Determining which evidence-based and appropriate strategies and methodologies that are best suited to your health education program

Determining which evidence-based and appropriate strategies and methodologies that are best suited to your health education program requires extensive research. The health educator will need to consider the health issue of interest, the target population, as well as other factors that may influence the effectiveness and success of a health education program. Other factors such as resource availability, socio-demographics, and environmental concerns will help to inform how a health education program will ensure the promotion of health and well-being. Essentially, the strategies and methodologies outline how health educators will enact health promotion through the delivery of their health education program.

Consider the scenario:

Marcia is a health educator who has just finished drafting a proposal for a new health education program for the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) in her community. She has identified the main health issue she would like to address, developed a proposed budget and personnel worksheet, and has also outlined her proposed framework for cultivating individual motivation and behavior modification. Although Marcia feels that her proposal is robust in terms of meriting approval, she is wondering if it would be beneficial to outline her strategies or methodologies to make her program work. For example, would her program benefit from a group participation approach similar to a roundtable discussion or would her program be best delivered as a workshop? Should she invite speakers from both outside and inside the community to relay information as it applies to potential health services or might that be too much for her proposed program? What curriculum (new or existing) could be included in her program?

For this Assignment, review the Point Mar Case Study provided in this week’s Learning Resources. With your health education program from Week 6 in mind, research evidence-based and appropriate health education strategies/methodologies that you would implement. Reflect on how the evidence-based support contributes to the effectiveness of the strategies and/or methodologies that you will select.

The Assignment: (2 pages)

  • Explain which evidence-based and appropriate health education strategies/methodologies you would select for your health education program and why. Be sure to include peer-reviewed journal articles that establish the evidence-based research for your health education strategies and/or methodologies that you select.
  • Explain how the role of the health educator may vary based on the strategies/methodologies you selected. Be specific and provide examples.

Community Advocate

As an early childhood educator, you will be an advocate for children’s needs. As such, you should gather various resources to assist families as they nurture their child’s cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and linguistic growth.

For this assignment, create a 15-20 slide digital presentation, including slides for the title page, presenter’s notes, and references, based on the following scenario:

The child care center where you teach has hired several new teachers. Your child care director has asked you to create a digital presentation  for the new teachers to increase their awareness of various family structures they will see at the center, strategies to get families involved, and agencies at the community, state, and national level that can support families to engage in and enhance the development of their young children.

As you are developing your presentation, keep in mind that your audience has had little exposure to being a classroom teacher.

Include the following:

  • Explanation of three different family structures they may encounter in the child care center (single parent family, extended family, military family, blended family, etc.). 
  • For each family structure, a description of two traumatic or stressful situations that may occur (there may be some overlap).
  • For each traumatic or stressful situation described above, provide 1-2 instructional strategies  to assist these children in their growth and development.
  • At least 2-3 strategies to encourage family involvement.
  • Explanation of at least three local, state, or national resources   available to support family structures, stress, trauma, and special family circumstances that affect learner development.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This deliverable will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of different communication theories as they are used in practice.

Scenario

Your place of employment has expanded and is looking to hire people who will be working with you. Because you will be working with the new hires, you will be a part of the interviewing process. Identify a position in a company or organization that you have previously held, or a position you wish to hold sometime in the future. Your interview process will be for this position.

Instructions

Select a friend, coworker, or relative in a professional position to be your interviewee. Interview this person as if you were planning on hiring him or her for the position using at least six of the following questions:

  1. What are your strengths?
  2. What are your weaknesses?
  3. Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?
  4. What can you offer us that someone else cannot?
  5. What are three things your former manager would like you to improve on?
  6. Tell me about an accomplishment you are most proud of.
  7. What would you look to accomplish in the first 30 days/60 days/90 days on the job?
  8. Describe yourself.
  9. Tell me how you handled a difficult situation.

  14. What gets you up in the morning?
  15. Are you a leader or a follower?

*Give this list of questions to your subject at least 24 hours in advance.

You may find it helpful to record the interview. It is also important that you engage in conversation. When your interviewee responds, use the response to formulate a dynamic discussion between the two of you. Be sure to have this conversational component.

Once you have completed the interview, write a report on your interviewee either recommending he or she be hired or not hired. Include the following in your report:

  • A recommendation to either hire or not hire the interviewee that includes clear and specific reasoning. Base your response on the following communication elements:      
    1. Discuss the conversation you had with your interviewee. Look at each of the questions you asked and the answers you received within the context of one or more of the communication models outlined in this module. Discuss how the theories are used within this conversation. You may pick any of the communication models to use for this.
    2. Discuss the back-and-forth nature of the conversation. How did your interviewee respond to questions and other forms of your interaction? How did you respond to your interviewee? Use specific communication examples.
    3. Be sure to write this document as if it is an official report to an employer. Grammar, punctuation, and formatting are important.
