While reading this article I saw multiple parallels between it and the TED talk we watched during class. They both discuss the successes of putting profit back into programs to help the organization grow. The article mentions the four management basics that would help boost nonprofit productivity; then they outline how each of the three example nonprofits relate to the points. The four items are,
- Standardize best practices
- Invest in essential staff and processes/activities
- manage costs (aggressively)
- measure progress
Then the difference between output and outcome are explained; output is the amount of work a nonprofit does, quantity of the programs or services it delivers and outcome are the results of the nonprofit's work, the benefits for participants during or after their involvement with the organization. These terms connect to the idea of success rate which is the amount of outputs that become outcomes.
Disability Etiquette
I found this reading's topic interesting. While I found much of the content to be common sense, I am happy to see that a document like this exists for those with questions or concerns. I realized I may know more about some of these topics than others because of volunteering in Special Education classrooms for over seven years. I was able to pull out a view points I found helpful. Including
- saying "person with a disability" not "disabled person" (I do not run into this in the classroom because I know the children's names)
- rephrase instead of repeating the phrase for those that are hard of hearing
- TTY- teletypewriter
- VRS- video relay service
