Task 1: Literature Review

Goal:
To demonstrate your understanding of, and apply the research on, developing positive Mathematical mindsets for active and engaged learning in Mathematics.
Product:
This task requires you to conduct a review of the research and literature shaping the thinking and practices that build mathematical mindsets.
This paper will combine the skills of researching, analysing, evaluating, synthesizing and documenting information to reflect on the effective learning and teaching of Mathematics and Numeracy in the learning areas. (Learning Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Format:
From the research and literature reviewed
• • •
Identify and critique the key ideas that are required for students to be successful learners in mathematics
Analyse the practices/teaching ideas that foster engagement and build mathematical mindsets
Identify challenges in building mathematical mindsets for your students and propose actions for how these can be addressed
Submission Due:

Referencing:
APA Referencing style 6th Edition

For this assignment your literature review should reference 12-15 or more scholarly sources. 
Format: This assignment should be 8-10 pages in length not including title and reference page. Your paper should have 1-inch borders on all four sides, use times new roman-12 point font, be double spaced, and not have an extra space in between paragraphs. (You may need to turn this off in MS word by going to paragraph and clicking “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style). Since this is an INTL course you need to use the Turabian parenthetical citation style with a references page.

Summarize and briefly critique references in APA style 200-300-word summary of each article. INCLUDE (where applicable): the purpose/hypothesis of the study, a statement about the participants and methods utilized in the study, results and implications for future research, and the methodological limitations/critique of the study.
*Critique of each reference refers to: how could the study be improved, criticism of the author(s) assertions, and/or ideas for future studies, etc

Requirements: 

To complete this application, you will need to access to the following databases: CINAHL, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and the Joanna Briggs Institute. You may access these databases through the Chamberlain University Online Library.
The APN Professional Development Plan paper is worth 200 points and will be graded on quality of information, use of citations, use of Standard English grammar, sentence structure, and overall organization based on the required components as summarized in the directions and grading criteria/rubric.
Submit your manuscript as a Microsoft Word Document, which is the required format at Chamberlain University. You are encouraged to use APA Academic Writer and Grammarly when creating your assignment.
Follow the directions and grading criteria closely. Any questions about this paper may be posted under the Q & A Forum or emailed to your faculty.
The length of the paper is to be between6-8 pages excluding title page and reference pages. 
Support ideas with a minimum of 5 scholarly resources. Scholarly resources do not include your textbook. You may need to use more than 3 scholarly resources to fully support your ideas.
APA (2010) format is required with both a title page and reference page. Use the required components of the review as Level 1 headers (upper and lower case, centered, bold):
APN Professional Development Plan (This is the introduction. In APA format, the heading of the intro section should be a repeat of the paper title.)
APN Scope of Practice – This pertains to NP practice in your state.
Nurse Practitioner (NONPF) Core Competencies
Leadership Skills
Conclusion
Preparing the paper 

The following are best practices for preparing this paper: 

Provide an introduction that generally addresses scope of practice, competencies, and leadership. The introduction should identify the sections of the paper.
NPs need to take into account rules and regulations that guide advanced practice in the states in which they practice. Research and review the Nurse Practice Act and APN scope of practice guidelines in your particular state. Describe educational requirements, licensure and regulatory requirements, as well as practice environment details for the state in which you plan to practice. Discuss information regarding full, limited, or restricted practice limitations as well as prescriptive authority. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source. For this section, the source can be your state board of nursing or whatever regulatory/legislative body handles nursing licensure in your state. 
Review the Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies (NONPF Competencies) contained in the lesson. A link to the competencies can be found in the week 2 readings. Complete a comprehensive, honest, personal assessment to identify your strengths and opportunities for growth. Describe two competency areas in which you’ve identified as strengths and two competency areas in which there are opportunities for growth. Discuss two ways in which you will engage with scholarship as you go through the master’s program to help you achieve these competencies. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source in addition to the NONPF Competency link and lesson about the competencies you selected to work on.


Analyze three leadership skills required to lead as an NP within complex systems. Describe two strategies you could use to help you develop those skills. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source to support the leadership skills you selected and/or the strategies you will use to develop the skills.
Provide a conclusion that summarizes the important aspects of the APN Professional Development Plan.

Please follow the rubric for grading this paper.
