Assignment Overview

Students will read the required chapters for the week before responding to this discussion board. After the chapters have been reviewed, students will develop a 3-slide PowerPoint that highlights what they feel were the most important aspects of each chapter (1 slide per chapter). Content in the slide should be brief (bullet points or short sentences). The discussion board post will also include a 3-paragraph explanation of why the content was selected for each slide. Why was the information selected important to you? What were your key areas of learning for each chapter? What additional information or questions do you have about working with these specialty populations or in private practice?

Some of the specialty population I am interested in working in is with trauma, children/adolescents, families, military/veterans and private practice treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress.

This assignment is for my Community Psychology class. I have attached the milestones needed for this project. Message me if you need more information.

Submit a complete, polished community psychology professional blueprint that incorporates revised content from the project milestones along with additional content on systems thinking, your role in the system, and a topic of your choice.

The blueprint should address all of the topics and questions outlined in the Final Project Document.

Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a professional blueprint for your work in the field of community psychology (CP). The blueprint is a professional statement that provides a foundation and framework for professional growth in a body of knowledge and practice that is evolving and changing. The blueprint combines knowledgewhat you will learn about CPwith your professional goals, insights, beliefs, and practices. This framework will help guide your work in fostering strong communities.

The project is divided into two milestones that scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final submission is in Module Seven.

This project will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:

• Evaluate the central concepts of community psychology to determine the relevant and applied nature of the concepts to professional practice
• Illustrate the connections between social issues and community support systems with the creation of policies and interventions for individual and community development
• Engage in research to promote theories for social change that are applicable and beneficial to the community
• Apply the concepts of community psychology to real-world scenarios based on an analysis

Prompt

The professional blueprint is a structured paper that includes a number of specific elements that link your expanding knowledge of CP with your professional goals and interests. The blueprint should synthesize the lectures, assigned resources, annotated bibliography articles, and additional resources into a framework for your professional growth in the field.

Note: You will be creating an annotated bibliography throughout the course modules. The work you do in each of the modules should directly relate to this project. You should use the resources that you collect in your annotated bibliography to inform your project.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Goals
2. Write a brief, one-page statement explaining your professional goals and career interests, particularly as they relate to CP.
3. Overview
4. Write a two-page response to the following questions:
5. What is CP?

10. What conditions or issues in CP are most pertinent to your professional goals and career interests?
11. How will CP add to your understanding of how to respond to these conditions or issues?

13. Write a two-page response that explains your vision for the future of CP. Include specific examples to illustrate key points.
14. Key Concepts
15. Write a two-page response that identifies and analyzes at least five key concepts in CP. Reference course resources, articles, and professional experience as appropriate.
16. Stakeholder Perceptions
17. Write a two-page response to the following questions:
18. Are the concepts identified readily agreed upon or contentious?
19. How are the concepts understood by different stakeholder groups (police, educators, business owners, taxpayers, and so on) in the community? Provide specific examples to support your position.

21. Write a two-page response to the following questions:
22. As a systems thinker, how do various agencies and their goals interact in the community? Pick two agencies and demonstrate how their goals, missions, and outcomes support the community.
23. Does your community have any interagency associations that coordinate planning and social change efforts? For example, does the community have a human service association such as United Way? (These efforts may deal with prevention, crisis response, building community resilience, and so on.)
24. Your Role in the System
25. Write a two-page response to the following questions:
26. In your current role, what system are you part of?
27. What specific ideas and issues drive that system? (Example: the benefits of elder day-care services or of youth diversion courts.)

• What is this article specifically addressing?
• How does this article related to your selected topic?
• Did the article contain research? Provide a summary of the research that was discussed, as applicable.
• If applicable: What data was used? What instruments, if any, were used to collect data?

What to Submit

Written components of projects must follow these formatting guidelines when applicable: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations.

As part of your experience for this course, you will arrange an interview and observation of subjects from two separate age periods. You will select one subject from two of the following age groups: toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescent years.

In your final paper you will summarize both interviews and observations as well as compare both age groups.

You will begin in this unit by formulating 5 interview questions that you will ask to both of your subjects.

You will submit your questions for review and consideration. The document should include the age groups of your subjects. Protecting your subject’s identity is crucial, therefore create coded names/labels for the subject (eg, Subject Y) and do not indicate if you have a specific connection to the subject (eg, your niece).

Note: The purpose of the questions should be to identify and confirm the cognitive stage of the childs development. For example, asking a 4 year old about Santa Claus–the response should confirm where they are in their cognitive understanding of this mythical creature.

Guidelines

1. Use a 12-point font.
2. Use double spacing, so there is room for me to write comments.
