I HAVE INCLUDED A UPLOAD OF MY WEEK 3 PAPER FOR CONTEXT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Preparation
In this assignment, you will develop a narrated presentation or presentation with an accompanying scriipt in which you assess community and organizational conditions related to the population group and condition you identified in the Week 3 assignment. To prepare for developing your presentation, you must complete the three identified tasks.
Task 1: Gather Information.
Gather information from persons within the community or organization. Engage with at least five organizational and community members who (1) have direct lived experience as members of the population group, (2) are impacted by the identified condition, and (3) have (or have had) interactions with the organization or community. Find out how they view the situation, their thoughts about the condition, and any historical and contextual information they may have about the situation/condition. In your presentation, you will be asked to develop a condition statement that includes (1) a focal population, (2) a boundary, and (3) the difficulty facing the population (Netting et al., 2023, p. 302).
Task 2: Explore Professional Knowledge Base.
Locate peer-reviewed articles and explore frameworks, theories, and perspectives that will be useful for understanding the condition, opportunity, need, or problem. You will need a minimum of 12 sources to support your presentation. From the literature, you will choose at least one practice approach to further discuss.
Task 3: Identify Conditions That Need to Change.
Compare what you find in the literature to what you found when engaging with the community members. What causal factors can you identify?
Task 4: Consider Your Own Bias.
Take time to consider your own position and reflect on at least one implicit and one explicit bias you hold regarding the population and condition. How might this bias impact your ability to effectively collaborate in a successful macro-level change event?
