It is likely that you have at least heard the term at-risk used in a variety of contexts, but you may not know exactly what is meant by this commonly used term. When working in a community or educational environment, one must be aware of the scope of at-risk groups so as to implement or guide them toward appropriate and effective supports or services. In this discussion, you will analyze a variety of descriptions of at-risk groups and behaviors associated with them for the purpose of acquiring your own working definition. You will include this definition in your website that is created throughout the course and finalized during the Week Six Final Project and make adjustments to your working definition during Week Six when you reflect upon how your definition has expanded.
Prepare for this discussion by reading the Week One Instructor Guidance and reviewing the following resources that provide descriptions of at-risk groups and the behaviors associated with them:
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: At-Risk Individuals
• A website defining at-risk individuals.
U.S Department of Health & Human Services: Factors That Contribute to Child Abuse and Neglect
• A website about child abuse and neglect.
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
• An article describing violent behavior in children and adolescents.
Teachnology
• A website defining the concept of being at-risk.
National Center for School Engagement
• A website offering descriptions for youth at risk.
Initial Post: Considering the descriptions in the websites provided above, create an initial post that addresses the following:
a. Discuss which of the websites most effectively described the term at-risk as it relates to establishing and enhancing your understanding of the phrase.
b. Write a working definition of the term at-risk in your own words. Review the Week One Instructor Guidance for what constitutes a working definition.
c. Explain what the personal value is in having knowledge of groups at risk in relation to your current or anticipated future work with children and/or families.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. In your responses, discuss how your peers’ selections of effective website descriptions compare to your own and offer feedback on their definition of “at-risk” giving specific suggestions that will enhance their definition. Additionally, consider your peers’ explanations of the value of having awareness of groups at risk and discuss how their ideas for this value differ from your own. Asking questions of peers that clarify points from their initial posts is also encouraged. Though two replies is the basic expectation for this discussion, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. Remember that for all discussions in this course, continuing to engage with peers and the instructor beyond the minimum requirements will further the conversation and provide opportunities for you to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with the discussion topics.

Post Due by Day 3.An important part of assisting at-risk children and families is having knowledge of the resources and programs available as sources of support. As such, a significant part of your course work in EDU644 involves discovering, analyzing, and creating resources! In your analysis of various descriptions of at-risk this week in Discussion 1, you discovered that those living in poverty are at-risk, with significant factors impacting their well-being and ability to thrive. In this discussion, you will examine online resources with information and supports for individuals and groups in poverty. Using what you discover, start developing your ideas for the website you will begin to create in Week Two.. Therefore, during your investigation, it is important that you take note of how the websites are organized and the way content is presented. Considering what makes a resource effective will help you design comparable organization and content structures in your own website. To prepare for this discussion, examine the Poverty USA website. Additionally, review the Week One Instructor Guidance, making sure to review the intellectual elaboration and the section dedicated to guidance for the assessments.
Initial Post: Create an initial post addressing the following:
a. Summarize what you learned from the Poverty USA website and how this knowledge will be useful to you in your current or future professional practice.
b. Summarize the statistical data from the Poverty USA website that explains the impact poverty has on children and families and include at least one example of a program, policy, or resource that provides support. Be sure to explain how the example provides support and cite where the information is located on the Poverty USA website.
c. Describe the organizational and content features of the Poverty USA website that were particularly helpful, innovative, interactive, or that otherwise caught your attention and that you might emulate when creating your own website in this course.
d. Using your preferred search engine, locate at least one additional website focused on groups in poverty and cite the website in your initial post. Include a two-to-three sentence description of the type of information included in the website.
e. Describe the organizational and content features of the website you located that were particularly helpful, innovative, interactive, or that otherwise appealed to you and that you might emulate when creating your own website in this course.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. In your responses, compare your peers’ summaries of the Poverty USA website to your own and discuss how your summaries differed and what may account for those differences. Review the additional resource your peers’ provide and consider their description. What else might effectively describe the type of information in the resource? Finally, discuss the resources reviewed and the organizational and content features your peers’ said they might emulate, considering whether you might also emulate those design features in your website. Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to respond to any comments or questions others have provided to you.

