Assignment Instructions:

Design a Survey. Create an account for survey development (www.qualtrics.com or www.surveymonkey.com). Your survey should be original, align and describe the district, campus, and school counseling department’s mission statement. Please gain consent from a campus administrator and include this approval statement in the survey. The maximum number of questions should fit within the parameters of the online account, should target your intended purpose of gathering data, should have one or two open questions (qualitative) and closed questions alike (quantitative or likert scale), hence reflecting the total number of questions. Please create a brief purpose statement and directions for survey participants and should be distributed to apopulation or group that can conveniently help determine guidance curriculum (i.e. teachers or administrators). The number of surveys distributed andsample size (number of surveys collected) should be small, between five and 10.  Your survey can ask participants to rank or rate topics (Section IV), student competency areas, content areas, goals (Section V) or any information found in the Hatch book (chapter six).

In the narrative portion underneath the survey, please respond to the above bolded items. Here is where you incorporate your citations and reference page. Be prepared to design the survey and submit in this week’s module both the link to your survey and a printed copy; but then, send the survey out between this and next week and prepare to analyze and discuss the results of your survey in week four’s assignment.

Action Planning. Using a sample guidance action plan, submit an Intention Guidance Action Plan that aligns with domains and standards of both Texas and ASCA Model. It is helpful if your current campus counselor can assist, but is not mandatory. Please respond to the following areas in a type-written, chart format (this information is found in the Hatch book, chapter five, page 101).

Target Group	Activity Description	Timeline for Completion
Reason for Group Selection/Intervention	Resources Needed	Name of Responsible Person
Specific Data to Drive Decision	Projected Number of Students	Evaluation of Student Success
Domains/Standards/Competencies (Texas Model and ASCA)		Expected Results
Student Competency Addressed/ Competency Indicators (Texas Model and ASCA)		Indication the Plan has been Reviewed

 

Both parts of this assignment are designed to expose you to the process of developing surveys and designing action plans. They should be submitted as attachments in module three assignment submission link.

Assignment Research Criteria

Include a minimum of five journal articles (cited in both the text and listed on the reference page) found in the Lamar University Library, Montana Journal of School Counseling (jsc.montana.edu), or Professional School Counseling Journal (Available with ASCA Membership). Other peer-reviewed journals available on the internet are allowed. However, non-peer reviewed sources, such as WIKIPEDIA is unacceptable.  Your textbooks from this course and other courses are acceptable, but are additions to the five journal article requirement and should not appear to be the majority of your in-text citations.

APA Criteria

All criteria from the APA manual should be followed. Do not copy nor paste from internet examples- you must type out each reference and citation in its correct format. Please review both videos, take notes, and download the APA Information document found under the course policies, procedures, and requirements link in Blackboard. This is the standard set for papers submitted in this and future courses.

Safe-Assign Score Policy

Reducing your safe assign score is easy by using original written-text, not borrowed from a peer nor circulated from a previous course you took; use peer-reviewed journal articles from different publishers/journals; and stay away from including verbiage from internet websites. Scores above 30% will be flagged, and graded as a “zero” by the Instructional Associate. You will then be referred to the Professor of Record for further intervention.

Due by day seven of module three at 11:59 p.m.
