Briefly discuss two strategies Juan’s teachers and school can use to help him master coping skills and build resiliency.

Juan’s dad has been in the military for many years. Juan is ten years old but, due to multiple deployments, Juan’s family moved three times before he was eight. Each time it has become harder for Juan to adjust to new schools, friends and neighbors.

  • Prior to the last move, Juan was very attached to his teachers and friends at his last school.
  • He excelled academically and was very active in after-school activities.
  • Since the last move, Juan has had difficulty sleeping and completing homework.
  • He is withdrawn and does not want to attend school anymore.
  • He is afraid to make friends or get close to his new teachers for fear he will “just have to leave them as well.”
  • His father, Samuel, sustained a traumatic brain injury while on his last deployment and his behavior and personality has changed. Juan feels like he does not recognize his father’s behavior.
  • Samuel currently drinks to excess and often argues with Juan’s mother, Eileen.
  • Sometimes, Samuel leaves the house and disappears for several days at a time.
  • Samuel has threatened to kill himself or Eileen.
  • Juan has witnessed Samuel knocking his mother to the ground on several occasions.

Now you have a meeting with Juan’s teacher and school administrators to decide how to help him to succeed academically and socially and how the family could be helped.

Case Questions to answer based upon your role:

  1. Briefly discuss two strategies Juan’s teachers and school can use to help him master coping skills and build resiliency.
  2. Name one service or program that child welfare can provide to Juan’s family that will help stabilize the family.
  3. Explain your choices.

Determine whether or not you believe that failure is an integral part of life that contributes to leadership effectiveness.

As you grow into a leadership or management position, you are not only responsible for your behavior, but also the behavior of your team members. It is especially important that you and your team are exposed to the idea of failure and how it relates directly to leadership.

Many people avoid situations in which they might fail. Other individuals fear failure so much they will not take a risk or have an opinion other than what the group wants. There is an old adage that says, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

Select a leader in business, sports, management, or government and plan a short 20-minute interview. The interview may be over the phone or in person.

Suggested interview questions:

  • What can be learned by failing?
  • You seem pretty confident and successful. Have you ever exposed your team to the idea of failure to prepare them for consequences if the wrong choices are made?
  • What can be learned by failing?
  • In what ways does failure affect success?
  • What do you think is the value of failure?
  • How can having a failure change the way you make decisions or do business in the future? How?
  • Some leaders seem to always make the right decisions and therefore experience a lot of success. How can too much success interfere with creativity?
  • What if we could design a controlled failure system for work that could tap creativity without causing fear or stress?

Discuss two (2) major constraints in conducting an evaluation on this program and a method of addressing them.

Assignment 1 is the first part of a five-part project to plan the various elements of a program evaluation for education. Select a program target from your school district, workplace, (e.g., business training program) or your university (where you are a student). For you to gain the most from the assignment, you should select a program that you are interested in, would like to see evaluated, and are able to obtain information about. (Possible programs include: student assessment, teacher assessment, pay for student achievement, new teacher or employee training, online classrooms, anti-bullying, gender equity for girls in math and science, school to work, retention of at-risk students, and schools of choice (charter schools), etc.). As you develop the entire plan, gather information, and receive feedback from your professor (or others), you should revise and refine each part of the project. Think of your professor as your project evaluator and supervisor who will help guide you so that you produce an outstanding, well-developed evaluation plan for the stakeholders.

Write a  paper in which you:

  1. Describe three (3) elements of a worthy object for program evaluation – its type, the department administrating it, and target population.
  2. Describe the program’s history, primary purpose(s), and / or expected outcomes.
  3. Explain three (3) reasons for selecting the program (e.g., program’s value or lack of it, issues surrounding it, age, relevance, cost, impact on students, etc.).
  4. Discuss three (3) advantages of evaluating the program at this time.
  5. Discuss two (2) major constraints in conducting an evaluation on this program and a method of addressing them.
  6. Use at least three (3) peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and many Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Peer-reviewed academic resources refer to articles and scholarly journals that are reviewed by a panel of experts or peers in the field. Review the video titled Research Starter: Finding Peer-Reviewed References for more information on obtaining peer-reviewed academic resources through your Blackboard course shell.