In this discussion, the focus is on examining agencies responsible for child protection. You will sharpen your technology skills by creating an infographic about a specific agency. Infographics are a way to visualize data and information using text and graphics and can be powerful instructional tools, as noted in the Teaching With Infographics presentation and further explained in the Week Two Instructor Guidance. Prepare for this discussion by reading Rubin (2012) Chapter 1, the Principles and Philosophy resource, and the Week Two Instructor Guidance. Then, using the software of your choosing, be sure to attach or link to your infographic in your initial post. Your infographic will be included in the Week Six Final Project.
Initial Post: Create an infographic using the software of your choice that includes the following:
a. An engaging title for the infographic.
b. A summary of a specific child protection agency’s vision, mission, guiding principles, or philosophies.
c. A summary of how the agency’s philosophies, principles, and key policies support or align with the philosophical tenets promoted by the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) 1997.
d. At least one image in the infographic.
e. A references section that cites all information summarized in the infographic, including the child protection agency you researched and at least one other local, state, national, for-profit or non-profit organization.

In this discussion, you will continue examining child protection services by evaluating the effectiveness of child protection resources from organizations that provide information and support for at-risk families. Specifically, we assess the outcomes of parenting programs for at-risk families using role-play. To prepare for this discussion, review any of the various chapters from Rubin (2012) listed in the Recommended Resources for Week Two, as well as the Week Two Instructor Guidance. When responding to this discussion, depending on the first letter of your last name, you will select either the California Department of Health Care Services website or the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services website and speak from a specific role about whether to keep or terminate a specific program that supports at-risk children and families.
• If your last name begins with A-M, speak from the role of a Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services official who wants to maintain an existing parenting program that supports at-risk children and families.
• If your last name begins with N-Z, speak from the role of a State of California Director of Health Services who wants to eliminate a specific parenting program that supports at-risk children and families to reduce costs for the state.
Initial Post: Speaking from the role you are assigned, write an initial post about whether to keep or eliminate a specific program that supports at-risk children and families. Use the two websites listed above, the recommended Rubin (2012) readings for Week Two, and at least one additional scholarly source to provide support for your argument. Be sure to state which role you are assuming in this role-play activity and the specific program you are discussing at the beginning of your initial post. Next, write your argument as a formal letter to the citizens of your assigned locality (i.e., either LA County or the State of California). Your letter should be written succinctly (i.e., it should not be lengthy) and persuasively and include a specific call to action (i.e., to either keep or eliminate a specific program).
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. In each response, assume the role of a press agent for a local newspaper and interview your peer. You can do so by asking questions about the ramifications of keeping or terminating the program. This will elicit further critical thought from peers about their arguments. Though personal opinions may be expressed in the replies, it is expected that you will write an objective response that is designed, again, to promote further critical thinking by peers about their arguments. Please keep personal opinions about the programs discussed to a minimum and focus on evidence-based responses. As with other discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have provided for you to further the conversation and demonstrate critical thinking on this topic.

EDU 644 Week 4 Assignment School-Based Efforts A Plan to Support At-Risk Youth
This assignment is an opportunity for you to apply what you learned from this week’s discussions in a relevant way based on your own preferred area of focus. In this assignment, you will look through the lens of a particular professional role that you either have related experience in or intend to take in an anticipated professional practice. The roles to select from relate to one or more professions that are integral to assisting children and families at risk. Assuming the role of the professional you have identified, your task in this assignment is to prepare a professional presentation for a diverse group of professionals, such as school principals or district administrators, social service providers or community outreach providers, medical professionals, and other related service providers.

