o

·        
The
assignment must be submitted as a Word file.

The goal is to be
succinctly comprehensive. The final document should be roughly 15 pages double
spaced, Times New Roman, 12 points, 1-inch margins.  The paper should mirror APA.  However, instructors must maintain the
flexibility with APA grading that will allow a limited amount of “editorial”
license when a student prepares an Agency-Specific Strategic Planning
Consultation Model.

Even though the
student will reply upon the two course texts, they are expected to not merely
copy the course texts. Rather, they are to create a “hybrid, semi-unique” model
based upon the texts and also incorporate a significant number (12+) of
academic (within the last 10 years), best-practice based, and organization
being analyzed references (APA compliant references and citations).  The majority of references should be Academic
and best-practice related. Additionally, students shall quote the Holy Bible in
their CWV section.
