EDU 644 Week 2 DQ 2 Role-Play! Which Programs
Will We Keep
In this discussion, you will continue examining
child protection services by evaluating the
effectiveness of child protection resources from
organizations that provide information and
support for at-risk families. Specifically, we assess
the outcomes of parenting programs for at-risk
families using role-play. To prepare for this
discussion, review any of the various chapters
from Rubin (2012) listed in the Recommended

Resources for Week Two, as well as the Week Two
Instructor Guidance. When responding to this
discussion, depending on the first letter of your
last name, you will select either the California
Department of Health Care Services website or the
Los Angeles County Department of Child and
Family Services website and speak from a specific
role about whether to keep or terminate a specific
program that supports at-risk children and
families.
• If your last name begins with A-M, speak from
the role of a Los Angeles County Department of
Child and Family Services official who wants to
maintain an existing parenting program that
supports at-risk children and families.
• If your last name begins with N-Z, speak from
the role of a State of California Director of Health
Services who wants to eliminate a specific
parenting program that supports at-risk children
and families to reduce costs for the state.

Initial Post: Speaking from the role you are
assigned, write an initial post about whether to
keep or eliminate a specific program that supports
at-risk children and families. Use the two websites
listed above, the recommended Rubin (2012)
readings for Week Two, and at least one additional
scholarly source to provide support for your
argument. Be sure to state which role you are
assuming in this role-play activity and the specific
program you are discussing at the beginning of
your initial post. Next, write your argument as a
formal letter to the citizens of your assigned
locality (i.e., either LA County or the State of
California). Your letter should be written
succinctly (i.e., it should not be lengthy) and
persuasively and include a specific call to action
(i.e., to either keep or eliminate a specific
program).
Guided Response: Respond to a minimum of two
peers. In each response, assume the role of a press
agent for a local newspaper and interview your

peer. You can do so by asking questions about the
ramifications of keeping or terminating the
program. This will elicit further critical thought
from peers about their arguments. Though
personal opinions may be expressed in the replies,
it is expected that you will write an objective
response that is designed, again, to promote
further critical thinking by peers about their
arguments. Please keep personal opinions about
the programs discussed to a minimum and focus
on evidence-based responses. As with other
discussions, though two replies is the basic
expectation, for deeper engagement and learning
you are encouraged to provide responses to any
comments or questions others have provided for
you to further the conversation and demonstrate
critical thinking on this topic.