EDU 644 Week 4 DQ 1 Making a Difference - Biotech Academy
At-riskchildren benefit from access to specific programs that support their success in a school environment. By providing opportunities that students can connect with, the probability of them staying in school and matriculating to a two- or four-year college or university will increase. Biotech Academy in San Jose, California is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on bioscience. The program and its faculty, however, provide supports for at-risk students that go far beyond academics. To prepare for this discussion, watch the nearly 10-minute video Biotech Academy: A catalyst for change. Note that this video can also inform your completion of the Week Four Assignment.
Initial Post: Create an initial post that addresses the following:
a. Share a minimum of three things you observed showing how teachers at Biotech Academy instigate and maintain student support and success. Be sure to consider what characteristics they have to have and what behaviors and practices they need to present to their students.
b. Describe the impact collaboration between teachers, parents, and students has on student success as well as having a spirit of cooperation instead of competition between students.
c. Discuss two to three observations you made that show relevancy between Biotech Academy instruction & supports and what students need in post-secondary education and employment. Be sure to address how having such relevancy for student learning impacts their ultimate success.
d. Discuss how traditional school environments might learn from Biotech Academy and employ in their school culture so as to potentially increase graduation rates and matriculation to post-secondary education and employment for at-risk students.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. In your replies, consider how your peers’ observations and impressions compare to yours. For example, what did your peers observe that you did not or that you agree with but did not share in your initial response? Provide specific feedback to your peers’ regarding the relevancy between Biotech Academy and post-secondary education and employment, as well as to your peers’ perspectives regarding traditional school environments adopting strategies similar to those demonstrated by Biotech Academy teachers. As mentioned in prior discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have provided you to further the conversation.

EDU 644 Week 4 DQ 2 School District and School Building Supports
There are many risk indicators impacting not only a student’s ability to succeed in a school environment, but also the ability for a school and/or district to make progress and meet the achievement expectations at state or federal levels. To prepare for this discussion, beyond reviewing the Week Four Instructor Guidance, you will investigate general at-risk groups and behaviors, as well as information pertaining to students with disabilities.
Begin by investigating the National Center for School Engagement website to gain insight as to various risk indicators commonly observed in at-risk youth in school environments. This resource also provides strategies for re-engagement that support the building of student resilience including parental involvement, truancy, youth development philosophies & approaches, and reengagement supports or strategies. Next, access your state’s Department of Education website, specifically for their special education link (which may also be titled something similar to Exceptional Student Services). Read the mission statements; notice that your state’s website may have a far-reaching statement as well as specific missions for funding, programming, and resources. Investigate some of the programs and resources available from your state and review the methods the state uses to provide assistance to schools.
Now, investigate a school district website in your local community or state. Look for information similar to what you observed in the National Center for School Engagement that describes supports for a variety of at-risk groups. In most cases, district-based websites include direct links to the individual schools located in the district. Therefore, you may find a special program or intervention model offered at a specific school that would help inform your response to this discussion. Additionally, look for information pertaining to special education. You may find this information under a link titled “Departments” or something similar. Read the mission of the school district. Look specifically for programs and approaches offered for students with disabilities.
Initial Post: Create an initial post that addresses the following:
a. Cite the website for the school district you evaluated.
b. Describe at least one school- or district-level program, model, or approach showcased regarding parental involvement, truancy, reengagement supports or strategies, or youth development.
c. Discuss how the school district’s special education mission statement either supports or differs from what was observed from the state’s special education mission.
d. Share an example of a program or policy from the district or a particular school that supports what was stated in the state’s website and explain how the program or policy aligns with that of the state’s positions or policies.
e. Describe your impressions of the types and levels of supports offered in the school district, sharing something that impressed or surprised you as well as anything you found to be lacking from the supports offered.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. In replies, consider the differences and similarities between your observations and impressions and that of your peers. As mentioned in prior discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you to further the conversation. This continued interaction gives you more opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.

