Part -1: Macro Analysis Paper

Assessment Overview

The purpose of this Assessment is to analyze best practice skills and strategies to address a social services organization or practice problem. You first need to identify a problem at the macro level (larger group, organization, community, et cetera). You then conduct a library search of peer-reviewed articles. Finally, integrate best practice strategies into a plan that addresses the problem.

Assessment Description

In this Assessment, you create a five-page paper identifying a macro-level problem related to a social services organization or practice. Perform a search for relevant, peer-reviewed articles that have been published in the past five years. You must use a minimum of eight peer-reviewed references in your analysis.

Assessment Instructions:

In your paper:

Question 1: Describe the problem you have identified Homelessness with the Veteran population

Question 2: Justify the selection by describing why this is a significant problem worth addressing. Provide evidence demonstrating the extent of the problem. Also, describe the impact the problem is having on macro level of practice.

Question 3: Summarize and synthesize the peer-reviewed literature related to the identified problem.

Question 4: Evaluate relevant theories and models found within the literature. Be sure to explore macro level theories or models related to your chosen problem. In your evaluation, explain the impact these theories and models may have on the identified problem and whether the impact improves or makes the problem worse.

Question 5: Analyze and synthesize best practice skills and strategies related to the problem found within the literature. Explore the variety of strategies used to reduce the problem. These strategies could be about social change or about advocacy.

Question 6: Combine these strategies and skills into a holistic plan to address the problem, after reviewing the literature.

Be sure that your plan contains a minimum of three integrated strategies.

You present and extend your Macro Analysis Paper by narrating a recorded PowerPoint presentation. Be sure to incorporate any relevant instructor or peer feedback from the Unit 3 assignment into your presentation.

Summarize your peer-reviewed research on the topic.

Remember to provide APA citations on either the slide or in the notes of the presentation.

Present any theory or models identified in your Unit 3 paper.

How will these strategies endure over a long period of time?

What are the long-term impacts on the macro practice?

Would you need to seek additional resources, and if so, how would you procure them?
