For this assignment, you are to identify a problem of practice in education. Some examples of Problems of Practice are low wages for child development center teachers, verification of family poverty level for food bank distributions, or caseload organization management for Child Life Specialists. Now, you can not use any of these examples, believe me, there are plenty of other problems in our respective fields! Something else to keep in mind, a Problem of Practice is NOT a complaint about something in your field, it is a problem that can be addressed with a fairly clear plan of action. Use this particular set of inquiries from the Problem of Practice Guide to assist you: The issue should be familiar to the student; Issue-based; Connected to leadership; Connected to the workplace; Practical, and observable in some way; Solve a problem that closes a gap between the current state of the field and the future state of the field; A fully developed problem statement that must be framed using theory and literature; Politically/strategically viable to address; Manageable to address in one OIP; Actionable/can be implemented (and measured); Reasonable to address given the student’s own position, sphere of influence, etc.; Applicable to more than one or a few people; and, Without a clear single solution/answer. Throughout the semester, you will be building on your work (except for the break to complete the comprehensive exam). Therefore, for this first assignment, you will need to develop an APA correctly formatted student title page for your first page. On your second page, at the top of the page, put the title of your work and center it, then and in a few well-written sentences that will identify your issue (problem of practice) for your particular field or future field. This will serve as an introduction to your project. DO NOT USE THE WORD “I”!!!! This is about a serious problem or issue in your field, it is not about you. Yes, proper grammar, mechanics, and spelling are required. You are “masters” in your respective fields and therefore considered professionals. Write in a professional manner.
