Introduction: Communication Change Challenge (CCC)
This is your week to put into action what you have been learning regarding the communication challenge that you would like to change. You have put a plan in place, and now you will be implementing that plan. The goal is a successful change.

Project Timeline
The following is a breakdown of what will be covered in each part of the project:

Due

Description

Week 1

Selecting a communication goal and conducting research

Week 2

Describing communication pattern, analyzing goal, and developing a plan

Week 3

Implementation of the plan and evaluation of your progress

Part 1: Beginning of the Week (1 paragraph)
For this CCC, you should have chosen a person with whom you share regular communication. So, you should have a few occasions this week to apply your plan. Under this heading for your submission, write down what you project will be your opportunities to implement your plan. You need to be on the look-out for when you will be putting your plan into place.

Part 2: Middle of the Week (1-2 paragraphs)
In this section, you will describe the setting and people involved in your exchange that was your implementation of your CCC plan. Include enough details so that the process of the exchange is understood.

Part 3: End of the Week
Under this heading, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the process that you went through for your Communication Change Challenge. Use the following sub-section headings for your responses (see template). You will evaluate the impact of the project as it relates to interpersonal communication and the course objectives (COs). It is important here that you clearly demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts through application to your course project.

Remember that your patterns for communicating interpersonally have been developed over many years. Therefore, you should be neither surprised nor discouraged to find that changing your interpersonal communication behavior takes time. In order for you to take this project to its fullest potential, you may need to continue to modify, implement, and reinforce these new behaviors for far longer than the duration of the project. It is possible, however, to modify the way you communicate because the payoff is improvement to our communication and relationship outcomes. Changing interpersonal communication for the better is worth the effort.

3A. Topic Selection Reflection (1 paragraph)
What course material did you use to help guide your particular communication change? Cite the information you found helpful as you write your paragraph summary of texts used.

3B. Implementation Analysis: Satisfaction (1 paragraph)
Consider the implementation of your new approach to communication and share which of your communication changes particularly pleased you?

3C. Implementation Analysis: Dissatisfaction (1 paragraph)
Consider the implementation of your new approach to communication and share which of your communication changes particularly displeased you.

3D. Implementation Analysis: Additional Changes (1 paragraph)
Consider the implementation of your new approach to communication and share which of your communication changes you still want to work on.

Note: For each section, be detailed and specific. You need to use several course materials from different chapters, course outcomes, videos, assessments, articles, etc. Your course project evaluation will be graded for comprehensive content, analysis evaluation, application of the course material, organization, and so forth. Please consider its weight when you place value on its importance to your final course grade.

In this discussion we  will apply those concepts to the review and critique of a research  article. For information on how to critique a research article, see the  Coughlan et al. (2007) and UIS (n.d.) guides listed in the Required  Readings for this week.

Read the following article.

  • Lee, M., & Johnson, T. E. (2008). Understanding the effects of  team cognition associated with complex engineering tasks: Dynamics of  shared mental models, Task-SMM, and Team-SMM. Performance Improvement  Quarterly, 21 (3), 73-95. doi: 10.1002/piq.20032

In the body of your posting, include an overview of the following topics:

  • Research question – List the research question for the study.
  • Hypotheses – List the statistical notation and written explanations for the null and alternative hypotheses for the study.
  • Methods and Study Design – Describe the basic methods used, including the variables, sampling methods, data collection, etc.
  • Data Analysis – Summarize the statistical tests conducted, the  results obtained from each test, and conclusions regarding the  hypotheses.

Do not use any numbers or statistical terms, but provide a  review that would make sense to someone who has not studied research  methods or statistics.

Down syndrome or other genetic disorder

PART 1: CREATE YOUR PARENTING CASE   STUDY TOPIC

Using the planning table provided   below, you will create a case study on a parenting topic of interest to you.   Throughout the course you will conduct research on this topic, culminating in   a Parenting Action Plan that proposes solutions to resolve your case.

Step 1: Select a scenario that may   be a cause for concern in parents.

You may use the list below or   identify a scenario of your own with the permission of the instructor. Write   your scenario of interest into the planning table provided below.

List of Scenarios

  • Sleeping        arrangements for newborn
  • Immunizations        for children
  • Bedwetting
  • Breastfeeding        older children
  • Special        needs, such as:
  • Down        syndrome or other genetic disorder
  • Learning        disabilities
  • Autism
  • Attention        deficit with hyperactivity disorder
  • Physical-motor        disability
  • Language        delay, speech, related issues
  • Teen        pregnancy
  • Alcohol        and substance abuse in teens
  • Relationship        problems in teens, dating, inappropriate, and/or risk-taking behavior
  • Mental        health issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders)
  • Behavioral        issues in younger children
  • Behavioral        issues in teens
  • Parental        conflict and argument
  • Military        deployment
  • Grandparents        raising grandchildren
  • Adoption/foster        parenting
  • Racial        and cultural issues in parenting -Tiger moms, immigrant children, LGBTQ,        biracial identity, religion
  • Older        child parenting and emerging adulthood (age 18-21)
  • Use        of media-cellphones, tablets, etc.
  • Impact        of domestic violence
  • Bullying,        cyberbullying
  • Stepfamilies
  • Impact        of divorce
  • Choosing        daycare, preschool
  • Healthy        diet, eating disorders
  • College/postsecondary        readiness

Step 2: Select an age group to   which the scenario applies.

After picking your scenario,   select an age group (see planning table below) that you would be interested   in learning more about. For example, if you are interested in “choosing   daycare” as a topic, are you interested in daycare for infants, toddlers, or school-aged   children? Note that your scenario may not make sense for some age groups. For   example, you probably would not be interested in learning about daycare   options for an 18-year-old.

Step 3: Select a socioeconomic   status for your scenario.

