In each week of this course, you will research and select three (15) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to develop an annotated bibliography that you can use in your Doctoral Study. You will need to take the three sources and synthesize the references into a single narrative annotated bibliography that compares/contrasts or supports your study. For example, you may develop three references that will fit into the Nature of the Study (or any other component) and then the synthesized version will help you in developing your Prospectus/Proposal. Please see this week’s Learning Resources for the Sample Annotated Bibliography Template, which you should use to complete your annotated bibliography.

Description of Assignment Provide an assessment of behavior for the case of your choice from Chapters 7,8,9,10 or Dasani case for the following areas: physical environment (Chapter 7), culture (Chapter 8), one social institution (Chapter 9), and family (Chapter 10) dimensions. Include a genogram of the case's family and an ecomap which illustrates their external relationships. Include 1) an APA style title page, 2) a short introduction that provides an overview of your paper, 3) headings to delineate each section, 4) a conclusion that addresses the reflection questions below, and 5) in-text citations and an APA style reference page. This paper should be 8 – 10 pages in total, not including the title page, reference page, and assessment tools. For the environmental, cultural, institutional, and family assessment: Summarize one theory or concept of your choice from each chapter. Assess/describe the case of your choice or Dasani from the “Invisible Child” case study (link on Canvas) from each perspective. The purpose of this assessment is to connect the theories you’ve learned from these chapters to this real-life example, so your paper should refer to both and explain the connections you see. Please note that you are NOT asked to provide a diagnosis or recommend interventions for the case/Dasani in this paper. You should focus on describing the case through the lens of each of the theories you have chosen, assessing the case as objectively as possible. Focus on the question “what is happening in this situation?” vs. “what should happen?” or “what would I do in this situation?” Answer these reflection questions in your conclusion: What have you learned about yourself and your own behavior from writing this assessment and studying the theories/concepts you chose? What have you learned about your own writing/study skills through writing these assessments so far?

Professional Dispositions and Behaviors Part 1: Personal and Professional Traits List Compile a list of personal and professional traits you must display to maintain professionalism as a school counselor. Consider both your areas of strength and areas for growth in developing your list. Reflect on the areas of development you will focus on during your practicum to foster your growth and development as a school counselor. These areas of growth can be generated from the ASCA School Counselor Self-Assessment of the Delivery Competencies Part IV, ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards & Competencies Self-Assessment assignment and the Professional Dispositions: Survey and video assignment, both found in Topic 4 of SCN-501. Part 2: Reflection After compiling the list of professional and personal traits, write a 500-750-word reflection and address the following: Discuss your identified professional and personal traits informed by ASCA’s School Counselor Professional Standards & Competencies and GCU’s Professional Dispositions of Learners. You should identify a minimum of three strengths and three areas of growth. Explain how you will build upon your areas of strength during your practicum experience. Read the “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work.” Explain how a school counselor with the Christian worldview might build upon areas of strengths to develop a professional identity. How might faith diversity factor into this process? Identify concrete action-oriented steps to assist you in your areas for growth. Explain how advocacy and leadership play a role in your professional identity development as a school counselor in training. Describe ways your site supervisor and course instructor can help you further develop your professional identity as a school counselor in training.

We covered a number of important concepts related to Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management. For this assignment, you are asked to create a PowerPoint Presentation that presents an overview of these main concepts to present at a webinar for a fictitious not-for-profit organization that promotes industrial process pollution prevention across the United States, focusing on industry and community management of hazardous waste. You have agreed to help them. Please create a presentation of at least 13 slides that cover the following main topics below. Describe attributes of hazardous and solid waste, including the four characteristics that render a solid waste hazardous. Explain the impact of toxic substances on human populations. Identify laws to reduce impacts of environmental hazards on human populations. Summarize the development of solid waste regulation in the U.S., including RCRA and its amendments, CERCLA, Clean Water Act, Pollution Prevention Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Describe the Hazardous Waste Identification Process, as put forth by EPA. The role of risk assessment in building partnerships between industry and the public, regarding industrial waste. The slide count does not include the title slide or the reference slides. Your slides should utilize bullet points. Do not include full paragraphs of written text as this is not conducive to a good presentation. Please use the slide notes function on the slides to add supplementary notes and information that you would use to aid you in your presentation. You must use at least two sources to support your presentation, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

please respond to Bernie. Hey class! I am fortunate that I do not have to use any of the treatment technologies that were discussed in our materials for this week…either at home or at work! When I was in the mining industry though, we used limestone pretty extensively to treatment mining affluent / tailings and water used in or portions of the processing cycle. This was covered in our reading on the “physiochemical technologies” which combines physical and chemical processes such as the two given examples given, air stripping and carbon absorption. Mine tailings were captured or transported to designated areas (this was highly regulated) where they continue to be treated until it was deemed safe for the “reclamation” process to begin. Reclamation is where we try to erase some of the scars left by the mining process through replanting and restoration. Some areas were even turned into state lakes and recreation areas. Other water used in the process cycle would need to meet certain requirements before being discharged into local rivers or streams (again, also highly regulated!). Limestone was so important to the process of treatment, that I saw supply chain issues even shut some mine sites down in cases where limestone deliveries were delayed for whatever reason. The craziest example I can think of to share is that of mine tailings being disposed of into the ocean (See picture below). I will admit that it took me awhile to wrap my head around this concept. What I came to learn is that in addition to the permitting that was required with local governments, extensive testing requirements were also required of the surrounding water and environment, including wildlife. The permits defined the maximum allowable amounts of given substances and the company faced heavy fines if there was any deviation from those established amounts. Despite permits and educating the public, these types of practices are still looked at by many groups, such as NGOs, in a negative light. This emphasizes the importance of understanding environmental impacts and ensuring highly-effective controls are in place.

Please read and follow all directions.  How have your perspectives on the history and present of carceral health, science and technology shifted, if at all? How about the potential for other practices of science to reckon with its violent history, help identify problems, shift power dynamics, and mitigate harms? Has it changed what abolitions is or should be to you? Sources have been dropped in the files section.
