Difficult students can be found in both the online environment and in traditional college classrooms. Left unchecked, troublesome behavior is likely to become increasingly distracting as a semester progresses. Managed well, difficult behaviors provide opportunities to teach the offending student appropriate skills to be successful in college and in life. Managed poorly, these behaviors can lead to low performance evaluations and a poor learning environment for all students.

For this week’s assignment, you will demonstrate your potential for working with—instead of against—students with difficult behavior. In a word document, video or slide presentation or another layout of your choosing, address all the required topics listed below. Although there is no page or length requirement for this assignment to allow creative freedom, make sure that you have fully addressed all the required topics, using the textbook and at least two additional source to support your answers. Be sure to cite your sources appropriately both in-text and separate reference page in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

A local shelter that receives funding from the National Institute of Health and Mental Health is upgrading its website. Along with several upgrades to the website, the web developer/consultant makes a suggestion that the shelter add a testimonial page where local citizens can describe their positive interactions with the shelter and its services. Since the web developer/consultant want to get that page up and running first, the developer suggests using some positive ratings and responses from Angie’s List® and other similar ratings sites that already have positive stories and experiences with the shelter.

The director of the shelter loves the idea of a testimonial page. She thinks it would really add to the community feel of the shelter. However, knowing her funding source, she researches the APA Ethics Code and believes the shelter would be acting inappropriately. To discuss the matter in further detail, the director of the shelter calls you for an ethics consult. 

In 500-750 words, explain the advice you would give:

1. Describe the ethical issues involved in this situation.
2. Discuss any other concerns about the web developer/consultant’s strategies.
3. Explain some recommendations that you would make to the shelter.

Use two to three scholarly sources to support your claims.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
