Trabajo Escrito (10%)

Asistencia, participación y contribución en clase

Todo estudiante debe asistir a clases preparado para discutir los temas del

día y debe participar activamente haciendo contribuciones efectivas. Al final del

curso cada estudiante completará una auto evaluación (reflexión final) de su

participación en el curso que el facilitador considerará para hacer su evaluación.

Portafolio del curso

Cada estudiante deberá preparar un portafolio del curso que incluirá todos

los trabajos individuales hechos desde el inicio de los talleres hasta la reflexión final

en el quinto taller. En el primer taller se explicará el formato a seguir para el

portafolio. Vea Anejos K al R para información adicional y matrices valorativas

acerca del portafolio.

Trabajos semanales

Cada estudiante incluirá una copia de las tareas semanales que requiere

este módulo y de las que el facilitador solicita en clase. Los trabajos y

asignaciones deberán entregarse en la fecha indicada y en su totalidad. Estos

pueden ser ensayos, análisis de casos, análisis de artículos, monólogos, informes

orales, resúmenes y otros que el facilitador seleccione.

Trabajos cooperativos (Tercer y Quinto Taller)

En el primer taller, los estudiantes se dividirán en grupos de no más de cinco

(5) estudiantes (preferiblemente cuatro). Se seleccionará un líder que será el

contacto entre el grupo y el facilitado en lo referente a consultas sobre el trabajo

cooperativo. Cada grupo seleccionará un tema que esté incluido o afecte uno de

los conceptos presentados en las tareas antes del taller. Tendrán 20 minutos para

presentarlo al resto de la clase en el Tercer Taller. Las técnicas que utilizarán para

la presentación podrían ser panel, noticiero, foro, grupo focal, dramatización o

cualquiera otra técnica de preferencia. La técnica utilizada deberá promover en

algún grado la participación del resto de la clase.

En el Quinto Taller se presentará otro trabajo cooperativo de 20 minutos por

grupo. Estos estarán compuestos por los mismos integrantes de los grupos que

presentaron en el Tercer Taller, a menos que el facilitador decida hacer o autorizar

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 6

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

cambios. La presentación será una dramatización sobre el siguiente tema:

Técnicas y destrezas para una supervisión efectiva. Cada grupo demostrará a

través de una dramatización de roles diferentes estilos de supervisión y cómo éstos

aportan a la eficiencia y efectividad de los objetivos de una organización. Al finalizar

la dramatización, los miembros del equipo expondrán la enseñanza de su

presentación.

Todos los integrantes del grupo deberán participar tanto en la presentación

oral como en la redacción de los dos informes escritos. Cada miembro evaluará a

los restantes miembros del grupo y entregará al facilitador las evaluaciones

individuales de sus compañeros al finalizar su presentación. El Facilitador y los

estudiantes evaluarán la presentación en clase. El Facilitador evaluará la

participación individual de cada estudiante dentro de los grupos. El Facilitador

evaluará el trabajo escrito.

En ambos informes escritos, el contenido será el siguiente:

a. portada

b. introducción

c. contenido (investigación del tema)

d. análisis

e. recomendaciones

f. conclusión

g. bibliografía

Reflexión final

Cada estudiante evaluará el curso, auto evaluará su participación en el mismo y si

cumplió con los objetivos generales incluidos al principio de este módulo. Para este

propósito utilizará el Anejo B.

Descripción de las normas del curso

1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual-Language Model®” del

Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo está diseñado para promover el

desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe. Cada taller será

facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50. Esto significa que cada

taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el lenguaje especificado. Los

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 7

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para asegurar que el curso se ofrece

50% en inglés y 50% en español. Para mantener un balance, el modulo debe

especificar que se utilizaran ambos idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo el

tiempo y las actividades equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un estudiante

tiene dificultad en hacer una pregunta en el idioma especificado, bien puede

escoger el idioma de preferencia para hacer la pregunta. Sin embargo, el

facilitador deberá contestar la misma en el idioma designado para ese taller.

Esto deberá ser una excepción a las reglas pues es importante que los

estudiantes utilicen el idioma designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje

que deben ser desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en ingles o todo en

español según aplique.

2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los estudiantes se

preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada taller requiere un

promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en ocasiones requiere más.

3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se ausente al

taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El facilitador

evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el estudiante repondrá el

trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador decidirá uno de los siguientes:

permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o asignarle trabajo adicional en

adición al trabajo a ser repuesto.

