Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a professional blueprint for your work in the field of community psychology (CP). The blueprint is a professional statement that provides a foundation and framework for professional growth in a body of knowledge and practice that is evolving and changing. The blueprint combines knowledge—what you will learn about CP—with your professional goals, insights, beliefs, and practices. This framework will help guide your work in fostering strong communities.
The project is divided into two milestones that scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final submission is in Module Seven.
This project will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:
•Evaluate the central concepts of community psychology to determine the relevant and applied nature of the concepts to professional practice
•Illustrate the connections between social issues and community support systems with the creation of policies and interventions for individual andcommunity development
•Engage in research to promote theories for social change that are applicable and beneficial to the community
•Apply the concepts of community psychology to real-world scenarios based on an analysis of community issues
Prompt
