You are required to write and submit a 3,500 word report demonstrating your understanding of contemporary leadership and management. The report is divided into three sections, which reflect the learning outcomes of the module, each section is highlighted below.
After you have completed the readings for this unit, select one of the ethnicities presented (Asian, African-American, Latino, Native, or Pacific Islander Americans) in the readings and outline the factors you would consider in determining the level of risk to assign to the following student. Discuss ways in which a school counselor can support a student facing the following challenges:
You are a first-year counselor at a high school and a student is sent to your office by his teacher. The teacher has sent an e-mail sharing that she thinks his journal entries are “disturbing,” and she feels he is distancing himself from the kids she normally sees him hanging out with in the halls. She wants someone else to talk to him because he won’t answer her questions and she is afraid he will hurt himself.
In the conversation, you discover that he lives with his mother and grandmother; however, he rarely sees his mother because she works two jobs. His grandmother is his primary caregiver, but she is very ill and not expected to live much longer. He is also doing poorly in his classes and is embarrassed by his current grades. He will not be able to try out for the basketball team, and that is the one thing he truly cares about. What are the specific risk factors present? How can a school counselor help him navigate the personal crises he faces?

RESEARCH METHODS
Assignment 1: SURVEY DESIGNPurpose:
The purpose of this paper is to create a survey using the knowledge that you have obtained throughout the class.Directions and Grading:
In this assignment you will design your own survey with 10 items/questions. You will go through each step listed below and create a paper that is at least 4-6 pages in length – not including your title page.
Step 1: Choose your topic **Legal Drinking Age In The U.S.**
In this section of the paper, you will outline your topic choice. You can pick any topic that interests you and this topic can come from any field. For example, you could pick a topic about political attitudes, which type of entertainment people enjoy, attitudes about crime and punishment, opinions about the federal government, or any other issue you choose. Just be sure that you can create a 10 item/question survey using your topic.
You will need to outline your topic choice and why you picked this topic for your survey. This section should be at least one strong paragraph in your paper.
Step 2: Data
This section of the paper has three parts. First, you will decide whether or not you want to conduct a research project using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. This answer will determine the type of items/questions you include in your survey. Explain your reasoning behind your choice. What are the advantages and disadvantages behind your selection?
Second, you will decide if your items/questions will be closed, open-ended, or a mixture of both. Remember, your choice of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods will determine the type of items/questions that you choose for your survey.
Finally, what will be your method of data collection? Would you conduct the survey through personal interviews, over the telephone or computer, through the mail, or through email? Why did you choose this method of data collection and what are the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen method?
Step 3: Research question and variables-**Should the legal drinking age be lowered to 18**
Once again, this section of the paper consists of multiple parts. First, you will need to first come up with your overall research questions. For example, if you picked attitudes toward crime and punishment, then you would need to think of a research question that will address this topic. So, you could create a research question such as “how do college students view crime and punishment in our society?”
Second, you will determine the independent variable (IV) and dependent variable (DV) in your research question. Clearly state your variables in this section of the paper. Explain why you picked your independent variable and dependent variable. Start by defining independent and dependent variables and show that you understand why your independent variable is in fact your independent variable and not your dependent variable. Do the same for the dependent variable.
Step 4: Hypothesis
In this section of the paper, write a hypothesis about what you think is the likely answer to this research question. Remember, your hypothesis should be testable and falsifiable. Explain the reasoning behind your hypothesis and how it is both testable and falsifiable.
Step 5: Survey items/questions
For this section, you will create the actual items/questions that will go in your survey. You have to create at least 10 items/questions for this assignment. You can create more if needed for your topic. These survey items/questions can be laid out in bullet form in the paper. You will be graded based on validity of the items/questions and whether or not the items/questions follow the design requirements mentioned in the lessons this week.
Step 6: Explain the validity and reliability of the survey
In this final section, you will explain why your survey is valid and reliable. How does the survey address your original topic? Would participants be likely to give the same answers if they took your survey over again?
Also, you can watch the following video to learn about important pitfalls to avoid when designing questions for your survey.
1. Ensure to use less than 10% of citations throughout the paper.
2. What tool did you use to record your video? (I used Screencast-O-Matic)
3. What was the most difficult task to accomplish this assignment?
4. What can you do to improve future short research presentations?
5. Use as many references as needed to complete the task, but no less than 5 references.

4. Building on your analysis from question #3, critically evaluate possible improvements to the organisation’s use of information systems with emphasis on staff development in line with organisational goals, effective flows of communication, and decision making in the organisation Weight: 15% of the final mark
5. Critically analyse the importance of security in information management in your organisation in particular Weight: 15% of the final mark The remaining 15% of the final mark will be dependent on the quality of Harvard referencing and bibliography, as well as the general presentation of your paper. we suggest by that time you should have roughly a 1500 to 2000 words paper.
Gloria Oaks is a 66-year-old divorced Caucasian woman who has lived alone for about two years. Although Gloria was reluctant to seek any help, her adult children have convinced her to come see you. Gloria has not cleaned her home or taken care of herself for months. Her son Jeremy and her friend Jeanne come with her to the first appointment.
Jeanne, Gloria’s only good friend, calls her every day. Friends since high school, Jeanne is no longer able to visit Gloria because there’s too much stuff in the house. Jeanne says Gloria’s problems really started after her parents and her younger brother were killed in a car crash during their senior year of high school. After Gloria’s family died, she lived with an aunt and uncle for a year before heading off to college. Gloria married after her first year of college and the couple soon had two children. Gloria and her husband divorced after 47 years of marriage.
Gloria continues to live in the family home. Jeremy states that he and his sister had tried to help her clean up a few times but their mother continues to bring more and more stuff into the house. He states he believes his mother is depressed, is not sleeping, and is starting to experience some health problems from not leaving the house.
In your initial post, select two of the following questions to answer from your perspective as her psychiatric nurse practitioner.
In your initial interview with Gloria, Jeremy, and Jeanne, what types of questions would be most important to ask?
Identify two assessment tools to use with Gloria. Provide a rationale.
Identify three of your most important safety concerns for Gloria. Provide a rationale.
Identify resources (including links) available in your own community to help Gloria.
