Students will work in teams to prepare a role play and oral presentation using topics presented on the following pages, in conjunction with their field practicum or personal experience (or one that is created addressing the issues presented). Team presentations will begin in Week #4. Students should be prepared to use the role play to demonstrate effective administrative practices (in cases where the role play refers to a student’s actual experience, please describe only ONE student’s experience). In the oral presentation that follows the role play, students should describe the primary administrative practice approach (again, using one student’s experience, but described and presented by all team members) demonstrated in terms of the relevant theory or approach (please cite references in the slides and provide a reference page at the end of the presentation). Students are also required to incorporate the relevant assigned readings, recommended readings, or academic journal articles to support the role play presentations. Student teams are to prepare a one-page brief outline of what will be presented and power point presentation (to be uploaded into Brightspace prior to the presentation).
Each team’s presentation and discussion should last no more than twenty minutes. Each student must demonstrate participation in both the role play and discussion. The team presentation is the foundation of the final paper.
