• The stakeholders involved in the assessment process with explanations of why and how each is involved.
• How students are identified for assessment based on IDEA’s eligibility categories.
• Legal and ethical considerations related to the assessment process and establishing eligibility.
• At least three components of the comprehensive eligibility assessment process used to determine if there is a documented disability.

The brochure should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Provide a minimum of three scholarly references.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in‐text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Dr. Vic’s Tips!

Write a six to eight (6-8) pages on a contract proposal in which you:

1.  Examine the purpose of the federal small business program to include a historical aspect of the government regulations that created the program. (Dr. Vic’s Tips, here you will want to conduct external research along with reviewing Chapter 8 of Compton in its entirety. You probably want to spend at least one page on this question).

2.  Evaluate the small business set-aside program in regard to the eligibility to participate. (Dr. Vic’s Tips, you will recall from Week 4 DB 1, we reviewed government small business set aside programs – you will want to revisit that information with a particular emphasis on eligibility. You will want to review Compton Ch. 8 and specifically p.p. 88-91 on set-asides.

3.  Assess the dollar threshold reserved for small business contracts in the scenario. (Dr. Vic’s Tips: Here you will want to review Week 4 again, DB1 information and again, Compton Ch. 8 information, along with any external information you may have used in Week 4 DB1).

4.  Analyze the contract formats for government contracts to include uniform and commercial formats. Determine which format to use for the small business contract described in the scenario. (Dr. Vic’s Tips: given the assignment scenario and the role you choose, for this assignment, please discuss UNIFORM and COMMERCIAL formats, what do they include and how might they be different. Then determine what the best contract format for the assignment scenario is in your opinion. Please review Ch. 9 of Compton for information relevant to both uniform [UCF] and commercial formats, and p.p. 248-249 of Feldman).

5.  Determine the purpose of the source selection evaluation plan (Dr. Vic’s Tips: This portion deals with Compton, Ch. 10 and FAR 15.3, you will also want to review your response to Week 5 DB1).

6.  Create ranking of criteria for evaluation plans for this scenario. (Dr. Vic’s Tips: please review the section entitled, RANKING OF CRITERIA on p.p. 126-131 of Compton Ch. 10 for information relevant for this question).

Introduction
The nation of Israel was officially created on November 29, 1947 as a result of UN Resolution 181 to provide a homeland for the Jewish people in a region with strong historical significance to people of Jewish faith (as well as Muslim and Christian faiths). This was accomplished by partitioning Palestine, an Arab nation, into two nations, creating animosity among the Arab peoples in the region, particularly the Palestinians, and resulting in decades of conflict between them and the nation of Israel. In the intervening years, Israel has engaged in the practice of expanding its territory into Palestine by creating Israeli settlements there. One of the recent incidents of this practice was address by Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, Executive Committee member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

Instructions
Review the following resources:

• Link (website): UN Resolution 181 (Links to an external site.)
• Link (website): Statement of Dr. Hanan Ashrawi in Regard to Jewish Settlements (Links to an external site.)

Address the following in a case study analysis:

• According to UN Resolution 181, what are the rights of Arabs in Israel and what are the rights of Jews in Palestine?
• Are the resulting conflicts religious, economic, territorial, or a combination of these? Support your assessment with evidence.
• Is the practice of creating Israeli settlements in Palestine illegal? Assess Dr. Ashrawi’s statement that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more committed to settlement expansion than to peace.”
• What is the US position on this practice and how has this affected international relations?