Toda tarea a ser completada antes de taller deberá ser entregada en la fecha

asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las siguientes

opciones:

a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo basado en

la nota existente.

b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la nota a

dos por debajo de la nota existente.

5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones orales es

extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el estudiante provee

una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador determinara una actividad

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 8

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma. Esta actividad deberá incluir el

mismo contenido y componentes del lenguaje como la presentación oral o

actividad a ser repuesta.

6. En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin

embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr un

trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.

7. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y no

plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado

apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo

estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea plagiado,

copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero (Vea la política de

honestidad académica).

8. Si el facilitador hace cambios al modulo o guía de estudio, deberá discutirlos y

entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del primer taller.

9. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes proveyendo

su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.

10. EL uso de celulares está prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de haber una

necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

11. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida en el

salón de clases.

12. Todo estudiante está sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y

comportamiento que rigen Metro Orlando y el curso.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa

Este curso está basado en la teoría educativa del Constructivismo.

Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de

que, reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro

propio conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que vivimos.

Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos mentales”

que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender, por lo tanto,

es simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales para poder

acomodar nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque es el

mantener una conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo entendimiento en los

estudiantes. También, intentamos adaptar nuestras estrategias de enseñanza a las

respuestas de nuestros estudiantes y motivar a los mismos a analizar, interpretar y

predecir información.

Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:

1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el aprendizaje

debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes estén buscando

activamente construir un significado.

2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben

entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de aprendizaje se

enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.

3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los estudiantes

utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos hacen para apoyar

dichos modelos.

4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio

significado, no sólo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el

significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsecamente

interdisciplinaria, la única forma válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es hacer del

avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el mismo provea a los

estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su aprendizaje.

5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 11

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a interpretar las

múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.

7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el estudiante.

Every student must attend to class prepared to discuss the topics for the day

and must participate actively making effective contributions. By the end of the course

each student will complete an auto evaluation (final reflection) of his/her participation

in class which the facilitator will consider when evaluating the students’ participation.

Course Portfolio

Each student must prepare a course portfolio which will include all individual

work made since the beginning of the workshops all the way up to the final reflection

in workshop five. The format for the final reflection should be explained in the first

workshop. See Appendix K to R for additional information and rubrics related to the

portfolio.

Weekly assignments

Each student will include a copy of the weekly assignments that this module

requires and the ones the facilitator assigns. The work and assignments must be

handed in entirely on the specified date. These could be essays, case analysis,

article analysis, monologs, oral reports, summaries and others the facilitator

chooses.

Cooperative Work (Workshop Three and Workshop Five)

In the first workshop, students will divide into groups of no more than five

students (5) (preferably four). A leader is selected to be the contact between the

group and the facilitator in anything referring to the group assignment. Each group

will select a topic within one of the concepts of the assignments before Workshop

Three. They will have 20 minutes to present their topic to the rest of the class in

Workshop Three. The techniques they could use to present the topic could be a

panel, news report, forum, focal group, dramatization or any other technique of

preference. The technique selected should promote class participation in some way.

On Workshop Five each group will make a 20 minute presentation. These

will be the same groups that made presentations on Workshop Three, unless the

facilitator decides to make or authorize changes. The presentation will be a

dramatization on the following topic: Skills and Techniques for effective supervision.

Each group will demonstrate different styles of supervision through role play and

how these contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization’s

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 15

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

objectives. At the end of the dramatization, the members will present the lesson in

their presentation.

Each member of the group must participate both in the oral presentation as

well as in the composition of the written report. Each member will evaluate the

remaining members of the group and will give these evaluations to the facilitator at

the end of their presentation. The facilitator and the students will evaluate the

presentation in class. The facilitator will evaluate every student’s performance

individually within the groups. The facilitator will evaluate the written report.

In both written reports the contents will be as follows:

a. Cover

b. Introduction

c. Content (topic investigation)

d. Analysis

e. Recommendations

f. Conclusion

g. Bibliography

Final Reflection

Each student will evaluate the course, auto evaluate their participation in it and see if

it fulfilled the general objectives at the beginning of this module. For this purpose use

Appendix B.

Description of course policies

1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Dual-Language

Discipline-Based Immersion Model® designed to promote each student’s

development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be facilitated in

English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means that each

workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The language

used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the course will be

conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this balance, the course

module may specify that both languages will be used during the fifth workshop,

dividing that workshop’s time and activities between the two languages. If

students have difficulty with asking a question in the target language in which the

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 16

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

activity is being conducted, students may choose to use their preferred language

for that particular question. However, the facilitator must answer in the language

assigned for that particular day. This should only be an exception as it is

important for students to use the assigned language. The 50/50 model does not

apply to language courses where the delivery of instruction must be conducted in

the language taught (Spanish or English only).

