Commitment of Professionalism 2
A great passion of mine is to advocate for child abuse and neglect. Research shows that
child abuse and neglect is a critical issue because it happens daily. The focus of my advocacy
efforts is child abuse and neglect as I am passionate about the well-being and safety of all
children. I would like to address the issue of abuse and neglect of children by their caregivers or
any adult figure. Although some parents may have the means to provide adequate resources, they
oftentimes fail to satisfy areas of needs with children that include but are not limited to
compassion, respect, access to learning resources, proper food and clothing, protection and
safety, good moral character development, love and much more.
An example of a policymaker I would consult would be the Department of Children and
Families (DCF). The Department of Children and Families would be first on my list to contact as
they are easily accessible and ready for contact as they deal with child abuse, exploitation, and
neglect directly. Furthermore, the Department of Children and Families are always open to
providing information that will be useful on the topic and assistance with furthering knowledge
on the processes and issues with child abuse and neglect. The strategies that will be used to gain
support from the Department of Children and Families would include formally arranging a
meetin.

You will spend five weeks completing a 5-7 page academic argument in APA style. Each week is devoted to
one phase of the academic writing process:
1. Topic Selection & Beginning Research
2. Pre-Writing & Organization
3. Draft Writing
4. Revision
5. Final Draft
Week 1: Topic Selection & Beginning Research
Select a topic from the list of approved topics that begins on page two of this document. You will be working
with the same topic for the next five weeks. Choose a topic that is interesting but be wary of topics that elicit a
strong emotional response. We will be writing an objective academic paper in third-person perspective, which
may be difficult if you feel too personally connected to the topic.
As you begin to gather research on the topic, start organizing your work into an annotated bibliography. You
will submit your annotated bibliography for grading and feedback at the end of Week 1. You will use a working
thesis statement to guide you. These items may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 2: Pre-Writing & Organization
After gathering sufficient research, you will begin to build a credible argument about the topic, which may
require revisions to your working thesis statement. You will submit an outline of your academic argument for
grading and feedback at the end of Week 2. The outline may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 3: Draft Writing
You will utilize your annotated bibliography and outline as tools to write a rough draft essay. The annotated
bibliography provides you with your research notes while the outline guides you through the structure of your
argument. You will submit a rough draft of your academic argument for grading and feedback at the end of
Week 3. You will have time to fully revise your draft over the remaining two weeks of class.
Week 4: Revision
The revision process contains a number of steps that may overlap and repeat. This includes additional research,
more writing, proofreading, editing, and content revision. You must consider and apply the feedback you
received throughout class as you revise your rough draft. You are expected to use Week 4 as an opportunity for
careful and thorough revision.
Week 5: Final Draft
The final week of class will culminate in the submission of your Final Research Paper. This is the final,
complete, error-free version of your academic argument. The final draft is worth 30% of your final grade in this
class.

After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. .docxnettletondevon
After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. management about the recommendations for the
incentives and performance appraisal projects, the HR generalist has been assigned a project that will prove to be
very challenging: assessing the competitiveness of the company benefits package.
The owners of StopNShopToday, Inc. are very concerned about the escalation of health insurance costs. When they
started the business in 1991, benefit costs were much less and employees were happier with what the company
provided. Now, however, the owners regularly hear employee complaints about the growing health insurance
premiums they pay.
In addition, the owners are tired of employees always requesting that they be allowed to take a greater number of
paid personal absence days. Scheduling employee vacations and holidays is difficult because the company's store
locations are open all day and every day, except for Christmas and New Year's day. As a result, the owners want to
compare StopNShopToday, Inc.'s benefits package with other similar companies. They intend to use these facts to
make better decisions and communicate their problems more accurately to employees.
As the HR generalist, you quickly realize that the corporation had never quantified the total costs of benefits. After 1
month of exhaustive review of benefits bills and payroll records, you have summarized the corporate compensation
and benefits costs as seen in the following:
Percent of Total Compensation:
• Total wages and salaries: 50%
• Total benefits costs: 25%
• Paid leave: 5%
• Supplemental leave: 2%
• Insurance: 6%
• Retirement and savings: 2%
• Legally required benefits: 10%
• Other benefits: 0%
With this information, you will now attempt an external benefits comparison. To get benefits data from other
companies, review the following data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of the
most pertinent survey results are in Appendix A.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005 data.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 1986–2001 data.
Prepare a comparison of the compensation and benefits costs that you will deliver to the company's owners. Create
at least 1 chart to visually depict the most relevant data. Address the issues of greatest concern to the owners.
Provide several paragraphs to summarize your findings. Use Appendix A or additional data provided in the U.S.
Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics documents.

