Establishing a Regional Resource Center for Training K-12 and K-16 Educators

MH-Scenario 1 

The author depicts competency in detecting the challenges that affect the community and deciding on the appropriate measures to address the problems. For instance, acquiring financial assistance to establish a regional resource center for training K-16 educators to ensure sufficient accomplishments of the needs of English language learners or students. The author exhibits exceptional experience on issues affecting teachers in the community by illustrating that inadequate comprehension of the population needs influences decision-making on the equipment, office space, and staffing. The author has excellent evaluation skills for detecting the underlying challenges of program design and recruitment criteria for consultants and trainers in the project. The practical assessment skills demonstrate that the project lacked a need survey to facilitate the satisfaction of various communal needs by the project. Finally, the author depicts concerns on budgetary allocation and illustrates that lack of effective budget allocation for the project hinders accountability based on expenses such as housing cost, wages or salaries for qualified personnel, and equipment purchase. 

SKR-Scenario 2 

Though the project accomplished administrative and logistic tasks such as hiring qualified personnel and acquiring space for the training, the scenario respondent explains that the project lacked a detailed description of information dissemination strategy and project costs. The author depicts practical assessment skills by elucidating that the plan lacks sufficient participant selection criteria such as capacity limitations to enhance engaging qualified persons. The author demonstrates practical leadership skills by detecting that the project required a work scheme or schedule that discourages social loafing and absenteeism among the K-12 and K-16 teachers. The author has exceptional assessment skills by illustrating that the grantees or project implementers have not incorporated aspects of curbing the spread of the contemporary pandemic, COVID-19, such as acquiring adequate training space to facilitate maintenance of social distance during the training session. Consequently, the author’s scenario evaluation illustrates that the grantees emphasize operational requirements as opposed to programmatic needs resulting in the delay of project service delivery.