2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students

prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each

workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but could require more.

3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a

workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will

evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up the

missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following: allow the

student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the work and

assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.

Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in

on the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for

late assignments and make-up work.

4. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the

following options:

a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade

based on the students existing grade.

b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two

grades based on the students existing grade.

5. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class

activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can be

made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the facilitator may

determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands that an

equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same content and

language components as the oral presentation or special activity that was

missed.

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 17

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

6. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work. However,

each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the group and the

assessment will be done collectively as well as individually.

7. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should not

be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work submitted. All

quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with credit given to its

author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized writings are easily

detectable and students should not risk losing credit for material that is clearly

not their own (See Academic Honesty Policy).

8. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should be

discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first

workshop.

9. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an email

address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.

10. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to

have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.

11. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not allowed

to the classrooms.

12. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university

community established by the institution and in this course.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology

This course is grounded in the learning theory of Constructivism.

Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting

on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in which we

live.

Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to

make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of

adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. As teachers, our

focus is on making connections between facts and fostering new understanding in

students. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies to student responses

and encourage students to analyze, interpret and predict information.

There are several guiding principles of constructivism:

1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the issues

around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.

2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts. And parts must be

understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning process focuses on

primary concepts, not isolated facts.

3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that students use

to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to support those models.

4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own meaning,

not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone else's meaning.

Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only valuable way to measure

learning is to make the assessment part of the learning process, ensuring it

provides students with information on the quality of their learning.

5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.

6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple

perspectives of the world.

7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

3. Apply strategies that includes rereading, note taking, summarizing, and

outlining a written report to relate the human behavior to what the student

has read on own experience and feelings.

EL ENSAYO

El ensayo es una composición donde se exponen, analizan y comentan de

manera clara ideas alrededor de un tema que el escritor del ensayo maneja.

Generalmente es mucho más breve y menos profundo que un tratado, manual o

monografía. Está compuesto por al menos un párrafo introductor, tres o más párrafos

de apoyo a la idea central del tema y un párrafo de cierre o de conclusión. Todos los

párrafos del ensayo cuentan con una idea central (oración temática) y de varias ideas

secundarías que defienden, explican y amplían la idea central.

El ensayo puede ser de diferentes temas y usualmente el punto de vista

personal. Pueden ser subjetivos, de exposición ó narrativos. Los ensayos pueden

criticar, manifestar, argumentar, pueden incluir cualquier recolección de información

que puede ser filosófica o de cualquier categoría y generalmente no incluyen notas al

pie de página ni bibliografía si son escritos como opinión personal. Para propósito de

éste curso, evitar plagio y considerar la veracidad de la información escrita todo ensayo

debe incluir bibliografía si contiene información de otro autor y no opinión personal del

estudiante. La política de la Universidad establece, que toda información copiada o

parafraseada debe incluir bibliografía para darle crédito al autor o publicador.

El objetivo del ensayo, más que imponer soluciones es plantearlas y señalar

posibilidades. Entre sus principales características están: El no requerir un lector

especializado para poder ser leído. El ser claro y ordenado (hipótesis, desarrollo del

tema, conclusiones, sugerencias y bibliografía) y presentar la opinión del autor. El

ensayo será escrito en el estilo APA.

The Essay

The essay is a composition to expose, analyze and comment clearly the ideas

of a subject that the writer will manage. Generally, it is short and composed of no less

that an introductory paragraph, three or more paragraphs for the central idea and a

paragraph for the conclusion. All paragraphs should talk about the subject, several

ideas that can defend, explain, and give more detail of the central idea.

The essay can be of any subject and usually a personal point of view. They can

be subjective, expository and narrative. Essays can criticize manifest, argument or

include any recollection of information that could be philosophical or other category and

generally do not include notes at the bottom of page or bibliography if they are written

based on the personal opinion. For the purpose of this course, avoid plagiarism, and

consider the veracity of the information, essays will include bibliography if contains

information from another author and not personal opinion of student. As the University

policy states, all quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with credit

given to its author or publisher.

The objective of an essay more than impose a solution is to present and indicate

possibilities. Within the essay’s principal characteristics is: that it does not require a

specialized reader. To be clear and in an orderly form the essay should include

Introduction, body or the subject development, conclusion, suggestions and

bibliography. Essays should be written in the APA Style.

