Grand Canyon University Afterschool Tutoring Program Discussion

You will complete the Microsoft Word template using 1,500 to 3,000 words to explain specifics

of your project implementation.For full credit, you must address each point in each section

listed. The objective is to demonstrate that you have thought through in detail what it would

mean to provide a certain type of assistance.

Although you may cross-reference points between sections, the questions from each section must

be answered in that section to get credit for your response. The amount of credit you receive will

depend on how thoroughly you have considered your implementation: you should attempt to

write so that a reasonable reader would need to ask few or no follow-up questions to clarify your

overall objective, people you will help, assistance provided, project management, timeline,

assessment procedures, ethics and CWV analysis, and reflections.

Write-ups that leave many

questions unanswered or with significant gaps will earn less credit. Be sure to support your

claims with evidence.

Here are the sections that you will be completing in the Microsoft Word template:

I)

Titles for both the Project and Each Section

1)

A title for your write-up, including your name, the date, the course, and your

instructor’s name. Your title should capture the essence of your project (e.g., “Tiny

Homes for the Homeless in Mendenhall, MS”)

2)

Titles for Each sections – generic ones are provided in the template but most should

be adapted to your specific project.

II)

Whom will you help? Instead of this question the actual Write-Up

should have a statement of the group you intend to aid.

In this section, you must address the following questions:

In this section, you must address the following questions:

1.

What are the starting and ending dates of your

project?

(These should be 5 years in

the future and run for the 12 weeks of your project.)

2.

Out of your 12-week timeframe, how many weeks will you need to start up your

project before beginning to provide assistance to people in need? What will you need

to accomplish during these weeks?

3.

Where will central operations for your project be? Will you rent a location, look for a

donated location, or work in a distributed way (say from people’s houses)?

4.

How would you prove to an outside authority (e.g., an auditor) that everything is in

place to proceed with your operation? If permits and/or licenses are required, this

should be included. If not, you should provide evidence that none are required (e.g., a

government website).

5.

Will you need volunteers, paid workers, or both? How will you screen personnel?

What kinds of skills, special training, licenses, or certification do your personnel need

to assist with your project and why?

6.

How will you coordinate volunteer efforts, and what will they do? How many

volunteers and/or workers do you expect to have?

V)

What will you accomplish in the main part of your project?

In this section, you must address the following questions:1.

How many weeks will you spend providing assistance to people in need?

2.

How many people in need do you expect to be able to assist, and in what ways?

Provide evidence that the personnel and time available are sufficient to achieve this

goal.

3.

Where is your local community (city, state/province, and country) in which you will

be providing assistance?

2.

Describe the specific group of people in your local community that you will be

helping. Why do they need assistance? What is their economic status? What mix of

ages and genders are they? Etc.

3.

How will you get the word out to the people you want to help? Why did you choose

this approach?

III)

What assistance will you provide? Instead of this question the actual

Write-Up should have a statement of the type of aid you are offering.

In this section, you must address the following questions:1.

What specific assistance will you bring to the people who need it (goods, services,

training, cash assistance, etc.)? (Here, a response like “cash payments of $50 per

person per week” is better than “cash payments.”) Does the assistance provided

change based on age, gender, family grouping, etc.?

2.

How and where will you provide the assistance to people in need? Will you maintain

a location for people to come to? Will you visit people where they are? Will you

provide transportation if needed (or if that’s part of your service)? Etc.

3.

How will this assistance help people in the short run? That is, how might people be

better off immediately because of the assistance you provide?

4.

How will this assistance help people in the long run? That is, how might the

assistance you provide have lasting effects, even if it is time-limited?

IV)

How will you start up and manage your project?

How will you track and document whom you are helping and the process by which

you are providing assistance?

VI)

How will you wrap up and evaluate your project?

In this section, you must address the following questions:1.

Out of the 12-week time frame, how many weeks will you need to wrap up your

project?2.

In those weeks, what steps will you take to wrap up your project? What records will

you retain, and how will you archive those? What steps are required to finalize any

location-related expenses?

3.

How will you conclude relationships with people you are assisting? When your

assistance is no longer available to the people in need, what additional sources of

support can you direct them to? How likely is it that these additional sources will be

available to the people you helped?

4.

If you had to determine immediately after the end of your project whether your

assistance had helped, how would you do that? What kind of metric or metrics could

you use to determine whether a particular individual had been helped? What

questions would you need to ask to determine this?

5.

Similarly, how could you determine, 3 months after the end of your project, whether

your project assistance was still having an effect? How would you get back in touch

with people you had helped? What characteristics of their condition could you

measure to determine whether any positive impact from your assistance still

remained?

VII)

Ethics and Christian Worldview Analysis

In this section, you must address the following questions:1.

How does your project demonstrate the Judeo-Islamic-Christian ideal of loving your neighbor as yourself? What other religious and/or ethical principles does your project

strive to exemplify or realize?

2.

How are the people you propose to help different from you, and how might you

structure your project to help bridge differences and lead to increased mutual

understanding and respect?

3.

How does your project further the goal of affording human value and dignity to all

people?

VIII)

Summary and Reflections

In this section, you must address the following questions:1.

Whom did you contact to learn about local needs and/or additional information to run

a project in your community? What input did they provide to direct your

investigation?

What other local needs did you consider? What was compelling to you about the one

you chose?

3.

For the assistance you plan to provide, what other avenues are there for people to

receive that assistance? How likely is it that it will be available to them?

4.

What other factors (legal, political, social, etc.) that were not considered as a part of

this presentation might you need to investigate if you were actually to implement a

project such as this one?

IX)

References

1.

You must support your claims and data with at least three scholarly sources. These

can be journal articles or official government websites with data or other relevant

information about your local community

THE START OF THE PAPER

After school tutoring programs promote a learning environment that will bring benefits to help the youth,families and

communities.In

my area there have been programs cut from the schooling system and a lot of students are struggling because they are in need of that extra help.

First I would get in touch with the community leaders John Sharpe James @8622354041 in my community aiming to engage more residents and local officials in discussing matters currently impacting city schools.The second would be the NPS/Afterschool Alliance Diane Genco 908-789-0259 dianegenco@njsacc.org the leading after school experts and contacts in New jersey. The third would be the principal at North Star Academy Mr Michael Mann @9732766390 schools work together to develop after school programs, students are exposed to new and creative learning styles

Partnership with the youth, families, and communities working together to provide a total educational experience for youth. Unfortunately In many neighborhoods it’s a disconnect within schools and surrounding communities and after school programs can build a bridge to reconnect.
