Police Officer or Social Worker

Jack and Ann Smith are a married couple with three children rang- ing in age from five months to six years. Jack is unemployed and is 60 percent disabled from a wound he received in Vietnam. Ann has to provide primary care for the children and also has a part-time job at a nearby grocery store. Jack and Ann live in a housing project where the rent is based on the government welfare checks they receive. It is near the end of the month and the food stamps have almost been depleted. Jack spent what little money they had left on beer for himself and his friends. Over the years, Jack has continued to feel bitter about his disability and apparently tries to drown his prob- lems with alcohol. Jack and Ann had an argument earlier in the day over the amount of money Jack spends on beer and wine. Ann was also becoming increasingly upset over Jack frequenting bars and not trying to help with household responsibilities and chores. Ann even accused Jack of feeling sorry for himself and of being a failure in general. Jack responded by slapping Ann several times and leaving the house in a fit of temper.

Police Officer or Social Worker

While Jack was gone, the two eldest children began fighting with each other, which resulted in the youngest child crying. Although Ann had carefully cleaned the apartment the day before, the children had again made a mess of the house. Her patience wearing thin, Ann rocked the youngest child in a rocking chair in an effort to stop his crying. After substantial threats from their mother, the two oldest children started playing in the kitchen and eventually broke several dishes that were on the table. That was the last straw! Ann began whipping the oldest child for breaking the dishes. Full of anger and frustration, she whipped the child so hard that he fainted and was apparently unconscious. Jack came back to the apartment a short time later, intoxicated and still upset over the argument in which he and Ann had engaged earlier. He found the younger children crying, the oldest child badly beaten, and Ann sitting in a kitchen chair sobbing. In a fit of rage, Jack began beating Ann. The next-door-neighbor, aware of what was happening, called the police and explained the situation.

Police Officer or Social Worker

You are a patrol officer assigned to the call. Your partner is a female officer with little police experience. Not knowing for sure what the situation is, you do not call for a backup car. In your opinion, at this point, it is a routine family disturbance call. As you stand outside the Smiths’ apartment door, you hear children sobbing. No one answers the door or speaks to you when you knock. You think to yourself, “These people need a social worker, not a police officer.” Your partner looks at you, uncertain and waiting for instructions. You take a deep breath and try to decide what the best course of action will be. Use APA referencing style.

Based on what you have read, answer the following questions:

  1. What can you and your partner legally do?
  2. Should the police become involved in these types of situations? Discuss potential legal issues?
  3. What agencies other than the police could help in this situation?

Volkswagen Crisis Project Management

 am not sure if you all remember the Volkswagen crisis, but it was huge.  A lot of the discussion indicated a lot of the problems/issues could have been caught, however, they weren’t due to many reasons.  Based on the knowledge, methods, and ideas you have learned this semester, discuss some of the project management changes you would have made internally and externally that might have changed the outcome of the crisis, especially when you consider every product had to have been a project.  Be detailed and specific.  Use outside resources and other news facts to contradict or support the articles and news reports, especially if there is more recent information to help support your decisions.  Remember, leadership is also a big component in the effort to avoid or minimize a crisis.  Communications (written, oratory, digital, etc…) also play a crucial role.  Stakeholder expectations in a crisis seem to be an issue when you consider shareholders and customers.  There are many more items of concern that seem to be wrong with Volkswagen, so you will have plenty to discuss. I also want you to make suggestions to the CEO about what you think should be changed, added, reworked, or created to prevent this type of crisis from happening again.  Keep in mind as Project Managers we see a lot and have a considerable amount of influence.  Just remember to back up your opinions/assertions with facts.  Lastly, APA is important too. Your submission should be in the range of 7 pages not including the first page and the reference page.

By the end of this assignment, you will be able to:

  • Construct an appropriate research paper.
  • Organize a logical, comprehensive analysis in your paper and potential solution to the main issue.
  • Utilize (correctly) an appropriate number of relevant outside sources for your research paper.

Knowledge Development: Your research paper will analyze (explain) the specific issue you chose from your topic. This will include a specific thesis (argument) and original solution of your own or substantial update of an existing one, per the instructions and the Checklist/Rubric in the Canvas module.

Afro-American Family Assignment

Paper Topics:

  1. Choose ONE.
  2. Do NOT try to cover the entire topic. Fewer points if you do.

Specific Issue: 

Then pick ONE specific issue to focus on.

  1. Your issue should be related to African American familiesin some clearly identifiable way.
  2. You can also compare to a similar group such as Latinx, gendered or immigrant but then you must have two separate sets of sources, quotes, word definitions; cannot re-use one for both groups. Fewer points if you do.

Example of a thesis statement for a specific issue with a specific proposed solution:

Topic-Education

Specific Issue: Free breakfast programs in the Los Angeles Unified School District

Thesis Statement – In many schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), free breakfasts are provided for students. But items such as cows milk are often included. Frequently, African American, Latinx and other students of color are lactose intolerant. Currently, students and/or parents must inform the school’s Food Service Manager if they want to request a substitute beverage. But many parents are not knowledgeable about the possible substitutes and/or may have trouble filling out forms, if English is not their first language. Therefore, the breakfast programs should be updated so that on school counseling days, the form could be offered to parents and explained right there.