Case Studies for Evaluation

Case 1

Tom operates the paper cutter in an editorial company. He has had personal problems

at home, which makes him not concentrate as he should at work. As a result his

production has been poorly reduced, which has also bottled neck and has reduced

other workers ahead of him as well, who expect to receive the paper cut. His supervisor

knows about his problem and tells him: “I know that things have not been good lately.

But don’t worry about your production. We can cover it.”

Case 2

Mary maintains a firm discipline in the accounting department of a bank, were her high

performance has been very effective. One of her employees is interested in learning

more about the all areas and processes in a bank to be prepared for a position

increase. Mary tells him: “I think it is an excellent idea and I will help you as I can, only

if your production does not decrease as a result”.

Case 3

Joseph has resigned recently to the position of supervisor for the inspection department

of a big manufacturing company. When he became supervisor he started by

prohibiting any conversation in the inspection area. He told his inspectors: “Your job is

to verify the specifications on installed motors. Any conversation will distract and can

cause big losses. If you want to talk, do it on your time off”.

Anejo G/Appendix G Guide for case analysis: Recommendations that will help you with case analysis.

1. There is no specific way to prepare a case analysis in a standard form, it will depend

on:

a. The nature of the case.

b. The necessity of details and evidence to support the case.

c. The purpose of the analysis.

2. We pretend to analyze the cases more than resolve them.

3. Focus on the central idea.

4. The student should provide a detail explanation of the points in which the data,

reference of theories is supported by. The analysis is based on the information

given, not with what we think the case speculates.

5. The analysis should be brief and concise. Important information should not be

eliminated, but be clear in the style to use.

6. The analysis should include the following:

a. Brief summary of the case.

b. What is the problem or situation that is considered? First and secondary

situation.

c. Analyze the cause of the problem.

d. How can you resolve this case? What things have you learned of the case?

This includes:

i. Identification of action to follow to resolve the case, what administrative

alternatives based on theories or management practices?

ii. Make recommendations, indicate how they will be implemented and

justify them.

Guía para el análisis de casos: Recomendaciones que te servirán de ayuda para

realizar un análisis de caso

1. No hay una forma de preparar el análisis que sea la mejor o la estándar, la forma en

que se haya la presentación del análisis va a depender de:

a. La naturaleza del caso

b. La necesidad de detalles y evidencia de apoyo

c. El propósito ara el cual se hace el análisis

2. Los casos pretendemos analizarlos más que resolverlos.

3. Debemos enfocarnos en el asunto central.

4. Debemos argumentar explicando detalles de los elementos del caso, la cual debe

estar apoyada por evidencia de datos, referencias o fuente teóricas de

interpretación del caso mismo. El análisis se hace partiendo de la información que

nos brinda el caso, sin especular sobre lo que habrá querido decir la persona que lo

escribió sino utilizando la información que se nos presenta.

5. El análisis debe ser breve y conciso. Para hacerlo conciso no debemos eliminar

áreas de información importantes, sino ser claros en nuestro estilo.

6. En el análisis de casos debes incluir las siguientes partes:

a. Preparar un breve resumen del caso.

b. ¿Cuál es el problema o situación que se plantea en el caso? Problema

principal y secundario.

c. Analizar las causas del problema

d. ¿Cómo se puede resolver el problema o qué cosas aprendemos de lo

narrado en el caso? Esto incluye:

i. Identificar diversos cursos de acción para resolver el problema o

información relacionada con el caso que podemos integrar como

alternativas gerenciales basándose en fuentes teóricas o prácticas.

ii. Hacer recomendaciones, indicar cómo se implantarán y justificar las

mismas.

PORTFOLIO

Guidelines to prepare the portfolio

1. Determination of sources of content

The following, but not limited to, documentation will be included:

a. Projects, surveys, and reports.

b. Oral presentations

c. Essays: dated writing samples to show progress

d. Research papers: dated unedited and edited first drafts to show progress

e. Written pieces that illustrate critical thinking about readings: response or

reaction papers.

f. Class notes, interesting thoughts to remember, etc.

g. Learning journals, reflexive diaries.

h. Self assessments, peer assessments, facilitator assessments.

i. Notes from student-facilitator conferences.

2. Organization of documentation

Documentation will be organized by workshop, and by type of assignment within

workshops. Workshops will be separated from one another using construction paper

or paper of different colors, with tabs indicating the workshop number.

3. Presentation of the portfolio

• Documentation will be posted in a binder or in a digital version (e-portfolio).

