As a future leader it is important to recognize the assets within your stakeholders to promote strong school community ties to create a welcoming environment inclusive of all identities and to improve learning outcomes Throughout the course you will develop activities to identify, engage, and collaborate in equitable ways with those invested in the education of students. You will develop a measurable and actionable collaboration plan to promote learner success using the course template to engage (1) family and (2) community.
You will write an overall specific measurable attainable relevant time bound (S.M.A.R.T.) goal for school-family-community (SFC) engagement tied to your school improvement goals (video on Canvas how to write). In addition, you will write a rationale on the relationship between student outcomes and school-family-community engagement supported by course readings.
Each week’s readings and activities support you completing the four cornerstones of the action plan: (1) Equitable engagement practices, (2) Bridge relationships, (3) Transform Curricular Efforts, and (4) Alignment of policy & resources. It is strongly recommended that you complete tasks each week within your action plan. For example, in session two you will find essential questions to consider as you are reading. Then on the course collaboration template you will find the following:
Goals (How does school and community tie to your school improvement plan?): Write a goal for family and community engagement that supports your school goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, & Time Bound-S.M.A.R.T.)
Rationale (answer): What does the research say about the relationship between student outcomes and school-family-community engagement?
You will provide an answer on the template that exhibits clear succinct graduate level writing reflective of the literature. You must cite all work in APA 7th. If you are not familiar with APA 7th it is important you contact the UNF Writing Center to support your success. Please read my policy on plagiarism.
Your plan must consider the questions posed in the cornerstone and address all four cornerstones inclusive of all identities (Race, ethnicity, language, (dis)ability, social economic status, religion, gender, social orientation). The plan should be specific and action orientated with each column of the plan filled out: (1) Activities, Practices, Policies (Cite source), (2)Person Responsible, (3) People/groups to collaborate with (4) Timeline (5) Resources (what do you need to support this action), and (5) Evaluation (How will you measure success?). The final plan should speak to a minimum of 12 leadership activities/actions in each of the four cornerstones. It should also consider what capacity or learning to support staff towards equitable engagement.
No two plans should or will be alike as context matters. Beyond the course readings, I have assembled various resources to support you develop the plan. You may incorporate items from the course resource page or you may use other resources to address each cornerstone. Yet all plans must be written to increase equitable engagement to increase outcomes tied to your school improvement goals, site goals, or district. Further, your plan must demonstrate knowledge drawn from course readings. The readings were chosen with intentionality to cast an equitable lens on the topic.
There will be periodic check-ins of your plan due on Canvas. It is imperative as a leader that you meet deadlines. Therefore, you must submit your work on time and at A level the first time on the due date. Please read my policy on late work.
Your final plan will be due on Canvas July 18th or before by 11:59 p.m. Your final submission should be reflective of any feedback given on prior portions submitted during check ins. If you fail to incorporate or address feedback your grade will be reflective of your choice.

Forum – Module 5 Field Report #3: Family Story Forum – Initial Post Due – Discussion Group 1From Sp21 ANTH F002A 01W Cultural Anthropology11 unread reply.11 reply.For this fieldwork assignment, you will explore the meaning behind cultural and family stories. You will be asked to identify a family story, told over and over again, by one or more family members. You will write up the story for your fieldwork report, and analyze the function of the story in your family as well as determine the values or messages it is really conveying. To get an idea of the kinds of stories, we are interested in hearing about, please feel free to listen to a story or two that is shared on StoryCorps (Links to an external site.). More importantly, read through the following StoryArts online web page (Links to an external site.)to get some ideas on how you can find the “right” story to share. The web page has some good questioning strategies to help you and your family to start to think about the memorable stories that have meaning to you, your family, and perhaps even your community or culture.Once you have completed your report, you will post it in the discussion forum called, Family Story Debrief. Then you will need to read and comment on two of your peers’ reports. Try to even out whose report you review. For example, if you see that two people have already replied to Katie’s report, and no one has commented on John’s report, then comment on John’s report, so he doesn’t feel left out.ProceduresThroughout your childhood, you may have heard and shared stories, but you may never have thought about them as verbal artifacts to be analyzed. Family stories are narratives, usually about family members, both living and deceased-like the time your cousin Sean was left at the alter or your uncle Michael came drunk, or when cousin Katherine won the state lottery and spent the money in a month. Sometimes, they are stories of heroics, of sadness, or of comedy.Identify a story in your own family that is told over and over again. It doesn’t have to be an “important” story-it can seem silly-as long as it is told. The assignment this week is to your family member to retell the story to see if it has changed or is different from what you remember, and then you will think more deeply about its purpose and function.To give a moral to children?To model doing the right thing?To tell you what “our family” believes in?What values or messages does it convey?Report FormatI expect your story to be retold in your own words.The report is to be typed, 12 pt. font, double-space, with 1.0 inch margins.Estimated length should be between 3-5 complete, double-spaced pages.Use a spell check, and proofread the paper carefully.Divide the report into the following five sections:i. Introductionii. Story Retelling -Pick a family (or good friend) story that is told over and over again, and share the story in your report (When writing out the story, make up names or use only a first initial so that you are not violating the privacy of anyone in your family). If you would like to interview a family member, please feel free to do so. ii. Story Analysis – Analyze the story. The stories families pick to tell and retell are important. Think about why your family tells this particular story. Who tells it? Does your family tell other similar stories? What values or messages do you think it means to communicate? What role does it play in family communication? What does it communicate to you? [Are the intended messages and how you react(ed) to the story the same?]iii. Connections – At this point in your life, how do you relate to the values or messages the story sends? Do you agree with or reject those messages or something in between? Do those values or messages affect your life right now? Would YOU retell this story? What do the answers to these questions tell you about your family and its values?iv. Conclusion

