Assignment 15

To preface, my focus for this class has shifted based on interviews and new inspiration. The new “product” (in which I conducted these interviews off of) would be a plan to provide college volunteers with resources and a brief training, and have them volunteer in elementary schools teaching basic topics such as consent, physical and mental health.



Report findings and draw conclusions:

In each interview, I learned new ways to improve my production plan. My first interviewee was a little pessimistic about this idea. He questioned the practicality of college student’s participation and willingness to commit to training sessions.

My second interview, who often volunteers at local schools, stated that this would revolutionize under-funded schools for children because more often than not the ratio of teachers to students is not equal, so most students rarely get one-on-one attention from the teacher. By adding these teaching aids each student could feel more valued because we don’t know what happens outside of the couple hours a day we see them.

The third interview made a great point as to how the schools in Chicago, Illinois are starting to implement a comprehensive health and sex-education from as early as kindergarten age and it has been proven to be widely successful, yet still controversial.



All in all, this assignment opened my eyes to different features and possibilities of implementing this plan. Over anything else, the volunteers need to work and be productive, however, the most crucial aspect falls upon how well-written and practical this plan is executed. That this would be a good idea if implemented efficiently, to help teachers in the classroom address things they might not otherwise have the time permitted to do.
