Instructor will review data entry forms for populating tables Insurance and Dependent with data: Data Entry forms: Populate Insurance and Populate Dependent. Instructor will review Data Sheet and Design Views for ALL database tables: Insurance, Employee, Dependent, Rate and Enrollment. Instructor will review relationships, cardinality (e.g., one-to-many) and referential integrity. Instructor will evaluate the design and output of Query 1: Query1EmplperIns; Query Datasheet and Design Views. Query results will be evaluated for correct output. Instructor will evaluate the design and output of Query 2: Query2MonthlyPayrollDeductions; Query Datasheet and Design Views. Query results will be evaluated for correct output. Instructor will evaluate the design and output of Query 3: Query3DepCodeperInsurance; Query Datasheet and Design Views. Query results will be evaluated for correct output. Instructor will review Employees by Insurance Report (reportEmployeesbyInsurance) and its associated query (QueryEmployeesByInsurance); Employees By Insurance Report. Consistent, professional design is important to have for this deliverable. Correct content of the report is also important. Instructor will review Employee Personalized Enrollment Report (reportEmployeePersonalizedEnrollment) and its associated query (QueryPersonalizedEnrollmentNew); Employee Personalized Enrollment Report. Review both Report View and Design Views. Consistent, professional design is important to have for this deliverable.

Paper For Above Instructions

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the evidence deliverable item focusing on data management, query design, and instructional strategies in reading and writing. The assignment will be divided into two main parts: (1) a detailed exploration of the database concepts including data entry forms, relationships, and query outputs, and (2) a reflection on reading and writing strategies within an instructional framework.

Part 1: Database Concepts

The database framework encompasses numerous essential components such as data entry forms, tables, relationships, and queries. Each element plays a critical role in ensuring data integrity and accessibility. For instance, the data entry forms, specifically 'Populate Insurance' and 'Populate Dependent,' allow users to efficiently input data into respective tables, ensuring that all necessary information is collected systematically. The accuracy of these forms directly influences the quality of the data stored within the database.

Tables like Insurance, Employee, Dependent, Rate, and Enrollment are fundamental structures that hold the data. It is imperative that these tables are designed correctly to reflect the necessary relationships among them. For instance, the relationship between employees and insurance can be modeled using a one-to-many cardinality, where each employee can have multiple insurance entries. Properly designing these relationships ensures that the database maintains referential integrity, preventing orphan records and maintaining clean data lineage (Date, 2012).

Furthermore, the evaluation of queries is equally significant. For example, Query 1, 'Query1EmplperIns,' must return accurate and meaningful outputs showing employee insurance allocations. The data sheet and design views for this query should be assessed for not just accuracy but also clarity and usability. A well-structured query aids in deriving insights from the database that can guide decision-making and operational efficiency (Hernandez, 2018).

Incorporating consistent and professional designs in report outputs, such as 'Employees by Insurance Report' and 'Employee Personalized Enrollment Report,' makes the information accessible and interpretable for stakeholders. Users expect a clear layout that enhances comprehension and encourages effective decision-making (Williams, 2019). Both the graphical and textual information presented in the reports should be aligned with the best practices for data visualization and presentation.

Part 2: Reading and Writing Concepts

Turning toward instructional strategies, effective teaching in reading and writing can significantly impact student outcomes. This section will adhere to the I Do, We Do, You Do instructional framework. The chosen reading concept for this paper is comprehension strategies, particularly focused on understanding narrative texts.

I Do: In the initial phase, direct instruction will involve demonstrating how to identify key components of a narrative, such as character, setting, plot, and theme. Teachers will model think-aloud strategies to show how to annotate texts for comprehension during shared reading sessions (Fisher & Frey, 2014).

We Do: During guided practice, students will engage collaboratively in analyzing a narrative text as a class. They will work together to identify narrative components, use graphic organizers, and discuss their interpretations. This phase emphasizes collective engagement to foster deeper comprehension through peer discussions, thus allowing students to articulate their understanding and learn from each other (Vygotsky, 1978).

You Do: For the independent practice, students will be assigned a new narrative text where they must identify and annotate the key story elements. After reading, students will write a reflective paragraph summarizing their understanding of the text, emphasizing the significance of narrative structure. This independent task will help consolidate their learning and provide personal engagement with the content (Duke & Readence, 2002).

To address differentiation, varying levels of support must be incorporated based on students' unique learning needs. Strategies such as providing additional graphic organizers for struggling readers or offering advanced texts with deeper themes for advanced readers can enhance the learning experience for all students (Tomlinson, 2001).

Assessment strategies will include informal methods such as observation and anecdotal notes to monitor students' understanding during the shared reading and guided practice sessions. This ongoing assessment will help in refining instruction based on student responsiveness and comprehension levels (Black & Wiliam, 1998).

Lesson Reflection

The combination of database management insight and instructional strategies provides a holistic approach to managing both data and educational practices. The integration of technology in educational settings must also resonate with methods that encourage active learning and adaptability among students. Reflecting on this lesson, it is evident that both data management and pedagogical strategies require ongoing adaptation and assessment to cultivate an environment that meets diverse learner needs effectively.
