For this final assignment, you will prepare a brief paper detailing the steps undertaken to complete a presentation that disseminates information you assembled for the proposal. The paper will describe a target audience for the presentation, research supporting the decision, and choices made when determining the information to include in the presentation.
You will create the presentation in PowerPoint. Include a project introduction that presents an existing change opportunity and the desired state after improvement and its relevance to social work, as well as explaining how the project addresses quality improvement and social welfare policy leadership in the 21st century. It will explain specific discriminatory issues in the selected policy or program, and provide relevant, real-world examples. In addition, it will describe a specific population or subgroup (demographic distinctions, how many) impacted by the selected public policy, and provide relevant, real-world examples that demonstrate the impact(s) of the policy. Next, include a detailed plan for enacting change to address discrimination in the selected policy or program, including steps for implementation, a budget, and specific source(s) for funding. Finally, explain how the plan to change the policy or program will be evaluated, including the data necessary for the evaluation and an explanation for how the evaluation data will be collected and managed to maintain ethical integrity.
