The Progressives

THESE QUESTIONS:

Who, exactly, were the Progressives? One historian writes that they “offered an impressive array of reform proposals.” Why did they do so? What was our country like during the Gilded Age? What, exactly, were these proposals and what benefit did they bring to “life in these United States?” To what extent was the nation altered by their proposals? Please explain why the U.S. did (or did not) become a “kinder, gentler nation” as a result of the Progressive movement. Finally, how do some historians assess the Progressives? What examples from the Progressive Era and from today can you provide to support or refute their arguments?

assessing Community Needs week 7 Discussion

Priority Health Issues Within the Community
Identifying priority health issues involves striking a delicate balance between perceptions the community itself has of its needs and the needs that are identified through the community health assessment. When identifying assets, community members are able to gain control of their environment, their behaviors, and their perceptions that they can use to change their lifestyles. This brings about a sense of dedication to long-lasting health changes that the community will effectively maintain.
For this Discussion, refer to the media Identifying Assets from this week’s resources. Then review the case study “Opening the Doors to Change” from this week’s resources, in which the author identifies policy priorities and the areas in need of attention (starting on page 4). Finally, consider the following scenario: You have received funding from an agency to implement improvement strategies for three areas in need of attention in the case study.
Post by Day 3 an explanation of which three areas in need of attention you would choose and why.
Remember to begin interacting with your colleagues in the Discussion no later than Day 5 and continue engaging through Day 7 by supporting or critiquing the rationale of your colleague’s selections.
Support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned

Exploring Health Education Discussion week 7

 

of Effective Health Educators
What does it mean to be an effective health educator?
Educational attainment, credentialing, and work experience contribute to attributes of health educators in practice. However, might health educators possess additional unique attributes that make them strategically positioned to be more effective? As individuals, we all possess unique attributes and talent that contribute to success in specific areas of day-to-day life. Considering the attributes that you believe health educators should have may help you to identify those attributes that you already possess as well as identify potential areas to develop.
For this Discussion, reflect on those attributes you believe effective educators should possess. Then consider how you might incorporate those attributes into your current or future role as a health educator.
Post by Day 3 a description of three attributes that you believe effective educators should possess and explain why. Then explain how you would incorporate these attributes to become an effective provider of health education and why. Be specific and provide examples.

 Abstract o One paragraph summarizing the paper without citations and including your
statement as to why your chosen strategy is best.
