Kaplan University Psychology / Organizational Behavior Management PS430: Program Design and Evaluation Unit 7 Assignment Use qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of behavior analytic programs. You have another Assignment in your role as an intern at Acme Behavior Consultation. Pathways is an alternative high school. Pathways allows students with behavior challenges to complete their high school experience with a more flexible and positive approach. Their mission is to create an environment that allows students to consistently exceed expectations, maintain high levels of student and family satisfaction, and meet cost effectiveness standards. They strive to provide the highest education possible to students from a variety of communities and cultural backgrounds. Acme, Inc., assisted Pathways with the creation of individual behavior intervention plans (BIP) for students displaying high levels of inappropriate behaviors. In addition, ACME used a behaviorally based training procedure to train all staff on the basics of ABA and how to implement each BIP. A behavior management division headed by a full time behavior specialist at the school is responsible for implementing the plans that were originally created in collaboration with Pathways’ staff. In addition, Acme is responsible for ongoing staff training and monitoring the effectiveness of each plan. You are asked to do a follow up to determine the success of the procedures that were put in place. In addition, you were asked to conduct some Inter-observer Agreement(IOA) probes and determine whether the staff has maintained the skills taught during training. You are provided with a variety of data to analyze and will need to use the data to determine the effectiveness of the current interventions. The behavior specialist has been collecting and compiling data and presents them in the figures that are located in the Doc Sharing area of the course titled Unit 7 Assignment Figures. Below is a list of the figures contained in the Document: Figure 1: Summary of comments from staff questionnaires related to the success of the intervention and satisfaction with training. Figure 2: Line graph of the frequency of aggressive behaviors incidents for the entire school reported before(Baseline) and after (Treatment) the program began Figure 3: Frequency data from an observation session with two different teachers and one student’s behavior. Figure 3 reflects the frequency of physical aggression during the sessions. Figure 4: Data from Staff Integrity Checklist. You must now review the data and present a summary of your findings to your supervisor at ACME, Inc., as well as the school. You should include the following in your summary: 1.          For all Figures: a.         Determine the purpose and importance of the data above by discussing how it can be used in the program evaluation process. Discuss the importance of data collection and analysis in program design and evaluation. b.         Identify the data collected as either “quantitative” or “qualitative.” Discuss whether the type of data is appropriate for the context of the evaluation. 2.          For Figure 1: a.         Discuss the overall purpose of this data and how it should be used in analyzing the effectiveness of the program. b.         Using the data contained in this figure, discuss the implications with regard to the effectiveness of the program. 3.          For Figure 2: a.         Use visual analysis and discuss the level, trend, and variability of the challenging behavior incidents reported during baseline (before) and treatment (after the intervention). b.         Using the data, describe the effect that the intervention had on the frequency of behavior incidents within Pathways. c.         Considering the level of data, as well as any trends in the data, discuss the effectiveness of the program. 4.          For Figure 3: a.         Calculate the total frequency of physical aggression for each observer. b.         Using the total count method of IOA, calculate the percentage of Inter-observer Agreement. c.         Discuss the result of IOA. 1.       Is the IOA percentage within the acceptable range? 2.       Discuss what changes should be considered in relation to increase the IOA percentage. If changes are not necessary, discuss what factors contribute to high percentage of Inter-observer agreement. d.         Discuss how IOA measures can be used to assist with determining the effectiveness of the program. 5.          For Figure 4: a.         Calculate the percent correct results of the treatment integrity checklist before intervention, one day after intervention, and at the 3-month follow up. ·              This is the total factors with a “Yes” out of the total number of factors, multiplied by 100. b.         Relate these treatment integrity measures to the effectiveness of the program. c.         Discuss the importance of treatment integrity in relation to the success of behavior management programs.

Deliverable 5 - Using Ethics in Visual Communication  Content Competency Evaluate and revise ethical issues in visual media communication to improve awareness of social perceptions. Student Success Criteria View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane. Scenario You are the campaign manager for a well known environmental outreach organization. The current campaign is to bring awareness to the organization's Ohio River Clean-Up Project. As the manager, one of your tasks is to review all content and visuals used by the campaign. You actively evaluate and revise any ethical issues that may be detrimental to the project, your organization, or society in general. As you meet with one of the campaign designers, you identify several ethical problems with the new poster he has created. His poster includes the following elements:  The poster image shows a group of poor, urban, African-American children playing alongside the Ohio River. The poster text states: "Let's help them clean up." The poster has several overlaid images in the corner of a few celebrities, which gives the impression of celebrity endorsement. There are no sources acknowledged anywhere on the poster. The poster has been digitally altered to make the African-American children appear thinner, darker, and dirtier. Since you are flying out to a campaign meeting in one hour, you ask this campaign designer to hold this poster and wait for your video review. You plan to take time tomorrow to create a seven minute or less video analysis. Using screen share, you can present the poster image visually and verbally instruct this designer how to correct several ethical visual issues. You realize you will not only have to identify the ethical visual issues and explain how to revise and change them, but you will also need to clearly describe to him the effect these unethical media issues will have on society.