Determine whether your scenario   will apply to a family of lower, middle or upper socioeconomic status (SES)   (see planning table below). SES can profoundly impact access to resources   which, in turn, can impact outcomes. It is important to know what services   are available and who can access them.

Step 4: Family composition.

Using the planning table below,   identify at least two details about the composition of the family. Who is   living in the home? How many generations live in the home? What is the   marital status of the parents? Are there siblings? Family composition can be   a source of strength as well as a source of stress. Use this section to flesh   out the details of the family in your scenario.

Step 5: Identify the type of issue   in your scenario.

Use the planning table to identify   the type of issue(s) present in your scenario. Check all that you think could   apply. This will help you to figure out where you can find information on   your topic. For example, if you are dealing with a topic like behavioral   issues that emerge in a child after military deployment of a parent, you   might start looking for research in psychology journals that deal with   military families, like “Military Family Therapy.”

Step 6: Identify possible sites of   impact for addressing your scenario.

Using the planning table, identify   possible sites of impact for your scenario. For example, if you are   interested in “choosing daycare,” you would probably select “daycare” as a   site of impact, but you might also select “home” if you are interested in how   daycare impacts behavior in the home. You might also select “school,” if you   think the quality of daycare has an impact on academic performance.

Step 7: Identify potential   solutions to address your scenario.

Using the planning table, check   off the potential solution(s) that could form the basis of your parenting   action plan.

Instructions: Choose   and write down your topic and ideas about: The topic/title, why you think it   is important, and where you think you will look for resources.

Use the Planning Table below   to create your chosen topic. Each section of the table below may be used to   narrow down the specifics of your research paper. Each section will help to   get you thinking about the aspects of your action plan. In the example below,   the sections of the table appear in parenthesis to exemplify how these   sections relate to your topic choice. Please note that these sections form a   part of the final paper write up, and as such can be used while writing up   your final paper.

STEP 8: Crafting your parenting   case study.

Write a parenting case study that   incorporates all of the information in the planning table (Steps 1-6). Your   case study should be 1-2 paragraphs in length. You may want to add details   now or as your research progresses to make your case study more interesting.

Example:

The current case study involves a   child with significant learning disabilities who is 8 years old and from a   middle-class socioeconomic status background. The child has a 10-year-old   sister with no known learning disabilities or behavioral issues. Parents   recently separated, but both parents are actively involved with the children.   A parenting action plan will be developed to address the child’s problems   with schoolwork. I will discuss the case in the context of home and school   (i.e. sites of impact), providing solutions that may include a home plan to   address the parental separation as well as special programs in school and   community supports (i.e. potential solutions).

The Petrakis Family

A logic model is a tool that can be used in planning a program. Using a logic model, social workers can systematically analyze a proposed new program and how the various elements involved in a program relate to each other. At the program level, social workers consider the range of problems and needs that members of a particular population present. Furthermore, at the program level, the logic model establishes the connection between the resources needed for the program, the planned interventions, the anticipated outcomes, and ways of measuring success. The logic model provides a clear picture of the program for all stakeholders involved.

To prepare for this Assignment, review the case study of the Petrakis family, located in this week’s resources. Conduct research to locate information on an evidence-based program for caregivers like Helen Petrakis that will help you understand her needs as someone who is a caregiver for multiple generations of her family. You can use the NREPP registry. Use this information to generate two logic models for a support group that might help Helen manage her stress and anxiety.

First, consider the practice level. Focus on Helen’s needs and interventions that would address those needs and lead to improved outcomes. Then consider the support group on a new program level. Think about the resources that would be required to implement such a program (inputs) and about how you can measure the outcomes.

Submit the following:

  • A completed practice-level logic model outline (table) from the Week 7 Assignment handout
  • A completed program logic model outline (table) in the Week 7 Assignment Handout
  • Introduction
  • 2–3 paragraphs that elaborate on your practice-level logic model outline. Describe the activities that would take place in the support group sessions that would address needs and lead to improved outcomes
  • 2–3 paragraphs that elaborate on your program-level logic model and address the following:
    • Decisions that would need to be made about characteristics of group membership
    • Group activities
  • Short- and long-term outcomes
    • Ways to measure the outcomes
  • Conclusion

Read the following section:  “The Petrakis Family”

Conflict Resolution Scenario

Conflict Resolution Scenario

In Week 2 you proposed how you would build your own team. Now, your newly formed team is starting to work on its first real project that needs to have strong collaboration and a quick turnaround. However, your team has encountered the following challenges:

One team member doesn’t agree with the goal and keeps questioning the processes.

Two team members are having a personal conflict, and this is preventing them from collaborating on the project.

One team member is not engaged.

Create a 6- to 8-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, reflecting on your experience completing the Conflict Resolution Scenario. Remember to add speaker notes to support your main points. Speaker notes should be a minimum of 50 to 150 words per slide.

Answer the following questions in your presentation:

What were your choices for managing the conflict on your team?

What strategies did you employ to encourage collaboration and build consensus within a team? Are these strategies that you typically employ when confronted with a conflict? Why or why not?

How can you keep all employees on your team engaged? Provide examples.

What strategies from the multimedia piece best suit your current skill set? Why?

conflict management

After focusing on what teams are and how they form in the first two weeks of the course, this week’s focus is team dynamics. Team cohesion is an important part of an effective team, and this week we will discuss ways to develop shared knowledge, values, effective communication, and consensus. We will also examine conflict management and learn some ways to navigate through the inevitability of team conflict.

For this week’s discussion, consider the learning activities you’ve completed and your own experience within a team.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Share a time that you experienced conflict within a team.

What strategies did you and your team members use to manage and resolve the conflict? Were these strategies successful? Why or why not?

How could you apply the strategies presented this week to reach a more effective outcome?
