Community Educator
Throughout the term you've learned about the different issues families struggle with on a daily basis. Quite often, people struggle with issues simply because they don't know where to turn for help. Imagine you had the opportunity to be a community educator. If you could go into your community and help families by educating them, what topic would you focus on? What resources would you give them?
For this project you will pick one issue that was covered in the lesson material, (teenage pregnancy, dating, marriage, becoming parents, working parents, single parents, divorce, family violence, aging, retirement, etc.), and develop an informational PowerPoint Presentation about it. Your presentation should cover the following:
– Start your presentation with a brief introduction by telling your audience who you are and what you're going to be talking about.
– Provide a description/explanation of the issue
– Give the audience some information about the issue (who is affected and how)
– Important facts/statistics about the issue, laws/policy that relate to the issue, etc.
– Find 3 intervention/support programs for that issue in your community. Provide the audience with a brief summary of each program (name of program, services they provide, cost, and how clients access those services).
– Wrap up your presentation with any other information you'd like to include and provide a summary for your audience.
On the last slide, provide a summary for your instructor. What did you learn from this assignment? Did anything surprise you? Was it difficult for you to find resources in your community for the issue you picked? Any other information you'd like to share.
The readings throughout this semester are some of your main sources of information for this project. DO NOT copy/paste the information from your sources. You need to summarize/paraphrase the information and provide a citation in the body of your presentation and a Reference Page/slide at the end. Your presentation should be a minimum of 12 slides with notes included at the bottom to thoroughly explain your points. You need to use APA format to cite your sources in the body of your presentation and on the Reference slide at the end. Your presentation will automatically be submitted to Turnitin.com. You and your instructor will receive the results. If you need help with APA format or Turnitin.com, please see the information posted in the Announcements throughout the term.
Please see the grading rubric for information on how your submission will be evaluated.
