policy evaluation stage 4

/in /by

 The final draft should be a polished version of stages 1, 2, and 3.  It should incorporate any changes that the TA or I suggest you make and should reflect any new thoughts or ideas that you think will lead to an improvement in the paper. 

stage 2 feedback:

This stage of the paper was supposed to focus on a particular policy, how it ties into the economic theory and models discussed in the course so far, and provide summaries of other empirical, peer reviewed papers that look at similar policies.

In this, you talk about CERB, but do not offer any insight into how it ties into the framework discussed in class, and provide no summaries of other empirical papers looking at similar policies. 

In preparation of your final submission, please spend more time trying to connect the policies with the class material, and finding other empirical papers to discuss and summarize.

 Does not include summaries of other empirical papers focusing on policies similar to the one in question.

Provides no explanation of the possible outcomes of this policy using the theory discussed in the class thus far.

stage 3 feedback:

Much of this submission spent talking about the details of CERB, as well as the effectiveness of the other policies implemented by Canada. There is very little content discussing the specific outcomes of CERB, and if the policy can be measured as a success, or how it compares to other similar wage subsidy/transfer programs.

For your final submission, please include more of a discussion on how CERB is different from other policies that are similar, as well as how the setting of CERB is different from those other policies. 

There is little discussion on potential changes to CERB and how they would affect the effectiveness of the program, so please elaborate on that for your final submission as well. 

Your writing continues to have awkward phrasing and a lack of editing. Please pay close attention to both of these prior to your final submission next week. 

Consultation, Supervision, and Advocacy Plan

/in /by

 

Introduction

For this assignment, imagine you have been contacted by an agency in your community to provide consultation on how they might improve their services to clients. The agency is concerned that clients with serious counseling issues are “falling between the cracks” when they are referred to others in the community for intensive treatment. Furthermore, the brief aftercare they provide is not accessible enough to sufficiently support clients as they re-integrate into the community.

 

Use the Consultation, Supervision, and Advocacy Plan Template to complete this assignment. Using your studies in Units 7, 8, and 9, as well as ideas you have gathered from your peers in the discussions, address the following in your assignment:

  1. Identify a population with mental health counseling needs as well as other needs, for example:
    • People experiencing chronic or severe mental illnesses who also experience homelessness.
    • Children with medical needs who also experience high anxiety.
    • Elderly individuals who are socially isolated and depressed.
    • Chemically dependent persons with recurring mental health crises.
  2. Evaluate how the group you identified has been served in the history of clinical mental health counseling.
  3. Describe the agency that is requesting consultation, specifying where their services are located within the continuum of care available in the community. Briefly outline the services they provide, such as outpatient services, inpatient services, partial hospitalization, or aftercare, and describe the other professionals or entities to whom they can refer clients for coordinated care.
  4. Identify and describe the consultation theory, model, and strategies you would propose use to assist the agency in improving coordinated services for their clients.
  5. Propose a counseling supervision model for the agency that describes roles and strategies for maintaining ethical and consistent client care.
  6. Recommend additional steps professionals at the agency could take to advocate at the state or national level to reduce barriers that impede access, equity, and success for their client population.

Review the scoring guide linked in the Resources area to make sure you understand how this assignment will be graded.

Additional Requirements

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Written communication: Compose your paper to concisely and clearly address each topic, with correct grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
  • Length of paper: 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference page.
  • References: Be sure to correctly cite and reference at least three sources.
  • APA formatting: Follow current APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources in the body of your paper and on the References page.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Some reports indicate that a “digital divide” exists between middle/upper class students

Description

Some reports indicate that a “digital divide” exists between middle/upper class students and students from low-income families. AND 1.2 What schools can do to help narrow the access gap that could lead to the most underserved students being economically disadvantaged in the future? AND 1.3 As a teacher, how would you integrate technology into your lessons (technology as a tool for effective teaching) and deal with the digital divide issues? (please propose at least three strategies for each and elaborate on them) [A good question to reflect upon during pandemic]

1.  

