Unit 3 Discussion

DQ1 Intervention Plan Component Development

By the end of Unit 4, you will submit your initial Intervention Plan Design assignment. As part of that assignment, you will be asked to develop and support a number of components for an intervention plan that will seek to address the need, target population, and setting that you identified in your Unit 2 Problem Statement (PICOT) assignment. These intervention plan components will need to be supported by evidence from the literature and professional best practices. You will also need to consider the impacts of technology, stakeholders, health care policy, and regulations, as well as ethical and legal considerations.

For your initial discussion post, complete the following:

Describe one of the components of your intervention plan.

How will the component you described contribute to the overall success of your intervention plan?

What evidence from the literature or best practices supports that the component will help to address the identified need or target population of your intervention plan?

What, if any, potential is there for technology to help in the development or implementation of the component?

How might stakeholders, health care policy, or regulation potentially impact this component?

Are there any ethical or legal considerations related to the development or implementation of the component that need to be kept in mind? If so, what are they?

Response Guidelines

Respond according to the Faculty Expectations Message guidelines. In your response address the following:

How well does the described component seem to contribute to addressing the need that is the focus of your peer’s intervention plan?

Do you have any additional resources to suggest that your peer could use to further develop or support the validity of their component?

Are there any other technological tools or considerations that could help in the development or implementation of your peer’s component?

DQ2 Reflection

Each week you will engage in weekly check-ins. These check-ins will be brief (2–5 minutes) video or audio recordings in which you discuss your experiences and progress for the week. These should be used to update your peers on experiences of note that occurred during your practicum time and any relevant developments with regard to your capstone project. The goal of these check-ins is to allow you to connect with your peers on a more personal level and build a more vibrant learner community in the course.

If you are recording a video for your check-in, be sure that you are recording video and audio with your program of choice.

If you are recording a video using Adobe Connect, you will post the link to your recording in your discussion post, in addition to your transcript and notes (see below).

If you are recording a video for your check-in using Kaltura, follow the instructions in the Using Kaltura document linked in the Resources. It will cover how to post your video directly it into the discussion area in addition to your transcript and notes (see below).

If you are recording audio via PowerPoint, please make your submission one or more slides with the reflection questions below included on the slides. Please make sure you also include detailed notes or a transcript (see below). You will upload your PowerPoint file as an attachment to your discussion post.

You may use a different program or piece of technology, provided you can still create videos and record audio for your initial discussion posts. You may wish to check with your instructor before attempting to use a different program or piece of technology

In your reflection, please discuss your responses to the questions below:

How is your practicum experience going?

What is going well in your field experience?

What are the challenges you are encountering?

Was there anything that you found particularly exciting or challenging that happened?

Are you making progress on your capstone project?

What aspects of the project are going well?

What aspects of the project are you finding the most challenging?

What excites you about your project?

Post your reflection no later than 11:59 p.m. central time, Thursday. This will give your peers ample time to respond.

Note: As a professional best practice, and to make your discussion posts as accessible as possible, be prepared to include a text alternative for your recorded audio by providing a brief transcript or detailed notes with each discussion post. (This practice is also helpful to ensure that you are recording the words that you actually wish to say.) If you are using PowerPoint, your notes or transcription can be included in the notes area of your slides. If you are recording a video, please post your notes or transcript in the body of the discussion post. If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services to request accommodations.

Additional note: If for some reason you experience technical difficulties that make it impossible to record a reflection, you may post a written reflection that is of professional and academic quality.
