EDCO705: Community Case Study Part 1 Assignment

Community Case Study Part 1 Assignment Writing is a critical element in doctoral-level work. Understanding not only how to articulate content in a scholarly voice, but also how to organize, synthesize, integrate and format writing is necessary. This assignment will occur in a step-wise process, with the submission of four parts. In Part 1, students will deliver a basic structure with appropriate page breaks, headings, and general APA structure (current Professional Paper version). You are a mental health professional in your local community and have been for the last five years. In that time, you have noted that there are unmet needs for your clients. These are not needs that your agency can address but could be addressed by joining of resources across the community. You believe that if those needs were addressed, your client population would not only benefit from the practical implementation of the resource, but would likely thrive and be able to have a more fully functioning life experience. This assignment focuses on the conceptualization of the “case” which is greater than one client; rather, the case is the need in the community which can support a client population. You can use a population identified in the Sue et al. text or the June and Black text. You can also consider other populations, examples of which include homeless, veterans, teenage parents, autistic children, addiction, incarcerated mothers, and multiple others. PART 1 INSTRUCTIONS Students will submit a template as a first step in writing their Community Case Study. This template will need to be developed in current APA Professional Paper format and should include the following: Title Page (this should include detailed information – be sure to include the header) Abstract (this should be developed) *page breaks should occur after the title page and after the end of the abstract. Body of paper headings, which should include (no specific content needed): · Introduction · Description of the Population · Identification of Need · Intervention Strategies · Resiliency Factors · Program or Coalition (you will only use one of these, but include both now) · Advocacy Program · Challenges and Barriers to Services · Conclusion · References (insert page break after the Conclusion heading)
