  For this assignment, imagine that you are a first-year school counselor who has the opportunity to promote the college- and career-going culture of your school. Refer to the media activity, Blooming Park: College and Career Readiness (linked in Resources) for the information you will need to complete this assignment. Note: Choose one Blooming Park school—the elementary, middle, or high school. During a meeting with your principal, you reviewed school data and the results from a recent needs assessment that clearly identified a lack of knowledge, collaboration, and stakeholder support related to college and career readiness. Based on the assessment data and your role as a school counselor, you immediately recognized the need for increased consultation with colleagues to promote equity in college access and career readiness for all students. Your principal enthusiastically agreed to give you 15 minutes to present during an upcoming faculty in-service. As a school counselor, you are excited to teach your colleagues about career development theory and models of P–12 comprehensive career development to promote the college and career going culture of your school! Develop a PowerPoint presentation to disseminate essential college- and career-readiness information to your faculty colleagues. While planning your presentation, keep your audience in mind—your colleagues have been trained as educators rather than school counselors. It is important for your presentation to convey your mastery of the subject matter while presenting it in a way that would be easily understood by your colleagues who are not experts in the field.

Application: Design-Build Floods, storms, landslides, earthquakes, and many other types of natural disasters can leave an affected area without the ability to evacuate or to receive needed provisions. For example, transportation was severely limited on the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina due to the destruction of major highways and bridges. Several communities became "islands" due to the destruction of these bridges. Because people could not leave or receive needed materials and goods, a different approach was applied to re-building the highways and bridges there. Design/Build was the process used, and this provided for the quick rebuilding of three major bridges. This process contrasts with Design/Bid/Build and combines the design, permit, and construction into one overlapping process. Design/Build involves hiring the same designer/contractor to oversee a project's design, bid, and construction. This process was so successful in Mississippi that the first bridge built, the St. Louis Bay Bridge, won an America Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Transportation Award in 2007. Might this same process be applied to disaster recovery when re-establishing communication, business and industry, housing, and human services? To prepare for this assignment: Review Chapter 9 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, and think about challenges to organizational learning in crisis management and how you might address them. Review the article, "What is Design-Build?," and focus on the strategies involved in the design-build model and the challenges that might be presented by it. Think about the importance of keeping cultural and social justice considerations in mind when developing a design-build model. Use the natural disaster you chose for Week 8 or choose a different one, other than Hurricane Katrina, and research the demographics for the area where the disaster occurred. Think about the various cultures involved and challenges there might be regarding languages or traditions. Review the article, "Design-Build Effectiveness Study," and think about how the concept of design-build can be applied to the natural disaster you chose. Review Table 9-2 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, and think about the new learning areas related to the natural disaster you chose. Keep the natural disaster you chose in mind as you review the article, "The Dirty Dozen: Twelve Failures of the Hurricane Katrina Response and How Psychology Can Help." Think about ways to avoid the failures presented in the article. Review the discussions related to grief and loss in Chapter 12 of your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, and think about how they might impact the survivors of the natural disaster you chose. Review the article, "Social Justice Advocacy: Community Collaboration and Systems," and think about related issues as they apply to the natural disaster you chose. Review the PBS video, "The Journal: Katrina Recovery Gone Wrong," and think about how programs like the STEPS program might effect design/build strategies. Consider ways to incorporate cultural and social justice consideration solution strategies into your design/build plan. The assignment: (4 page paper APA Format) Briefly describe the natural disaster you chose. Be sure to include a brief description of the demographics of the area and references for information used. Describe ways you would address multicultural and social justice issues related to rebuilding and recovery. Describe and justify "design/build" strategies for the natural disaster you chose.

   Discussion: Challenges in Micro Work Working effectively with individuals means building relationships. As a social worker, there are certain qualities, such as empathy, warmth, and genuineness, that help you develop rapport with clients. However, even when you appropriately utilize your micro skills, rapport building can be difficult with some clients. Challenges may include client hostility, silence, a request for self-disclosure, or the necessity of using confrontation. Social workers need to develop skills to appropriately work through these challenges. For this Discussion, you begin developing these skills through practice and analysis of practice. To prepare: Watch the Parker video. In the video, the clients express hostility toward each other, as well as toward the social worker. In addition, Stephanie asks the social worker for self-disclosure when she asks, “Wouldn’t you?” and “You really think you can fix that?” The scene ends with the client and social worker falling into silence. Consider the challenges depicted in the video. How would you respond? By Day 3 Post: Explain when it would be appropriate to use self-disclosure. Provide a specific example of the type of self-disclosure you might use in this scenario. Identify an interviewing technique you learned from this week’s resources that you would use when working with this client. Provide a specific example of the interviewing technique. For example, if you would use an empathetic statement or an open-ended question to elicit information, provide a specific example of the statement or question that you would use. Explain why you would use this technique. Support your post with citations to the course text to demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts. As the course progresses, you will be expected to cite using APA. Required Readings Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr. (2018). Understanding generalist practice (8th ed.).
