What is the cost of these supplements?
How do the amounts of vitamins and minerals in the product compare with the DRIs, AI, and UL?
Are the levels of nutrients safe?
What compounds are included that are not essential nutrients?
What disclaimers or warnings are made about the product? Does the manufacturer provide scientific evidence to back up their claim? 
How likely is the supplement to improve a person’s health?

Leaders in special education may be directors, instructional support teachers, supervisors, or classroom teachers. Despite the title, leaders in the field of education must be equipped with the consistent evolution of educational context and reforms. Special educators must possess the ability to engage in collaborative and meaningful discussions as they relate to curriculum planning, assessment, integration of technology, and progress monitoring. This requires extensive knowledge in pedagogy, educational discourse, philosophy, and policy. Special educators have provided their experience and expertise to the general education setting for decades. Sharing effective strategies and instructional practices that have benefitted students with exceptionalities has, in turn, proven to be as successful when working with students without exceptionalities. For instance, practices such as differentiation, catering to student’s individual needs, diagnostic assessments, and parental involvement are just a few of the procedures adapted to benefit general education students (Florian, 2014). For this Discussion, you will create a video sharing what you believe are the 10 most important aspects of being a leader in the field of special education that you identified in Module 6. Support your choices with evidence from the research, aligned with the Coherence Framework, and any past field experiences.
To Prepare:

  • Review Chapters 49 and 50 in the Florian text,      reflecting on the specific skills, knowledge, and practices critical to      the understanding and advancement in the field of special education.
  • Review the feedback given by your Instructor and peers      on your 10 important aspects of being a leader in special education from      Module 6.
  • Summarizing and defending your top 10 choices.

Provide a summary on power point slides explaining why you chose the 10 topics aspects of being a leader in special education and what resources helped to support that decision.

What recommendations would you make to address your colleague's point regarding the need for more “CRNA research?”

250 words 1 reference (from link provided) MUST HAVE IN-TEXT CITATIONS THAT MATCH REFERENCE

In response to DBP # 3 (VA Rule), one of your colleagues posted, “…the authors of the articles are using scare tactics, instead of evidence, …to sway public opinion. A few weeks ago, there was a Facebook post by the ASA circulating that used the same tactics. I opened and read the comments from the public. It was sad how misinformed they [are]. Many of the comments [described] CRNAs [as] inferior and providing poor care. In order to combat this [attitude], I believe the CRNA associations need to start writing and circulating the research articles to prove otherwise.”

Additionally, a CRNA recently posted the following on the AANA’s Connect All Member Community: “…I asked four well-educated, non-medical people at a dinner party, if they would rather have a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist or an Anesthesia Assistant do their anesthesia for surgery. After a few minutes of debate, they decided the Anesthesia Assistant works directly with the Anesthesiologist, so he/she probably knows more than the Nurse…”