may be difficult if you feel too personally connected to the topic.
As you begin to gather research on the topic, start organizing your work into an annotated bibliography. You
will submit your annotated bibliography for grading and feedback at the end of Week 1. You will use a working
thesis statement to guide you. These items may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 2: Pre-Writing & Organization
After gathering sufficient research, you will begin to build a credible argument about the topic, which may
require revisions to your working thesis statement. You will submit an outline of your academic argument for
grading and feedback at the end of Week 2. The outline may need to be revised before you move forward.
Week 3: Draft Writing
You will utilize your annotated bibliography and outline as tools to write a rough draft essay. The annotated
bibliography provides you with your research notes while the outline guides you through the structure of your
argument. You will submit a rough draft of your academic argument for grading and feedback at the end of
Week 3. You will have time to fully revise your draft over the remaining two weeks of class.
Week 4: Revision
The revision process contains a number of steps that may overlap and repeat. This includes additional research,
more writing, proofreading, editing, and content revision. You must consider and apply the feedback you
received throughout class as you revise your rough draft. You are expected to use Week 4 as an opportunity for
careful and thorough revision.
Week 5: Final Draft
The final week of class will culminate in the submission of your Final Research Paper. This is the final,
complete, error-free version of your academic argument. The final draft is worth 30% of your final grade in this
class.

After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. .docxnettletondevon
After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. management about the recommendations for the
incentives and performance appraisal projects, the HR generalist has been assigned a project that will prove to be
very challenging: assessing the competitiveness of the company benefits package.
The owners of StopNShopToday, Inc. are very concerned about the escalation of health insurance costs. When they
started the business in 1991, benefit costs were much less and employees were happier with what the company
provided. Now, however, the owners regularly hear employee complaints about the growing health insurance
premiums they pay.
In addition, the owners are tired of employees always requesting that they be allowed to take a greater number of
paid personal absence days. Scheduling employee vacations and holidays is difficult because the company's store
locations are open all day and every day, except for Christmas and New Year's day. As a result, the owners want to
compare StopNShopToday, Inc.'s benefits package with other similar companies. They intend to use these facts to
make better decisions and communicate their problems more accurately to employees.
As the HR generalist, you quickly realize that the corporation had never quantified the total costs of benefits. After 1
month of exhaustive review of benefits bills and payroll records, you have summarized the corporate compensation
and benefits costs as seen in the following:
Percent of Total Compensation:
• Total wages and salaries: 50%
• Total benefits costs: 25%
• Paid leave: 5%
• Supplemental leave: 2%
• Insurance: 6%
• Retirement and savings: 2%
• Legally required benefits: 10%
• Other benefits: 0%
With this information, you will now attempt an external benefits comparison. To get benefits data from other
companies, review the following data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of the
most pertinent survey results are in Appendix A.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005 data.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 1986–2001 data.
Prepare a comparison of the compensation and benefits costs that you will deliver to the company's owners. Create
at least 1 chart to visually depict the most relevant data. Address the issues of greatest concern to the owners.
Provide several paragraphs to summarize your findings. Use Appendix A or additional data provided in the U.S.
Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics documents.