2. What do you think about the notion of cultural literacy (what every American needs to know) or foundational knowledge for public school students proposed by E.D. Hirsch and elaborate on your response?  AND 2.1 There were a huge influx of immigrant children (most of them are ELL students) into the school district, what would you suggest (in general) we need to do in “educating all students” required by the state? (please propose at least three strategies and elaborate on them)

3. What approaches would you propose to your future educational policy makers (state/district level) to “de-segregate” our schools and to promote the communications among parents, teachers, and community. (please propose at least three strategies and elaborate on them)

In a large, inner city neighborhood, an elementary/middle school principal faced a serious problem.  Her teachers had implemented a variety of assessments including performances, portfolios, presentations, projects, research papers, and so on.  Students seemed to respond well to these different measures, and grades went up.  Parents and teachers alike were pleased with these assessment efforts until the district-wide standardized test results were published.  Surprisingly, the scores for students in grades four through eight stayed the same.  There was little improvement in the reported scores compared with scored from the prior year.  Because the inner-city school scored lower than the district average, it was placed on a watch list.  The local papers decried the school’s instruction and demanded change.

4. What are some of the reasons that could account for the supposed improvement in students’ grades even though the standardized tests showed little achievement growth?

5. What do you think the principal of the school could do in response to the negative publicity?  What suggestions would you give to the principal to change the things around?

6. What is your response to the statement of “teaching to the tests” if parents raised the issue?  Please elaborate. (Do you believe that teachers and principals should be sanctioned or rewarded on the basis of standardized tests? Why or why not?)

7. What would you suggest to the principal in regard to some “bullying incidents” OR “violence incidents” happened in the school? A proposal of concrete strategies.

9.1 Coyote Beer

Coyote Beer is the oldest brewing company in New Mexico or, at least, the oldest beer brand in New Mexico. During the 1980s, the company went through bankruptcy largely due to its inability to compete with the big national beer brands. In the 1990s, a group of investors purchased the brand name from the bankruptcy court and reincarnated it as a microbrewery with retail locations offering brew pub atmosphere and casual dining. In addition, Coyote Beer distributed its products through specialty liquor stores that offer an extensive assortment of specialty beers, including imported and microbrewery beers. The company currently has 18 brew pub locations and distribution in 243 liquor stores across New Mexico.

The company has experienced solid growth and financial performance over its 12-year history. However, the competitive environment remains tough with the big national brands at one end of the spectrum and other microbreweries and brew pubs at the other end. It is critical that Coyote Beer spend its limited marketing budget in the most efficient manner to drive business to its brew pubs and the sale of its products through liquor stores.

In recent months, the management team at Coyote Beer has been divided in regard to the best marketing strategy for the company. One contingent wants to pursue a strategy based on a low price, relative to import and other microbrews. The other group wants to focus on enhancing the image of Coyote Beer with a focus on its long history in the state of New Mexico and the artisanal nature of its brewing process. The difference of opinion between the two factions has become heated and somewhat divisive. Furthermore, time is running out to get the marketing strategy in place for the coming year.

Toby Green, director of marketing, knows that it is important to make the right decision and to break the deadlock quickly so that the company can move on with its plans and business development activities. He wants to design a test that will settle the issue once and for all in a scientific manner. Coyote Beer has always focused on college markets across the state with a brew pub in the vicinity of every major college in New Mexico. Toby’s research plan calls for testing the price-oriented campaign in one market and the image-oriented campaign in another. The impact on sales in the respective markets will indicate the effectiveness of the two approaches. He faces a number of decisions. First, he is considering using Albuquerque and Las Cruces as the two test markets. They are both established college towns. His logic is that they are both somewhat isolated markets and what Coyote Beer does in these markets will not likely spill over into other areas. Second, there is the question of how long to run the test. Finally, it is necessary to sort out what happens in the two test markets from the general trend for Coyote Beer in the rest of the state.

Chapter 9 explores the use of experimental designs in marketing research and speaks to all these issues.

Now that you have read the chapter, comment on the three designs that might be used: one-short case study, one-group pretest–posttest, and before and after with control group design.

Which design provides a measure of the effects of variables not included in the experiment? Explain how it accomplishes this.

Week 7 Assignment

  • Definitions and examples of harassment and retaliation.
  • At least 5 possible questions an employee might ask about harassment and retaliation in the workplace and your responses.
  • At least 5 recommended resources you would like every employee to have. Be sure to annotate each one with a brief summary of the resource and your rationale for your recommendation.

Part 2: Harassment and Retaliation in the Workplace: Making It Real

Considering what you have learned about the legalities related to harassment and retaliation, recall such a situation from your work experience or reported abuse in a legitimate news report demonstrating harassment in the workplace. For this part of the presentation, include:

  • A summary of the harassment and whether retaliation was involved. If so, in what ways? If you were the HR professional involved, what retaliatory actions might you anticipate and how might these be avoided?
  • What you would need to know about the law in order to handle the situation appropriately and effectively as am HR professional. 
  • Your recommendation of steps to take to prevent this situation from happening again.

