As you work thorough this project remember Effective goals are manageable. Sometimes a goal can seem overwhelming because of its size. But if it is divided into smaller components, then it becomes easier to manage and is achievable. Part of the reason why goal setting fails is because the lack of understanding of the different types of goals and how they are treated.

The Change within the Youth Center that Target Youth in Care

/in /by

On average, successful projects have ranged in length from 20 to 25 pages of content (not including the title page, abstract, references or appendix) to accommodate the expected depth appropriate to reflect mastery.

In the final course EDU 624, candidates specializing in Leadership of Educational Organizations will write a thesis based on library research of a controversial topic appropriate to their specialization area. The topic must be a controversial issue facing the field of education and not a problem that is addressed at the local level. The topic must be an issue or problem that has experts suggesting at least 2 distinct sides to the issue both presenting valid points of view. The candidate will be expected to complete an extensive and intensive discussion of all sides of the chosen issue giving specific strengths and weaknesses of both sides with equal fervor. All points of view must be backed by appropriate research data not just opinions and be given equal representation. The candidate must then, address how they would deal with a disagreement among faculty on this issue. In a conclusion section, the candidate will present their own thoughts and ideas justified by supporting sources. Extensive use of primary source information will be expected. At a minimum, citations and references should include at least 2 research studies with data for each side of the discussion and at least 3 peer reviewed expert sources for each side of the issue. The paper must be written in APA 6th manuscript format  include the following:

• Title page

• Abstract

• Introduction

• Discussion of the overall topic

• Discussion of various points of view

• Review of the Literature and data supporting different points of view

• Discussion of how to deal with a disagreement among faculty on this issue

• Conclusions of the author supported by data.

• Reference Page

• Annotated Bibliography in an appendix

Before submitting your topic idea be sure to research and verify that there are suitable research studies and peer reviewed sources for both sides of the issue.

Your topic is “The Change within the Youth Center that Target Youth in Care”

The project must be original work, created and completed by the candidate during the EDU 624 class session, and reflect mastery of specialization skill sets. The Library Thesis will be due as the final IP project for this class and will be worth a maximum of 500 points. This is your culminating project experience that must reflect all facets of your M.Ed. journey.