Week 2 Assignment Empowerment: Celebrating Youth
A student has approached you with a concern or problem that they have identified in his or her community or school. In order to prevent falling into the trap of solving the problem for the student, you decide to work with the student by providing empowering resources that outline how he or she can start to solve the problem themselves. Using the required resources, school or community guidelines for students, and at least two cited, scholarly sources, create an inspirational and practical how-to brochure or handout that you could provide about how to start a community initiative.
Your brochure is written for students; however, make sure at least two references, in addition to the textbook, are cited in APA format. The brochure must include a minimum of three parts provided in a tri-fold format. The brochure or handout must include a combination of text, graphics, and a listing of community resources available to the age group identified with the problem or concern. This document will be resubmitted as part of your Final Project.
Instructor Guidance
Week 2
In week two of our class, you should take a few moments and look at the weekly learning outcomes. If you put those together you find that there really are just two things that come through. First, we want to understand those things that exist for programs that are for youth. As part of that, we will analyze community resources and structures for high-quality programs along with barriers to success. Second, we want to understand how youth, teachers, and school administrators can work with the community to build strong programs. The concept of developmental assets will come into play this week as well. With schools, teachers, students, and parents working together, we will find ways to overcome barriers.
In the first discussion for the week, we’re talking about barriers to success. Some barriers are obvious because there may be a physical barrier in the way. Other barriers are less obvious because they are the attitudes that some people have about the programs and offering services to the youth in the community. But some barriers are almost imperceptible. In this discussion you are asked to identify barriers in your school or community that would prevent you from incorporating the ideas you found in this week’s readings and video. Please be sure to include solutions that you develop for overcoming the barriers.
In the second discussion we want to focus on working with youth in the community. One of the problems or barriers to successful programs is that often, we adults want to do things for the youth. What we need to think about is how we work with them, not for them. In this discussion you are asked to identify a group or individuals that exemplify the themes from the readings and videos of the week. Be sure you have reviewed all of the resources for this week.
In the written assignment for this week, we are asked to use what we’ve lear ...
Part1 In order to be an effective early childhood educator an.docxssuser562afc1
Part:1
In order to be an effective early childhood educator and anti-bias advocate, it is necessary, first and foremost, to recognize and challenge one’s own biases. While this may not seem difficult on a surface level, there are, in fact, various strategies and practices for recognizing the overt and more subtle or covert biases one may possess.
In two to three pages, address the following:
· Describe yourself, including any relevant information about your own social identity and culture. Explain how your own identity and/or culture might influence your professional practice. If applicable, share your own experiences with privilege, oppression, and/or bias.
· Identify three strategies that you will use in order to explore and overcome your own biases.
· Explain why you chose these strategies and how exploring and overcoming your own biases can positively impact the children and families with whom you work.
Part:2
Bias and discrimination affect people from all walks of life. In the early childhood field, bias and discrimination are especially troublesome, as they can have long-term impacts that can continue to affect children through adulthood. Read Document #1: Madison Place Preschool Scenario prior to beginning Part II.
In three to four pages, complete the following:
· Describe four strategies that you will use in order to address bias and promote equity among the young children in your classroom.
· Explain why you chose these strategies, and how they will help address bias and promote equity.
· Describe how you will implement these strategies to advocate for positive social change on behalf of the children in your classroom.
· Describe one way you will partner with families and/or the community in your advocacy efforts.
Part:3
While advocating for access, equity, and change in early childhood classrooms is an important first step, early childhood settings support this advocacy effort on an organizational level.
In two to three pages, complete the following:
· Describe how you will advocate for anti-bias curriculum in your early childhood setting or one in which you might work.
· Explain why anti-bias curriculum should be adopted in in this setting.
· Explain why access and equity at the organizational level are important to developing early childhood programs that help promote the growth and development of children, families, and communities.
· Include a description of at least one organization with whom you might partner to promote access, equity, and social change for young children and families in your early childhood setting or one in which you might work, and explain why you have chosen this organization.
Part.4
In two pages, describe the significant and lasting impacts that access and equity can have on children, families, communities, and a global society.
Specifically, your response should include the following:
· An explanation of the benefits of advocating for access, equity, and change on children’s healthy development .
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.

