Explore scholarly resources to find additional information related to your case study. In addition, you take into account the new information related to case study—that is, the information in Document Set 2 for your selected case study.
As a leader in education, you must remain informed of new research related to your work; and, as an advanced degree graduate student, you must be aware of the latest research related to topics you are considering pursuing in your coursework. Fortunately, you can have up-to-date information sent regularly to your computer. Two simple ways to do this are to set up a Google Scholar Alert for scholarly articles and to subscribe to RSS feeds. Set up a Google Scholar Alert for this Discussion using the instructions in the Toolkit document entitled “Google Scholar Alert.” (Note: You should also set up alerts for articles related to additional topics about which you have a strong interest. Also consider subscribing to RSS feeds to obtain more information about these additional topics.)
For this Discussion, assume the role of one of the stakeholders in the case study. Consider the information in Document Set 2 for your selected case study and in any new articles you have located from this stakeholder’s point of view. What new information is relevant and what is not? Is the information provided by reliable sources? Does this new information affect your perspective on the issue? If so, how?
Note: While stakeholder roles are suggested in the case study, you are free to create a role that relates to your professional experience and interests. In your post, be sure to identify the role you are assuming.
Note that the Discussion threads are specific to each case study so be sure you post in the area designated for your case study.
BY DAY 4 OF WEEK 4
Post the stakeholder role you are assuming. Then, post an explanation of how you, in the particular role you are assuming, might respond to the new information in the articles you found and in Document Set 2 for your case study. In your explanation, be sure to:
Evaluate whether the new information is based on reliable sources and whether the information is relevant to the issue.
Explain your position on the case study issue from the perspective of the role you are assuming and how this new information informs this position.
Explain the steps you might take to follow-up on this information based on your role and your position on the issue.
Throughout the Discussion, add support for your position or add to the knowledge base on the issue by finding and sharing additional resources related to the issue you are discussing. These should include scholarly resources but may include other resources such as news articles, blogs, RSS feeds, etc. Share links to the resources you identify.
