Assignment: Community Assessment

Imagine that you have identified an issue within your community and are going to do a needs assessment.

Create a detailed outline that you will use to compose a letter that explains the selected community needs assessment tool to your community.

Address the following in your outline:

• Identify an issue in your community that the needs assessment will be focusing on and provide a brief history of the problem.
• Describe the necessary steps in the planning process for determining which needs assessment tool will be used.
• Explain the assessment tool that will be used.
• Discuss the plans for implementing the needs assessment tool
• Your summative assignment for this course is a Final Paper, which is due in Week Five.  To ensure that you have time to process the material and produce a strong paper, you will create an outline your Final Paper and an annotated bibliography for submission this week. You will receive feedback on your outline and annotated bibliography to help you make your Final Paper more effective.  To begin, review the instructions for your Final Paper, which are listed in Week Five of your course or in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide.
  Next, select one of the following research topics for your Final Paper:
  Is corporal punishment needed to discipline children?
  Does violence in the media contribute to violent behavior in children?
  What techniques have professionals used to treat insomnia and how effective are those treatments?
  What does research show about the effectiveness of the major techniques for promoting weight loss?
  Are intelligence and personality stable across adulthood and into old age?
  Then, review the PSY101 Outline and Annotated Bibliography Template, which contains the layout for this week’s assignment.  Your outline must be one to two pages in length.  Clearly identify the topic selected, and include major headings for the areas to be considered.  The major areas include:
  • A well-written introduction and conclusion with a      succinct thesis statement.
  • Summarize your sources and analyze the findings from      your research.
  • Discuss the key issues and controversies surrounding      your selected topic.
  • Identify a variety of perspectives on the selected      topic, so that the discussion is balanced and not one-sided.
  • Distinguish how cognitive and behavioral implications      might play a role in your selected topic.  What learning principles      could factor in with the topic?  What theories of motivation and      personality could influence your insights into the topic?
  • Analyze any additional research that could be done in      the future and provide solutions that could be implemented in the present      regarding your selected topic.

  Under each major heading, summarize your point about that heading.  Subheadings should briefly summarize research that may both support and disagree with each viewpoint, if applicable.  This outline will form your roadmap for creating your Final Paper.
