assignment two APA 7 must complete part A and Part B must be Australian Career Development Programs Assignment 2: Discussion paper and program Word limit: 3000 words (+/- 10%) After you have read this information, head over to the Assignment 2 Q&A discussion board to ask any questions and see what your peers are saying about this assignment.

You will also develop and submit an original CED program overview designed for a specific cohort in your context, as well as one sample lesson plan from this program. You will use GenAI to support the development of your program. This assignment supports unit learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4. The directions for generative AI use for learning and assessment in EUQ672 reinforce the importance of disciplined, authentic engagement and critical evaluation of academic literature, ensuring that your work accurately represents your learning, capability, and professional development. * * * * * * * * * * * * * You must clearly acknowledge and appropriately reference any AI-generated content following the guidance in Cite | Write (APA, Harvard, AGLC or Vancouver). You may be asked to demonstrate authorship of your assessment. Find out more on keeping good records to authenticate authorship. Assignment details This assignment has two elements: * Part A: Discussion paper * Part B: Program overview and lesson plan. In Part A, you will explain the choices you have made for your program and why you have made these choices. In Part B, you will provide an overview of the actual program and a sample lesson plan from the program. You will include a brief rationale within the program overview for Part B. EUQ672 Assignment 2 Template (DOCX 41 KB)outlines the suggested structure for Part A and Part B and includes a program overview and lesson plan table template. It also includes the templates for Appendix A and Appendix B. You will submit both parts as a single Word document using the provided template. Part A: Discussion paper (2000 words) Write a discussion paper that outlines the CED program you have designed for a specific cohort. Discuss key elements of this program including the following: * curriculum framework * theoretical underpinnings and learning approach * teaching content (inclusive of topics, strategies, activities and resources. * assessment and evaluation strategy (use the Assessment and evaluation planning template (DOCX 38 KB) you developed in 6.5 Activity: Program assessment and evaluation to assist you with this element). Your discussion paper must be based on and make reference to empirical research. It should include subheadings and be written in the third person. Note: The APA7 guidelines (2020, p.47) say “Because the first paragraphs of a paper are understood to be introductory, the heading ‘Introduction’ is not needed. Do not begin a paper with an ‘Introduction’ heading; the paper title at the top of the first page acts as a de facto Level 1 heading” As with Assignment 1: Program proposal Presentation you must include your organisations mission/goals/values for the marker’s reference. Part B: Program overview and lesson plan (1000 words) In Part B you need to include two major elements: 1. Program overview: an overview of the CED program you have created for a specific cohort in your context. (An overview only is required. This will not have all of the detail of a full program). Expand the following heading to learn more about indicating resources in your program overview: 1. Lesson plan: one fully developed sample lesson/session plan as representative of those you would deliver within this program. Your program must be on career development rather than professional development. Take note Use the template provided to submit Part A and Part B as a single Word document. Use the program overview and lesson plan tables provided in the template and bullet points to assist in keeping to the word limit. If you use AI tools for this assessment, you must include an appendix in your final submission. Use the Appendix A and B templates as a suggested outline for this. The reference list is not included in the word count. Important to note: * Your program overview and lesson plan may be presented in table format. * Your program must have a specific careers focus. * Your program should not be a modified version of an existing program but be an original program * Your program should not be developed in collaboration with work colleagues (this is an individual project) * Your program does not need learning intentions and success criteria for every lesson. * Key points only.

I would like to acknowledge receipt of your email and express my understanding of your dissatisfaction related to my punctuality, overtime hours, and the status of several unfinished projects. I appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with me. I would like to clarify a few points mentioned in your message. While I understand that I have been late on a small number of occasions, I have made a consistent effort to maintain my responsibilities and meet performance targets throughout the past year. Additionally, the overtime hours referenced in your email were completed with prior approval, as they were necessary to support departmental objectives and ensure timely completion of ongoing assignments. Regarding the unfinished projects you mentioned, there are currently two that remain incomplete; however, both have been placed on hold at the request of our clients and are awaiting further direction before work can continue. Moving forward, I will make a greater effort to improve my time management and ensure punctuality to avoid any future concerns. I will also continue to monitor my workload closely in order to minimize the need for overtime and ensure that all projects remain on schedule whenever possible. I am committed to maintaining productivity and meeting expectations in all areas of my role. I welcome any additional feedback or suggestions you may have regarding how I can further improve my performance or address these concerns more effectively. Your guidance is valuable to me as I continue working toward meeting both personal and organizational goals. Thank you again for your feedback. I look forward to continuing to contribute positively to the team and maintaining a productive and professional working relationship. Sincerely, Christopher Boyadjian