Proposal Pitch for Housing for the Homeless
Homelessness is an ongoing problem in our country; approximately there were 580,466 homeless people are living in the United States and increasing daily. An individual is considered homeless if they stay in their cars, shelters, abandoned buildings, on the streets, or with family or friends. Homelessness can be caused by unemployment, mental illness, disabilities, foreclosure, housing, low-paying jobs, and criminal history. As a country, enough is not being done to end Homelessness, but Homelessness seems to increase due to unaffordable housing. Homeless people need health care, shelter, clothes, and food but must be treated as human beings.
There are several circumstances in which an individual or family may become homeless. A portion of Homelessness is caused by individuals with physical and mental disabilities. (CCBC Library) Due to the lack of health insurance, the homeless may suffer from malnutrition, disease and illness, exposure to crime, and weather conditions can contribute to poor health for the homeless. States have refused to expand their medical program, which leaves the low-income and homeless uninsured. Substance abuse also contributes to Homelessness; the lack of affordable housing and no remaining space in shelters forces individuals to live on the streets. Some areas do not allow the homeless to sleep, eat, be.

I. Health Problem.
I have chosen to complete my final project discussing Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). There are quite a few people that I know that are near and dear to my heart living with this virus. There are many misconceptions about HIV that the public has simply due to unawareness. With most common public health issues there are many questions that need to be answered to solve the myths. Mental health and substance use disorders can also make it difficult for people to take their medications as prescribed. When HIV is not treated or maintained, it can lead to the fatal diseases Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Of note, you cannot have AIDS without being infected with HIV. According to the Center for Disease Control, HIV can affect anyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, gender, or age (CDC, 2022). However, certain groups are at a higher risk for HIV and weigh special considerations due to the specific risk factors. Gay and Bisexual men, pregnant women, infants, children, Transgender people, people who exchange sex for money, people who inject drugs, etc. These are all considerations of the causes for higher risk for being affected by HIV. However, with the modern medicines and treatments for HIV, many have been known to live long and healthy lives.
II. Organization.
The organization that I have chosen is the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO was founded in 1948 and is the United Nations Agency that connects nations, partners, and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health (WHO, 2022). My role in this organization will be a Public Health Physician. WHO works closely with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Elimination of Mother-to Child Transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and pediatric AIDS and works with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on the integration of HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). WHO considers the epidemiological, technological, and contextual trends of previous years, promotes learning with each disease area, and generates opportunities to leverage innovations and knowledge for efficient responses to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Thanks to awareness and past research, WHO is able to provide a in depth analysis of the past and current trends of HIV and other STI through multiple platforms.

In two to three pages, address the following:
· Describe yourself, including any relevant information about your own social identity and culture. Explain how your own identity and/or culture might influence your professional practice. If applicable, share your own experiences with privilege, oppression, and/or bias.
· Identify three strategies that you will use in order to explore and overcome your own biases.
· Explain why you chose these strategies and how exploring and overcoming your own biases can positively impact the children and families with whom you work.
Part:2
Bias and discrimination affect people from all walks of life. In the early childhood field, bias and discrimination are especially troublesome, as they can have long-term impacts that can continue to affect children through adulthood. Read Document #1: Madison Place Preschool Scenario prior to beginning Part II.
In three to four pages, complete the following:
· Describe four strategies that you will use in order to address bias and promote equity among the young children in your classroom.
· Explain why you chose these strategies, and how they will help address bias and promote equity.
· Describe how you will implement these strategies to advocate for positive social change on behalf of the children in your classroom.
· Describe one way you will partner with families and/or the community in your advocacy efforts.
Part:3
While advocating for access, equity, and change in early childhood classrooms is an important first step, early childhood settings support this advocacy effort on an organizational level.
In two to three pages, complete the following:
· Describe how you will advocate for anti-bias curriculum in your early childhood setting or one in which you might work.
· Explain why anti-bias curriculum should be adopted in in this setting.
· Explain why access and equity at the organizational level are important to developing early childhood programs that help promote the growth and development of children, families, and communities.
· Include a description of at least one organization with whom you might partner to promote access, equity, and social change for young children and families in your early childhood setting or one in which you might work, and explain why you have chosen this organization.
Part.4
In two pages, describe the significant and lasting impacts that access and equity can have on children, families, communities, and a global society.
Specifically, your response should include the following:
· An explanation of the benefits of advocating for access, equity, and change on children’s healthy development .
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.

