Behavior Problems This week you read about identifying and serving students with behavior problems, as well as systems of school-wide positive behavior supports. For this discussion, pay attention to the issues that affect special education and how we discipline exceptional learners. Also, consider legal, ethical, and equitable challenges related to disciplining learners with special needs. For your main post, discuss some common types of disciplinary infractions for students in schools. What are some of the most common consequences for these infractions? Of the these consequences, which tend to be less effective, and how do we know? As a special education specialist, what behavior management techniques have you seen that were exceptionally effective, and what made them so? What are the essential components/aspects of more effective behavior management practices? (i.e., what makes them effective?). Do you believe misbehavior from students with exceptionalities should be handled differently than that from their typical peers? If so, how and why? Initial or Main Post: You are required to make an initial original post and at least three original peer response posts. Make sure your initial post thoroughly addresses all parts of the discussion prompt. Your comments should be clearly and concisely stated, demonstrating that the content was appropriately reviewed and synthesized. Include in-text citations and references in APA format. Utilize your text, course resources, and other scholarly literature to support your posts. Peer Responses: In order to meet minimum requirements, respond to at least three of your peers with substantive responses and support these responses with references.

There are many leaders that see the importance of happiness in the workplace and some organizations have leaders who actively attempt to boost their employee’s happiness. Google is one example of a “happiness friendly” organization where initiatives are facilitated by their Chief Happiness Officer. However, there are still some skeptics about the importance of happiness, even some organizational leaders.
In this scenario, you are a leadership consultant and based on your doctoral education, you know of the importance of happiness in the workplace. Unfortunately, the CEO of the organization you are currently working with doesn’t see the importance of happiness. You are to write her a letter to convince her of the importance of happiness in the workplace. In a letter to her, that may be no more than four pages double spaced, address the following:
Explain what happiness is, its components (including positive emotions), and how it works.
You must explain the broaden and build theory of positive emotions. Briefly describe the theory and how it works.
Explain the research and outcomes of happiness/positive emotions in general and specifically at work. This will overlap with the next prompt:
Give her reasons, backed up by research, why she should care about having happy employees.

Feel free to provide examples to illustrate points. You many incorporate any of the recommended readings or other research articles not included in Modules 6 or 7.
For this assignment, you should write the letter directly to the CEO (i.e., Dear Ms. CEO, …). Format this as a letter, however be sure to still include a cover page, reference page, in-text citations, and use double spaced 12 point font.
