2 part- D2W1 and D1W4 must be two separate post

Part 1 Master list (make this your first assignment)

As stated in the required resources for this week, the Search Institute has identified 40 Developmental Assets or “building blocks” of healthy development for young people. These have been broken down in to eight broad categories, and then identified as external or internal values.

First, using the US Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder (http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml), Pew Research Center (http://pewresearch.org/), and the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/) websites, write a short descriptive narrative that identifies the general demographic characteristics of your community based on the latest census. Include items such as average income, household size, and other interesting facts that help paint an accurate picture of your community and schools in relation to the 40 Developmental Assets.

Next, create a table that identifies the eight categories of human development, summarizes the importance of the asset to the development of all youth, and identify at least one existing organization or support model in your community where students can experience this asset. Post your narrative and table in your initial post.

*Note: We will revisit and build on this table in Week Four. 

Part 2 (follows part one) must be two separate assignments 

Update the table that you created in Week One to include all of the resources that you have been able to identify in your community for each of the eight categories (some organizations may be listed under multiple categories based on their vision and mission). Create a master list of each agency/organization you have identified that includes their mission/ vision statement and basic contact information – phone number, web address, etc.

Identify any organizations that are involved in collaborative efforts (local ministerial associations, etc.) Repost your table and master list in the discussion forum.
