one has to evaluate which option would benefit society

Person B: There are two different kinds: act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism, but first let’s get clear about the general idea which has always been very influential in the way we think about ethical issues. The main idea is that “it is morally right for a person to do act X if and only if X produces more good than bad for everyone affected by the act, including that person”. Otherwise, the act would be wrong.

4. How you would use the ethical decision-making model to address or resolve the situation? I would first try to understand the reasons for which Janet was not conducting a face-to-face communication with her clients and noting down information on them which were not true. Then I would identify and understand the standards and codes which are related this issue. Then I would talk to Janet And would asked her why she has

1) The Booth Pharmaceutical Corporation has to face whether or not to continue selling the drug Vanatin. In participating in the activity, acting as a board member of the Booth Corporation, I along with my other group members were faced with an ethical dilemma. The dilemma was; should the company continue to sell Vanatin even though is has dangerous effects? The drug Vanatin is a major profit producing aspect of the Booth Corporation comprising 12% of its gross income in the United States. Additionally, the corporation makes about the same amount of money in foreign markets under a different name. Booth Pharmaceutical can continue to sell the product and with help from lobbyists get past the FDA. However, the drug is proven to have

Utilitarianism is based off of the idea that actions are right if they are beneficial and support the majority. When a person is faced with a decision, he or she must think about the consequences in terms of pleasure versus pain. That person has a moral obligation to figure out which outcome is the better one. Majority of this paper will discuss act utilitarianism versus rule utilitarianism and different philosophical objections to each. Act utilitarianism is best described as actions that lead to the best consequence in that moment. For instance, a professor passes someone to get into medical school, even if he or she didn’t do all the work. The professor’s judgement is that the person would be a great doctor. Likewise, the student did

As a manager/Leader I have to make portfolio of professional development. So in this portfolio I made evidence which is supported by my own advanced professional development journal. That includes my own personal skill audit, SWOT analysis, my learning style changes, skill acquisition with the help of some online tests like MBTI time management, learning inventory. This also includes material collected to demonstrate achievement of the criteria required by learning outcomes.

What are some of the main purposes, guidelines, and standards for professional development? The purpose of professional development is increase student achievement and to determine strategies that are beneficial for students (Vacca, Vacca, and Mraz, 2014, p.387). It is to provide research-based strategies to aid teachers in being successful with their students. What is more, the guidelines to aid teachers are to focus on what the teacher needs, as well as the learning community. In addition, the professional developments focus on academic and school improvement. While in these professional developments, teachers should learn about the best practices to aid teachers to become experts in their content, pedagogy, and technology. These training should also allow teachers to plan with others in their field and content areas. In order to ensure that teachers learn the information, they should be provided adequate amount of time to learn the information (Vacca, Vacca, and Mraz, 2014, p.387). Finally, the standards should include strategies that are research based, broad and collaborative, content-specific and differentiate for a diverse set of learners (Vacca, Vacca, and Mraz, 2014, p.388).

Rule-utilitarianism has the same approach as act-utilitarianism but produces the greatest benefit, satisfactions of the interest or advantage, the greatest number of people related the action being considered, but not just for this one act, for this one act and for all similar acts, under similar circumstances, what would produced the greatest amount of benefit

I have an exciting opportunity that I hope you will consider. I believe that the best form of professional development is programming created by Portland teachers to support Portland teachers. To that end, I am looking for teachers willing to share best practices for the inclusion of technology in the classroom. I am able to pay $200.00 to any teacher K-12 who is willing to make a webinar, screencast, podcast, video, etc., in which you demonstrate how you use instructional technology in the classroom. My goal is to upload the content to a Google classroom site along with resources and material, and make the content available to any teachers looking for suggestions on how to incorporate technology in the classroom. I have included a suggested

1. Utilitarians believe that “one should so act as to promote the greatest happiness (pleasure) of the greatest number of people” (Angeles 326). However, within the utilitarian community there are major splits in how we are to determine which action brings us the greatest amounts of pleasure. Today I will be focusing on two ways to determine which actions bring the greatest amount of pleasure to a situation: act and rule utilitarianism. I will define both act and rule utilitarianism, give a situation where both can be applied, and respond to an objection of utilitarianism. I will also be discussing why I believe act utilitarianism helps more people than rule utilitarianism, in turn, becoming ‘superior’ to rule utilitarianism.

Although they have been criticised, these standards provide a specification of competencies, or abilities, which it is argued that managers in various roles and levels require. They can thus provide a starting point for determining development needs and for designing development programmes. Qualifications have been developed using this framework, which requires evidence of competence at work. Many organisations have developed their own competence frameworks.

I choice to use the Seven Step Model of a Decision-Making Model for Resolving Ethical Issues in order to define what is ethical in this case study.

Professional development is vital for growing an individual’s capabilities in both the workplace and in one's personal experience. Personal professional development through an employer has the potential to demonstrate that they care about them and provide intrinsic motivation to capable employees which will result in a cheerful and productive followers that will support the leadership (Northhouse, 2013). Human Services Incorporated stated purpose is to transform lives and disciple making. The organization also claims to embrace opportunities for growth (41, 2009). Therefore, Humans Services Incorporated would do well to institute and systematize a personal professional development program for employees and volunteer staff.

When assessing the characteristics of high-technology driven health systems—those systems that focus on restoration rather than prevention, it is more practical to identify what these systems “do not do versus what
