1. The microsystem
2. The exosystems The mesosystem is composed of the particular physical features, activities, and roles of that person Unless otherwise specified, the following term has been taken from Moritsugu, Wong & Duffy (2010).In this case I think the family in which a child is from will contribute to whether he can attend secondary school or be a drop out after Grade 9.The child’s family may influence from the very beginning the outcome of higher learning. Teachers and peers already know that this child may not be able to afford the transportation cost to the local secondary school .Families were marginalized and if the parents were not gainfully employed or the child did not come from a large family that would determine the consistency and attendance. The number of absents were reportedly high as many kids could only afford a few days a week. The exosystem is an extension of the mesosystem that does not immediately contain the child or individual. The mesosystem influences the mesosytem. Unless otherwise specified, the following term has been taken from Moritsugu, Wong & Duffy (2010).In that case an example will be the government agency and school board. I believe the school board is responsible for seeking assistance to help children that are unable to pay for transportation cost. I think the community can come together to either get reduced cost for school aged children, or invest in school buses. Public transportation is the only means or personal vehicle to attend the nearest high school. In order to implement to the first our steps of a needs assessment, I would do an evaluation altogether. The first needs assessment. …show more content…
Are there needs for the program? There is highly a need for implementing a school bus system to accommodate unprivileged kids and those that are unable to pay the full fee to the public transportation. What is the scientific knowledge or best practice for the program? The existing knowledge of problems it may create in the future for young adults, the best practice in that case is research on statistics on the number of children unable to attend secondary schools. Low rates of high school graduates in the community reflects the underlying problems of ease of transportation and fees .How do new programs integrate with existing programs? Implementing a school bus eliminates the root of the problem, currently local bus drivers charge the regular fee for students, So a reduction of cost may not to their best interest, In that case having a bus specifically for schools should make the transition from elementary school to high school easier and rewarding for families and the entire community. How can the program best be implemented? My first action plan would be to have Parent teacher conference and interviews to acquire the information on the number kids needing that type of assistance; also the appeal will go out the government agencies for funding to reduce the stress on families. The ethnographic research methods used in the plan would be participant observation and Interviews, “in participant observation, the researcher is actively engaged in the dynamics within the setting”. Unless otherwise specified, the following term has been taken from Moritsugu, Wong & Duffy (2010).One example of participant observation would be to attend a class session or PTA meeting when students are getting closer to the transition from elementary to secondary. I would conduct interviews with children at school to find out their future goals, I would …show more content…
By keeping the children at school should steer them away from potential drug abuse and issues with the law
