Students are asked to create a case study involving an Indigenous child. This scenario/character can be made up, drawn from real life with anonymity, or drawn from a book or movie. The student is asked to develop layers of community for the child, identifying their parents, siblings, extended family, friends, neighbours and the key people in the child’s life. Using a simple map, the child’s community and land are also presented as a key part of the child’s life and surrounding (please include a simple diagram of the area; like an aerial view). If professionals, such as a doctor, dentist, naturopathic doctor, or recreational leader surround the child, then these people should be included in the map. The student should include as much detail as possible and lean towards specifics rather than generalizations. What agencies do these support people and professionals represent? What related to the child’s context makes this child different than other children? This contextual part of the assignment is worth 30/100.
Next, the student designs a scenario that will be addressed in the case study. Perhaps the child speaks an Indigenous language at home and speaks minimal English in the daycare centre, or speaks English as a second dialect. The student will map out a plan for intervention and support, naming the support people who will be called in and what their tasks/roles will be. What are the goals or expected outcomes of this plan? Detail is important in this part of the scenario. Also, how will culture and Indigenous traditions/values be incorporated into the plan? This part of the assignment is worth 30/100.
What happened… project into the future what happened as a result of this intervention. Describe a number of outcomes related to holistic well-being for the Indigenous child (e.g. strengthened sense of belonging, achievement, capacity to learn, to perform, to sing, to speak, to play, to cooperate, to experience joy and a sense of connection). How is the child currently coping with the issue on their own? The student can select a source that outlines such desired outcomes for Indigenous children (e.g., Martin Brokenleg’s Circle of Courage, a What occurred… Project what happened as a result of this intervention into the future. Describe a number of outcomes related to the Indigenous child’s holistic well-being (e.g. strengthened sense of belonging, achievement, capacity to learn, to perform, to sing, to speak, to play, to cooperate, to experience joy and a sense of connection). How is the child dealing with the problem on their own right now? The student can choose a source that outlines such desired outcomes for Indigenous children (for example, Martin Brokenleg’s Circle of Courage, a book).Representative’s report, any report on Indigenous child care strategies, therapeutic approaches, a medicine wheel assessment model [Bopp, Bopp & Lane]). Describe what life may be like in the future when these health and well-being measures are achieved and explain how the intervention plan carried the child to a better place. Based on the student’s analysis of the plan, the delivery and the outcome, this aspect is worth 30/100.
Writing style, grammar, and correct APA formatting are worth 10/100 marks.
