Instructions:

Assemble a virtual “scrapbook album” (in the form of a PowerPoint presentation) consisting of items that are vivid illustrations of concepts or topics covered in the course.

Topics:  Some examples of possible entry topics:

  • Nature and nurture
  • Erikson’s stages of Psychosocial Development
  • A particular limitation in cognitive development (animism, childhood egocentrism, etc.)
  • An example of how someone with a problem (high school dropout, anorexia, infertility, abuser or abused, etc.) possesses predisposing factors, how the person coped with the problem, or how it impacted development
  • Gender role development at certain ages
  • Examples of aspects of language development at different stages of development (overextension, overregulation, etc.)
  • Demonstration of number or time concepts at certain ages

This is only a very limited list; many other possibilities exist!

  • Your virtual scrapbook could include articles, photographs, and cartoons from magazines and newspapers; lyrics from popular songs; scenes from movies, television shows; and other media. You may also describe personal experiences in your scrapbooks.
  • Your scrapbook must contain at least 10 separate entries. Every slide needs to have a citation from the book, as well as citation of multimedia used (picture, video, lyric, etc).
  • To encourage variety, you can have no more than two examples from a given medium (e.g., newspaper articles). To demonstrate relevance and student understanding, in the “Notes” section of each PowerPoint slide, each example must be accompanied by a one-paragraph explanation of which developmental topic, issue, controversy, or concept the scrapbook entry pertains to and why. For example, do not just say, “This movie clip is an example of identity vs. role confusion.” You must explain what it shows about identity vs. role confusion and/or how this is important to development.  Do not merely summarize an item you have included. Your grade will be based in part upon your ability to synthesize theory and apply it to the examples you have chosen. You must cite the source of each entry.
  • Use one PowerPoint slide for each topic. Each slide should include the specific topic (for example coping with death at specific stages of development) and the illustration of the topic (for example the song lyrics).  Make sure you cite your source.
  • In the notes section of each slide, include your paragraph explanation as well as citations of sources used on that particular slide.
  • The last slide of your presentation should be a reference page, citing all of the references used throughout the whole scrapbook.

Describe the statistical concepts (e.g., measures of central tendency, types of scores, indices of variability, correlations, types of distributions) that you would expect to use to analyze the results of the assessments selected for this plan. 

/in /by

Students will prepare a written assessment and evaluation protocol for the setting in which they intend to practice counseling. The paper will include a component where you will video record a discussion about the results of the assessment and describe your overall assessment plan. Please complete the following tasks:

a. Briefly describe the selected counseling setting, types of services provided, and the demographic characteristics of the clientele served.

b. Describe the types of testing you will use in your selected setting (e.g., norm referenced testing, group or individual assessments, standardized or non-standardized testing, environmental, observation) and select two specific assessments that you would use in your selected counseling setting given the population served.

c. Identify and describe how academic/educational, career, personal, and social development will inform the selection of the two assessments and the assessment process, as well as how you would use these assessments for diagnostic and treatment intervention purposes.

d. Describe how you will effectively prepare for and conduct the assessment meeting.

e. What procedures will you use for assessing risk to self or others?

f. Describe the statistical concepts (e.g., measures of central tendency, types of scores, indices of variability, correlations, types of distributions) that you would expect to use to analyze the results of the assessments selected for this plan.

g. What ethical and culturally relevant strategies will you use to select, administer, and interpret these assessments and test results? This will include confidentiality, informed consent, etc.

h. Administer one of the two assessments selected for this assessment plans to a classmate or a friend. Provide a summary of the administration process and a video recording of the post-assessment discussion session where you share the results of the assessment administered.

The two tools I was thinking in using for this assignment were Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. My target group would be 15 to 20 years old and African American.

This 10-page assignment will be completed in APA style format. Please include a title, abstract, and reference pages and use at least 4 references.