Proposal Pitch for Housing for the Homeless
Homelessness is an ongoing problem in our country; approximately there were 580,466 homeless people are living in the United States and increasing daily. An individual is considered homeless if they stay in their cars, shelters, abandoned buildings, on the streets, or with family or friends. Homelessness can be caused by unemployment, mental illness, disabilities, foreclosure, housing, low-paying jobs, and criminal history. As a country, enough is not being done to end Homelessness, but Homelessness seems to increase due to unaffordable housing. Homeless people need health care, shelter, clothes, and food but must be treated as human beings.
There are several circumstances in which an individual or family may become homeless. A portion of Homelessness is caused by individuals with physical and mental disabilities. (CCBC Library) Due to the lack of health insurance, the homeless may suffer from malnutrition, disease and illness, exposure to crime, and weather conditions can contribute to poor health for the homeless. States have refused to expand their medical program, which leaves the low-income and homeless uninsured. Substance abuse also contributes to Homelessness; the lack of affordable housing and no remaining space in shelters forces individuals to live on the streets. Some areas do not allow the homeless to sleep, eat, be.

I. Health Problem.
I have chosen to complete my final project discussing Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). There are quite a few people that I know that are near and dear to my heart living with this virus. There are many misconceptions about HIV that the public has simply due to unawareness. With most common public health issues there are many questions that need to be answered to solve the myths. Mental health and substance use disorders can also make it difficult for people to take their medications as prescribed. When HIV is not treated or maintained, it can lead to the fatal diseases Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Of note, you cannot have AIDS without being infected with HIV. According to the Center for Disease Control, HIV can affect anyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, gender, or age (CDC, 2022). However, certain groups are at a higher risk for HIV and weigh special considerations due to the specific risk factors. Gay and Bisexual men, pregnant women, infants, children, Transgender people, people who exchange sex for money, people who inject drugs, etc. These are all considerations of the causes for higher risk for being affected by HIV. However, with the modern medicines and treatments for HIV, many have been known to live long and healthy lives.
II. Organization.
The organization that I have chosen is the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO was founded in 1948 and is the United Nations Agency that connects nations, partners, and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health (WHO, 2022). My role in this organization will be a Public Health Physician. WHO works closely with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Elimination of Mother-to Child Transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and pediatric AIDS and works with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on the integration of HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). WHO considers the epidemiological, technological, and contextual trends of previous years, promotes learning with each disease area, and generates opportunities to leverage innovations and knowledge for efficient responses to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Thanks to awareness and past research, WHO is able to provide a in depth analysis of the past and current trends of HIV and other STI through multiple platforms.

The document describes a 12-week program called "Bullied to Warrior Strong" that aims to empower victims of bullying. The program focuses on three areas: self-empowerment to build self-esteem, social skills training to overcome isolation, and physical fitness using a suspension training system. Students will keep journals and work towards transforming from victims to confident individuals through the support and accountability provided over the 12 weeks. The goal is to reduce the negative impacts of bullying by empowering victims to feel strong in themselves.