• The cover page will follow exactly APA guidelines applied to a cover page of

research papers submitted at Metro Orlando Campus. This cover page will be

placed at the beginning of the portfolio.

• The entire portfolio will follow APA style: Courier or Times New Roman font,

size 12, double space, and 1-inch margins. See a “Publication Manual of the

APA, Fifth Edition”

• A log of entries that can be expanded with each new entry properly

numbered. The table, which should be located at the beginning, should

include a brief description, date produced, date submitted, and date evaluated

(Appendix M).

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 55

Prep. 2004. Mildred Y. Rivera. Rev. 2008. María Vázquez, MBA.

• Introduction and conclusion of the income and outcome of the portfolio.

• A list of references and appendixes of all assignments included will be added

to the end of the portfolio.

• The Portfolio Informational Sheet will be placed in the transparent front pocket

of the binder for identification purposes (Appendix L).

4. Student-Facilitator Feedback Template: Progression follow-up

The final step in implementing portfolios, before returning them to the student or

school life, is sharing feedback with each student to review the contents, student

reflections, and your evaluations of individual items and all of the work together as

related to learning targets (Banks, 2005).

Facilitators will e-mail a feedback template to all students. This template will contain

information pertaining to weaknesses and strengths found in students’ portfolios

(Appendix P). Facilitators will focus their attention on showing students what is

possible and their progress rather than what is wrong; however, this does not mean

that facilitators will not cover weaknesses and areas for improvement during the

conference. Facilitators will send this feedback template upon completion of

workshop one.

Students will also have the opportunity to respond to the facilitator’s feedback and

write their own comments and/or ideas of how to improve the quality of their

portfolios, and how to become better metacognitive learners on the feedback

template. Students will e-mail the template with their comments back to the facilitator

after every workshop.

5. Portfolio storage:

• Portfolio samples will be safely stored for a six-month term on campus.

• Students will sign an official document empowering Ana G. Mendez

University System with rights to use their portfolios with educational or

accreditation purposes during this term (Appendix Q).

• After this term, and if their authors authorize Ana G. Mendez University

System to discard their portfolios by signing an official document, portfolio

samples will be destroyed; otherwise, they will be returned to their original

authors (Appendix R).

Anejo S/Appendix S APA Style Guide

The American Psychological Association (APA) is in charge of creating formal

styles for referencing material. They started to write instructions on how to prepare

manuals in 1929. Since then, the APA group has become one of the leading

authorities in publication styles. In this guide you will find a description of reference

styles and examples that may be used to reference books, web sites, journals, and

newspapers.

References are important because they inform the reader about the source

you used to obtain the information. If the reader needs more information, he/she

may take a look at the references and try to locate them.

Do not forget that it is illegal to copy and paste information direct from a

source. That is called plagiarism and is a violation of the author’s copyrights (this

includes pictures, photos, tables, graphs, etc.). If you find an article or book with

something you want to use in your document, change the contents to your own

words instead of copying from the source. Just paraphrase! Always give credit to

the source by referencing the original work.

Remember, all references must be single spaced. After the reference’s first

line, all lines will be indented 5 spaces (press the Tab key once). One blank line

should be left between references. Never use bold or underline in your references.

The use of italics is limited to certain sections of the reference depending on the

source. Follow punctuation as it is shown in the examples. These examples are

designed to help you add references to your document in the right format.

Line Spacing and Font Style

The font used in your documents should be the following:

1. Font Type: Arial or Times New Roman

2. Style: Normal

3. Size: 12.

To change the font type, style or size, go to the Formatting Toolbar of the software

application you are using.

Line Spacing Icon

MANA 321 Leadership and Supervision 65

Prep. 17-08-04. Mildred Y. Rivera Rev. 01-14-08. María Vázquez

You should leave 1.5 spaces in between lines. To change the line spacing, click the

previous icon located in your formatting toolbar.

Reference Style for Books Books are one of the best recommended sources to use in any type of research;

however it is important to keep in mind the year of publication. For example, you do

not want to use a reference that has more than 10 years in areas of study related to

technology, medicine, or education.

Author Last Name, Name First Letter. (Year of publication). Book Title in Italics. City

of publication, State: Publication Company.

Reference Style for Web Sites

First, keep in mind that a Web site reference should come from serious, reputable

and professional sources. It is not recommended to use an individual’s web site as

a reference. It is also important the reference should have the author’s name,

publication date (at least the year) and the title. Always verify that the document

does not have spelling or grammar errors.