Afro-American Family Assignment

ELEMENTS OF THE PAPER (12):

  • TOPIC–Select your topic.
  • PICK A SPECIFIC ISSUE–Narrow it down to a specific issue from that overall topic.

  • INTRODUCTION–Provide a brief general overview of the issue. (No quotes should be here.)
  • THESIS STATEMENT –Should be the last one or two sentences at the end of the introduction, NOT in the body of the paper. (Other professors may have different instructions for their thesis statement requirements.)
    1. For this course, the thesis statement (your argument) should be in TWO parts:
      1. Brief statement of the problem or opportunity. (For this course, phrase it as a statement, even though, if using APA, you may begin this project with a research question.)
      2. Brief statement of your specific original solution or what you built substantially and specifically on from an existing solution.

Afro-American Family Assignment

Justice Delayed or Justice Denied

Case Study

Though it is highly unlikely that the Supreme Court ever gives a flat mandate for what constitutes a “speedy” trial, this has not stopped some states and jurisdictions from requiring certain timelines to be met. For example, some states require that arraignments are held within the first 48 hours, but others do not have such standards. The only federal-level mandate is the 1974 Speedy Trial Act, which requires that indictment occur within 30 days of arrest, and 70 days from indictment to trial. However, this does not and has not stopped defendants from requesting continuances for multiple reasons, which create delays. There is no consensus on what constitutes a “speedy” trial with these additional delays factored in, leading some to conclude, “justice delayed, justice denied.”

Questions for Discussion

  1. If you were to designate or enforce certain ranges and deadlines to avoid unnecessary delay, what would they be?
  2. Would they vary by crime? By offender? Any extrajudicial factors?
  3. Should courts be incentivized to process cases more quickly?
  4. What advantages would this have? What would such a process look like?

Infant & Toddler Setting

Overview

During this Performance Task, you will participate in a field experience in either an infant or a toddler setting. You will first meet with your Host Teacher to explain the Assessment and discuss considerations of developing a respectful, supportive, and challenging experience with a child or small group of children in her/his class.

You will then develop and implement these experiences and conclude the Assessment by gathering feedback from your Host Teacher on your experience with the child or children and engaging in your own reflection on these experiences.

Professional Skills: Written Communication and Applied and Collaborative Learning are assessed in this Competency.

This Assessment requires a submission of two files:

  • Infant or Toddler Experience: Planning Template
  • Infant or Toddler Experience: Student Reflection

Infant & Toddler Setting

Instructions

Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This is the same rubric the assessor will use to evaluate your submission and it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and use their time most productively.

Note: For this Written-Response Assessment, you are required to draw from not only the resources for the Topics but also your experiences, observations, and host teacher and other professionals who work in your field setting. Your conversations with these professionals and your observations in the setting are essential to the successful completion of the Assessment. As part of this assessment, after you have concluded your field activities, you will need to meet with you Host Teacher to fill out your final evaluation and submit it along with your assessment. For additional information regarding the  field experience requirements and expectations, please review the BSECS  Field Experience Handbook found on the BSECS Field Experience Website.

Access the following to complete this Assessment:

Developing Experiences with Infants and Toddlers

“The adult’s role is not to teach, but to observe and reflect on what infants/toddlers are experiencing and how they learn — and then to support the process through interactions, their relationship with the child, and provision of experiences in an environment that contributes to the child’s success”. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010)

What do you want to discover with infants or explore with toddlers?  How do you want to participate in fostering their growth and development? How can you let children take the lead, building on their interests, and sometimes modifying your plans in order to truly partner in their development and learning? In this Competency Assessment, you will develop and implement a respectful, supportive, and challenging experience with very young children—in an infant setting or in a toddler setting.

Keep in mind for this Field Experience Competency Performance Assessment, your goal is to:

  1. Explain what the Competency Assessment entails to your Host Teacher, and then participate in a reflective conversation with the Host Teacher of the infant program or the toddler program. During the conversation, discuss how best you can participate in fostering the development and learning of a child or group of children in each age group. Ask for the teachers’ help not only to identify the children, but also to understand who they are as individuals – their interests, developmental levels, abilities, and cultural contexts. Also, discuss how best you can build on children’s interests, apply developmentally appropriate practice, and respect that all interactions with young children need to be based on relationships that involve observation, care, and individualization for strengths, needs, and interests.
  2. Complete the Infant or Toddler: Planning Template based on what you have learned from your Host Teacher and the resources for this Competency.
  3. Participate in the experiences you have planned with the infant(s) or toddler(s) identified.
  4. Complete the infant or Toddler Experience: Student Reflection portion.
  5. Complete the FE Verification and Evaluation with your Host Teacher.  You can print this off or fill it in together electronically. This Evaluation needs to be submitted with your assessment. Use APA referencing style.
