Socw 354 Assignment Amp Rubric Case Assessment Part 3

Include 1) an APA style title page, 2) a short introduction that provides an overview of your paper, 3) headings to delineate each section, 4) a conclusion that addresses the reflection questions below, and 5) in-text citations and an APA style reference page. This paper should be 8 – 10 pages in total, not including the title page, reference page, and assessment tools.

For the environmental, cultural, institutional, and family assessment:

• Summarize one theory or concept of your choice from each chapter.
• Assess/describe the case of your choice or Dasani from the “Invisible Child” case study (link on Canvas) from each perspective. The purpose of this assessment is to connect the theories you’ve learned from these chapters to this real-life example, so your paper should refer to both and explain the connections you see.
• Please note that you are NOT asked to provide a diagnosis or recommend interventions for the case/Dasani in this paper. You should focus on describing the case through the lens of each of the theories you have chosen, assessing the case as objectively as possible. Focus on the question “what is happening in this situation?” vs. “what should happen?” or “what would I do in this situation?”

Answer these reflection questions in your conclusion:

• What have you learned about yourself and your own behavior from writing this assessment and studying the theories/concepts you chose?
• What have you learned about your own writing/study skills through writing these assessments so far? How have you improved your ability to write a case assessment from the first through the third portion of this assignment
