In the Signature Assignment for this class (due in Week 8), you’ll create a PDF document or an instructional video appropriate in the context of professional development (K-12, higher education, or corporate institutions). To get you thinking in that direction, you will submit a simple task analysis for your topic. For the task analysis, use the questions for task analysis listed in Chapter 4 of the Brown and Green text. Note: This is just one example of questions that should be asked, but these are some of the key questions.
What is the task that individuals should be able to accomplish or perform?
What are the key components of this task (i.e., the skills and knowledge and individual needs in order to successfully complete or perform the task)?
What is the sequence in which a task is accomplished or performed and should be learned and taught?
How can you determine whether an individual is able to accomplish the task?
You’ll support your ideas with information from course literature and your own research. Please cite your supporting resources properly (just as you would do with a traditional paper).
Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You are expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.
Length: 3-4 pages
References: Include a minimum of 4 credible resources.
Upload your document, and then click the Submit to Dropbox button. Although not required, you might also share your assignment in the ID CoP and request peer feedback (your instructor will provide feedback through the course).

Based on your readings in the required resources, identify the main ‘barriers’ that you see to activating sectors in your community. What about building consensus? Why? Be specific, but not critical, in your examples. Which of the examples and suggestions in our required readings do you think would be the easiest to implement and would work best in your community? Why?
Instructor Guidance
Week 3
Week three is very much a continuation of week two. We will continue to look at barriers, ways to build assets, and how to utilize community resources, schools, administrators, teachers, and parents in providing opportunities. But what is different in week three is that we also begin to work on your final assignment for the class. We will consider all the resources we have examined so far and what you have learned about your own school or community to begin to focus your final project. There are many resources for this week, both reading and video, that will help you develop ideas for your project.
In the first discussion for this week, you must first review the required resources. Then you are asked to identify a barrier in your school or community that prevents you from activating portions of the community to come together to solve the problem. For example, you may decide that building consensus cannot be done. But why is that? Rather than being emotionally critical about the barrier, please be analytic and reflective as you discuss it. As part of this discussion, you should also identify any of the required readings and videos that you think would be easy to implement and what might work in your particular school or community. Be sure you explain why you chose the resources you chose.
In the second discussion for this week, you again have a number of readings and videos to review before you begin to write your response. From the resources, you are asked to identify at least three examples of how the educators were able to incorporate developmental assets into their school operations. You should also identify at least three examples of where the educators could have gone further in developing or using the assets. Finally, reflect on which of the methods observed might work for you personally. Do you see any barriers to incorporating the strategies in your school or community?
For the Journal this week, you are asked to be reflective and consider the statements listed. For example based on the work so far in this class, where do you feel you can make an immediate impact in your school or community? What leads you to believe this? While there are emotions to consider, please analyze your beliefs so that you will have a basis for your final project
The written assignment for this week picks up where your Journal stops. In a well-reasoned and analytically reflective paper, describe your vision of the initiative you would like to start in your school or community. Summarize the developmental assets that we discussed in week one, and then identify the specific assets that will be necessary for your initiative. You should also defend your choice of assets based on your own understanding of the need and what you see in your community. Of course, your paper must be formatted in APA style and must cite at least three scholarly resources in addition to the textbook. It will be helpful if you review this additional resource concerning the developmental assets: 40 Developmental Assets – Kyle (Links to an external site.).
Content-based classroom events can be a fun way to engage students and involve families in their children’s education. Planning for such an event in your classroom is a big task and takes time and preparation. Preparing for assignments and events requires attention to detail, realistic and specific expectations, and practice.
Part 1: Outline
Select a grade level 5-8 and outline a lesson that integrates social studies and the arts, and turns the classroom into a wax museum as an instructional activity. The outline given to the students should provide the rationale for the assignment, explain the requirements to successfully complete the assignment, and describe how to present the wax museum to peers and families.
Include the following in the outline for the wax museum activity:
A state social studies standard and an arts standard.
Learning objectives
Description of how and where the wax museum will be presented, including how it successfully integrates two visual arts components (art, music, dance, drama).
Expectations for the student that explain the requirements, i.e., select a historical figure that has had an influence locally or globally.
How students will present selected figure visually and physically.
Guidelines for students on using technology to find and use information resources as preparation for the wax museum presentation.
The technological tools you would use to share this event with the school, families, and the community.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on how the wax museum outline could be successfully integrated into a future classroom. How does this assignment expand verbal communication techniques, including inquiry, collaboration, and student interaction?
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

you will write a short paper or deliver a presentation summarizing what you have learned about the three basic categories of research design. It may be a good idea to start by considering some questions related to the topic. Remember to include an introduction, APA-style headings (and subheadings if needed), a conclusion, and a references section. Avoid using too many direct quotations from the resources, and be sure to cite your sources.
Option 1:
What are the main elements and intentions of each research design?
Quantitative
Qualitative
Mixed Methods
Which design do you most relate to and why? Or which design(s) are you most familiar with? Consider how you might use research findings to better understand what you do in your professional context, and/or provide an example of how they might validate what you are already doing.
This should be an APA-style paper with a title page, an introduction, a series of sections using main headings and subheadings (based on the questions listed above), and a developed conclusion.
Length: 2-3 pages, including references as needed
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.
