1. What is Inclusive Teaching? 2. How do Personal Identity and Otherness work together? How do Personal Identify and Otherness work in isolation? 3. How do educator’s experiences affect inclusion? How will your personal biases affect your role as a teacher?

Your coursework consists of the following four tasks based on Cocoa-Delight case study and data supplied in moodle as resit course work data.
The Case Study
Rawchoc is a chocolate and bakery company based in the UK. They have been operating very successfully in the snacks industry for many years. Catering for consumers’ needs and demand is the key to their success and sustainability. They collect consumer data on a regular basis and analyse it to identify the growing trend in snacks consumption.
Recently they have identified that the British population is increasingly choosing healthier snacks with low sugar content. They have also established that this is strongly correlated with an Olympic spirit. To exploit this new trend Rawchoc is planning to launch a new product following the success of ‘Team GB’ at the Brazil Summer Olympics. Rawchoc’s innovation and product design team plan to market a chocolate bar for keeping weight under control, with average calories of 197 per unit.
Rawchoc has hired you for your analytical insights. Your job is to collate and analyse a range of data to recommend a competitive product for the healthy snack food market.
• For data see Excel file in “Resit Coursework” folder
Task 1: (30 Marks)
Using the food table in the dataset provided, prepare a list of alternative snacks i.e. direct competitors to the new product. You are required to:
1. Sort, list & format the dataset into appropriate categories related to food groups e.g. chocolate-based snacks, baked food, healthier snacks etc.
[10 marks]
2. Prepare appropriate graphs displaying & comparing calories, of the categories.
[5 marks]
3. Calculate summary statistics such as the mean, median and standard deviations of the categories.
[5 marks]
4. Give a brief critical discussion of the summary statistics from part 3.
[5 marks]
5. What advice would you give for weight-loss purposes – which snacks have to be chosen? Is the chocolate bar going to be competitive in the market?
[5 marks]
Task 2 (25 Marks)

Cardiff 3.00 72
Belfast 4.60 31
Portsmouth 3.10 55
Bristol 3.50 45

[5 marks]
2. Generate the scatterplot.
[4 marks]
3. Write the regression equation using the results of the excel table.
[5 marks]
4. Determine & interpret the slope and the intercept.
[6 marks]
5. Determine what percentage of the total variation in candy bar sales is explained by prices?
[5 marks]
*[Perform, using Excel, Data Analysis Pack, Regression function, the regression analysis.]
 
Task 3 (30 Marks)
A manager in RawChoc needs to determine the relationship between the company’s advertising expenditure and its sales revenue. If the relationship is a strong one, then the company will be able to forecast the sales revenue for a given advertising expenditure. The following data had been collected over the last nine years.

17.93 75.195
21.49 87.195
Using the table above answer the following questions:
1. Using sales as the dependent variable, conduct linear regression analysis*.
[5 marks]
2. Generate the scatterplot of the data
[5 marks]
3. Write the regression equation that best fits the data.
[5 marks]
4. Determine & interpret the slope and the intercept. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
[6 marks]
5. Using your analysis estimate the sales revenue when advertising is:
a. £12,000
b. £16,500
[5 marks]
6. Determine what percentage of the total variation in sales is explained by advertising expenditure?
[4 marks]
*[Perform, using Excel, Data Analysis Pack, Regression function, the regression analysis.]
 
Task 4 (15 Marks)
Write a summary report based on the results of the three tasks.
Guidelines for completing task:
You are to follow the procedures, techniques and Excel based & long hand formula taught in seminars to answer questions related to categorising, tabling, central tendency, variance and regression analysis calculations. You will also need to perform web-based research to identify sugar content of chocolate-based snacks item. Theories delivered in lectures will help you to answer descriptive questions. If you need further support please contact your seminar tutors.

For this assignment, you will begin researching target markets and competitive advantage and complete a two-page essay, written in standard APA formatting. Choose one or two well-known brands and describe and discuss their target market(s), as well as how they established a competitive advantage in their marketplace.

Family Involvement Plan: This portion of the project focuses on the generation of two reports. The first report will establish ways to assist the family in developing or maintaining a high and comfortable level of involvement in their current early childhood care/education setting. The second report will create a school/childcare plan that promotes additional involvement opportunities for all families involved in the setting. You will use your Family Interview report to assist you in developing these two plans. Each plan is to be three -five pages and provide detailed and descriptive information that specifies what the family should do and what the child care/education setting should do for all families. The purpose of both reports is to use the strategies learned in your course readings and from the interview to create an applied project that assists families and child care settings alike.

Connecting Families with Resources Overview For this research paper, students are responsible for locating and reviewing a journal article that addresses the specific topic identified. Students will utilize appropriate academic resources to review and research the area and its impact on children, families, and the community. A three page written summary of the selected article with appropriate references is to be submitted for this research paper. Each summary will include the full citation of the research paper, an analysis of the research paper, and your personal reflection based on your professional experience. This assignment should be written in APA format with a title page. Students are expected to select articles from professional journals such as Early Childhood Research Quarterly, Journal of Research in Childhood Education, Young Child, Teacher Education, etc.
