Assessment 2

Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination (POWER POINT WITH SPEAKER NOTES)

INSTRUCTION- Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.

INTRODUCTION– This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.

PREPARATION– It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.

Scenario

Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours.
· Homeless shelters.
· Local religious groups.
· Nursing homes.
· Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
· Research your selected community organization or support group.
· Review the 
Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.

· Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
· Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the final version for submission.

1.  Students with special gifts and talents may benefit from an inquiry-based learning approach for many reasons, but planning for and implementing inquiry learning may be taxing to teachers. Imagine you are a teacher talking with a colleague about inquiry-based learning. Your colleague does not think the benefits of the approach outweigh the challenges. What might you say to argue otherwise? 
2. Compare and contrast inquiry-based learning with other teaching approaches discussed in the video, such as reading to get information. Do you remember using inquiry-based learning in your elementary or middle school years? If so, what did you like about it? Was anything frustrating to you about the approach? If you didn’t use inquiry-based learning, do you think you would have liked it? Why or why not? 
1.   In this video, you will meet Amy, a gifted sixth-grade student who has both a visual and hearing impairment. Amy’s teacher, Mrs. Golliver, describes how she adapts her teaching style, as well as special permissions that Amy has in her classroom. List the modifications that Mrs. Golliver describes and appraise whether you think these modifications support Amy’s social development. 
2.  As you watch the video, take note of Amy’s skills and how she successfully participates in class. What are some ways that the teacher can effectively support all students as they welcome Amy into the classroom and help to support her accommodations?
Recall your experiences in middle school classrooms. Identify any needs you had as a student and whether you were supported in advocating for those needs. How might you promote students’ self-determination in your classroom?

Reply to at least two classmate’s posts, applying the RISE Model for Meaningful Feedback
I will also show an example below of how the response needs to be addressed.
Here’s an example of how the response should look. Please don’t copy it. 
The response to the classmate need to be just like this. 
Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are? 
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts. 
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…”  for a more weighted argument?

Classmate Response 1- Laura
What do you think is the most important characteristic of a school counselor? What’s the most essential characteristic school counselors have that supports a caring/supportive school climate for all students? 
One of the most important characteristics of a school counselor is empathy. Empathy allows school counselors to connect with and understand the diverse needs and experiences of their students. It enables them to genuinely listen, validate feelings, and provide support, creating a caring and supportive school climate for all students. Empathy helps school counselors build rapport, cultivate inclusivity, provide more effective support, and it encourages students to feel comfortable expressing their emotions. While there are other important characteristics, empathy in my option is a cornerstone characteristic for school counselors. In addition to empathy, communication skills are equally crucial for school counselors in creating a caring and supportive school climate. Effective communication involves not only listening with empathy but also conveying information, guidance, and encouragement clearly and compassionately. It enables counselors to establish strong rapport with students, parents, teachers, and administrators, facilitating collaboration and trust-building within the school community.

Classmate Response 2- Kayla
Describe experiences related to any of the following: School structure/program development. 
This week I got to be a part of a PLC meeting which is once or twice a month for counselors. For my district the school counselors do this in a zoom meeting with 3-4 other counselors that are at different sites but same level since at the elementary level we only have one counselor per site. A PLC is not a just a meeting; rather, it is a way to use a collaborative process that includes evaluating student data, establishing goals, reflecting on practice, discovering new tactics, and making plans for actions. First, we did a self check-in to see how the school year has been going and went over the agenda. Then each counselor shared a positive about something there doing at their school site. I appreciated how they all supported one another and weren’t afraid to talk about struggles, needing help, needing ideas and working together to find solutions. We also went over data and compared last year’s August to this year’s August of behavior incidents and students in tier 2 interventions. Our numbers had decreased while another sites sightly increased and we discussed possible reasons why and provided feedback for better outcomes. I really enjoyed this kind of team support especially when I am a first-year counselor to bounce ideas off of and gain from there experience/knowledge.
