Description Acting as the new principal of your school, and incorporating your Clinical Field Experience information, develop an original student code of conduct that aligns to the school's vision and mission, promotes every student's academic and social success, and establishes a positive learning environment conducive to protecting students and school personnel. Include the following sections in your Student Code of Conduct: Background: A brief description of the school, including grade level range, student and staff numbers, and geographic location such as rural, urban, or suburban. Student Code of Conduct Values Statement: A one-page outline describing specific school values that promote positive behaviors and a school culture that align to the school’s vision and mission. Include a list of 4-5 specific behavioral expectations for all students (e.g., “All students will respect the rights of others.”).

Description Setting clear behavioral expectations and having a plan to respond should those expectations not be met are both essential to establishing a positive school culture. Articulating those carefully crafted behavioral expectations to members of the school community is integral to students’ success in meeting them. Equally important is having a plan to support students who have challenges demonstrating the expected behaviors.       Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience. Comprehensively review and evaluate your school's student code of conduct and discipline management plan in terms of how they both promote student success and ensure social justice, equity, confidentiality, cultural diversity, acceptance, and respect between and among students, faculty, and staff within the school. Determine how the student code of conduct and discipline management plan are communicated and administered by interviewing 2-3 staff members and reviewing any additional documents and artifacts. Use any remaining field experience hours to observe or assist the principal mentor.

Prader-Willi Syndrome Narcolepsy Korsakoff's Syndrome Schizophrenia Spectrum Huntington's Disease Parkinson's Disease Balint's Syndrome Turner's Syndrome Klinefelter's Syndrome Tourette's Syndrome It is important to note that this is not simply a summary review paper. Instead, you will use the required scholarly literature to support a discussion of specific areas, as outlined below, within the chosen topic. The paper will include a literature review and discuss your selected topic's biological/genetic treatments. At least three scholarly sources should be used, and those sources must be within five years and newer. This paper must be written through a biological lens. Meaning a discussion of the genetic/biological origin and treatments is required. Do not include non-biologically based treatment methods such as counseling, therapy, support groups, etc. The below areas are the required subheadings that must be included within your paper. Thesis Statement: This statement will address how your audience will interpret the significance of your topic and assignment (a few sentences).  Topic: Discuss the selected disorder's relevance (half to one page). History: A history (historical perspective) of the topic (one to two pages). The history portion of the paper should be brief and relevant to the purpose of the paper. Epigenetic Causes: A detailed explanation of the epigenetic (genetic and environmental) etiology (cause) of the chosen topic (one to two pages). Symptoms and treatments: A detailed discussion of the chosen topic's symptoms and biological/genetic treatments (two to four pages). Evaluation: A critical evaluation and summation of three new (no older than five years) research articles on the chosen topic (one to two pages). This makes a total of six source articles. Three in the beginning and three for the evaluation. Synthesis: Brief synthesis and conclusion of the material (one page). Conclusion: The final piece of the assignment summarizes your entire work (minimum of two paragraphs). 

Description Use either the example adult or child intake form below to conduct a mock semi-structured interview with a volunteer (e.g. friend, family member). This volunteer should create a fictional person as whom they will be responding. If you choose to use the child intake form, the volunteer does not have to be a child. If the volunteer is a child, please make sure that they are aware that they are to provide fictional responses. No true personal health information is to be used for this assignment. While conducting the interview, use the form as a guide, but allow flexibility in the order in which you gather the information and the ways in which you ask the questions. The best interviews are conversational in nature, rather than a strict back and forth set of questions and responses. Remember to use open-ended questions, reflective listening, and statements such as those in the text or seen in the videos designed to elicit more information and keep the conversation going. Be as detailed and thorough as possible in the info you gather, especially for background information and family history. You will need this information for your final assessment. After completing the interview and the form, write a short summary of your experience. Discuss what it was like to try using only open-ended questions (easy? hard?), how comfortable you felt overall, and how comfortable you think the interviewee felt. What challenges do you see arising with an actual client that were not present with the volunteer? What would be easier about interviewing a real client? Additionally, keep track of your interviewee’s behavior during the interview so that you may include relevant behavioral observations (e.g. distractibility, tone/volume of voice, hesitance to respond, emotions, and even physical presentation, etc) in the report you will write for your final assignment. You will use both the behavioral observations and information you gather during the interview in your final report. Again, be as detailed and thorough as possible.
