    Instructions Milestone Assessment Milestone Module 2: CLO 4: Students will be able to discuss the skills that are needed to engage in effective counseling. Create a PowerPoint outlining the characteristics and attributes you find most important in a counselor and why. Create from 25 to 40 substantive slides, you will include a title slide and reference slide, and include a speaker notes to support cohesiveness and flow. Use these basic initial interview questions (Please use solid boundaries and only disclose what is comfortable- if nothing is comfortable feel free to create fictitious answers, which you MAY want to use in your final assessment product). 1. Describe some of your strengths. 2. Describe some of your challenges. 3. If you had three wishes: what in your life would you change? 4. Where do you see yourself in five years? 5. Describe a typical day for you. Include: What you think the personal characteristics of an effective counselor are AND do you have them? Explain, define, describe, and give examples as needed. Additionally, please share why you believe people go to counseling/what the counselors role in this is. Use the core values examples and identify/explain ten of your core values and how these values impact your beliefs, expectations, and/or goals. Use this resource to follow APA formatting for this assignment: APA PowerPoint Slide Presentation – Purdue OWL – Purdue University ** At least FIVE of your slides should address the graphic below. Use this Multicultural and Social Justice Praxis graphic and pose a counselor/client dynamic for each of the four quadrants (privileged/marginalized/counselor/client). Within the dynamic, address the layers in the quadrants, and pose some ways the counselor can ask questions/respond/engage in a culturally competent manner. Use the research and outline competencies and qualities of the person and professional required in this field. For example: 1 Quadrant: Give a concrete example of a Marginalized Counselor and a Privileged Client – explaining Counselor Self-Awareness needs, describing Clients Worldview [given the example you choose], aspects of the Counseling Relationship that may need attention, and give examples of counseling and advocacy interventions-given the assumptions of action-skills-knowledge-attitudes-beliefs. This part is totally creative- and asks you to conceptualize the possible situations with which we may be faced in this work. Use and search out resources to complete.

    Two Step process. First is due February 22nd.

    For this Media Proposal assignment, students must submit a two paragraph summary, describing the proposed specific example of substance use portrayal in the media for use in the Major Paper. Students will have an easier time completing this assignment if Step 1 is completed first.

    Then the major paper is due 22March.

    This assignment meets the following Course Learning Objectives:

    Articulate basic drug terminology and drug taking behavior

    Identify the various addictive substances legal and illegal and their classifications

    Analyze the reasons people commonly abuse substances

    Analyze how substances affect the mind and body and society

    In 2010, The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a policy statement addressing the complex relationships among children, adolescents, substance abuse, and the media. This assignment requires a critical examination of the AAP publication and a critique of a media portrayal of substance use, with links made to the AAP statement and course material. Conclusions about the implications of the media portrayals and the policies recommended by the AAP also should be made. Successful completion of this paper will require work over multiple weeks. A two paragraph summary of the proposed example of substance use portrayal in the media was due by the end of Week 3. The full paper is due at the end of Week 7.

    This assignment proceeds in four steps:

    Preparation

    Step One: Read the AAP Policy Statement located below. Make some notes for yourself about points of agreement or disagreement you have with the statement and specific findings regarding media depictions of substance use that you want to assess when you write the paper.

    Step Two: Find a current example of substance use portrayal seen in the media; for example, scenes from a movie, a television show, or a commercial; print ads; or portrayals found in “new media” as discussed in the AAP article. The Internet is a good tool for finding film or television portrayals of substance use as well as examples of print ads if ready access to first-hand media is not available. A two paragraph summary of the proposed example of substance use portrayal in the media that will be used for the paper is due by the end of Week 3. This proposal is a separate assignment and is worth 100 points and 5% of the overall course grade.

    Construction

    Step Three: Write the paper. Begin the paper with an introduction that summarizes the main findings of the AAP article and previews what will be covered in the coming pages. Next, compare and contrast the portrayal of substance use found in the media with the information learned about that substance in the class and course readings. What messages about the substance are being portrayed? How accurate are those messages relative to the actual data on substance use? Be sure to cite the course readings as needed.

    Continue by comparing and contrasting the portrayal of substance use found in the media with the criticism of media portrayals found in the AAP paper. Does the media example match their arguments or contradict them? What links and connections can be made? Be sure to cite the article as needed.

    Next, draw some conclusions about the portrayal of substance use found in the media, addressing the following: What are the implications of this type of portrayal? What messages are being sent and to whom? Are those messages an accurate representation of the use of this substance? Should media portrayals be required to be accurate in their depictions of use, showing both positive and negative consequences?

    Finally, review the guidelines suggested by the AAP at the end of their policy statement and address the following: Although directed specifically at pediatricians, which of those recommendations is most important? Why? Are these recommendations necessary? If followed, will they be effective in addressing the concerns raised earlier in the article? Be sure to cite sources as needed.

    Step Four:

    The required length of this paper is 11 pages, plus a required a cover page and a reference list. Papers must comply with APA formatting rules, including font size and margins, and must have a scholarly focus and tone. Quoting of published material and use of the first-person “I” are not permitted and will result in point loss. All source material must be paraphrased into your own words and cited appropriately.
