For this Assignment, you write a proposal for some form of social advocacy that will seek to change a social, organizational, or legislative policy. The proposal may also involve advocacy

Writing a proposal that functions as a focus of change is a significant part of being a social worker and policy advocate. The proposal is your opportunity to use your advocacy skills to change and improve the lives of others by influencing decision makers.

For this Assignment, you write a proposal for some form of social advocacy that will seek to change a social, organizational, or legislative policy. The proposal may also involve advocacy for the amelioration of a social problem. The purpose of this assignment is to thoughtfully and thoroughly plan how you will advocate for changing a social problem or policy that is of interest to you. The policy and advocacy practice can take whatever form you wish and can be on one or more of the following levels: agency, community, or state.

 

To Prepare: Read Chapter 8 of the Jansson text.  Selected at least five sources to support your advocacy proposal. The sources may be related to specific consequences of the social problem, issues related to the policy, or steps for advocacy.

By Day 7 Submit a 2- to 3- proposal that addresses the following:

Provide a brief synopsis of the social problem you selected in Week 2.  Provide a brief synopsis of the policy you selected in Week 4.  Explain your selection of a policy—why, as a policy advocate, did you select this specific policy to promote change regarding the social problem?   Identify the person or group who enacted the policy and explain their motivation or reason for advocating for this policy. How does the reason differ from your own advocacy and change goals?  Describe the ways in which the policy impacts the populations and discuss the consequences—intended and unintended. Hint : Build on your answer to the following part of your Week 4 Assignment:  Explain how this policy affects clients you might see in a clinical setting and why, as a clinical social worker, it would be important to advocate for change. Describe your initial work to change the policy (i.e., plan for social advocacy).  Be sure to incorporate the sources you found using standard APA format.

Imagine that Lynette follows up with you shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration. Her e-mail says the following: Thanks for sending me your thoughts last week on the diversity issue at the clinic.

Assignment 2

Imagine that Lynette follows up with you shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration. Her e-mail says the following:

Thanks for sending me your thoughts last week on the diversity issue at the clinic. Your next step is to select professionals who can help you in this project. Then you need to prepare an introduction to the project for a first meeting with them.

I want you to prepare a presentation to serve as a brief (but packed) introduction for your first meeting with a group of 4–5 members that will constitute the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. I will review your presentation (where you identify the characteristics that you are looking for in group members) to help recruit them for you. The presentation should use 6–8 slides with detailed speaker’s notes so I can understand your approach. There’s not a lot of time or space, so keep things pretty high level. Do the following:

1.     Briefly outline the project goals as you see them, and highlight a couple of the initial priorities to be addressed by the group and explain why they are important.

2.     Explain the composition of the team and why you chose them. Note that you will not know the exact individuals, but assume we will get you the people with the qualities and characteristics you outline in the presentation. Consider the following:

a.      They will need to be a group of professionals you believe can help you define the problem and ultimately make recommendations on how to address it.

b.     Each member needs to be either trained in, be sensitive to, or have experience with the concept of workplace diversity.

c.      Give some thought to having some members from outside the organization.

d.     Provide member profiles: diversity, qualifications, experience, internal versus external, et cetera.

3.     Explain your role and describe how the group will work together and achieve effective interprofessional collaboration.

a.      Describe how the group will communicate. How and when will they meet?

b.     How will ideas be shared and how will decisions be made?

c.      What are roles, group functions, and structure?

4.     Describe the basic characteristics of a diverse workplace.

5.     Provide a convincing argument regarding the benefits of a diverse workforce using support from current research.

You are newly hired victim/witness advocate interviewing a male victim of domestic violence. This requires sensitivity, yet you have a job to do: assess the victim’s readiness for and willingness to participate in the court process.

 

CJ 140 Project Three Guidelines and Rubric

Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

  • Apply interviewing types and techniques to collect information

Scenario

You are newly hired victim/witness advocate interviewing a male victim of domestic violence. This requires sensitivity, yet you have a job to do: assess the victim’s readiness for and willingness to participate in the court process. Because you are new to your job, your supervisor would like you to describe your strategy for this interview before you go into the field.

Directions

First, read the Project Three Scenario PDF. Then complete each of the following:

Strategy Part 1: Interview Purpose

To begin your interview strategy, in about one paragraph, describe the purpose and context of the interview. Answer the following questions in your description:

  • Why are you interviewing this person?
  • Why do you need this information?
  • What information do you need to provide to this person?

Strategy Part 2: Setting

Next, explain how the setting impacts an interview. In 250–300 words, answer the following:

  • What is the impact of the overall setting on the interviewee (the person being interviewed)?
  • What is the impact of the overall setting on the interviewer (the person conducting the interview)?

Strategy Part 3: Techniques and Strategies

Next, describe the effectiveness of interview techniques and strategies. In 250–300 words, answer the following:

  • Does your interviewee feel “free to leave”? Why or why not?
  • What type of body language will you use? Why?
  • What tone of voice will you use? Why?

Strategy Part 4: Question Types

Next, predict which question types will be the most helpful to gather necessary information. There are seven question types: reflective, directive, pointed, indirect, self-appraisal, diversion, and leading. Answer the following questions as you consider these question types:

  • What information do you need in this interview?
  • Which types of questions will help you gain the information you need?
  • Are there any question types that will be more useful to gain the information you need than others? Why?
  • Are there any question types that will be less useful to gain the information you need than others? Why?
  • What are some pitfalls you will want to avoid in creating your questions?

Strategy Part 5: Questions

Finally, to make sure you are fully prepared to conduct this interview, you will need to develop various types of interview questions that will help you gather the information you need.

Note: While preparing questions in advance is a good strategy for any interview situation, you will often have to adjust your questions based on the responses you get from your subject.

Using the information provided in the scenario, complete the following:

  • Create 5–10 interview questions.
  • Identify which question type you are creating.
    (Hint: You may wish to present your question types and questions as follows: Diversion question: “How long have you lived in the area?”)

The foundation of many states’ science standards is built on the three dimensions of science learning including core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. Each dimension works together

The foundation of many states’ science standards is built on the three dimensions of science learning including core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. Each dimension works together to support students in building a deeper understanding of science concepts and real-world applications of those concepts. The three dimensions allow students to learn how to think and act like scientists and engineers, while also actively engaging them in science. When teaching science, it is important to engage students with hands-on activities for them to best understand the concepts being taught.

Part 1:

Create a 12 slide digital professional development presentation for new teachers to train them on the foundations of science instruction.  Include the following in your presentation:

Explain the three dimensions of science learning, including discussion on the scientific and engineering practices, the crosscutting concepts, and the disciplinary core ideas. Describe the purpose of three-dimensional learning in science instruction. Explain how using phenomena and inquiry-based learning supports science instruction, science standards, and the three dimensions of science learning.   Provide 2-3 best practices in science instruction and an example of how each practice could support three-dimensional learning in science instruction and critical questioning skills. Explain how educators can incorporate cross-curricular content into science instruction. Discuss how technology enhances science instruction. Provide at least two examples of technological tools that can be used as an integral part of science instruction and one example of how teachers can collaborate and co-learn with students to discover and use new digital resources and tools during science instruction.

Presentation must include a title slide at the beginning and a reference slide with documentation of resources at the end. The title slide and reference slide are not included in the total number of slides.

Support your presentation with 2-3 scholarly resources
