Submission Instructions:

Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in the current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources. Your initial post is worth 8 points.
Each question must be answered individually as in bullet points. Not in an essay format.
Example: Question 1, followed by the answer to question 1; Question 2, followed by the answer to question 2; and so forth.

For this assignment, write a paper describing the program area of Missouri Children’s Division and the preventative services offered for at-risk families, the program’s theory of change, and the evaluation goals. The first part of the paper should describe the program’s purpose, its importance, its targeted clients, and a discussion of how the program works. Then, have a literature review (1-2 articles) that supports (or questions) this theory of change. The next part of the paper should lay out the purposes of the proposed evaluation, the critical stakeholders to include, and the key evaluation questions that the evaluation will address.

Introduction:

Please complete the Introduction section of your Program Evaluation Report. Introductory paragraph: Summarize what your Program Evaluation Report will cover (Missouri Children’s Division and preventative services offered to at-risk families): Problem or concern, program to be evaluated, evaluation design used, and state that the report will discuss findings and make recommendations.

Introduce the problem or concern: Use research findings in the literature and practice experience to inform this inquiry.
Program to be evaluated: Put the evaluation in context with a brief descriiption of the program, services, and clientele.
Theory: Identify the formal theory or theories that explain the etiology of the problem/concern.
Purpose and Significance: State the purpose of the program evaluation and why it is important

Logic Model – This is a section of the paper
Understanding a program’s theory and representing it in a logic model is a starting point in program evaluation. Complete a logic model for the program you intend to study. Any structure for the logic model can be used, but it should include program processes and expected outcomes.

To gather information to create the logic model and answer the questions, you will need to conduct at least one interview and/or focus group. The aim is to root your evaluation plan in stakeholder information and meet their decision-making needs. Therefore, you will interview a key stakeholder or (focus) group of stakeholders.

Literature review – this is a section of the paper
Please have at least seven references.

Current Knowledge: What current programs, interventions, or models are attempting to address the problem or concern? What empirical evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of contemporary interventions?
Evaluate the Literature: For each source, critically analyze the methods and the findings. Note whether the methods are qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods.
Explain the usefulness of the studies in informing, improving, and evaluating practice.
What is missing in the literature?
State the research hypothesis and/or research question (1 paragraph).

To accompany your logic model, provide a 2-3 page narrative that answers the questions below. Please use the questions/interview schedule as your subheadings when you write this up.

Whom did you interview? What are their roles in the program?
What are the goals and objectives of the program you will evaluate?
Who is the program designed to serve? Include as much demographic detail as possible
(age, gender, ethnicity, etc.) for each group impacted by the program (e.g., students, parents, clients, etc.). Give your best estimate if precise demographic information is not available.
What are the means through which program goals and objectives are expected to be met? In other words, what activities does the program utilize to serve its clientele?
What data/records currently exist relative to this program’s goals, objectives, and activities?

Methodology – This is section of the paper
Methodology (Remember there should be enough detail that the reader could replicate your study)

Design: Specify the research design(s) used in the program evaluation and justify this choice.
Sample: Describe the data source: criteria for inclusion, sampling method, and recruitment of participants if applicable.
Measures: Describe the instrument or instruments (if any) used in the data collection. (Be sure to cite authors)
Data Collection: Describe the procedures used in collecting the data in detail. If applicable, include information on human subjects’ research compliance
Data analysis: Describe the data analysis used, including descriiptive statistics included.

Results: This is a section of the paper
Findings: Present the conclusions regarding the hypothesis test or provide the answers to your research question(s) or (Just the facts here). Tables, graphs, and charts may help present the findings. (According to APA format, these will follow the references and be placed before the Appendices.)
Unexpected Findings: discuss findings that are unusual or unexpected but not related to the research questions.

Step 1: Watch PBS: LAPD BLUES and research the Rampart scandal in LA’s Police Department. (There are SEVERAL movies and documentaries on this, and it has ties to the current Diddy case too, with regards to Biggie Smalls and “Suge” Knight, Death Row Records, etc…)

Step 2: Write a 3-4 page (MINIMUM 1000 word) reaction essay in response to the video.

Reaction or response papers are usually assigned so that you’ll consider carefully what you think or feel about something you’ve watched.
The following guidelines are intended to be used for reacting to the video.

Detail/describe the case(s) discussed – what happened in this case?
What exactly was the crimes and/or ethical violations alleged in this case?
What various types of Ethical Issues are most evident, and how did they ‘snowball’ from much smaller issues?

How did Death Row Records, Suge Knight, Biggie Smalls, and even Diddy play a possible role in this case?

What do you think about the result of the case? (Remember,  must be able to see your analytical and critical thinking skills, as well as see that you have carefully watched this video.)

Step 3: Cite to ANY source (Using APA Formatting for BOTH in-text citations AND your References page) that you directly quote, as well as any source other than the PBS LAPD Blues video..
Step 4: Save and submit your assignment.
This is an assignment you will want to keep in your personal files as well as submit to your instructor. When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy to your instructor.

CONCERT OPPORTUNITY COST

For this week’s assignment, address the following scenarios:
You won a free ticket to see a Bruce Springsteen concert (assume the ticket has no resale value). U2 has a concert the same night, and this represents your next-best alternative activity.

Tickets to the U2 concert cost $80, and on any particular day, you would be willing to pay up to $100 to see this band. Assume that there are no additional costs of seeing either show.

Based on the information presented here, what is the opportunity cost of seeing Bruce Springsteen?

You were able to purchase two tickets to an upcoming concert for $100 apiece when the concert was first announced three months ago. Recently, you saw that StubHub was listing similar seats for $225 apiece. What does it cost you to attend the concert?
