As a leader in early childhood education (ECE), you have a powerful role in supporting change to achieve better programs and practices. While change and development are ongoing and often necessary for growth, resistance to change is common because a dynamic environment is moving away from the known and comfortable. As an educational leader, it is important to embrace constructive change while inspiring others to do the same. Kouzes and Posner determined that effective leaders engage in five leadership practices to inspire change that accomplishes extraordinary things. These leaders “Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and last but certainly not least, they Encourage the Heart” (Kouzes and Posner, n.d., para. 1). Think about one area in the field of ECE that you feel passionately about as a leader. This could be a topic connected to any area in the field where you believe change is needed. Use any other source of credible or scholarly sources to locate two articles that support the need for change in this particular area. · Briefly summarize the key information and main points and positions put forth in each of the articles. · Critically assess each article with respect to its usefulness to ECE leadersInclusive and Diverse ECE Programs

Read the Giancola (2015) and Peurach, Glazer, & Winchell Lenhoff (2016) articles. Reflect on the purposes and various approaches of program evaluations and those elements that are inherent in any program evaluation. Reminder: The Giancola (2015) resource will serve as an essential guide for the completion of your Course Project. Be sure to read it for your work in this module, and refer to it often as you complete your Course Project. • Consider a program within your specialization area (Early Childhood Education) that is in need of evaluation and change. Review any existing data regarding the program, and think about what the data may be telling you about the effectiveness of the program. • Think about how you would plan for the evaluation of your selected program. What tools might you need to measure its effectiveness? How might you develop a tool of your own to measure not only effectiveness, but also to identify areas for growth? • Using Giancola (2015) as a starting point, research a number of program evaluation tools and approaches. What quality indicators might you use to evaluate your selected program? What criteria will you use to evaluate the program based on those indicators?Program Evaluation Purposes Approaches

INTERVIEW PRESENTATION How you present yourself to others is an important part of being a social worker. Being able to present yourself in an open, caring, and professional manner helps with building rapport and influences your clients’ willingness to share their experiences. You also must be skilled at interacting with clients who are different from you. Interviewing skills are also very important, as you have seen, and social workers must be mindful of how to conduct an interview in a culturally competent and culturally sensitive manner. In this Assignment, you have an opportunity to practice your engagement and assessment skills. You conduct an interview with an individual from a different culture than your own to learn their perspective about culture and gender. The goal is for you to explore the cultural norms within that ethnic or cultural group. RESOURCES Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

RESOLVING ETHICAL DILEMMAS If there is a right and wrong answer, there is no ethical dilemma. An ethical dilemma occurs when one or more competing ethical principles must be considered and weighed against each other. Social workers serve individuals, families, and communities who experience complex problems for which there are rarely simple solutions, or right or wrong answers. As such, social workers use the NASW Code of Ethics to identify the various ethical principles and standards that will guide ethical decision making. In this Discussion, you apply social work ethics as you analyze an ethical dilemma. RESOURCES Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. WEEKLY RESOURCES TO PREPARE · Consider the ethical decision-making framework outlined in this week’s resources, including Figure 1.1 on page 439 of Kirst-Ashman and Hull. · Select one of the following options, and then engage in the first few steps of the ethical decision-making process, including consultation with colleagues through your response posts. Option 1 · As technology advances, so do the ways that social workers can connect with clients. Is it acceptable to look at a client’s activities on social media or seek information through an internet search? Should a social worker allow clients to contact them by text or e-mail? How does a social worker’s personal social media presence influence the worker/client relationship? Option 2 · Consider the presence of dual relationships in social work practice. What are examples of nonharmful and harmful dual relationships between clients and workers? How do social workers determine if dual relationships are harmful to a client? Option 3 · Your Instructor will post a social work ethical dilemma related to a current event. BY DAY 3 Post a response to the following: · Describe a specific ethical dilemma based on one of the options above. · Describe the ethical issues in the option chosen. · Identify specific values or ethical standards that apply. · Identify who is likely to be affected by the ethical dilemma. · Describe potential courses of action. · Examine reasons in favor of or opposed to the course of action. Support your post with examples from the course text and any other resources used to respond to this Discussion. Demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts. Include a full reference of resources at the bottom of the post. BY DAY 6 Respond by providing consultation to at least two colleagues on the ethical dilemma they described by doing one of the following: · Explain additional ethical standards and values that your colleague may need to consider in the case. OR · Explain any previously unconsidered course of action and reasons in favor of or opposed to that course of action. Required Readings · Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr. (2018).
