Case Study 2 Instructions

Read the scenario below based on information from Ch. 9 (section 9-4) of your textbook, and construct at least a 250 word response. You will need to answer all portions of this case study below in order to receive full credit. At least 1 intext citation from your textbook must be made and cited according to current APA format.

Scenario:

Lamar is a struggling reader in your first grade classroom. You are concerned about his difficulty with reading comprehension and want to provide more practice. You have noted that explicitly teaching reading comprehension strategies through question-based activities has really helped Lamar. You are planning a reading lesson of a grade-appropriate reading selection with all of your students’ needs in mind. As you consider the needs of Lamar, you wonder which reading comprehension strategy you will teach your students and have them practice in their prereading, during-reading, and postreading activities.

Description of Response:

Part 1

You must complete 3 activities: 

one prereading, one during-reading, and one postreading activity to reinforce your students’ comprehension of the reading selection. 

For each of the 3 activities you must:

a. Explain how the activity applies the new reading comprehension strategy and addresses the issues in the scenario.

b. Give evidence from the chapter (with citations from your textbook – using page or section numbers) supporting how each activity helps students apply the new reading comprehension strategy and its appropriateness for Lamar and other struggling readers in your class. 

Part 2

Describe and justify how your three activities would improve student engagement and reading comprehension in the scenario.

Research Applied To Practice

/in /by

As a counselor, you have the potential to work with a variety of client populations and mental health issues. Even the most seasoned clinicians have an ethical responsibility to stay abreast of the most current trends in the field. A great source of information is professional counseling literature. It gives you access to up to date empirical evidence and treatment options.

For this Discussion, you will make your first effort to review a peer-reviewed, scholarly article and consider how the information can help you shape the course of treatment for an identified client.

To Prepare

  • Review the four Final Project Case Studies found in the Learning Resources for this week and select a case study for this Discussion based on your counseling specialization You will have the option to use the same case study for your final project or choose a different one.
  • Choose one client in the case study and one mental health issue that you would address in counseling.
  • Choose one intervention you are interested in learning more about to work with the issues you identified in the case study you selected.
  • Review the Learning Resources related to research and how to search the Walden Library for specific information related to your topic.
  • Search the Walden Library and select one article specific to an intervention for your case study. Note: You will use this article to create a citation in your post as well as a reference for the article.

Post by Day 3

  • The case study you selected, the client and mental health issue you identified, and the intervention you selected for treating the issue in counseling.
  • Explain the findings of the article and how the research article results match or were different from what you expected to find.
  • Did your findings change your perception about the intervention?
  • Would you choose to use this intervention with your client in the case study based on the contents of the article?
