Community Assessment and Intervention Plan-Part Two: Applying theories in assesing the social issue relating to the community of focus 40% Due Date: March 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Length: 6-8 double-spaced using APA 7th ed. format Description & Rationale: This assignment will be an opportunity for students to apply theory and skills covered in the Community Toolbox modules. The assignment builds on the previous assignment allowing for a deeper engagement and application of theory and skills covered so far. Instructions: Using the social issue chosen for the Community Assessment and Intervention Plan Assignment (Part One), students will draw upon Anti-Oppressive theory and two other theoretical frameworks to assess the social issue as it relates to the community of focus. Students should identify problems facing the community including contributing and compounding factors. Students will then provide an assessment of the community needs and resources before developing at least three goals for change. Students should also identify and discuss a model or framework for creating that change. The content of the assignment will draw upon materials and templates used in the community toolbox modules. Students should use a minimum of five sources with at least two being peer-reviewed journals The structure of the assignment will be discussed further in class. Detailed instructions: 1. Use the Same Social Issue from Part One. (I choose loss of culture and language in Saskatchewan reservations). Not so wordy. Write as a :rd yr social work student cree man. You must continue working with the social issue and community that you already selected for the Community Assessment and Intervention Plan 2. Apply Three Theoretical Frameworks You must analyze the issue using: Anti-Oppressive Theory (Required) PLUS Two additional theories (for example): * Systems Theory * Ecological Model * Feminist Theory * Critical Theory * Strengths-Based Approach * Post-colonial Theory Theories help explain why the problem exists and how power, inequality, and structures affect the community. Example: * Anti-Oppressive examines discrimination, marginalization, systemic barriers * Ecological looks at family, school, policy, and social environment * Systems focuses on how institutions interact 3. Identify the Problems Facing the Community Describe the key challenges experienced by the population. Ask yourself: * Who is affected? * What are they experiencing? * How serious is the issue? Then explain: Contributing factors things that cause the problem Examples: * Poverty * Stigma * Lack of services * Language barriers Compounding factors things that make the problem worse Examples: * Racism * Policy gaps * Transportation barriers * Cultural misunderstandings 4. Assess Community Needs AND Resources** This is very important do not focus only on deficits. Community Needs: * What is missing? * What support is required? * What services should exist but dont? Community Resources: * Existing programs * Community organizations * Informal supports (families, cultural groups) * Schools, clinics, advocacy groups 5. Develop At Least Three Goals for Change Goals should describe what improvement would look like. You can use the SMART frameworkif helpful: * Specific * Measurable * Achievable * Relevant * Time-bound 6. Identify a Model or Framework for Change Now explain HOW change will happen. You might choose models such as: * Community Development Model * Social Action Model * Collective Impact * Empowerment Model * Policy Advocacy Framework * Community Toolbox strategies 7. Use the Community Toolbox Your professor expects you to integrate concepts from the Community Toolbox modules, which often include: * Community assessment * Stakeholder engagement * Planning interventions * Building partnerships * Evaluating outcomes You do NOT need to explain the entire toolbox just apply relevant tools. 8. Use At Least Five Academic Sources Requirements: Minimum 5 sources, at least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles Good sources include: * Academic journals * Government reports * WHO / CDC * Scholarly books Suggested Paper Structure 1. Introduction – Introduce the social issue and community – State why it matters 2. Theoretical Framework – Briefly explain Anti-Oppressive + two theorie – Apply them to the issue 3. Problems and Contributing Factors 4. Community Needs and Resources 5. Goals for Change 6. Model for Creating Change 7. Conclusion

Art-based centers are inviting, self-contained spaces where children engage in creative activities, and are appropriate for every child. Each requires a clear purpose, a range of materials and activities, and a means of assessment or evaluation. While centers must take into account individual needs, interests, and levels of learning, there are unique considerations for children at different ages. As an early childhood teacher, put on your centers-based thinking cap to complete the follow parts of this assignment. You will want to refer back to Lesson 7 for support and guidance. Part 1: Summarize how arts-based centers nurture childrens creative expression. Part 2: Discuss how teachers must adapt arts-based centers for different age levels from toddlers to fourth graders. Part 3: Discuss techniques teachers can use to manage a center-based environment in the creative classroom.