EDU 644 Week 5 Assignment Group At-Risk Specialization Mind Map
This assignment provides the opportunity for you to specifically plan the Final Project in Week Six by brainstorming and outlining each required component of your website using a mind map. For this assignment you will select a specific group at risk as a specialization. There are additional groups identified this week and listed as recommended resources to select from. These groups include child immigrants of Central America, homeless veterans, and sub-groups relating to poverty. You may also elect to focus on one of the groups or a sub-group of those already researched during Weeks One thru Five, which comprise the sections of your website.
You will then plan your content and design of this assignment using a digital mind mapping tool, such as bubble.us, coggle, Popplet, Mural.ly, or any other free digital mapping tool of your choosing.

EDU 644 Week 5 DQ 1 More Website Sharing and Feedback
This discussion provides a second opportunity to share your website. Again, sharing your website for feedback provides you with perspectives on your design and content to consider for enhancing your website before you finalize it during Week Six. To prepare for this discussion, construct a mission statement and add it to the homepage of your website. To construct your mission statement, consider the models you reviewed during the Week Four assessments and the tips for writing an effective mission statement from Education World. Next, update your working definition of at-risk. Then, be sure you have created pages for and linked to your Week Three Child Maltreatment Brochure and the Week Four School-Based Efforts: A Plan to Support At-Risk Youth assignment. Finally, if you have not already, adjust your website’s design using the feedback from peers and the instructor received during Week Three.
Initial Post: Create an initial post that includes a link to your website and addresses the following:
a. Describe the inspiration behind the design of your own mission statement.
b. Discuss the changes made to your working definition of at-risk and how you believe the changes improved upon your original draft. If you made no changes, explain why not.
c. Explain where and how you made revisions to any artifacts and/or the design of your website based on the feedback previously received from peers or your instructor’s evaluation of the work.
d. Introduce peers to the Child Maltreatment Brochure you developed during Week Three by briefly describing what you learned about the topic and about designing an effective brochure while creating it. Discuss any challenges associated with designing the brochure as well as what you like best about your creation.
e. Introduce peers to the School-Based Efforts: A Plan to Support At-Risk Youth assignment you developed in Week Four. Briefly discuss some of the most important concepts learned while researching and preparing this assignment. What do you like best about this creation or the process of creating it?
f. Describe what you like so far about the process of gradually adding to your website and sharing so as to participate in reciprocal feedback.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers after reviewing their websites and initial post messages. Provide specific feedback including questions to your peer regarding their mission statement, revisions to their working definition of at-risk, and the Week Three and Week Four assignments. Provide a recommendation for possible enhancements or improvements that could enhance their website’s design and/or content.

EDU 644 Week 6 DQ 1 Course Reflection
In this final discussion, reflect upon your overall learning experience and relate it to your earned specialization and/or advanced degree as well as your current or future practice serving at-risk children and families. Your reflection must include the learning you have gained about the topics of this course and learning from the creation of your website. Review the Week Six Instructor Guidance to further support your response to this discussion. You may respond to this discussion in written form, or through a video and/or audio recording of yourself using the digital technology of your choosing.
Initial Post: Create an initial post that addresses the following:
• What new insights have you obtained about at-risk children and families overall?
• What specific concepts have you learned that have left a more lasting impression or impact on you? How and/or why have these concepts impacted you more significantly than others?
• What affirmations have you gained about your current or future role working with at-risk children and families from reflecting on your learning? Be sure to indicate what your professional focus is (e.g., education, early childhood education, family and community service, etc.).
• How has the construction and review of others’ websites added value to your learning experience? Include challenges you may have experienced during the process and how you overcame them.
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two peers. Make an effort to respond to someone in a similar professional field and one with a different professional focus. What similarities and differences did you discover between your peers’ and your own overall learning and lasting impressions? Provide specific feedback regarding the potential application of their learning to their professional practice. How does the value they gleaned from the website construction and sharing opportunities support and differ from your own reflection on this process? As mentioned in prior discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you to further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with the course topics.