others in the course, reviewing others’ websites, and engaging
in reciprocal feedback for the purpose of expanding your ideas
and improving upon your website as you progress toward the
Final Project in Week Six.
Remember that the Instructor Guidance provides additional
instruction and resources to assist you with the weekly
assessments. Please be sure to review the Instructor Guidance.
As indicated, this week the discussions focus on sharing your
website with others and create a graphic comparing five factors
pertaining to homeless efforts in two major cities in the United
States; Chicago and New York. The assignment on Child
3. Maltreatment Policies involves creating an informational
brochure about child maltreatment on a national level and
forming an analysis of the child maltreatment policies in a state
of your choosing. The information shared in the Intellectual
Elaboration section below will help inform your work for this
week.
Intellectual Elaboration
“The first step towards change is awareness. The second step is
acceptance.” Matthew Branden
As we embark this week on our learning of two very serious
topics, child maltreatment and homelessness, consider the quote
above. Consider your role and responsibility in your current
and/or anticipated professional position. Awareness,
acceptance, and change are an integral part of what one can
expect to experience when working with children and families
at risk.
Child Maltreatment
View the Institute of Medicine’s (2014) approximately 2 minute
video New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect
Research (Links to an external site.)to learn about research in
child abuse and neglect. The information here will help inform
the work you do for this week’s assignment. Note that child
maltreatment continues to be a serious issue for the future of
America’s children.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there are
four types of maltreatment including emotional abuse, physical
abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect (Centers for Disease Control,
2014). While policies, programs, and resources exist for
preventing and treating child maltreatment, the level of support
is lacking while the demand for assistance has been steadily
increasing (Institute of Medicine, 2013).
4. Due to the impact of families in crises, the level of child
maltreatment has been an increasing problem. Even though the
extent of physical child abuse may be declining, the impact of
emotional child abuse and neglect presents an ever-increasing
problem (IOM, 2013). In fact, one of the most prevalent issues
is child neglect in regards to medicine, education, and food.
Think about the impact these issues have on school-aged
children and their ability to learn and achieve academic success.
Every state in the U.S has laws requiring certain professionals
to report concerns of child abuse or neglect. Such professionals
often include teachers, social workers, medical and mental
health professionals, and child care providers. Additionally,
specific procedures are typically established for mandated
reporters to make referrals to child protective services (Child
Welfare Information Gateway, 2014).
Professionals working with children and families who may be at
risk must be aware of what constitutes child maltreatment,
abuse, or neglect and understand the laws of their state for
mandatory reporting. Further, having knowledge of and access
to a variety of support systems and resources for children and
families is an essential part of one’s practice. Consider a second
quote, this time by Mahatma Gandhi; “Be the change that you
want to see in the world”. How can you spread awareness and
create change as it pertains to child maltreatment and neglect?
The assignment this week gives you the opportunity to exercise
this in a simple, yet potentially effective way.
A related issue to child maltreatment for children and families
at risk has been homelessness. Even families with full-time
jobs are not always able to provide adequate shelter or care for
their families. The result is a higher level of government
subsidies for housing and more families in homeless shelters.
Homelessness Defined
5. The face of homelessness in the United States is changing. As
such, the issue pertaining to homelessness in society as well as
consideration for homeless people must change. There are
several common and rather derogatory terms for someone who is
homeless. According to Joel John Roberts, CEO of People
Assisting the Homeless (PATH Partners), it is appropriate and
non-offensive to use the terms homeless Americans or simply,
homeless when describing one living on the streets (Poverty
Insights, May 29, 2012). Others find it more appropriate to put
the person before the condition and instead, refer to this
classification of people as one who is homeless. Regardless of
the terminology, children and families that are homeless are
prevalent in the United States and require support from
knowledgeable educators, medical providers, and social services
in order to thrive.
Varying definitions of homelessness
According to the National Health Care for the Homeless
Council, there is more than one “official” definition of
homelessness but health centers that are funded by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) define a
homeless individual as one “without permanent housing who
may live on the streets; stay in a shelter, mission, single room
occupancy facilities, abandoned building or vehicle; or in any
other unstable or non-permanent situation” (NHCHC, 2014).
The United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) classifies homelessness two ways;
chronically homeless and episodic or fluctuating homelessness.
HUD defines one who is chronically homeless as “a person
sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation (e.g. living
on the streets) or living in a homeless emergency shelter”
(2007, p.3). An episode of homelessness is “A separate,
distinct, and sustained stay on the streets and/or in a homeless
emergency shelter” (p.4).
6. Review the video from RT (2013) America's Working Destitute:
Full-Time Jobs, Yet Homeless (Links to an external site.). The
video is approximately three-minutes long and explores the
plight of Americans who are employed yet homeless.
Then, view the video from The Economist (2013) (Links to an
external site.)to further explore homelessness in the United
States.
Now, consider your impressions of what homelessness looks
like in America. Do your impressions align with either of the
images below? As the videos explain, the homeless have many
different voices and faces in the United States today.