Small Bioscience company with 100 employees located in San Francisco’s Bay area, state of
California. Total annual receipts $24M. Net: $15M/Annual. Your recommendation to the CEO of the small company where you have been hired as an
organizational development expert is the key to the success of the future of the company.
Current guidelines for the restructuring/re-organization are ambiguous at best. You must rely
on your expertise as well as creativity to meet the demands of the project.
The company, a bioscience organization in the Bay area, was a startup by the CEO, the sole
financial contributor and an expert in the field of biosciences. The company product is biological
kits that are necessary for the vaccine and serum producing firms. The company is a significant
contributor to the field of biosciences gaining a reputation for quality products that it generates
for its consumers in the United States. The company has slowly grown from five employees to
one hundred employees who serve in different capacities and roles at the company. All
employees report to the CEO. The majority of the employee population is in the science lab
division. Approximately ten percent of the employees are in the administrative areas such as
domestic and international marketing, accounting and finance department, IT, and an HR
division. Over the past 18-months of operation, the products of the company produced and
distributed in the United States, have become much sought after by the domestic and
international markets. Managing the day-to-day operation of the company has become
burdensome to the CEO preventing him from attending to his best work which is innovation in
kit production necessary for the bioscience industry.
The CEO in his 70s takes pride in operating a business that has never exercised a lay-off in its
20-year life span. He genuinely believes that the company’s success has been due to the quality
of the work by his growing and satisfied employee population. The CEO, a PhD, desires to hire
PhD holders in all segments of his organization. He firmly believes that employees must all work
together under the same roof with set work hours each day. The only workforce members he
agrees to work remotely are the two new international sales operatives living in China.
The company is encountering a significant demand by domestic consumers for its products well
beyond its current capacity to produce. Global organizations have also been attracted to the
company in large numbers in the past few months. The company has ample customer orders in
production for the next two years, through December 2023.The company’s success may
become its downfall if it fails to meet the demands of its market, domestic or international.
You have been hired as an organizational development expert to help the company design and
develop a strategy to meet the demands of its customers, domestic and global. Your
recommendations must be designed to cover the production side as well as organizational
changes that may or may not be in correlation with the current practices of the CEO.
Scenario company background:
The domestic marketing division working remotely during the pandemic is unwilling to return to
the physical environment. This group has become a silo taking little direction from the CEO. The
working relationship has since become tense and toxic as a result.
The International marketing division work is smooth with amicable working relationship among
the team members.
Science lab: Two of the newly promoted employees to management positions are having
employee relations issues. Both excellent scientists, but not skilled in leadership.
Accounting and Finance: The Accounting Associate has been making significant errors in
judgement in the past few months, leaving accounts receivables unattended. Accounts payable
delays have nearly caused termination of services by several providers.

This has bugged me for months. As I work to vaccinate the Coast Guard, I hear several themes repeated. One goes like this… “Why should I believe what the CDC or any medical professional says now? They couldn’t make up their minds before, what would make me think they know what’s up with the vaccine?”Everything that I’ve read about pandemic communications strategies insists that building trust with the public is critical and must be done early on, ideally even before an event takes place. In my opinion, transparency and honesty are fundamental to building trust. COVID-19 spread faster than doctors could learn about it. People started dying before the medical professionals were able to understand it. And the face of communications for a mysterious, potentially deadly, ghostly unknown faced a horrible challenge of balancing cautiousness against panic, of authority against fallibility.For our leadership, the people we trust, the authorities on all things health and medical to admit they don’t know undermines their confidence and the public’s. But it was true and I prefer to hear someone say they don’t know, and they are working as fast as they can to get more information. They weren’t lying!! And not knowing is ok! We, the public, couldn’t be patient enough to let the professionals learn more. At this point in my tirade I could blame the 24 hour news cycle, the politicians looking out for their constituents (and the next election) and/or the lack of general education or transparent communications from the CDC. I posit that it is all of these things that conspired to severely limit the American public’s willingness to believe the science and get vaccinated. “Creating a Communication Strategy for Pandemic Influenza” Pan American Health Organization https://www.paho.org/hq/dmdocuments/2010/PAHO_CommStrategy_Eng.pdfLinks to an external site. “Communicating During an Outbreak or Public Health Investigation” Abbigail J. Tumpey, David Daigle, and Glen Nowak; The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual; https://www.cdc.gov/eis/field-epi-manual/chapters/Communicating-Investigation.htmlLinks to an external site.Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World, Chapter 5, Page 76Post 2:In my opinion, the biggest communication mistakes related to the COVID-19 are covered in the following principles from the chapter reading: 1) Commitment to effective communications 2) Transparency in communications 3) Ensure public information is accurate 4) Establishing an emotional connection and 5) Increasing accessibility to technical experts. I think the primary reason these mistakes were made were due to a lack of preparation and prioritization of the global pandemic possibility and also the presence of competing priorities (in the beginning) for the administration. As the video points out, one of the most significant flaws was the elimination and the shifting of responsibilities of the global health and pandemic response teams from the National Security Council (NSC) to the department of human and health services (DHHS). Of course, there was a lot that wasn’t known about the virus at first and the CDC and even the World Health Organization (WHO) issued conflicting guidance and communications that were later walked back (surface transmission, etc) and some of that is bound to happen with ever-evolving situations such as pandemics, but the preparedness and clear- messaging was certainly missing from the United States in the early month.
