Caine is a 9-year-old boy whose afterschool and weekend project turned into an international imagination movement. As the video explains, Caine built a gaming arcade almost entirely out of cardboard and opened it up for business in the storefront of his fathers auto parts store. This story provides an excellent example of how characteristics of Caines personal identity might affect how and what he learned from the specific experiences portrayed. The video story identifies the cultural values that nurtured Caines curiosity and inventiveness, and you can readily analyze the factors contributing to his funds of knowledge going into the project. After viewing Caines amazing story, reflect on the different skills he learned and applied as he completed his project, and consider how his personal identity shaped, and was shaped by, his amazing experiences. To help you better understand the underlying influences affecting Caines learning experiences, read Chapter 7 of your primary text.

This chapter presents information and examples associated with how social class can have an influence on student achievement and behavior in school. You also need to read the article by Moll, Amanti, Neff, and Gonzales (1992) regarding about how family and cultural backgrounds impact students and their families.

Initial Post: View the video and construct an initial discussion post that addresses the following questions:

  • What external factors influenced Caines ability to successfully create his arcade (e.g., what role did his father play in encouraging his project?)?
  • What internal factors influenced Caines ability to successfully create his arcade? Consider his world view, values, and funds of knowledge as internal factors.
  • How valuable do you think these skills are in the real world? How well do they align with one or more of the 21st-century skills identified on the web page?

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates posts. In your responses, comment on any similarities or differences between your response and those of your peers. Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. This will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.

Program Development for a Government Agency

As a human services leader, you are aware, through direct or indirect work, of a government agency’s unique context of practice. Developing a program within a government agency presents its unique challenges and resources.

This paper will give you the opportunity to practice how to develop a program within a government agency. This program should address the social problem and unmet community need you previously identified in the Unit 5 assignment (u05a1), regarding your local community. Utilizing your needs assessment information, you will provide a rationale for the need for this program and describe how it will meet this need.

Since good program design comes with strong program evaluation, you will also determine an appropriate program evaluation strategy for your program. The government program that you, as a civil servant, design must address issues of diversity and inclusion and maintain ethical standards. To further validate and support your proposal, you will use reputable sources.

Recognizing the unique resources and context of a government agency, develop a program to address the need you presented in your community needs assessment (in Unit 5). Highlight key components of the community needs assessment that support the need for the new program, and address how the new program addresses this need. In the proposal, include an appropriate strategy for program evaluation. Integrate ethics, as well as issues of diversity and inclusion. Support your proposal with the required course readings and other reputable sources.

To complete this assignment successfully, be sure to address the following:

  • Design a program within a government agency to address your previously identified (u05a1) community need.
  • Determine an appropriate program evaluation type for this program.
  • Present how the program integrates accessible and culturally sensitive approaches to address issues of diversity and inclusion.
  • Examine ethical considerations in developing and implementing this government program.

Support your paper with the required readings and other reputable sources.

Instructions

As the administrator of a research-focused healthcare organization, you are part of a research team that provides statistical consultation to providers and staffs conducting quantitative research in your organization. In preparation to conduct statistical analyses for several study hypotheses, a team of researchers approached you for guidance on the appropriate statistical test for the four different hypotheses before them. Based on these hypotheses (four scenarios below) what statistical test will you recommend and why?

Scenario 1:

For hypothesis 1, the researchers are interested in assessing the relationship between an outcome variable (continuous) and an explanatory variable (categorical) where the explanatory variable is binary. What statistical test will you recommend for them and why?

Scenario 2:

For hypothesis 2, the researchers are interested in assessing the relationship between an outcome variable (continuous) and an explanatory variable (categorical) where the explanatory variable has three or more categories. What statistical test will you recommend for them and why?

Scenario 3:

For hypothesis 3, the researchers are interested in assessing the relationship between an outcome variable (continuous) and an explanatory variable (continuous). What statistical test will you recommend for them and why?

Scenario 4:

For hypothesis 4, the researchers are interested in assessing the relationship between an outcome variable (categorical) and an explanatory variable (categorical) where at least one of the variables has more than two levels. What statistical test will you recommend for them and why?