Assessment Guidance
This section includes additional specific assistance for excelling
in the discussions and assignment for Week Three beyond what
is given with the instructions for the assessments. If you have
questions about what is expected on any assessment for Week
Three, contact your instructor using the Ask Your Instructor
discussion before the due date.
Discussion 1: Website Sharing and Feedback
This discussion is another opportunity to demonstrate your
mastery with the first two course learning outcomes:
“Distinguish groups and behaviors considered at risk” and
“Evaluate various resources and organizations that provide
information and support for families at risk.”
7. In Discussion 1, you will obtain feedback on your website
designed in the Week Two Assignment. Thus, you can continue
to refine your website based on the comments and suggestions
provided by fellow students in the class. By following the
direction provided in the Guided Response prompt, each student
should acquire specific feedback on both the content currently
represented in their website as well as observations and
suggestions regarding the overall website design and
organization.
Discussion 2: Tale of Two Cities and Homelessness
This discussion is an opportunity to demonstrate your mastery
with the third course learning outcome, “Examine social
services policies that support families at risk.” The purpose of
this discussion is to expose you to a variety of effective
resources for two diversely populated U.S. cities; Chicago and
New York and make comparisons between each regarding the
statistical data, and the policies, programs, and resources
available. Doing so will expand your current knowledge of the
issue of homelessness in the United States and guide you toward
making a recommendation to one of the cities for serving groups
and individuals that are homeless. You might also elect to
discuss a particular policy or resource you discovered during
your investigation that could potentially benefit a different city
in the U.S. such as the place in which you reside.
You will learn through this discussion that policies to support
youth homelessness vary by local, state, and federal programs
and resources. The potential for the uneven distribution of
assistance to the homeless youth or lack of resources can lead to
glaring problems in the care and the support with these policies.
For example, the homeless youth may or may not be able to
improve their situation based on the local, state, or federal
approaches.
8. Last, you will use your choice of software or digital tool
organize the information you glean from each of the resources
for both cities that are detailed in the Week Two Assignment
description. Since you are tasked with comparing and
contrasting between the two cities, you should create a graphic
organizer that supports this concept such as a Venn diagram.
When posting your response you will attach the graphic
organizer you create and add a 1-2 paragraph description.
Follow the Guided Response prompt so as to engage in critical
thinking with your peers as it pertains to the comparisons and
contrasts made from each city. Figure 1 below shows a simple
example of how a Venn diagram might be structured for this
assignment using the SmartArt tools in Microsoft Word.
Figure 1
Categories to compare and contrast include:
· Prevalence of youth homelessness (stats)
· Populations of homeless people (stats)
· Policies offering support
· Your choice of additional interesting and/or important
information you discovered
Assignment: Child Maltreatment Policies Brochure
This assignment is another opportunity to demonstrate your
mastery with the third course learning outcome, “Examine
social services policies that support families at risk.” The
purpose of this assignment is two-fold; first, to show what you
know about issues and resources pertaining to child
maltreatment, and second to communicate the information in
such a way as to reach people who may need the information.
As such, you have another opportunity to be creative by using a
digital software program of your choice to construct an
9. informative brochure on the subject. Think of places you
typically find brochures and the purpose they serve. Also,
consider the kinds of brochures that catch your eye and
ultimately provide you with the most essential information
needed. You will create a 3-panel, two-sided brochure so as to
include graphics and required information outlined in the
assignment overview. Figure 2 below shows an example of a 3-
panel brochure:
Figure 2
There are numerous related links within each website provided
in the assignment instructions that can provide even more
information to support your work as well as additional
recommended resources listed for this week. Consider these or
conduct a new search from your state of residence to add
information about the topic specifically pertaining to your state.
Ad Additionally, take note of the design of these websites
reviewed for this discussion and the features you enjoy about
the sites as this will further assist you with the website you are
creating.
Your finished brochure will also be included in your website
and later reviewed by fellow classmates during Week Five so as
to gain feedback for the purpose of improving your work in
preparation for the Final Project in Week Six.
