GRANT PROPOSAL TOPIC

***My project idea is developing a grant that will assist with disruptive/unruly high school students. Once this proposal is developed and funded it will assist schools and their teachers with methods that will allow them to be more in control of their classrooms which will ultimately promote effectiveness and a higher graduation rate. Better classroom management techniques will be more appealing to stakeholders and other organizations because it will make education in the public school system more marketable when compared to private schools.

****** Please see the attached example sent by the teacher. This assignment needs to be set up like the provided example. Make sure to focus on teachers with disruptive students and how to solve/correct the problem. Include resources that you have found with pertinent information******

Assignment 1: Final Project: Writing the Grant Part 1: Needs Statement, Goals, and Objectives

This week, you begin work on your Final Project. The Final Project consists of three written assignments that culminate in the submission of your grant proposal to your Instructor in Module 6. Parts 1, 2, and 3 will focus on major elements required of all proposals. In the final Grant Proposal Submission, incorporating the cumulative feedback you receive from your Instructor, you will compile these elements into your grant proposal.

The three parts of the Final Project are:

  •  Part 1: Needs Statement, Goals, and Objectives (Due Module 2)

For this Assignment:

  •  Review the Final Project Guidelines located in this module’s Learning Resources.
  •  Download a copy of your selected RFP. You will use this document to guide, focus, and support the development of all parts of your Final Project. Keep in mind as you complete your Final Project assignments that you are writing in accordance with the requirements of the RFP. You must also include the use of evidence-based practice in the literature review.
  •  Consider feedback to Discussion 1 from colleagues and your Instructor and your continued evaluation of the literature and funder guidelines; then finalize your needs statement, project goals, and objectives.
  •  Keep in mind that the needs statement must prove that it addresses funder interests as well as establish the specific problem the proposal will address.

Keep in mind that objectives must be specific and measurable and lead directly to your goals.

In 3–4 pages, excluding APA references, address the following:

  •  Write your Needs Statement. Substantiate the need by presenting proof of need. Keep in mind that the Needs Statement must reflect best practices in grant writing.
  •  Next, using bullets, list your goals, then your objectives, and finally your evaluation criteria for each one.

*Goal #1

*Goal #2

*Goal #3

*Objective 1

*Objective 2

*Objective 3

*Evaluation Criteria #1,n

*Evaluation Criteria #2,n

*Evaluation Criteria #3,n

It is imperative that your needs statement, goals, objectives, and evaluation criteria align.

For example, Goal #1, Objective #1, and Evaluation Criteria #1 must align and collectively meet the needs statement.

When developing your objectives, use the SMART objectives framework; list each of your project objectives.

  •  Project objectives must be specific.
  •  Project objectives must be measurable.
  •  Project objectives must be achievable.
  •  Project objectives must be realistic.
  •  Project objectives must be time-based.

) with other programs that run on a remote server. Google has several API’s available for developers (https://developers.google.com/) to query information from services google provides such as google map. We will be using the map API for purposes of finding distances between cities in the U.S known as Google Map Distance Matrix API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/). It is based on creating a query using the http protocol of the web. Essentially, you send a web address (with the query embedded in the web address) and a web page is returned with the requested information, albeit in a rather odd form (It is not HTML format).

The general form of a distance query is:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?parameters

where parameters denotes a series of parameters. The parameters we will use are:

·      origins: the origin city and state[1]

·      destinations: the destination city and state

·      sensor: false, which tells the server that your application does not use a GPS locator

·      mode: one of ‘driving’, ‘biking, or ‘walking’

There are no spaces in the query. Parameter assignments are separated using the ampersand (&) symbol and words in the city are separated using the plus (+) sign. 

Some examples are listed next. Copy and paste each one into a browser to see what is returned. Then in own examples to see how changing parameter values changes the response you get back. What happens, for instance, if you make up some city names and/or state abbreviations? What happens if there is not roadway between the origin and destination?

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=New+York+NY&destinations=Lansing+MI&mode=driving&sensor=false

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Lansing+MI&destinations=Sacramento+CA&mode=bicycling&sensor=false

Parsing the Result

As distance calculation is part of the map API, and not its own API, the entire result is returned as a single string, which must be parsed. The string returned by the first query above, which finds the driving distance between New York, NY and Lansing, MI, is as follows:

You will need to parse this string to extract the information required. You need to extract the value , which is the number of meters from Lansing to New York.

In testing queries, you should have discovered that the server “guesses” a location if it cannot exactly match the values indicated for the cities. Your program does not need to check that the response is for the correct location—just assume that the distance returned in a response is correct. But your program doesneed to handle the situation where the response does not contain a distance. (See below.)

Project Description / Specification

Create class called Tour. An instance of this class is to be instantiated with two US cities, and is used to fetch information from the web. Specifically, the class must define:

  1. __init__ The constructor takes two strings as arguments, each giving a city name and state abbreviation, indicating the origin and destination. For example: Tour(“New York, NY”, “Los Angeles, CA”)represents a tour that starts in New York city and ends in Los Angeles.
  2. distance This method takes a single (optional) argument indicating a mode – one of the strings ‘driving’ (default), ‘biking, or ‘walking’. It returns the total distance (in meters) covered by the tour for the indicated mode. This method is where you will use urllib functions to get data from the web to find the distances between two locations in the tour and calculate the total distance. If a response does not contain a distance value, the method should raise a ValueError exception.

Graphical User Interface Description:

Create class called TourGui. An instance of this class is to be instantiated in the main. Specifically the class must define:

1.    __init__ The constructor doesn’t take any arguments. The constructor creates two frames in the window, a top frame and buttom frame. The top frame contains a label and an entry widget for the following fields: origin, destination, and mode. The bottom frame contains a label and text widget for Distance and a button widget for Get Distnace. The GUI should like the following:

2.    onClick This method is the event handler for the Get Distance Button. When the button is clicked, the origin, destination and mode fields are read, the query is made and the distance between the origin and the destination is displayed. If the user enters an invalid mode, a message box shows up indicating invalid mode was entered:

If the distance was not found between the origin and the destination, a message box shows up indicating the distance was not found:

[1] The parameter names are plural because you can request a distance matrix, indicating distances between a set of potential origins and a set of potential destinations. However, we will just use a single city for each.
