  • Capstone Worksheet #2: Need for Change and Desired Outcomes “Breaking Barriers: Addressing the Language Barrier in Special Education for Bronx Parents”

    Capstone 1 is done you will continue with capstone 2  , there is an example attach on file also instructions attach to write capstone 2. you have to use capstone to1 to be able to continue capstone 2 . please follow instructions and please hand in paper (worksheet)on times Capstone Worksheet #2: Need for Change and Desired Outcomes
    Worksheet Introduction
    This worksheet has two parts: Need for Change and Desired Outcomes. Prepare a document using each of the two headings and follow the instructions for each section. Your writing in each section should be brief and concise. You will write all of this up more in depth in your actual Capstone paper in SW676. For now, you are using this assignment to flesh out your identification of the problem, related considerations and ways of knowing when change has been achieved. Please include related references.
    Please do not hesitate to reach out to your instructor to discuss before completing this exercise.
    Need for Change
    This section should briefly describe the need for change. In other words, what change needs to be planned for. You don’t need the specifics of the change plan yet, just the identification of what needs to change in the client system.
    For example, if you have identified a lack of staff training in suicide assessment, here you will describe that the staff need to be better prepared to respond to suicidal ideation from their students. You will briefly explain that in order to achieve this change, staff will need to attend a series of trainings, which have be approved by the vide principle and principle. The trainings will have to be scheduled at a time when most teachers can attend, and the training curriculum will need to be identified. These are general steps of the need for change, that will help you begin thinking about developing the actual plan.
    Need for Change
    Briefly describe the need for change. Briefly describe relevant considerations, such as the following questions (only answer those that are relevant to your project):
    • Who has power in this situation in terms of decision-making, finance, ability to make change, etc.? How will services to the client be paid for? Who are the community stakeholders?
    • What are the individual, family, group, community, and other issues relevant to an understanding of the client system / population affected and the problem?
    • What obstacles must be overcome?
    • What are the client system’s / community / population served strengths and resources (include client/community assets)?
    Desired Outcomes
    This section should describe the focus of your work and how you will know if the change you hoped for as occurred. You should begin by clearly identifying the desired outcomes and then a way to determine if those outcomes have been achieved. Again, you don’t need to discuss interventions here, but the outcomes you and the client / the community hope for.
    For example, if you are working with a depressed teenager, you will describe the desired outcome as a reduction in depressive symptoms. You will explain that change will be measured using:  the client’s self-report, social worker’s observations and the Beck Depression Inventory.
    If you have identified panhandling as a problem in your community, the desired outcome may not be to reduce panhandling (that would be a lot for a student to accomplish!) but it may be to improve awareness of business owners and local policymakers about panhandling and policy approaches used in cities that have successfully and humanely addressed/remediated the problem.
    Identify Desired Outcomes
    This section should be 1-2 paragraphs and address the following questions:
    • How will the client / client system/ population served and you know if outcomes are achieved?  • Describe anything relevant that is happening on other levels that affect the problem (if a micro problem, what is happening at the mezzo or macro level; if a macro problem, what is happening at the micro or mezzo level) that may impact the desired outcome.
    I attach capstone 1 worksheet done capstone 2 worksheet instructions and example is attach. you will be working on capstone 2

  • “Developing an Integrated Ethical Framework for Personal and Professional Decision Making” OPTION 2: GROUP PROJECT – ETHICAL CASE STUDY ANALYSIS In groups of 3-4, choose an ethical case study from the Regis Library database or

    Final Project
    Dear Students: 
    You have two options to choose from for the final project. It is due Sunday, June 23 by midnight.
    I would prefer that you do option 2. Unless you are a stellar writer, students usually get better grades doing the group project (option 2). Further, the survey you take highlighting your participation in the group usually adds points.
    OPTION 1: ETHICAL FRAMEWORK PAPER
    In a 10 page paper, double spaced, 1-inch margins, size12 font, construct your own integrated framework (method) for resolving ethical dilemmas in your personal and professional life. This is not a group project.
    2 of the 10 pages must include a properly formatted Annotated Bibliography (go on YouTube for examples) that includes five scholarly sources using Regis Library databases. Use your school’s required format (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc).
    You must use Ruggiero (chapters 7-10) and two other theories.
    Each of the three theories must be rigorously described and explained 
    Then you must demonstrate that they can be integrated into one unified framework for making ethical decisions and judgments.
    For example, you could use Ruggiero’s four steps (ch. 7) and Lonergan’s operations of consciousness. Then you could show how people in different orders of consciousness (Kegan) would understand and use the steps.
    Another example would be to use Ruggiero’s three basic criteria and show how each is understood differently depending on what order of consciousness one is in. Then you could show how Lonergan’s theory would apply.