The written research proposal will be created based on a narrowly defined aspect of the topic selected in Week One. A research proposal is a detailed plan for a specific study to be conducted at a future time. It is the document which potential researchers typically submit to an institutional review board (IRB) for ethical review and approval, and/or to funding agencies to secure financial support for a research effort. Because it is a plan for research which has not yet been conducted, the Methods section should be written in the future tense and should not contain any hypothetical results. The paper must address all of the components required in the Methods section of a research proposal. The following actions must be completed.

  • State the research question and/or hypothesis.
  • Briefly compare the characteristics of the major research paradigms used in previous studies on the chosen topic. Introduce the specific approach (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques to be used in this study. Provide a short explanation as to why the selected procedures are more feasible than other alternatives for the research topic.
  • Describe any relevant variables, measures, and statistical tests.
  • Apply ethical principles and professional standards to the proposed psychological research. Provide an analysis of any ethical issues that may arise and explain how these issues will be resolved.

The following headings for the required sections and subsections must appear in the paper. In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the text of the paper.

  • Introduction
    • Introduce the research topic, explain why it is important, and present an appropriately and narrowly defined research question and/or hypothesis.
  • Literature Review
    • Evaluate the published research on the chosen topic including a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles. Summarize the current state of knowledge on the topic, making reference to the findings of previous research studies. Briefly mention the research methods that have previously been used to study the topic. State whether the proposed study is a replication of a previous study or a new approach employing methods that have not been used before. Be sure to properly cite all sources in APA style.
  • Methods
    • Design – Create a feasible research design that incorporates appropriate methods to address the topic. Indicate whether the approach of the proposed study is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Identify the specific research design, and indicate whether it is experimental or non-experimental. Evaluate the chosen design and explain why this design is feasible and appropriate for the topic and how it will provide the information needed to answer the research question. Cite sources on research methodology to support these choices. Include a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
    • Participants – Identify and describe the sampling strategy to be used to recruit participants for the study. Estimate the number of participants needed, and explain why this sampling method is appropriate for the research design and approach.
    • Procedure/Measures – Apply the scientific method by describing the steps to be taken in carrying out the study. Identify any test, questionnaire, or measurement instrument to be utilized. If an existing published instrument will be employed, briefly describe it and cite the source. If an original questionnaire, survey, or test will be created for the project, describe the types of information that will be collected with it and explain how the validity and reliability of the instrument will be established. If such an instrument will not be used, describe how the data will be collected for the study.
    • Data Analysis – Describe the statistical techniques (if quantitative) or the analysis procedure (if qualitative) to be used to analyze the data. Cite at least one peer-reviewed source on the chosen analysis technique.
    • Ethical Issues – Analyze the impact of ethical concerns on the proposed study, such as confidentiality, deception, informed consent, potential harm to participants, conflict of interest, IRB approval, etc. After analyzing the ethical issues that apply to the project, indicate what will be done to handle these concerns.
  • Conclusion
    • Briefly summarize the major points of the paper and reiterate why the proposed study is needed.

You are an assistant to the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Organized Crime Task Force. The SAC has asked you to go over certain witness-related situations that will be testified to in an upcoming trial. The SAC has concerns about some of the witness testimony and is trying to avoid embarrassment by turning in records that may not be usable by the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) who is prosecuting the case.

  • Tommy “Two Toes” D’Natalia has a certified public accountant (CPA). He has been using his accountant to wash ill-gotten gains from his racketeering. The SAC has a subpoena for the CPA. D’Natalia is claiming privileged communication with his CPA, and it prohibits the accountant from testifying. 
  • Luigi “the Pipe” Cardone heard through the grapevine that Big Sal Salvatore has been telling everyone how he was told by Frankie “the Lip” Bonnano that Freddie “Fingers” Malone was murdered by his wife Slippery Sally Genovese-Malone. Cardone wants a deal to testify against Slippery Sally. 
  • Lawrence ‘Lucky’ Livorno drove the getaway car for a jewelry store heist. Bertram “Bugsy” Bertoli and Little Carmine D’Angelo went in and robbed the store. During the robbery, Bertoli shot and killed the store owner. D’Angelo and Livorno both want to testify to avoid the death penalty.

For your assignment, complete the following in 3–4 pages:

  • Identify which testimony is hearsay and likely to be inadmissible. 
  • Identify which testimony is privileged communication and which is not. 
  • Identify how the Best Evidence Rule functions in relationship to the witness testimony being proffered.
