Accountability governs schools in the 21st century. Today, more than ever before, it is essential that school counselors contribute to the school success agenda and tie successful outcomes for students to their work in the school. How does school counseling fit into this idea of accountability being a shared responsibility for student learning and success?

Accountability is not just mere data crunching of the number of students served during counseling or time spent in direct and indirect services. Accountability, the cornerstone of the ASCA National Model, addresses several core components in school counseling: needs assessment, program evaluation, service assessment, outcomes measurement, and performance appraisal. Today, accountability applies to every facet of a school counseling program including facilitation and coordination in school-wide testing.

For this Discussion, consider the debate concerning the role of a school counselor regarding testing and assessment in the schools. Think about whether school counselors should be accountable for coordinating testing.

Post your stand on the schools position. In your post, be sure to address the role, accountability, and responsibilities of a school counselor in the facilitation and coordination of testing in the school. Explain whether you support or disagree with your schools position and why. Provide the rationale behind your schools position.

Finding factors for and factors against a position is a versatile tool for critical thinkers. In this assignment, you will practice this technique more formally by examining one of several contemporary issues.

Using your readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research methods for creating arguments using factors for and factors against an issue.

Select a topic for use in this assignment. It is recommended that you choose a topic that is personally meaningful or interesting to you. Examples of topics can include, but are not limited to, the following:

Underage drinking: Lowering the legal drinking age in the United States.
Gun control: Increasing restrictions on the civilian possession of non-hunting guns.
Selective service: Enacting compulsory military service obligation for all US citizens.
Universal health care: Governmental provision of free health care for all citizens.
For the selected topic, complete the following:

Construct at least six reasons for and six reasons against the topic. Rank the reasons in terms of strength and effectiveness.
Explain why you identified each argument as either strong or weak in each category.
Include the following two parts in your completed assignment:

Part 1: Compile a matrix (using the template below) that lists and ranks six arguments for and six arguments against the issue you have selected. Rank the reasons for each side of the issue from strongest to weakest.

Part 2: After you have compiled your matrix, write a 500700-word paper in Word format. This essay should explain and synthesize the information in your matrix. Defend why you have ranked each argument as either strong or weak. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Include both parts of your assignment in a single document, using the template found here. Name your file: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

Overview: Students will practice the techniques of rhetorical analysis by examing two recipes: one from Michael Pollan\’s Cooked as well as one they find through their own research that describes the same type of \”transformation,\” as defined by Pollan.

Objectives: This assignment will fulfill the following objectives for ENG 107:

synthesize and analyze multiple points of view
adjust writing to multiple audiences, purposes, and conventions
become conscientious and responsible writers, both for college and beyond
learn to access and become involved with the discourses of the university community
develop questioning abilities that move them beyond the passive acceptance of new materials to thinkers who can hold those materials up to genuinely informed scrutiny

Specifics: As preparation for this project, we will be reading the four recipes that Michael Pollan includes in his book Cooked. These recipes correspond to the four types of \”transformation\” that are discussed in Cooked, both the book and documentary:

Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Each student will choose one of the four recipes to focus on and will then choose a recipe from the ASU Farmers\’ Market Pinterest page or Epicurious that fits into the same category of transformation. The student will then write an analytical essay that discusses the rhetorical properties of both recipes. The essay should specifically describe each recipe\’s purpose, audience (both intended and unintended) and context. It should also describe how each recipe uses (or fails to use) rhetorical strategies to appeal to its audience and accomplish its purpose.

The final essay should be 1200-1800 words (4-6 pages in MLA format) and include appropriate documentation for its sources.

Submission

Essays will published in Google Docs and formatted in MLA format. A link to the Google Doc should be included on the Project 2 page of the student\’s Digication portfolio. A link to the publication should be submitted to the Digication Assignments tab before the deadline. No extensions will be granted for this assignment.
